Nice. I just re-read his very first appearance in The Invaders issue 7 (cover-dated July 1976). Fun villain! It's been so long I remembered almost nothing about him. Some more covers featuring Baron Blood:

Actually, yes they were. Show me earlier examples.It's not like these are all super original names.
It looks like Quicksilver is the only one that is close in that he's a speedster. . . but the name IS Quicksilver. lolIt's not like these are all super original names. Tell me when they get to things like Yondu or gorilla Grodd
