Säurespritze was a costumed German super-villain active in Nazi Germany in the early years of World War II. Along with Blitzkrieg and Zahnmörder, he was part of a team known as Das Vernichtungs-Kommandos (also referred to as the Death Squad or the Killing Squad). The mysterious leader of the Death Squad was the masked villain Agent X. Clad in a helmet, gas mask and a long coat, Säurespritze was armed with special wrist gauntlets that projected bursts of highly concentrated acid.
