In Falcon & The Winter Soldier, however, Zemo tells Bucky and Sam " I spent years hunting people HYDRA recruited to recreate the serum." Based on existing MCU continuity, this period of Zemo's life could only have lasted 12 months at most. The Battle of Sokovia in Avengers: Age of Ultron is supposedly set in May 2015, and Zemo's revenge mission in Captain America: Civil War begins almost exactly a year later, with the Avengers' airport battle taking place in June 2016. Zemo also traveled to Siberia, where he found the remaining Winter Soldier test subjects and killed them, preventing any more pesky super soldiers causing chaos and misery for people like him. For this purpose, he pursued HYDRA, learned the secrets of the Winter Soldier program, and began manipulating Bucky to trigger the mother of all superhero spats.
As regaled by Captain America: Civil War, the Ultron incident set Zemo on the path to destroying the Avengers. When Ultron invaded Sokovia, Zemo sent his family to his father for safety - surely if they were this wealthy, they'd have some kind of shelter? Falcon & The Winter Soldier tacitly acknowledges the retcon, as Sam is vocally stunned to see the extent of Zemo's riches.Īs well as shifting Zemo from a humble father and soldier to a Baron who lived in luxury, Falcon & The Winter Soldier also changes his relationship with HYDRA. While upper classes in the military are nothing new, Zemo describes his family as "royalty," which contradicts his previous portrayal as a family-friendly intelligence officer. An aristocratic background was implied when the character first appeared, but Falcon & The Winter Soldier places tons more emphasis on the "Baron" title, with a fleet of classic cars, a private jet, and a butler as Zemo's disposal, even after years behind bars. The rough outline of this backstory is retained in Falcon & The Winter Soldier, but with major embellishments that don't necessarily tally with what the MCU revealed previously. This trauma sparked a deep, burning hatred of superheroes, and Zemo dedicated his life to destroying the Avengers. Although the Avengers eventually arrived to bring down Ultron, the ensuing battle decimated the country of Sokovia, and Zemo returned home to find his family crushed in the rubble. Zemo's Scorpion unit was deployed to fight Ultron when Tony Stark's renegade robot landed in Sokovia, but the military outfit were drastically outgunned. Daniel Brühl's iteration of Zemo begin as s a simple Sokovian intelligence officer and family man, loyal to his country without a shade of villainy in sight. For a modern day take on the comic character, Helmut Zemo was given an entirely fresh origin story when he debuted in 2016's Captain America: Civil War. Raised on Hitler's propaganda, Zemo is an antagonist to Captain America right from the off. The son of a chief Nazi scientist, Baron Helmut Zemo doesn't have the most wholesome start to life in the Marvel comic books.
