If there’s an evil mirror-version of The Avengers, it’s The Masters of Evil. Baron Heinrich Zemo first assembled this group when he learnt that Cap had survived the war and was now part of The Avengers. Like the Avengers this team’s roster changed many times over the years. The first incarnation of this group had two faces. The Baron first recruited The Melter, Radioactive Man, and the villainous Black Knight. Almost immediately after this group was defeated Zemo allied himself with The Enchantress and The Executioner, and, both briefly and reluctantly, Wonderman. The Black Knight and the Melter later returned to this original version of the Masters of Evil.
