Admiral Nodope was part of Imperial Japan's navy during World War II. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, the Japanese sent a fleet of troops to attack the San Francisco coast. Admiral Nodope led ships on this attack. They were opposed by the Human Torch and his sidekick Toro. The two flaming heroes damaged Nodope's ship, forcing him to retreat back to Japan. There, he was ordered by his superiors to prevent the Torch and Toro from fleeing the country with a bunch of recently liberated American soldiers. During the conflict, the Torch and Toro turned a pile of scrap metal into a tidal wave of molten metal which they used to smother the Japanese soldiers attacking them. The soldiers were killed instantly, including Admiral Nodope.

Admiral von Roeder was a high ranking member of the Nazis during World War II. By March of 1943, Adolf Hitler, furious about the continued survival of the Sub-Mariner, directly ordered von Roeder to eliminate the Atlantean monarch. To this end, the Admiral took on Oskar Kessler to assist him. Kessler, a brilliant scientist, had built massive robots to be used in warfare but lacked the faith of his superiors to build them. Liking the idea, von Roeder ordered Kessler to build an army. Manning one of the robots, the pair led their army into the ocean and threatened to kill an Atlantean boy if he did not reveal the location of Atlantis. When the boy told them the location of his home, they killed the boy anyway and staged an assault on the underwater kingdom. Namor came to the aid of his people, but despite his best efforts, Admiral von Roeder's attack only stopped when Namor was believed to have been crushed to death. Surviving, Namor followed them and pushed von Roeder and Kessler's robot down an underwater trench. The tremendous pressure caused their robot to be crushed, killing them. Namor then sent the severed head of the robot to the shores of Germany as a warning to the Nazis to not attack his home.
