The Nazis installed Gunther DeLamb upon the Markovian throne during WWII. His son Frederick exploited his position as heir apparent, treating the Markovians like slaves. At the end of the war King Viktor Markov was restored to the throne and Frederick, fearing reprisal fled the country. He amassed a fortune, and when he decided the political climate was right, staged a coup in Markovia. He took the name Baron Bedlam (Bedlam being an anagram of his last name) and seized the throne after murdering King Viktor Markov. Geo-Force, the young heir to the throne, formed a super-team named the Outsiders to combat Bedlam. |
