The era of American comics begins

Chapter 196 The Baron's Bitter History

Baron Zemo threw his head back in silence.His purple mask fit tightly against his face, almost as if it had become his skin.A pair of eyes exposed on the mask showed a fierce light that seemed to be eating people, and there was a heavy breath under the mask.

Zemo hasn't taken off this mask from his face for decades. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that this mask has basically become his face, and there is no way to take it off.As for why he ended up like this, we have to talk about a series of stories he had to tell with his old enemy Captain America.

Baron Heinrich Zemo joined the Nazis in their early days and was one of the top scientists of the time.With his extraordinary ability and courage, he was promoted rapidly, and soon became a popular man around Hitler.During the war, he successively developed a large number of advanced weapons and auxiliary products for the Nazis, making great contributions.For similar reasons, the scale of his subordinates is also growing, almost threatening the status of the Red Skull, who is known as the founder of Hydra.

Originally, Zemo was going smoothly, and everything was going very well, until his old enemy Captain America appeared.

At that time Zemo was developing a chemical called "Adhesive X", which even today is the best and most powerful adhesive ever made (although I don't know what Hitler wanted the adhesive for in the war).That's when Captain America broke into Zemo's base.They had a conflict, a big battle, Zemo was empowered by Adhesive X during the battle, he was completely disfigured, Adhesive X glued the mask to his face, and decades after that It can no longer be taken down.

From then on, Baron Zemo took it as a great shame and shame.The Roaring Commando repeatedly blocked his team's actions and sabotaged his plan, which he endured; Captain America destroyed his stronghold every three days and captured his confidants, which he also endured.But to ruin his face, so that he can only show others with a mask in this life, this is intolerable!

That's why Zemo wanted to take revenge on Captain America, wishing he could even dream of Captain America's thousand ways to die.Originally, after the defeat of the Nazis in World War II, Zemo had disappeared, and it was decided that there would be no more disputes after washing his hands.He found a way to delay aging, and despite the defeat, he still has inexhaustible wealth and resources, enough for him to live for the rest of his life.He clearly knew that a large number of Hydra brothers had gone underground, lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D. and waiting for a comeback, but since the only old enemy he wanted to revenge, Captain America, was dead (at least it seemed so at the time), he didn't Lost the energy and ambition of the year, so he did not participate in the affairs of Hydra.

But what he never expected was that, after decades of waiting, in modern times, he was thinking about it day and night. Oh no, the hated Captain America is back!When he saw the news that Captain America had been unfrozen in the news, he almost jumped up excitedly, and his ambition back then seemed to come back along with his hatred of Captain America.So he began to re-plan to take back the Hydra organization from a group of "younger juniors", and after he regained power, he would seek revenge from the captain, and maybe he could conquer the world again by the way.
But before he could do anything, a guy named "Black Knight" suddenly jumped in.Zemo has been preparing for several years, accumulating strength and preparing to regain the control of Hydra little by little, but what he didn't expect was that in the blink of an eye, the "Black Knight" took down the entire Hydra with lightning force. The Hydra didn't even leave him any leftovers.

So his plan had to be changed again.He saw his old enemy Captain America find a group of extraordinary teammates in modern times, known as some kind of "Avengers", which gave him an idea.He felt that he could also summon a few villains with extraordinary abilities to form an invincible team. With the help of this team, he could defeat the Black Knight, regain the Hydra, and avenge the captain.

And now, his series of "careful arrangements" led him to the present step, kneeling on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, unable to do anything except glaring at the black knight.

"Let's start with this small group you formed." Michael squatted down in front of Zemo and moved closer to him.

"You're well-prepared. Gamma monsters, super-powered mercenaries, augmented humans. Recruiting Arthur Banks is indeed a smart move. His laser manipulation and form-changing tricks are really useful. Maybe you There might have been a chance.”

He paused.

"But what I care about is how you recruit the witches of Asgard." He said, "I wonder what conditions you can offer her to make a conceited and arrogant Wizards would condescend to join your ranks."

Zemo glared: "We have the same purpose."

"Conquer the world? I'm afraid the earth is not so attractive to her."

Michael weighed the scepter handed over from him in his hand.

"Do you know what this is?"

Zemo snorted, but didn't answer.

Michael didn't mind either.He stood up, turned the scepter around in his hand, and then suddenly swung it forcefully. Both arm armors output power at the same time, and with a sharp and crisp sound, the scepter was split into two pieces from the center.A blue light spewed out of the scepter like smoke, and the faint blue light at the tip of the scepter went out immediately, like a glowing toy with a dead battery.

Hidden in Loki's scepter is the Mind Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones. It has endless energy, so it is impossible to be extinguished so easily.

So that means the scepter is a fake.

Baron Zemo was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "What?"

"So it looks like you really don't know." Michael said flatly, "You've been tricked by the witch. She doesn't obey you at all, Zemo, and someone else is behind her. And the only value you have to her is It’s nothing more than a scepter. But it seems that you are not a very good leader, and you didn’t even realize when this thing was dropped by her.”

Thinking about it this way, Zemo seems really miserable.It's hard for him to spend so much effort to assemble such a team, but the team members are more and more unreliable.First of all, imitate the master and charge some money to be a second-five kid. The witches don’t just use the pictures, the only contribution they made is to get them an insider like venom, and then the soul-destroying The ghost is even weaker. Before the fight started, he was poisoned by the venom. During the decisive battle, he lay on the ground and paddled with his corpse.
As a team leader, it seems that the worst is probably nothing more than that.

"Amora" Zemo gritted his teeth, "I'm going to kill her, before that, I'm going to make her life worse than death."

"Let's worry about that part, you may not have a chance."

Michael casually threw the two broken scepters on the ground, and stepped back.Zemo obviously didn't have the intel he needed here.

"Venom." He waved his hand aside, "He's yours now."

Venom looked happy, he stuck out his long tongue, showing a mouthful of sharp and thin neat teeth.

"Finally," he said with a smirk, "we can serve dinner."

"No, no no!!!!"

Zemo yelled loudly, and the echo echoed violently in the hall until it finally stopped abruptly.
