"Why should I fear a robot suit when I have become der Übermensch?"
—Krieger to Ray Palmer[src]

Baron Krieger (died 1942) was a member of the Nazi Party and an SS-Standartenführer, overseeing both governmental and military matters. He was nicknamed "Super-Krieger" by Ray Palmer when dosed with Eobard Thawne's biomolecular enhancer, although his own nickname of choice was der Übermensch.

Biography

In 1942, Krieger went to Paris and met with Herr Thawne, who was trying to obtain the Askaran Amulet. When Krieger said that Hitler would not part with the item, Thawne gave him a small dose of a biomolecular enhancer as a bargaining chip, saying that the Nazis will need to aid themselves in battle against the JSA's super-soldiers team.[1]

Surrounded by the JSA and Legends in field, Krieger had tested enhancer on himself, transforming into a monstrous being and easily defeating Amaya Jiwe and Ray Palmer, capturing them as other heroes were forced to depart. After some time, Krieger lost his "berseker" form, reverting into his human form. Threatening the life of Jiwe, Krieger had forced Palmer to produce another dose of "the serum", which Ray successfully did.[1]

Krieger had used the enhancer again to transform into Übermensch, but was defeated by JSA and Legends, with Nate and Henry Heywood luring him into a bombing, killing him [1]

Personality

Like many Nazis, especially SS members, Krieger was a cold manipulative officer and soldier, attempting to empower the Third Reich at any cost and by any means. He was also seemingly believing in Nietzsche ideas of Übermensch and thought of himself as being such after using the biomolecular enhancer. However, Krieger was also cultured and pragmatic, avoiding dropping down to racism and name-calling while dealing with Amaya Jiwe, concentrated on his mission to get more of the "super-serum" from Ray Palmer. Although, as Amaya speculated, he'd kill them both as soon as he got what he wanted.[1] He was also surprisingly honorable, as he followed up his end of the bargain with Eobard Thawne, and made preparations to deliver the Askaran Amulet to him, in exchange for his super serum. Despite this he is also a bit cautious, by ordering Ray to replicate Thawne's serum, in case Thawne doesn't hold up his end of the bargain.
