I think we can conclude that Silver Age Baron Zemo had a convoluted and baffling history.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-44901377707846379012016-07-09T05:59:11.522+01:002016-07-09T05:59:11.522+01:00I believe the "new" Baron Zemo (if the w...I believe the "new" Baron Zemo (if the word "new" can apply here) was in fact the son of the original, who like his father was loyal to Nazi ideals, and also, like his father, disfigured his own face. The original Zemo got his mask super-glued to his face after exposure to Adhesive-X, the Nazi's secret super-weapon. I have no idea how glue could have changed the course of the war at that point.<br />Junior, calling himself the "Phoenix," got disfigured when he tumbled into a vat of acid, which happens a lot in comics, but thankfully, rarely in real life.<br />M.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-82701196967701584402016-07-08T13:32:37.947+01:002016-07-08T13:32:37.947+01:00That's a terrific Avengers cover - I had that ...That's a terrific Avengers cover - I had that issue.

Pretty gutsy of him. I read the middle part of this story in colour circa 72.

Or perhaps he was already an agent of Hydra and pretending to kill Zemo! ( ok I won't bring that up again )Philnoreply@blogger.com
