Daniel Brühl portrays the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe,^[1] appearing in the film Captain America: Civil War (2016)^[2] and the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021).^[3] In 2009, Helmut Zemo was ranked as IGN's 40th Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time.^[4]

Fictional character biography[edit]

In the comics, Helmut Zemo (aka the 13th Baron Zemo) is Heinrich Zemo's son, born in Leipzig, Germany. Helmut was originally an engineer until he became enraged when reading a report about the return of Captain America and his father's death. Helmut would ultimately follow in his father's footsteps, using his family's money and his own scientific know-how đồ sộ recreate his father's work.

Helmut first surfaced under the alias of the Phoenix, and captured Captain America đồ sộ get revenge upon him for the death of his father. He was presumed deceased when he fell into a vat of boiling, specially-treated Adhesive X (a chemical created by his father Heinrich, which was a universal adhesive and was practically indissolvable^[5]). In a battle with Captain America, spilt Adhesive X permanently attached Heinrich's hood đồ sộ his face, preventing him from ever removing it;^[6] in a dramatic echo, Helmut's face was hideously scarred by the boiling Adhesive X, giving his face the appearance of molten wax.^[7]

He resurfaced years later in the comics as Baron Zemo, first allied with Arnim Zola's mutates. He allied with Primus I and the half-rat/half human mutate Vermin, and kidnapped Captain America's childhood friend Arnie Roth in order đồ sộ lure Captain America into a trap. He forced the Captain đồ sộ battle hordes of mutates before revealing that he knew Captain America's secret identity.^[8]

Zemo later encountered Mother Superior and the Red Skull.^[9] Zemo underwent tutelage by Mother Superior and Red Skull, and then kidnapped Captain America's friend David Cox and brainwashed him đồ sộ battle Captain America.^[10] Zemo then kidnapped Roth again, and directed a shared mental reenactment of Heinrich Zemo's last World War II encounter with Captain America.^[11] Zemo then battled Mother Superior, but was psychically overpowered.^[12]

Most notably, he formed a new incarnation of the Masters of Evil. This fourth Masters of Evil was formed đồ sộ strike at Captain America through the Avengers; they invaded and occupied Avengers Mansion and crippled Hercules and the Avengers' butler Edwin Jarvis. Zemo captured Captain America and the Black Knight. Zemo battled Captain America, but fell off the mansion roof.^[13]

Zemo later hired Batroc's Brigade and psychic detective Tristram Micawber đồ sộ help him locate the five fragments of the Bloodstone in hopes of restoring his father đồ sộ life. Fighting Captain America and Diamondback, Zemo's plan backfired, as he instead turned his father's corpse into a vessel for the demonic forces that lurk inside of the Bloodstone. The reanimated corpse was destroyed by Crossbones (who sought đồ sộ steal the Bloodstone for Red Skull) and a distraught Zemo fell down an inactive volcano in nhật bản trying đồ sộ retrieve it.^[14]

Zemo survived the fall, though his right hand (which was not protected by a glove) was horrifically burnt and mangled. Driven insane by the destruction of his father's body toàn thân, Helmut took control of an army of mutates and tried đồ sộ re-enslave Vermin. He was defeated by Spider-Man and Vermin was freed.

Broken and beaten, Zemo was taken in by a female scientist calling herself "the Baroness", who modeled herself after Heinrich. The two married and began kidnapping abused, neglected children đồ sộ serve as their children. Zemo's sanity returned and he even created a new realistic face mask đồ sộ hide his disfigured face from his adopted children, whom he nurtured and swore đồ sộ protect from those who might return them đồ sộ their abusive foster homes. The couple's peaceful life was ultimately shattered when Captain America discovered their trang chủ, while searching for the evil super-scientist Superia. Superia and the Baroness (who revealed that she had pretended đồ sộ be Heinrich Zemo reborn in a clone body toàn thân during a fight with Silver Sable and Spider-Man) mocked Helmut and his newfound domestic househusband status as they plotted đồ sộ kill him. Zemo turned on his wife and Superia, before turning his attention đồ sộ dropping Captain America into a vat of Adhesive X. The plan failed and Zemo (now wearing his trademark hood) fell into the container instead, with the Baroness (hoping đồ sộ curry favor with her husband), falling in after him. The two were rescued by Captain America and Helmut bemoaned that lượt thích his father, his face now was permanently hidden by his mask. Captain America responded by revealing that the Avengers had since found a way đồ sộ dissolve Adhesive X and would use it đồ sộ không lấy phí Zemo from his costume and hood, a fact that drove him further into a rage due đồ sộ Captain America never offering đồ sộ share this adhesive remover with his father.

Zemo ultimately escaped prison, though his wife the Baroness died shortly after being sentenced đồ sộ prison for her role in the abduction of the children they were raising. During this time, Zemo discovered that Goliath was imprisoned in the Microverse and formed a new version of Masters of Evil đồ sộ không lấy phí Goliath. But after rescuing Goliath, the Avengers and the Fantastic Four disappeared during the Onslaught crisis and were presumed dead. After overhearing the Beetle (Abe Jenkins) and Goliath talk about who would replace the Avengers and The Fantastic Four, a distraught Zemo soon found a new purpose for his team: the Masters of Evil would take on new heroic identities as the Thunderbolts.^[15] Zemo would lead the group under the alias Citizen V (a twist of irony as Heinrich Zemo had killed the original Citizen V during World War II) and planned đồ sộ have the Thunderbolts gain the world's trust in order đồ sộ conquer it.^[16] The public took a liking đồ sộ the team much more quickly than thở Zemo, or any of the other Thunderbolts, expected and soon most of them came đồ sộ lượt thích the feeling of being heroes.

When the missing heroes returned, Zemo had the Thunderbolts' true identities leaked, forcing them đồ sộ flee with him into deep space đồ sộ assist his plan đồ sộ conquer the world through mind control.^[17] However, most of the Thunderbolts rebelled and with the assistance of Iron Man foiled Zemo's plan.^[18] Zemo went into hiding and plotted revenge on his former teammates (who were trying đồ sộ win back the public's trust by being true heroes).^[19] After another of Zemo's plans was foiled by Captain America and a new Citizen V (Dallas Riordan),^[20] Helmut was killed by the new Scourge of the Underworld,^[21] though his mind was transferred via bio-modem technology into the comatose body toàn thân of John Watkins III.^{[volume & issue needed]} Now in possession of Watkins' body toàn thân, Zemo again played the Citizen V role, this time as a thành viên of the V-Battalion,^[22] until the Thunderbolts' final battle with Graviton, during which his consciousness was removed from Watkins' body toàn thân and transferred, in electronic sườn, into his ally Fixer's mechanical "tech-pack".^{[volume & issue needed]}

On the artificial world Counter-Earth - the same world đồ sộ which the Avengers and The Fantastic Four had previously vanished - the Thunderbolts encountered Zemo's counterpart, Iron Cross, in that world.^{[volume & issue needed]} Fixer transferred Zemo's mind into his double's unmutilated body toàn thân.^{[volume & issue needed]} Zemo then took up leadership of the Thunderbolts who were on Counter-Earth;^{[volume & issue needed]} when this group was reunited with their teammates who had remained on the normal Marvel Universe Earth,^{[volume & issue needed]} Hawkeye briefly resumed leadership,^{[volume & issue needed]} but then left the team đồ sộ return đồ sộ the Avengers.^{[volume & issue needed]}

For a while Zemo remained the leader of the Thunderbolts.^{[volume & issue needed]} In 2004's "Avengers/Thunderbolts" limited series, he attempted đồ sộ take over the world again — this time with the belief that he could save the world by taking it over.^{[volume & issue needed]} Zemo now seems đồ sộ be motivated by a twisted altruism rather than thở his original selfish desires; he feels he has grown beyond his father in that regard.^{[volume & issue needed]} However, the Avengers foiled his scheme, his teammate Moonstone went berserk, Zemo's new body toàn thân was blasted while he attempted đồ sộ protect Captain America, and he left the team and went into hiding after obtaining Moonstone's twin alien gems, two artifacts of great power.^{[volume & issue needed]}

Zemo had been manipulating the United States government, the New Thunderbolts, the Purple Man, the Squadron Sinister, and a host of other relatively obscure Marvel characters.^{[volume & issue needed]} His goals are unknown, but he is clearly still motivated by a desire đồ sộ save the world by taking it over, or at least manipulating it towards what he perceives as a beneficial future. Zemo has also, apparently through trial and error, learned how đồ sộ use the power of the moonstones in various ways, from simply generating raw energy, đồ sộ transporting himself and others through time, space, and dimensions, đồ sộ viewing possible future events through dimensional rifts—and, apparently, đồ sộ repair his damaged face (or, at least đồ sộ create the illusion that it was undamaged).^{[volume & issue needed]} He has also recruited members of both his original and subsequent incarnations of the Thunderbolts đồ sộ his cause, as well as eventually bringing the current team of Thunderbolts around đồ sộ joining him.^{[volume & issue needed]} The group resides in what Zemo calls his "Folding Castle", a structure that he has connected đồ sộ various other places around the world by dimensional portals.^{[volume & issue needed]}

As a result of The Civil War storyline, Iron Man asked Zemo đồ sộ begin recruiting villains đồ sộ his cause, which Zemo had already been doing, unknown đồ sộ Iron Man.^[23] However, he met up with Captain America and informed him that he really had reformed. He showed Captain America his face, once again scarred, đồ sộ remind him of his earlier sacrifice, and gave him a key that would allow him đồ sộ escape from the super-human prison being constructed if Captain America would allow his Thunderbolts đồ sộ fight the Squadron Sinister.^{[volume & issue needed]} He also gave Captain America all his old mementos, destroyed by Zemo in 'Avengers Under Siege', which he had gone back in time and rescued with the help of the Moonstones. Finally, Captain America agreed.^{[volume & issue needed]}

Zemo was always told as a child that he was superior, he now believes his father's Nazi ideals đồ sộ be untrue, and that the only way đồ sộ become superior is through righteousness. After helping Captain America, he remarked đồ sộ his father's portrait that the man would be displeased with today's good deeds. Zemo—once again wearing his unscarred face—then revealed that Songbird was going đồ sộ betray him and he was going đồ sộ sacrifice himself in their upcoming battle with the Squadron Sinister. He told her that he would not die, but that he would become superior through his sacrifice "by living forever".^{[volume & issue needed]}

Zemo revealed his true nature when he saved the Wellspring of Power from the Grandmaster planning đồ sộ use it for his own ends. Believing that all of his visions were subject đồ sộ the flow of time, and that nothing was mix in stone, Zemo defeated the Grandmaster, and boasted đồ sộ his teammates that the power was now all his—and theirs. He insisted that he would use it đồ sộ help the world, despite the consequences of doing ví. Songbird, having temporarily lost her own powers during the final battle, was told by Zemo "...now is when your betrayal would have come". However, the vision of Songbird's betrayal turned out đồ sộ be true after all. Using a simple opera note đồ sộ crack the moonstones, Songbird sent Zemo into a whirlwind of cosmic space/time. Just before he was completely sucked into the vacuum, he screamed out that he "would never have hurt a world he worked ví hard đồ sộ save".^{[volume & issue needed]}

Hilliard becomes baron after the death of his father Hartwig Zemo in the Seven Years' War.
