** Precisely ''how'' [[MyNaymeIs weirdly spelled]] her name is has varied over the years; "Sinthea" has appeared in some older ancillary material, but "Synthia" seems to be the version used nowadays.
** Also, her German-American last name. The correct spelling is "Schmidt," but it's sometimes misspelled "Shmidt" in official materials.



* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Literally, in this case. Precisely ''how'' [[MyNaymeIs weirdly spelled]] her name is has varied over the years; the variant "Sinthea" is common online, and has apparently appeared in some older ancillary material. "Synthia" seems to be the version used nowadays, however.
** Also, her German-American last name. The correct spelling is "Schmidt," but it's often misspelled "Shmidt," sometimes even in official materials.

* AscendedExtra: The character who would become Sin was originally an incredibly forgettable generic straw villain from the early [[UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks Comics Dark Age]], with a completely different name, costume, power set, and indeed, personality and appearance. She was reused once, in a goofy plotline that involved Captain America de-aging into a teenager, then never again for some time. But Creator/EdBrubaker wrote her into his plots (and substantially rewrote the character while at it), and from then on she's been a somewhat major villain.

* GeniusBruiser: It wasn't uncommon to see Heinrich in the thick of battle, which is never a good sign, because he's smart enough to only be there because he likes his odds.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Despite being the BigBad of Remender's run during ''ComicBook/MarvelNOW'', that series closes with him returning to Dimension Z with only his pride lightly bruised. After ''ComicBook/Secret Empire'', he is conscripted by Absolution Solutions and is almost killed by Quicksand, one of his test subjects. When he manages to escape that situation, his latest scheme is thwarted by Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson in the prologue of ''ComicBook/CaptainAmericaSentinelOfLiberty'' and ''ComicBook/CaptainAmericaSymbolOfTruth''. Before he can recover from that, Ian Rogers liberates Dimension Z in his absence during ''ComicBook/CaptainAmericaColdWar'', finally freeing it from Zola.

* FemaleMisogynist: She thinks [[ComicBook/Agent13 Sharon Carter]], of all people, is despicably weak and feminine. Her thoughts when Sharon is grieving over her fiancé's death:
-->Sin feels no empathy at all for Carter's anguish and loss. She despises her as a weakling who sucks up sympathy from gullible men. She is glad to be the agent of even more pain for her.


Added DiffLines:

* LethallyStupid: Throughout the [[Creator/EdBrubaker Brubaker]] ''Captain America'' run. Almost ''everything'' that goes wrong with the Skull's plans in this period is due to her gleefully juggling the VillainBall and the IdiotBall, and she causes a lot of unrelated havoc besides. This arc ''justifies'' everything bad he's been saying about her.
