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.

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.

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

It's been a while, and I think I might be getting this from, like, an audio adaptation, but didn't he tap Talia al Ghul to run it for him while he was president? And then it turned out that she'd stole everything out from under him?

He did, and she did.
Can't remember why, but I think it had something to do with him going after Bruce Wayne that one time.

"No one gets to fuck Bruce Wayne but me"

"Do you mean that metaphorically or literally"

"Yes"

[windleopard2]

"Freaking smartass".

Yes, the whole framing Bruce Wayne for murder thing.

I think he originally left it to Lana Lang, but she made the mistake of aiding Superman in some small capacity. Immediately the computer fired her and told her to leave the building or be shot.
