  Count Nefaria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nefaria possesses vast superhuman abilities; his exact powers are nearly identical to Superman's except that he lacks X-ray vision and other purely sensory abilities (in fact, they are exactly the same as those of the golden age Superman in his first appearance).
Nefaria also greatly valued his family tradition of utter respectability, yet his lust for even greater wealth and power led him to become a powerful figure in the Maggia, the notorious international crime syndicate which has its origins in southern Europe, but included no noblemen.
Nefaria's new master plan was to bombard the Earth with ionic energy using an ionic bomb; the survivors would become ionic beings that he could control and drain at his leisure.

 Avengers/Thunderbolts v1: The Nefaria Protocols Review - Silver Bullet Comics
In “The Nefaria Protocols,” a re-publication of a 2000 Avengers/Thunderbolts crossover, writers Kurt Busiek and Fabian Nicieza and artists George Perez and Mark Bagley deliver a traditional superhero story with intense character moments and edgy action as the Avengers and Thunderbolts unite against Count Nefaria.
Regrettably, in paperback format the Thunderbolt subplots are rather obtrusive, most notably in the first Thunderbolt reprint where the Crimson Cowl and Citizen V are in the heat of battle.
This battle is totally unrelated to the Nefaria plot and stalls the crossover’s momentum.
