History
The Schutz Heiliggruppe pursued the Red Skull and his Skeleton Crew in an attempt to have him tried for war crimes.[4] The group was stopped by Arnim Zola's duplicates of Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America.
After realizing the deception, Vormund continued his pursuit, running into Captain America. The two worked together until learning that Schmidt had apparently been killed by Scourge.[5]
Vormund later was assigned to investigate the murder of several superheroes. His teammate Zeitgeist was revealed as the Everyman. Vormund used his powers to redirect Everyman's sword, killing him.[6]Attributes
