He was created to explain where Cap was and what happened to Bucky. Introduced in Avengers #4 (1964) by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Heinrich Zemo was a Nazi Scientist that would battle Captain America and Bucky during WWII, as well as many other heroes like the Invaders and Howling Commandoes. He created many weapons for the Nazis including death rays. His most famous invention, Adhesive X, saw his mask glued to his face during a battle with Cap. He swore vengeance on Cap after this. During a mission from the Red Skull, Zemo went to sabotage a drone that the English were about to launch. Cap and Bucky tried to stop him but when they tried to stop the drone by jumping on the drone, Cap was thrown off the drone while it was believed that Bucky was killed in the incident. Zemo would travel to South America to hide out after the war.

He would later reappeared after Captain America was found frozen and revived by the Avengers. Wanting revenge against Cap, Zemo gathered villains and formed the first Masters of Evil and fought against the Avengers. They were defeated but would return a number of time to fight the Avengers. This included giving Simon Williams his powers as Wonder Man. After a while and while the Masters fought the Avengers, Zemo kidnapped Rick Jones and took him to South America in order to lure Cap. The two would fight but Zemo would be killed in an avalanche caused by his death ray. While he would be part of the Legion of the Unliving, he has stayed dead since, with his son Helmut continuing his work.

While many people are more familiar with Helmut Zemo, Heinrich Zemo has actually being part of the original Cap cartoon and was the Zemo in the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes cartoon. He would receive a figure as part of the Mojo series from Toybiz. 

WWII

Recommend Figure: Toybiz Marvel Legends Mojo Series Baron Zemo

• Background:
  • While he would wear a cloth mask through most of WWII, it was in the later part of the war that Zemo would have the mask glue to his face. After inventing the Adhesive X formula, an adhesive that would be impossible to unglue, He would clash with Cap. After dodging Cap’s shield, the shield would hit and break the canister containing the glue. This would fall on Zemo, not only gluing the mask to his face but also horribly scaring him. This is considered Zemo classic version and, like I always say, it has been drawn differently by different artists.
•  Why you need it for your collection?:
  • While he hasn’t really been in the comics since his death, this is a figure I would recommend getting for your Cap’s and Avengers’ villains collection, particularly if you want to build the original Masters of Evils. 
• Does it need a remake?:
  • Yes. The figure we have is fine but it is showing it’s age.
