[b]Characters Abilities:[/b]
-[i]Anti-telepathic Headband[/i]- Much like Magneto's helmet, Zemo wears a headband, which belonged to his father, that shielded his mind from telepaths.

-[i]Compound X Formula[/i]- A serum developed by his father, this formula keeps the Virus X at by, preventing it from killing Zemo. The formula also prolongs Zemo's life, making him seem youthful, despite being a kid during the Second World War. This formula did not produce any other powers, unlike the super-soldier formula.

-[i]Virus X[/i]: A biological weapon that Zemo's father developed. Zemo was infected by this virus when an accident happened at his father's castle during a raid by Captain America. Only the Compound X Formula prevents the virus from killing Zemo.

[b]Characters Skills:[/b]
-[i]Mastermind[/i]: Zemo is the brains of the operation. Just like his father, Zemo has received the best available education. Therefore, he is able to organize other villains who would otherwise be easily defeated alone into a team capable of even taking on the Avengers.

-[i]Weapons Expert[/i]: Zemo is capable with any weapon in his disposal. However, his greatest strength is his swordsmanship. His skill with the sword allows Zemo to even hold his ground against superhumans, despite Zemo's lack of powers.

[b]Origin Story:[/b]
Helmut Zemo was the son of the 12th Baron Zemo, Heinrich, and his wife, Hilda in the 1930's. His father was an influential scientist in Germany and an early leader of the Nazi party. During the Second World War, his father was tasked with creating a secret weapon that could turn the tide for the Axis powers. And this research culminated in Virus X. This biological weapon was designed to effectively eliminate as many people as possible, whether civilian or soldier. By 1943, the Axis offensive had been stalled and desperate times call for desperate measures.

Rumor of this weapon reached the Allied Power's ears. And their only response was sending in the big guns: Captain America and the Howling Commandos. The Allied assault force invaded Castle Zemo in Zeulniz, Germany and a hard-fought battle ensued. However, Captain America and her allies eventually won the day and destroyed Zemo's secret weapon. But during the destruction, the Virus was spread through the castle, infecting everyone inside. Zemo's father gave his son the proto-type antidote for the Virus X, but there was only enough to save Helmut Zemo. As a result, no one else survived, including his father and mother.

With his father's death, Helmut Zemo became the 13th Baron Zemo. While the antidote, the Compound X formula, saved Zemo from certain death because of the virus created by his father, it also slowed his aging, too. Although eventually this meant that Zemo would still look young in the 21st century, it was at first a curse because Zemo continued to look like a teenager in his 20's and early 30's, making him not be taken seriously, especially at university.

The one thing that kept Zemo going was his hatred of Captain America and her allies. And he swore that he would take vengeance for the death of his father and mother. At first, he thought his opportunity was lost when Captain America seemed to have mysteriously disappeared in combat. But once she resurfaced in the 21st century, Zemo knew it was his time to avenger his parents.
