“ | Acroyear: Will you never relent, monster? Must world after world suffer your inhuman evil? Baron Karza: Monster, Acroyear? Inhuman? I am neither, fool! The time travelers taught me my limitations! I am merely a man...so, in my own humble way, I have accepted only being able to inflict such small suffering as I can! Yes, sad isn't it? Bug: Some conqueror you're gonna be! What're ya gonna rule over? Ashes?? Karza: If worlds won't serve me, yes! Huntarr: But what of all the people inhabiting those worlds? What of the innocent millions?! Karza: Mere fodder for my Body Banks, Huntarr! Raw materials on which to experiment to create FREAKS LIKE YOU! |

“ | Monster? No, I am not a monster. Not even a GOD, though I sought to be the ultimate overlord of evil! But...the enigmatic time travelers have taught me that I am just a man, who can only transcend his humanity by committing one unspeakably INHUMAN ACT after another! | „ |

Baron Karza is a major antagonist in Marvel Comics, serving as the main antagonist of the Micronauts series.
He is the brutal tyrant that rules the Homeworld and conquered the Microverse. Upon learning there is land beyond the spacewall, Karza sought to conquer all that exists, placing himself as the archenemies of the Micronauts, and the former mentor of Commander Articus Rann, who he taught since birth, and the killer of both his and Princess Mari's parents.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Ungratefully slaughtered the entire monastery of monks known as the Sun Cult that nursed him back to health upon learning about their secrets of power and immortality.
- He kills Rann's parents, Regent Dallas and Lady Sepsis, to conquer the Homeworld.
- He has his forces invade other planets, threatening them all to submit to his tyrannical rule under the threat of destruction.
- He had already destroyed several other planets and their civilizations when they refused to bow down to him, razing entire cities and capturing the millions of natives to be used as harvesting sources for the Body Banks or guinea pigs for his horrific genetic experiments.
- Whoever is against him, Baron Karza has many members of the Resistance gunned down and condemns all who surrenders or defenseless to horrific fates in store such as:
- Be the biological sources for his horrific genetic experiments, transforming them to monstrous warriors such as the mindless dog soldiers he uses for combat called Dog Soldiers.
- Forced to be organ sources for the horrific Body Banks, immortalizing himself and all those loyal to him by making the dissenters unwilling organ donors, mutilating them and swapping the healthy organs of the dissenters with the aged organs of the clients, having immortalized himself through this process for thousands of years.
- When there are extras, he would toss the in the gladiator Games and force them to fight warrior bots to the death, who would rip them to shreds, all for his own amusement, even killing some of the warriors personally just for feeling bored.
- Anyone who is too old to be harvested for organs would be executed on-spot.
- He will only give immortality thanks to the Body Banks to those wealthy enough to pay for it. All who cannot afford it are forced to play "The Games" in which they gamble away their life savings to ensure to even get a chance to prolong their life for a few years, forcing them to give up their organs when gambling off more than they earned as a "fee" and then taking them away to the Body Banks when they are unable to "pay up" regularly.
- Hooks up thousands of women to robots that would forcibly impregnate them over and over and over again to churn out multiple infants Karza would use to create more Dog Soldiers, which would drive the women victimized by this to insanity. It is so bad the women drag their children and make a suicidal jump to an explosion to end both of their miseries.
- He has Prince Argon to be subjected to horrific genetic experiments, ripping off his upper body and fusing it with a horse to turn him into a centaur to mock the rebellion.
- Revokes the thoughtwashing Shaitan placed on his people to paint himself as the victim of his brother, Acroyear's betrayal, condemning him to death as the planet holds him as a death-row patient, all for his failure in capturing Rann and his team.
- Posses and merges with Professor Phillip Prometheus against his will to go on a destructive conquest on Earth.
- Kills dozens of army soldiers and police armies when going on his rampage on Earth to force it to submit to his rule.
- Sends his forces to bombard and destroy the planet Spartax as the Micronauts were taking refuge there, continuing with such even after the Micronauts leave.
- Spitefully attempts a suicidal move to destroy himself, Rann and the Homeworld in reaction to defeat.
- Orchestrates multiple deadly wars across the Microverse as part of his gambit to return to life.
- Resurrects Prince Shaitan and has him bombard the Homeworld's capital city to activate the post-operative he installed in Argon and turn him into his mindless slave.
- Brainwashes HYDRA and becomes its new head to raze the Earth, then the Macroverse and Microverse at large, into submission.
- Binds the Time Travellers and Commander Rann into his mind in a state of eternal agony to siphon their powers. The trauma was so big that Rann's 2 sides of his brain were disconnected from each other.
- Had Dagon kill Biotron to posthumously kill Rann in case he ever dies.
- Kills Queen Esmera when she attempts to free Argon from Karza's control.
- Still residing within King Argon's mind, Karza brainwashes him and forces him to be a carbon copy of himself, forcing him to restart his depraved regime against the will and do deplorable crimes like selling out the Macroverse to the Demons for destruction in exchange for ruling the Microverse, to reopening the Body Banks and restarting the games, to forcing Argon to use his own fiancee who he loved, Lady Slug to be fodder for the Body Banks and swapping her mind with the aging body of Duchess Belladonna.
- When Argon's usefulness is finished as he attains enough freedom to warn the citizens of Homeworld and apologize for all the horrific deeds he was forced to do, Karza kills him by emerging from his body, turning him to a lifeless husk.
- Tortures Iann-23 into becoming his mindlessly loyal servant and abomination, Huntarr, while disfiguring his mother and forcing his sister to be a breeder.
- Murders Slug and Duchess Belladonna in cold-blood.
- Uses a lens to boil the oceans of Oceania and boil its entire population to death before committing other sadistic genocides to force the other worlds in the Microverse to surrender to his rule.
- When finally offered a chance for godhood, when realizing at worst he will have to be neutral, renounces his ambitions of godhood and happily embraces to be an evil conqueror for the rest of his life.
- Attempts to use a solar flare to destroy the ice-capped planet of Never-Summer as a demonstration to those who refuse to bow to him.
- Rounds up the entire population of the Homeworld to the Body Banks to butcher them all and rebuild them as the Unmen, abominations in constant pain and siccing them against the Micronauts. When they kill them all, Karza dismisses their deaths as he notes he can merely use the Micronuts and the populace of other worlds to create more Unmen to replace them.
- When finally destroyed, Karza's spirit still remained, attempting to sabotage the Micronauts' plan to sacrifice themselves to restore life on the Homeworld by possessing Rann, despite knowing doing so will result in the destruction of the Microverse, solely to preserve his own existence and restart his conquests.
