Disclose Notes: Final Golden Age appearance. Decades after the character entered the public domain, Marvel Comics created their own version of Dr. Nemesis (now calling himself Dr. Death). He was introduced in INVADERS (Marvel, 1993 series) #1-4. He later returned in UNCANNY X-MEN (Marvel, 1981 series) #504, where he once again used the name Dr. Nemesis.

One indexer lists art credits as Louis Ferstadt.
