History
Countess Mara was a Nazi agent that was active during World War II. In 1941, she and other Nazi spies were stationed in a castle near Camp Lehigh and were assigned to steal a new raid fire grenade launcher that was being shipped there. Pretending to faint in the middle of the road, the truck stopped so the drivers could check on her. These drivers turned out to be Private Steve Rogers and James Barnes who were secretly Captain America and Bucky. Sending Barnes off to get help, Steve was ambushed and caught in the blast of a grenade tossed by Countess Mara and left for dead.[1]
Mara stole the grenade launcher and took it back to her hideout, sending one of her men to eliminate James before he could alert anyone for help. James was saved by Steve, and as Captain American and Bucky, they followed after Countess Mara. Fighting through her minions, they almost retrieved the stolen truck; however, Mara gassed them and took them prisoner. She then had them placed in a room filled with fire spewing jets to torture them before eliminating the two heroes once and for all. This proved her undoing, as Captain America and Bucky broke free and battled her men anew. The Countess then attempted to use the rapid fire grenade launcher against Captain America. The one grenade fired was deflected by Cap's shield and the resulting explosion killed all of Mara's men and sent their hideout crashing to the ground. Surviving the blast, Mara begged Captain America and Bucky not to torture and kill her. Cap told her that was not their way and intended to send her back to Germany with a message to Hitler: That Americans will never stop fighting for freedom.[1]
