The Lord of Frosts emerged on the world stage shortly after Japan's 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. While the members of the Imperial Wind were considered the most formidable soldiers in the Japanese army, the Lord of Frosts was recognized as Japan's deadliest weapon. The Lord of Frosts led his squad in countless battles across the South Pacific, "his sights set firmly on the American West Coast."

"The island hopping battles in the Pacific theater had a very different character from the massive land engagements tearing across Europe. This was nowhere more true than in the battle between opposing super powered soldiers. The bitter war between the Imperial Wind and America's heroes quickly became very personal. [American hero] Captain Volcano and The Lord of Frosts clashed again and again and each became utterly obsessed with defeating the other. The maelstrom of their enmity drew in the rest of the heroes from both sides, effectively creating a separate war from the main conflict that raged around them. While Navy fighter planes and carriers fought at Midway and US marines stormed Iwo Jima, the super powered rivals fought epic but strategically pointless battles over desert islands and empty expanses of ocean."

After the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, "the surviving members of the Imperial Wind refused to accept Japan's surrender and continued to fight on for several more months. Captain Volcano and company kept after the rogue Japanese super men and fought a series of battles across the South Pacific. The years of dueling between the two finally came to a tragic end in the far off island of New Ireland. There the Lord of Frosts finally overcame Captain Volcano, killing the American hero and snatching some small personal victory out of the jaws of his nation and empire's defeat. The US mourned their hero's passing and a worldwide manhunt for the missing Lord of Frosts was launched." Unfortunately, most of the heroes had to stop the search prematurely when the villain known as Nemesis took control of Washington, D.C.
