Notes:

Count Nefaria first gained super-powers when he was genetically augmented to duplicate the powers of Whirlwind, the human Living Laser, and the ionically-enhanced Power Man. This power process apparently became fatal, and he died accidentally at Iron Man's hand in Iron Man (1st series) #116. Like all ionic beings, however, Nefaria returned to life with newfound control over his abilities in Iron Man Annual 1999.
