There was a time in the early 90s that Quasar fought to contain Count Nefaria... Well a guy with the Counts powerset, and he was unable to do more than be dragged along while holding the fake Nefaria in an energy bubble. He was nearly knocked out while just hanging on. I don't have scans, but it happened.
Don't think that was Count Nefaria. I think that was during a Captain America or Avengers comic. Unless we're talking about a different guy, it was the original Moonstone who lost his powers and then managed to undergo a similar process to Count Nefaria's. Had a very similar powerset, tho.
Thing was, in that issue, Quasar was being very cocky and wasn't treating the guy seriously. He got surprised and got KTFO when he allowed himself to go too near to the guy while monologing.
Looked it up, he calls himself Nefarius now, tho. Hehe.
