Backstory: His identity wreathed in mystery. Armageddon was a nazi agent driven by both a disgusting belief in eugenics, and an undying hatred for Russia. Acquiring a number of weapons and concotions, he would be sent to America in order to collapse its government so that Germany could conquer the world.

Between scientific inventions which were decades beyond anything possible in the 1950s, and magical artifacts capable of incredible feats, Armageddon was a force to be reckoned with who was fervently dedicated to his twisted beliefs.

Backstory: Grandaughter of the original Armageddon. This bearer of the Armageddon mantle was an unwilling subject in the experiments of her father and grandfather. Subjected to inhumane experiments with her DNA being altered and spliced with that of an ogres to give her incredible strength to rival that of Wonder Womans.

Never bearing a name aside from the title of Armageddon which had been bestowed upon her and created for the sole purpose of slaying Wonder Woman, the modern day bearer of the mantle of Armageddon went through torturous experimentation all for the sake of her father and grandfathers ambitions.

Sharing neither her forefathers ideological beliefs, nor their ambitions of somehow aiding nazism towards world domination, Armageddon the 3rd would flee to the Yukon territories of Canada where she would live in solitude in the wilds. For her twisted visage made it impossible for any to look upon her without screaming in terror. Ensuring it otherwise impossible to live a life of peace.

Despite this, Armageddon would be found by Paula Von Gunther who convinced her that the true source of her woes stemmed from Wonder Woman. Arguing that if she slew Wonder Woman, the being she was created to murder, then she would have her revenge and the purpose which she had been raised to would be gone.

Thus Armageddon the 3rd would join Paulas four horsewomen consisting of herself, Paula Von Gunther, Devastation, and Genocide in trying to end the life of Wonder Woman.
