Captain America #433 sees Zemo continuing his unfortunate habit of falling off things

[iamrman]

Baroness Zemo is actually Heinrich Zemo reborn in to a female body. She claims that this was all part of a ruse, but I wouldn't put it past Helmut Zemo to marry his father in a female body.

"Gott in himmel!

What are the odds!

No really the odds against this happening to me so many times in a row must be ridiculous!"

Well RIP to Zemo and his wife

They died the way they lived

In a castle

[blues32]

If it was this easy for Heinrich to get a new body, he'd have done it ages ago when his hood was fused to his face.

[janegray]

The man seriously needs to invest in jetpacks.

[dan_ingram]

I don't imagine Zemo will do any better off flying at the ground at escape velocity

[iamrman]

Baron Zemo is blasting off agaaaaaiiinnn... *twinkle*

[thanekos]

Love to put superfluously verbose word/thought balloons in comics, stating things that the art already does/the reader could probably figure out on their own, like " You are my enemy and saving me, I am amazed and a bit shamed! ", " Holding my enemy up is significant exertion, but I will hold on! ", and " I have been shot in the arm - it made me let go of the guy I am holding! "

It's a miracle the third panel with Baroness Zemo doesn't have " I am shooting you, fiend - shooting you with my gun! "

[tinygaylaura]

"A gun full of bullets, bullets which kill!"

[scorntx]

I, uh, don't remember ever hearing about this one before.

But I can see why Helmut leaves it off the ol' resume.


... wait, hold on. He fell over a rail?
There was a RAIL?!
No wonder no-one bothers with the damn things.

[john_drake1964]

Baron Zemo must have been watching Space Mutiny then...all those railing kills.

[tinygaylaura]

Evil Zemo's out of luck

'Cause his henchmen really suck

They keep jumping off of railings

I think it might be suicide

[blues32]

Slab Bulkhead!

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Rails are for normal people with normal heights. Superheroes/villains are usually taller and have more weight above the railing, leaving them prone to flip-flopping over it when enough force is applied.

Also see: sending someone over the top rope in wrestling.

Came for Zemo falling of things, learned that he married his dad.

[dan_ingram]

His 'pretend to be his dad' wife.

Totally not creepy...

[scorntx]

Says something about pre-Thunderbolts Zemo that no-one here actually seems that surprised by this.

"He married his dad? ... yeah, that's Zemo, alright."

[phantomfo]

It's Zemo's fault for installing a designated "Vat Room" in his house.

[scorntx]

Must've been an interesting discussion with the architect.

"Oh, the wife wanted a rumpus room, but I think a Vat Room just adds more of a flow to a house, you know?"

[remial]

was this about the time Steve lost the Super Soldier Serum and ended up getting a new supply from the Red Skull, because Skull didn't want Cap to die a wimp in power armor?

[iamrman]

At the end of Gruenwald's run, yes. I believe the Red Skull gave Steve a blood transfusion. But yes, he saved Steve because he didn't want his nemesis to go out like a wimp,

[blues32]

I remember that. The "war on drugs" was on so they couldn't have Captain America getting his power from the super soldier serum, a drug. So they wrote a story where Cap was exposed to "ice" which somehow fused to his serum laced blood, keeping him permanently high. Had to give him a blood transfusion to get it out of his system.

That was also the time where Kingpin fought Red Skull and utterly wrecked him, literally falling on top of the crimson cranium crook.

[shakalooloo]

I presume the next page is a series of panels showing each of the children dropping in after their parents in an unrelenting tide while Steve watches on and weeps at the humanity.

[iamrman]

They weren't the Zemos' natural children. The Zemos had kidnapped them for nefarious purposes that weren't made entirely clear.

[tinygaylaura]

I needed a good laugh today, thank you for this

[zachbeacon]

Look, if given the choice between boots with good tread and boots with fur lining then you gotta go with style.

I'll admit I really enjoyed Thunderbolts-era Zemo but he's one of those antagonists that I've had to reevaluate in light of real world events. Some stuff that used to be over the top just isn't anymore and guys like Zemo and Doom come off a lot less like cartoon characters now.

Weirdly Lex Luther comes off better, though. At least he divested from his company when he became President.

[tinygaylaura]

He didn't tho, he just ran it in secret because back then it was assumed that you'd have to cover this sort of thing up

We now know that of course you don't have to

No one cares

No one really cares about anything

X Files summed the world up beautfully in The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat

We're living in a post conspiracy age

It's so PoCo
