Kleiser had a secret military base on an island in the North Atlantic ocean. There he was ready to launch a nuclear missile against the United States to win the war. He was stopped by Captain America and many American paratroopers who attacked the base. Kleiser was wounded by Cap's shield but he then reveled that he was a Chitauri, curing his wound. Then he pursued Captain America to the missile but he fell into the ocean, along with Cap, apparently killed.

Kleiser coordinated a worldwide invasion of Earth, but Kleiser was defeated by Captain America and Black Panther when he was drowned in liquid Vibranium.

Powers[]

Weaknesses[]

Arrogance: Kleiser had a massive ego to the point of underestimating his opponents; for example, during his first attempt to conquer Wakanda, he underestimated the wakandans' capabilities to the point that the Chitauri army were defeated by the wakandans.

Limited Healing Factor: Despite Kleiser's accelerated healing factor, he did have his limits; for example, he was unable to regenerate after being drowned in liquid Vibranium by both Captain America and Black Panther respectively.
