Replacing her father as the Eminent Thropp of Muchkinland, Nessarose ruled over her subjects as an "unelected official", where she began stripping them of their rights and freedoms in an effort to keep her unrequited love - Boq - with her. Among these rules, she put in place a complete ban on the Munchkin's abilities to leave her region. Her people soon turned against her, believing that she was just as "wicked" as her sister, the so-called Wicked Witch of the West that was flying around Oz fighting for the liberties of Animals and speaking out against the Wizard's rule.
In a fit of blind rage upon learning that Boq was in love with Glinda and was only in her service due to her being in a wheelchair, something he had been keeping from Nessa since he first invited her to the Shiz University Ball when they were younger, she attempted to use a spell from the Grimmerie to curse him. However, due to her mispronunciation of the magic words, the spell caused his heart to begin to shrink away into nothingness. Realising what she had done, she begged Elphaba to save him from death, mournfully calling herself the Wicked Witch of the East as she pleaded for him to forgive and stay with her. As Boq - now fully sealed within a suit of tin - ran screaming into the night, she blamed and cursed Elphaba that everything that had happened was her fault.
At the suggestion of Glinda, she was used as a pawn by Madame Morrible and the Wizard in their efforts to catch Elphaba, being crushed by a falling farmhouse that was carried across the sky by a twister. The only thing of hers to survive was her silver slippers, which had been recently enchanted by Elphaba to allow Nessa to walk. She died being despised by the people of Munckinland.
Her death dealt a massive blow to both Glinda and Elphaba, straining their friendship to the breaking point. Elphaba would go on to blame herself for this action, declaring that she would not use her magic for any "good deed" as nothing she seemed to do could save losing the people she cared the most for. This pushed her to further take on the moniker of the Wizard's bane: the Wicked Witch of the West.

Doc Dread - Doomsday Clock (2017)
The costumed alter-ego of Bobby Fradon, Doc Dread was a former "super-villain" that fought against Metamorpho using a range of chemical and biological weaponry. In reality, his persona was created by the Department of Metahuman Affairs, who paid him to play that role.
Dread was among three former" rogues"/agents of the Department that publically outed themselves as actors, whose actions were used by the American government to perfect their first lab-created metahuman hero Metamorpho, aka Rex Mason.
Furthermore, he had personal ties with Mason, having grown up together as childhood friends.
Bobby Fradon - Doomsday Clock (2017)
A childhood friend of Rex Mason, Bobby Fradon was hired by the Department of Metahuman Affairs to act as a "super-villain" for the American hero Metamorpho, joining Mason's rogues' gallery as "Doc Dread".
In November 2017, he would be one of three "former enemies" of Metamorpho to go on record with his ties to the DOMA.
"The Prosecutor" - Doomsday Clock (2017)
A meta-positive American citizen, "The Prosecutor" was among the numerous members of Metamorpho's inactive Rogues Gallery to publically go on record as being agents of the Department of Metahuman Affairs.
They were paid by the DOMA to undergo extreme physical trauma in an effort to trigger their metahuman abilities, as well as play the part of "super-villain" for fellow agent Rex Mason to fight.

Seymour David - Doomsday Clock (2017)
Former employee of New York's The New Frontiersman, Seymour David originally found Rorschach's journal sent to them by the masked vigilante before his confrontation with Adrian Veidt at Karnak, transcribing entries of the book in 1986 following The New York City Massacre.
However, shortly after the paper went in circulation, he was brutally beaten to death in his own home in what would be considered by N.Y.P.D and the courts as being a botched burglary attempt by a young thief Roger Jackson.
Yet the case was reopened after The Massacre began being investigated more closely, with FBI searching David's home for Rorschach's journal. Realising that it was missing, authorities concluded that the murder had in fact been premeditated by an unknown assailant wanting to reclaim the journal and ensure that entries about Rorschach's investigation into the death of Edward Morgan Blake remained unpublished.
The crime was reported by Doug Routh in the February edition of the Nova Express in 1987.
Roger Jackson - Doomsday Clock (2017)
A young thief from New York, Roger Jackson was believed to have murdered Seymour David during a "random" burglary that went wrong. With much evidence tying him to the case, he was tried and found guilty for the crime, sentenced to prison.
However, upon further investigation into the case and the realisation that the crime had not been accidental as it was first thought Jackson's guilt was called into question. With these new findings, his attorney and legal team have since begun filing for the verdict to be overturned by the judge on the grounds of this new evidence.
The incident was reported in the Nova Express by reporter Doug Roth.
