Madame Doom was a European adventuress and a spy who sold her services to the highest bidder, even if that highest bidder happened to be one of the Axis powers. She was a recurring opponent of Black X, an American secret agent. During their first encounter, Black X and Madame Doom found themselves developing feelings for each other. During their next few encounters, Madame Doom tried to convert Black X to her side, while Black X tried to convert her to his. This culminated with Black X resigning from Secret Service to be with Madame Doom. For some reason, Madame Doom decided this meant that he would help her with her latest plot to assassinate Allied ambassadors, a plot that involved chemically-induced suicide bombers. When the appalled Black X rejected her, she blew herself up. Somehow, Madame Doom managed to survive. From that point on, the romantic tension between her and Black X vanished and they became ordinary antagonists. In Smash Comics #27, Madame Doom aided Black X against a mutual enemy, Franz Wetzel, but she wound up double-crossing Black X at the very end.
