Origin[]

The Black Axeman was a Nazi executioner who worked for the Super-Brain. When the alien scientist captured the Rangers of Freedom, he ordered Black Axeman to behead Ranger Girl. The Nazi executioner was stopped by Phineus B. Tutts, who distracted Super-Brain's henchmen and allowed Rangers of Freedom to spring into action and rescue their teammate.

Before he handed Ranger Girl over to Black Axeman, Super-Brain had his henchmen put her in a dress, because Black Axeman was "sensitive about such things." That line was never elaborated upon.
