| The evil genius that plans to conquer the world! '''Baron Ironblood''' obscures his real identity behind a grim helmet and has plagued the [[Action Man]] Programme for years, not to mention the [[w:Lord Buckethead|British electorate]]. Now, he is a lead member of a supervillain cabal bent on world domination!

| Baron Ironblood joined forces with [[Doctor X]], [[Storm Shadow II|Storm Shadow]], [[Iron Klaw]], [[Garrison Kreiger]], and [[Tomax and Xamot|Tomax Paoli]] to capture and exploit the [[Talisman]]. {{storylink|Enter The Shadow}} {{storylink|The Secret of the Mummy's Tomb}} Part of their plan involved taking over an old [[Cobra]] base on [[Moon (moon)|the moon]], though to his irritation Action Man ended up there. Ironblood sensibly wanted to kill the hero but clashed with Doctor X, who wanted a more elaborate solution; this led to Mr Man bringing his [[Revolutionaries|allies]] up to the moon and the villains had to retreat without the Talisman. Remember, always be killing. {{storylink|Enter The Shadow}}

| The cabal alerted Tomax that the heroes would be after him next {{storylink|The Secret of the Mummy's Tomb}} before the Baron went to [[Kalistan]] to speak with Iron Klaw and admire his new allies, the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]]. Things looked up when Tomax and his mind-controlled robot [[Centurion (IDW)|Centurion]] captured [[G.B. Blackrock|Garrison Blackrock]]. They used a replica of the Talisman to experiment on Blackrock but found themselves punked when it turned out "Tomax" was [[Snake-Eyes|Snake Eyes]] in disguise; the ninja beat up the baron before he and his friends ran off with data taken and the Predacons disabled. In the aftermath, Ironblood advocated cutting ties with the real Tomax and Centurion. {{storylink|The Iron Klaw}}

| *Baron Ironblood originated as the leader of the [[Red Shadow]]s, the evil faction from ''[[Action Force (team)|Action Force]]'', ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s British antecedent-slash-counterpart, who were eliminated from the ''Action Force'' story and replaced with [[Cobra]] when [[Hasbro]] acquired the property and folded it into ''G.I. Joe'' mythology. Notably, the old IPC ''Battle Action Force'' strip handled this transition by establishing [[Cobra Commander]] as a new identity for Ironblood... and though the Baron ''hasn't'' yet taken on the title of "Cobra Commander" in IDW continuity, ''First Strike'' does see him take command of Cobra!
| |
| **''Action Force'' spun out of ''Action Man'' like ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' spun out of ''[[Joe Colton|G.I. Joe]]'', hence him being tied to Action Man by IDW.

| *While he is normally depicted with his helmet on, his very first picture of all time, the cover of ''Battle'' #422, shows him in all his smirky glory.
