Helmut Zemo
Helmut Zemo is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Roy Thomas, Jenny Blake Isabella and Sal Buscema, the character first appeared in Captain America #168 (December 1973). Helmut Zemo is the son of Baron Heinrich Zemo and the thirteenth Baron Zemo in his family lineage. He is a recurring adversary of the Avengers, especially the superhero Steve Rogers / Captain America. The character has also been known as Citizen V at various points in his history.
Daniel Brühl portrays the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, appearing in the film Captain America: Civil War (2016) and the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021).
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 to recreate his father's work.
Helmut first appears under the alias of the Phoenix, and captures Captain America to get revenge upon him for the death of his father. He is presumed dead after falling into a vat of Adhesive X, an adhesive created by Heinrich. Helmut's face is scarred by Adhesive X, giving his face the appearance of molten wax.
Zemo forms a new incarnation of the Masters of Evil formed to strike at Captain America through the Avengers. The group invades and occupies Avengers Mansion and crippled Hercules and the Avengers' butler Edwin Jarvis. Zemo captures Captain America and the Black Knight. Zemo battled Captain America, but fell off the mansion roof.
Zemo hires Batroc the Leaper's Brigade and psychic detective Tristram Micawber to help him locate the five fragments of the Bloodstone in hopes of restoring his father to life. Fighting Captain America and Diamondback, Zemo's plan backfires, 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 to steal the Bloodstone for Red Skull) and a distraught Zemo fell down an inactive volcano in Japan trying to retrieve it. Zemo survives the fall, though his right hand is severely burned.
Broken and beaten, Zemo is taken in by a scientist called the Baroness, who models herself after Heinrich. The two marry and began kidnapping abused, neglected children to serve as their children. Zemo's sanity returns and he creates a new mask to hide his disfigured face from his adopted children, whom he nurtures and swears to protect from being returned to their abusive foster homes. The couple's peaceful life is shattered when Captain America discovered their home, while searching for Superia. Zemo turns on the Baroness and Superia before turning his attention to dropping Captain America into a vat of Adhesive X. The plan fails and Zemo and the Baroness fall into the vat instead. The two were rescued by Captain America and Helmut bemoaned that like his father, his face now was permanently hidden by his mask. Captain America reveals that the Avengers had since found a way to dissolve Adhesive X and would use it on him.
Zemo ultimately escaped prison, though the Baroness dies shortly after being sentenced to prison for her role in the abduction of the children they were raising. During this time, Zemo discovers that Goliath is imprisoned in the Microverse and forms a new version of Masters of Evil to free Goliath. But after rescuing Goliath, the Avengers and the Fantastic Four disappeared during the Onslaught crisis and were presumed dead. After overhearing Beetle 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. Zemo would lead the group under the alias Citizen V and planned to have the Thunderbolts gain the world's trust in order to conquer it. The public took a liking to the team much more quickly than Zemo, or any of the other Thunderbolts, expected and soon most of them came to like the feeling of being heroes.
