The first Emissaries of Evil was recruited by [[Electro (Marvel Comics)|Electro]] in a plot of revenge against [[Daredevil (Marvel Comics)|Daredevil]] for previous defeats. This group consisted of [[Gladiator (Melvin Potter)|Gladiator]], [[Stilt-Man]], [[Leap-Frog (comics)|Leap-Frog]], and the [[Matador (Marvel Comics)|Matador]]. Electro established his headquarters in one of the city's power plants. Daredevil happened across Electro meeting with Matador and attacked them, but Electro waylaid him with an electric blast and Electro fled with Matador. Electro then instructed Gladiator, Stilt-Man, Leap-Frog, and Matador to wait in different parts of the city for Daredevil to show up. Later, as part of Electro's plan, the Matador followed Daredevil and ambushed him, but Daredevil easily overcame him. Then Daredevil over came Stilt-Man. Leap-Frog then attacked Daredevil in Centrap Park. Although the villains were defeated, they were able to return to Electro's hideout. When Daredevil arrived, the Emissaries of Evil; conducted one final mass-assault on Daredevil. Daredevil successfully defeated all of them and wrapped the whole group up in a lasso made from an electric wire so that they couldn't break free. Daredevil then left them for the cops.<ref>''Daredevil Annual'' #1</ref>

The second lineup was recruited by [[Egghead (comics)|Egghead]], and consisted of [[Rhino (comics)|Rhino]], [[Solarr]], [[Eel (comics)|Eel]] I, [[Porcupine (comics)|Porcupine]], [[Erik Josten|Power Man]] and [[Swordsman (comics)|Swordsman]] I. This team is never called the "Emissaries of Evil", but Egghead does refer to them as his "employed Emissaries". Egghead wanted to hold the United States hostage as the Emissaries of Evil gathered in Canada where Egghead built a nuclear device. The Emissaries of Evil commandeered the television airwaves as Egghead demanded that the President of the United States hand over his position to Egghead or he will launch the nuclear device to New York City. [[Guardian (Marvel Comics)|James Hudson]] and his team of Canadian adventurers called [[The Flight]] saw the broadcast and rushed into action to stop the Emissaries of Evil. Even with little training, The Flight quickly took out the Emissaries of Evil before turning their attention towards Egghead. Egghead refused to disable the nuclear device and Saint Elmo sacrificed his life to transmute it into energy.<ref>''Alpha Flight Special'' #1</ref>
Egghead equipped a NASA Space Station with an arsenal and reformed the Emissaries of Evil with Rhino, Solarr, and [[Cobalt Man]] (who Egghead brainwashed into destroying the [[Defenders (comics)|Defenders]]). Egghead then sent the Emissaries of Evil to attack the Defenders and obtain the Star of Capistan. Rhino and Solarr held their own against the Defenders and realized that they did not have the Star of Capistan. Upon returning to the space station, Rhino and Solarr were punished by Egghead who then sent Cobalt man to deal with the Defenders and use his nuclear arsenal so that Egghead can see the Defenders be destroyed.<ref>''Defenders'' #42</ref> Cobalt Man was freed from the brainwashing by [[Clea]] and [[Starlight (comics)|Red Guardian]]. Rhino and Solarr were defeated by [[Doctor Strange]] (who was possessed by the Star of Capistan's Red Rajah). Egghead attempted to take on the Defenders on his own, but Cobalt Man turned against him by turning his powers on Egghead where both of them were seemingly killed.<ref>''Defenders'' #43</ref>
