Editing Greatest Avenger Villains 1888 (section)

==Baron Zemo II==
:  Helmut Zemo
:: Founded fourth Masters of Evil: Avengers 270-273
:: Baron Helmut Zemo is the son of the late Baron Heinrich Zemo, whose hatred of Captain America and the Avengers lives on in Helmut. The current Baron Zemo has used his father's inventions, his own scientific skills and his considerable strategic talents to become a major criminal mastermind in his own right. He assembled his own incarnation of the Masters of Evil, the fourth and largest to date, and led them in occupying Avengers Mansion and torturing its occupants; Zemo's victory proved short-lived, though, when the Avengers routed his forces and Zemo himself suffered near-fatal injuries.
:: More recently, Zemo had begun to reassemble his Masters when news broke of the Avengers' seeming death in battle with Onslaught. Devoid of purpose with the loss of his greatest foes, Zemo hit upon the idea of leading his Masters in masquerading as a new heroic super-team to replace the Avengers, accumulating public trust and resources until they were ready to strike. Zemo and his Masters successfully posed as the heroic Thunderbolts for months until Zemo was ready to credibly attempt world conquest using a mind control device, after which he swiftly set about subjugating the planet. Most of the Thunderbolts had grown to like their roles as heroes, though, so they turned against Zemo and foiled his plot, despite his use of the Avengers as mind-controlled pawns. Zemo escaped, however, and is doubtless plotting his revenge on both the Thunderbolts and the Avengers.
