Lucia von Bardas is a Latverian woman who used to teach at the University of North Carolina in the United States. After Victor von Doom was deposed as the leader of Latveria, the Americans helped von Bardas get elected as the Prime Minister of Latveria. She then began publicly mending the ties between the two countries.

In truth, however, von Bardas was secretly funding American technology-based supercriminals through the Tinkerer. S.H.I.E.L.D. found out about this, but the President didn’t take measures that Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. had suggested, believing that they could handle the situation diplomatically. In a panic, Fury gathered a group of heroes for an undercover mission to overthrow the Latverian government and assassinate von Bardas. When Fury reached von Bardas, he gave the signal for S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Daisy Johnson used her seismic powers to take down Castle Doom, apparently killing von Bardas.

Nevertheless, von Bardas survived, but was made into a deformed cyborg. A year later she attacked Luke Cage, one of the people in Nick Fury’s team, put him in a coma and sent the tech villains who were in debt to her after other heroes implicated in the “secret war”. Von Bardas eventually entered the fight herself and activated the villains’ tech material, which created an anti-matter bomb when combined together, powerful enough to wipe America off the face of the Earth. Von Bardas continued to mock Fury. Von Bardas was in mid-gloat when she began to scream. She was taken down again by Daisy Johnson, who had hit Lucia's power source with her seismic powers. This caused a power surge in the bomb and shut down von Bardas herself. It remains to be seen in what kind of condition she survived the incident.
