MAJOR DEEJ UNIVERSE

Karl (later changed to Carl) Heisner was born in Berlin, Germany in 1910 during World War I.  His father was a manufacturer of medical supplies, providing a half-decent middle class lifestyle for his family even after World War I ended.

 

Karl was educated in private schools, all with Germanic roots to them.  While attending the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin, he met several influential professors and faculty members that leaned toward a more 'German-centric' form of government.  Thanks to World War I, this mentality was commonplace throughout Berlin's four major universities.  He quickly became friends with them and in the following years, became one of the first in the Nazi Party.

 

After achieving a Masters Degree in International Relations, his friends from college got him a job with the government in Berlin.  At that time, the Weimar Republic was in charge, but with so many attempts by Prussians and Communists to take over the government, there was chaos everywhere.  Heisner was asked to go to work for the Weimar Republicans and 'spy' on them and provide information to the slowly growing Nazi Party headed by Adolph Hitler, which Heisner was only too happy to do.  As a result of his spying, the Nazi Party was able to counter any and all political attacks and agendas against them.  Heisner was held in high regard for his work, and in 1933, with Adolph Hitler named as Germany's new Chancellor, the Third Reich came to be.

​

Heisner was installed in Hitler's SS Division as a Captain for his earlier work.  His new job was to catalog and 'round-up' Jews throughout Germany.  Although not the job he wanted, he of course did it well, identified over 25,000 Jews in and about Germany and Austria.

​

In one such encounter with a Jewish family in Bonn, Germany, Captain Heisner was interrogating a Jewish man about his origins, with the Jewish man's family standing next to him.  At one point, Heisner told the man he had 24 hours to pack up his things and go to the train station to be 'relocated' to Munich with hundreds of other Jews.  The Jewish man kept turning a ring over and over on his finger nervously.  The ring was a large one, too large for the man's finger, and had what seemed to be a glowing red gemstone in it.  Heisner asked about the ring, if was a family heirloom, to which the Jewish man abruptly stood up and order Heisner and his men to leave and forget about ever seeing them. Heisner strangely followed what the man said, as did the other SS personnel, however, as Heisner got to the door, he felt himself fighting through a mental haze; a haze that started as a result of the Jewish man's words.  Breaking through the haze, he realized that the Jewish man had somehow controlled Heisner's own mind to do what the Jewish man asked.

​

Heisner, in a quick grip of fear, turned and shot the Jewish man in the head, killing him instantaneously.

​

The Jewish man's family screamed in horror, trying to help the man.  Heisner shot each of them dead as well.

​

Moments later, the rest of the SS personnel came into the room feeling fuzzy and disoriented.  They'd also been mind controlled.

​

Heisner looked down at the dead Jewish man's ring to see it was no longer glowing red.

​

Heisner pocketed the ring (without anyone seeing) and order the home and bodies burned.

​

Days later, Heisner took the ring and wore it himself.  He felt a rush of power in his head, as if he was more focused now that he'd ever been.  A old, spiteful secretary of Heisner barged into Heisner's office with a tray of coffee.  Heisner yelled at her, telling her, for the last time, to knock before entering, for which she responded, "I have been here far longer than you; respect that, Captain!".  Angrily, Heisner decided to test if the ring really could control minds, so, he told her to pour the coffee on her head, which she immediately did and ran out of the office screaming as a result of 2nd degree burns on her scalp and face.  Later, he discovered she didn't even remember why she poured the coffee on herself and quit her position for 'medical reasons'.

​

After doing some deep research with a few old professors from the university, Heisner discovered he held a mythical ring called the "Drahtizeher (English translation: 'Mastermind') Ring" - a ring that account claim could allow the ring bearer to control the minds of people...and kill them with put a thought.  The last time the ring had been seen was in a museum in France during World War I, where is was said to most likely been stolen or destroyed.

​

The ring could easily grant the him incredible power, even the power of Adolph Hitler himself.  Heisner thought long and hard about it, and decided, in his years of spying and patience, that the ring was a tool, and not a direct ends to a means.  Heisner decided to use the ring only to promote himself towards positions of power over time, and eventually, of all of Germany.

​

Over the next few years, Heisner excelled and quickly became a colonel in the SS...that is, until he met SS Colonel Amell VonBattenberg (AKA Baron Berlin).  VonBattennberg, an SS Colonel, was onto Heisner and his quick rise to power and position.  As such VonBattenberg had several 'meetings' with Heisner, trying to feel him out.  At one point, Heisner believed he needed to use the ring to 'order' VonBattenberg to quit hounding him and instead accept Heisner as a superior, to which, amazingly, VonBattenberg said "Not likely".

​

This was the first time anyone had ever broken a mental control effort done by Heisner.

​

Heisner pressed the issue again, but concentrating even more, only for VonBattenberg to stand up and slap Heisner in the face, telling him, "you are a little man who thinks he has power over me and others.  We shall soon see who has power over who, Herr Heisner. Now leave here before I have you imprisoned for disrespect to a senior SS officer!".

​

Heisner left and quickly realized that VonBattenberg's mental acuity was obviously far greater than Heisner's or the ring's.  There were limits to the rings effectiveness.

​

A day later, Heisner was placed under a new command led by Colonel VonBattenberg, who was now code-named as "Baron Berlin" - the new command was a secretive tactical interdiction unit code-named "Axis Force".  Heisner was stripped of his Colonel rank and made a Major for 'operational purposes' and told that he was to be sent out to London and Paris to supply intelligence to Baron Berlin AND ONLY Baron Berlin from that point forward.  Baron Berlin made it abundantly clear that Heisner was NOT the only spy being sent and that other spies would be spying on him, spying on Britain and France. He demanded daily reports and always something reportable each day; any day's without any pertinent information would cause Baron Berlin to have a 'lapse of faith' in Heisner's abilities as a spy causing the Baron to permanently remove Heisner from the situation.  To add to the threats, Baron Berlin also made reference to Heisner's parents and the fact that he'd hate to see anything happen to such devout parents.

​

Heisner was riled by the power play that Baron Berlin did, but he also did his research on VonBattenberg; if there was anyone who could backup his words, it was him.  Even if Heisner controlled someone mentally to kill VonBattenberg, Heisner knew his parents and himself would be in great jeopardy.

​

Over the next few years and entering into World War II, Heisner was sent to dozens of locations with new false identities, disguises and positions allowing him to effectively spy for Nazi Germany.  Although he hated Baron Berlin, he love the Nazi Party more, and as such, used his talents and his ring to become the best spy ever in Nazi Germany and the SS.

​

In 1942, Heisner was given a unique assignment by Baron Berlin to go undercover as an U.S. Army Major Jacob Smith, who was to be assigned as a classified communication specialist and translator for a secretive Allied special forces unit called the "Allied Fighters", headed by a Captain John Brown (AKA Captain (later, Major) Invader). For the next three years, Heisner reported every single day-to-day action of the Allied Fighters; their location, resources, weaponry, assignments, personal status...everything.  This information caused multiple Allied Fighters missions to not only fail, but directly led to the deaths of several Allied Fighters in combat and dozens of Allied Fighter support team members and troops, not to mention hundreds of Allied troop movements and intel that was gleaned from the Allied Fighters classified briefings.

​

Baron Berlin used Heisner's daily spy reports to do as much damage to the Allied Fighters and the Allied forces as best he could. Sadly, Baron Berlin was NOT Adolph Hitler, and although the Baron demanded hundreds of tactical actions so as to counter and defeat the allies as a result of the intel Heisner provided, Hitler, most of the time, either ignored Baron Berlin's demands or outright countered them in front of the German military officers. Baron Berlin was pleased with Heisner's turnaround and quality of work, and apologized to Heisner, stating that 'if you and I (Heisner and Baron Berlin) were running this war, we'd have already won'.  Heisner, at that point, felt a connection with VonBattenberg, and as a result, told VonBattenberg that he'd follow him any given day of the week (which Heisner, at that point, truly meant).

​

In mid 1945, Heisner was at a forward operations base in France with a then-very-pregnant Ms. Vindicator (bearing hers and Captain Invader's child).  Ms. Vindicator was a bit of a busybody and as such, watched everyone like a hawk.  In nearly three years, Heisner had never missed a daily report to Baron Berlin, but thanks to Ms. Vindicator snooping around and not leaving the office, Heisner was quickly realizing he was going to miss a deadline; a deadline where he still had to take secret photos of classified documents located next to Ms. Vindicator's desk.  Try as he might, Heisner couldn't get her to leave with his natural skills, so, he used the Drahtzieher Ring ordering her to leave the office and go to bed.

​

Ms. Vindicator turned left the office without a word.

​

Heisner, with mere minutes left to the spy cache drop to be done, took a dozen microfilm pictures of the allied classified documents he needed...only to turn and see Ms. Vindicator standing over his shoulder.  He'd been caught for the first time ever spying.

​

Panicking, Heisner pushed the pregnant Ms. Vindicator away, only for her to slam Heisner onto the desk, breaking his nose in the process.  Ms. Vindicator called for security, but by that time, Heisner reached into his desk drawer, pulled out his assigned US service pistol and shot Ms. Vindicator four times...one shot killing the baby instantly.  Ms Vindicator, as she fell backwards, engaged her energy blasters to full and blasted Heisner and the entire back wall of the office with an incredibly powerful energy blast.  Heisner laid stunned for a few seconds, burned, with a head injury and a broken arm.  When soldiers entered the scene, Ms. Vindicator was already gurgling up blood, unable to speak.  Thinking fast, Heisner told the soldiers that it was Baron Berlin who was trying to assassinate Ms. Vindicator, and pointed out past the destroyed wall in the direction the (made up) Baron ran off to.

​

By that time, medics and two other Allied Fighter superheroes showed up on scene to aid Ms. Vindicator.  Heisner knew his spy mission was now compromised and as such, snuck out of the office, then the base, and made his way back to Nuremberg, Germany and the Axis Force HQ, using his ring to control allied soldiers to get him there safely, killing the soldiers, or having them kill each other, in the process.

​

Upon his return to Axis Force HQ, Baron Berlin applauded Heisner for one of the greatest assassinations he'd ever heard of and commended Heisner with his own code-name: Major Drahtzieher.  This of course led to Heisner realizing that Baron Berlin knew about the power of the ring (since he mentioned the ring's name as part of Heisner's new codename), to which Baron Berlin simply tapped his ring finger, the same location Heisner wore his ring, with a look of 'I know what that is' in the Baron's visage.

 

As the Soviets were advancing from the east and the allies advancing from the west, Baron Berlin and all of Axis Force was ordered to come to Berlin.  There, all of Axis Force's team members and support staff, including Heisner, were gathered into separate rooms to await personal orders fro Adolph Hitler himself.​

​

Heisner knew something was wrong.  He felt the psychic emanations from the senior staff; something against Axis Force.  At one point, Heisner shook hands with one of his best friends, an old college buddy, now a German U-Boat Commander, who was also there at the bunker.  His friend had been kind enough to check in on Heisner's family from time to time to get them what they needed.  He knew where they lived as well.  Although the encounter was brief, Heisner still felt a heavy trepidation about the room.

​

He finally was able to get close enough to a guard to read his mind.

 

All of Axis Force was to be executed for Treason by order of Adolph Hitler himself.

​

Heisner was then marched into a bunker room and told to stay with an SS enlisted guard.

​

Heisner knew he couldn't get out of the bunker alive; too many corners, barriers and walls protecting the soldiers guarding the exits.  He knew the extent of the ring's power, and knew if was too great of a gamble to use the ring's power to escape. Heisner was now more worried about his wife and their new child, knowing that punishment was usually meted out to family members as well.

​

Thinking fast, Heisner sat and wrote a message to his friend, the U-boat commander.  In the message he told him to save their wives and children and to immediately leave on a U-boat for South America and to get them all to safety and scuttle the sub once there.  He told his friend that he and his family would most likely be executed just for knowing the Heisners and that this was the only way for them and their families to survive the war, especially the expectation of the murder and rapes the Soviets would perform on the women of Berlin once they took over the city.  He also stated the enclosed ring was to be given to his unborn child to remember him better by.

​

Heisner used the power of the ring one last time on the guard letting him to slip the message and ring into his friend's pocket and to forget he'd ever done so.  Minutes later, the guard returned, took his post, and for a few seconds, seemed confused. The moment for Heisner and the guard was lost when four soldiers and an SS Major entered the room and read charges against Heisner, one of which, shocked him to his very core.

​

He was charged as a co-conspirator with Baron Berlin on stealing million of German Marks worth from the German people and the Fuhrer himself.  He was also charged with falsifying his reports, stating that Ms. Vindicator was dead; she was alive and recovering in a United States hospital (note: no mention was made of the loss of Ms. V's baby). As such, Karl Heisner was to be stripped of his rank and taken to present himself before a firing squad immediately.

​

His jacket ripped off of him, Heisner was dragged up the bunker stairs to an open courtyard where several other Axis Force support team members were already dead by execution.  As the firing squad executed Heisner, Heisner yelled his final act of defiance stating that he would one day show the world what a true German nation will be one day - Baron Berlin's vision - a new Reichsland.

​

Karl Heisner was executed by the German SS Division at 2302 in Berlin, Germany on 10 April 1945.

 

His body was burned in a mass pyre.

​

On an additional note, Eva Heisner was secretly transported that same night to an airfield where she and a handful of other Nazi women and children where shepherded to a U-boat, where several other German Naval families escaped onto and made way to Argentina.  There, these families took new names and lived out the rest of their lives in secret until their eventual natural deaths.

​

Eva Heiser gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, Adolph and Wilma Heisner (later secretly changed to Wagner). Adolph inherited his father's ring and was told, in great detail, the sacrifices his father did for the Fatherland and Hitler's eventual betrayal of the Third Reich.

​

Adolph later changed his name to Alex Wagner and eventually moved to the United States to start a new life; a life with the Drahtzieher Ring always in a ring box...and never worn by Adolph Heisner/Alex Wagner...ever.  That ring, and the stories of his father, Karl Heisner, were handed down generation to generation, even to Adolph Heisner/Alex Wagner's grandson, Wolfgang Wagner.
