Fictional character biography
Baron Brimstone is a criminal who appears to use a combination of magical powers and technological devices in committing thefts. Baron Brimstone successfully steals the Sol-Mac from the Chem-Solar Corporation with the intention of mass producing it as a weapon and selling it to various figures in the "criminal underworld." The security at Chem-Solar and Machine Man are unable to stop him in stealing the Sol-Mac. Baron Brimstone later organizes a meeting with non-Maggia affiltrated criminals to recruit them into his Satan Squad. Duke Dawson, one of the assembled criminals, takes the exception of Brimstone's leadership and met with Delmar Insurance agent Pamela Quinn. This results in Baron Brimstone sending his lieutenants "Snake" Marston and "Hammer" Harrison to bring her to Brimstone for interrogation. When Machine Man tracks them and finds the Satan Squad's hideout, he rescues Quinn, and handed Baron Brimstone to the police.
While at a Maximum Security unit on Ryker's Island, Baron Brimstone hypnotizes a guard into freeing him. During this escape, he frees Sandman. Baron plots revenge on Machine Man. With Sandman, he appears at Delmar Insurance to kidnap Pamela Quinn only to be thwarted by Machine Man and Spider-Man. Baron Brimstone manages to escape.1
Baron Brimstone later robs a casino on the French Riviera. The Caribbean-based casino owners hire Paladin to bring him to justice. The Wasp assists in the Baron's defeat. 2
During the Acts of Vengeance, Doctor Doom later uses his Aggression Enhancer to force Baron Brimstone, as well as Armadillo, Man-Ape, Orka, Stilt-Man, and Whirlwind, into attacking the Fantastic Four at their court hearing. All the villains are defeated and taken into police custody 3
