Count Marzo is the name of a character from the Masters of the Universe franchise.

1980s series
In the 1980s cartoon, he is a sorcerer who reverts Teela's childhood friend David into a child after wiping his memory. He has a Frankenstein-like sidekick called Chimera. He-Man eventually defeats them.

He later returns to trick Jahno into giving him the Eternian Flower which he uses to turn Jahno's friends against him and to gather an army of Eternia's youths. Later on, he unleashes the Wolfbats on them. When that plan is foiled and the Wolfbats are defeated, he and Chimera flee back to their home planet of Eronia where they are apprehended by He-Man.

It is later revealed that Count Marzo rescued Mekaneck's son Philip in a forest during a storm. Mekaneck had to lead King Randor and Queen Marlena to an oasis where Count Marzo captures them. He-Man defeats them and Count Marzo and Chimera get away.

Trivia
Marzo was a character created for Filmation's cartoon series and was not based on a toy concept. However, the 200x version from the Mike Young Productions cartoon did receive an action figure in the Masters of the Unvierse Classics toyline.
