The Origins of Marvel's Arnim Zola and the Hate-Monger

[@CHARLESJOHNSON-gv7zy]

NOBODY CONNECTS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE TOGETHER LIKE MERRY MARVELITE .. WHICH IS WHY THIS CHANNEL IS 'EXCELSIOR' ..

[@Insane-Howl-Cowl]

I know Red Skull is the main villain for Captain America, but I think Baron Zemo will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@starkraven630]

Mad scientists on the channel are always fun like Mr Sinister, The Leader, Doctor Doom, etc. One day I hope to see The Mad Thinker, The Jackal, and Egghead

[@matthewschwartz6607]

I was going to ask for the Thinker and Jackal. Maybe even The Wizard

[@DefinitelyNotBender]

Doom isn't mad, he's a genius. Genius just looks like insanity to normal people.

[@williambain2646]

@@DefinitelyNotBendergenius is just the flip side of insanity

[@jamilfrost6217]

The Hate Monger gains more relevance overtime i seem to notice.

[@plasticweapon]

but do you know why?

[@ChristopherPolack]

I enjoyed Captain America’s run against the villains, the Serpent Society and his relationship with Diamondback.

[@phillipwalters7702]

Hello there Merry Marvelite. Just wanted to say thank you for this great new video. The information was top notch and very helpful with understanding more about this character.

[@TopherHeYump]

Yess before bed content!!

[@Supremmo]

Hate Monger would definitely fit in modern times.

[@xxcagedriotxx]

Fit in? More like running the country, unfortunately.

[@Supremmo]

@ Sad but true

[@dudepool7530]

Hey, lookie. A couple of people who let celebrities do their thinking. Ever notice how all of Kamalas celebrities endorsements, are the same people who used to brag about going to Diddys parties? Wonder why that is? Hmmmm

[@matthewschwartz6607]

I was going to ask, but is he the real Hitler? Or a clone? He’s always been kind of confusing to me . Aren’t there more of him, too?

[@Supremmo]

@ Supposedly but I doubt nothing else will come of it with the current regime at Marvel. It’s been awhile since they did any Nazi stories.

[@Dogapillar4Lyfe]

I know of Zola but I didn't know Zola, thanks for this

[@vincentfranklin17]

Arnim Zola.. a truly mad scientist!

[@siner2442]

Mad? He pretty much does what all scientists in Government facility’s try to accomplish… are they mad or evil? 👹🙃

[@brianjohnson1867]

I want to say thank you for this video. U learned something new about Zola and his connection to Deviant science and technology. Thanks for the great content that you provide.

[@NintendoPrincess1012]

In this very crazy world, thank you for another great video. The detail and quality in these videos are always fantastic and it’s a fun to look forward to what you cover next.

[@amanzeihedioha]

Crossbones, just a genuine piece of crap that hasn't suffered a ridiculous "redemption" nonsense that Marvel likes to do and Doctor Faustus, Brubaker wrote him perfectly for modern comics.

[@alfredMonty]

There are so many great Captain America enemies. Red Skull, Crossbones, Baron Zemo, Zola, Batroc, Taskmaster! But Captain America's ultimate enemy as we all know is Rob Liefeld.

[@robertfalcone3025]

I was never a fan of Armin Zola..i just thought he just looked too ridiculous.. but Marvel Legends recently released an Armin Zola Baron Zemo 2 Pack that im planning on picking up.. pretty much BECAUSE it looks kinda ridiculous..& the OG Baron Zemo has a great head sculpt. Anyways great video brother.. looking forward to more of your Marvel Comics compilations 👑

[@amanzeihedioha]

Ah, the inspiration of Shou Tucker!!

[@BrianDrake-u2h]

Baron Blood! Loves me a good vampire!

[@johnpittsii7524]

Thanks for the video

[@trembledust6819]

Probably a pretty popular choice but Red Skull @ fav Cap villain. Thanks for vid. Keep em coming.

[@alanblanks]

This is an excellent video as always... Zola is always wild and weird. Nick Fury vs. SHIELD is a fun ride too. Agents of SHIELD did some of the LMD arc pretty well too. Appreciate your videos!

[@blankkosocal5030]

MM once again! You already know, great analysis

[@anonimatus007]

My fav Cap villain is Zola! so I was very happy with this video thank you very much! I know he is not the best as SKully or cool as Zemo, but I've always liked Zola's design

[@VillainBoss24]

Well this may be timely

[@mikeddh2018]

Unintentional double entendre?

[@michaelhughes8057]

My favorite Captain America Villain is the Red Skull, with Baron Zemo running a close second.

[@Emily-Whitfield]

One of my favorite Marvel villains.

[@ryanthornton2438]

Great video, as always MM. To answer your question, it would be a tie between Zemo & Strucker. They are both earlier and deadly villians of Captain America and many others due to their actions having far longer and lethal lasting effects on their Earth's (examples: Hydra,Shield, AIM,and other numerous villains that spun off from them). Red Skull later became the go-to villain for CA because later writers in most later people's minds (numerous movies and other Marvel superheroes TV shows). I gotta admit that when Red Skull used Professor X's brain to instill hate, I was a bit disappointed that they didn't use/reference Hatemonger more, considering that was more of his thing. Lastly, another possible reason why RS is more popular now dwells on the story that CA literally writes his own stories and could be mocking/ downgrading the others by making RS seem more as a threat (If only Stan Lee could have appeared as older CA in the Avenger's movie, it could have hinted more that his cameos in the other movies were CA maintaining the time-line and not being interfered by the "time police" from the Loki series).

[@dougtheheavy]

While more often an antagonist and a straight-up villain, My favorite is John Walker. He gives Cap The opportunity to shine bright, not against evil, but against someone who is already trying their best. The chance to point out the folly in many well-intended actions.

[@jefflambert7263]

Great video

[@teh1archon]

This episode was bonkers as well. I always thought he was just some goofy version of Nazi M.O.D.O.k but now I know better. Great video 👍🏻

[@Drakeo83]

Crossbones has always been one of my favorite cap villains and Batroc

[@DefinitelyNotBender]

EXCELSIOR!!!

[@RingsideRebel785]

I had a copy of that Super Villain Team-Up #7 I think it was? A weird but cool issue. Red Skull, Hate-Monger, and Zola.

[@matthewschwartz6607]

Can you do one on Strucker? He seems to get retconned all the time . Also, one on Blackheart and The Silver Sable. I LOOOOVE your channel!

[@scalpod]

My favorite Captain America villain has got to be apathy, which allowed his former enemies to seemingly gain the upper hand and put us all on the precipice of peril, for Stan's sake!

[@scotttrammell3913]

My favorite Captain America Villains are The Red Skull, Baron Helmut Zemo, and William Burnside the Captain America of the 1950's.

[@christopherulichney]

I think I prefer Crossbones as my favorite Captain America villain. I'm surprised how many times you said Nazi without getting demonetized. I think a video on the COSMIC CUBES would be an awesome idea. It could go into their evolved forms and Jim Starlin's attempt to rename them Cosmic Containment Units. As always MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!

[@Dahaka-rd6tw]

Have you made a video on these "Deadly foes of Spider-Man"? Vermin Red Vulture Shathra

[@seanwelch71]

Red Skull and Zola are my faves. MODOK a close third.

[@alexnejako777]

my fave marvel villain in the MCU is Arnim stuck in a bunch of really old computers in a warehouse in Captain America Winter Soldier. that movie doesn't have a villain problem

[@terrygreenwell6486]

Proctorcide is my favorite Captain America villain.

[@drewwilson9149]

Red Skull but there’s so many great ones

[@NegaHumanX]

Batroc the Leaper is probably my favourite Cap villain.

[@arkinyte13]

Zola creating monsters makes him unique, otherwise most heroes could beat his ass.

[@Oree_Nabisko]

My favorite Cap. villain is actually Vermin. Even though some would argue he’s not a Cap. villain. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@marciawilliams2499]

the modok squad from the captain america winter soldier run

[@PolRaDaemon]

OH MY GODS PLEASE do an Inhuman society/culture/history deepdive🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@tsincols]

I liked the Serpent Squad/Serpent Society.

[@bernardfrazier7377]

Scourge is my favorite Captain America villain.

[@michaelhughes8057]

Armin Zola although I like him and he's a good villain for Captain America, The Avengers, etc., he always reminded. Me of a walking tv set, with arms and legs!😂

[@jerfuhrer2581]

I had no idea Hate Monger lasted as long as he did

[@Ashguy733]

I love how Nazi Villains in Marvel are equal parts ridiculous and unthreatening. Just as it should be 😂.

[@jimbodeek]

Because they’re small fish in a universe of magic, mutants, aliens, gods, monsters, and extradimensional beings

[@sepewrath]

Well you don’t want to make Nazi’s seem cool. Already too many idiots that think that here. Hell one of them became president.

[@mmmguannaaa6657]

I agree unlike they are as president of the United States

[@mediabaron2416]

Arnim Zola might be one of the best examples. Yeah, he's a horrific amoral scientist. But he also looks like a robot Teletubby.

[@brutallyhonest123]

​@mmmguannaaa6657 dems are the ones attacking Israel, you parrot

[@nooctip]

I don't know that I'd say favorite. But seeing as he dosen't get enough respect I'm gonna say Batroc.

[@michaeljdeneen2725]

Red Skull, IMO no villain comes closer to being Cap’s greatest villain!

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

My favorite captain America villain has to be frozen ice

[@redknight808]

Red Skull. :)

[@thomassheehan9046]

Baron zemo/ heinrich zemo

[@MistahBryan]

This is one I've NEVER heard of.

[@TheFlamingDoh2]

Really? He’s in the Winter Soldier movie.

[@MistahBryan]

@@TheFlamingDoh2 Yeah, I missed that one. Also missed the second Wakanda. Eternals-missed every Disney plus series-Missed. Hell, I've never seen ONE Godfather or Caddyshack movie.

[@mikeddh2018]

​@@MistahBryan when you get a chance watch Captain America: Winter Soldier. It's arguably the best MCU movie of em all.

[@TheFlamingDoh2]

@@MistahBryan If you watch one Caddyshack movie, make it Caddyshack 1.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of the Beyonder, Crossfire, Living Laser, Iron Monger, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Whiplash, Ultimo, Darkhawk, Reptil, Kid-Kaiju, Union Jack, Psycho-Man, the Badoon and the Broods?

[@IShowJit]

I read on the marvel wiki that Taskmaster got some hitler particles when he went on a secret mission when he was a shield agent that involved a Hate-Monger plot

[@Supremmo]

I would like to see a video on Madcap or Scourge of The Underworld.

[@trexadvent4726]

Is Arnim-Zola similar to Modok with how he transferred his consciousness into a machine? Who do you think would win between them?

[@18t32]

Personally I'd probably say MODOK as I think he has more high-tech and abilities

[@Mutant1808]

@@18t32agreed after all, he was designed only to kill

[@impureneighbour9792]

Wonder what would happen if Zola and Mister Sinister, High Evolutionary, or Jackel started cooking all together? A recipe for disaster, that’s for sure.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of the A-Force, U-Foes, Excalibur team, the Ultimates team, Serpent Society, Fraternity of Raptors, the Annihilators, the Invaders, the Squadron Supreme, Doom Maidens, the Midnight_Sons, Young Avengers, Dark Avengers, Masters of Evil, the Thunderbolts and the Champions?

[@quentinfogger5755]

What type of agent of Hydra was Arnim-Zola compared to Red Skull and Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker? How powerful would he be if he was leading Hydra?

[@impureneighbour9792]

I always thought that thing Zola has for a head was a video camera. 🤔

[@quentinfogger5755]

Which movie or TV Show do you think did a great job in portraying Arnim-Zola? Do you think we should have seen more of him in the MCU in his TV robot body if he wasn't killed off in Captain America the winter soldier while he got more screen time in the What_If Disney Plus show?

[@trexadvent4726]

What's up Primus with how he helped Arnim-Zola and became sentient being and is capable of shape-shifting into anyone or anything?

[@DaleRibbons]

My favorite Captain America villain: Nightshade.

[@trexadvent4726]

Are you going to do history of Ironheart, M'Baku, Namora, Attuma and Shuri as the Black Panther since they played a major role in the Black Panther Wakanda Forever movie?

[@mediabaron2416]

Baron Helmut Zemo is probably my favourite. Specifically post Thunderbolts era Zemo where it felt like he gained a lot more depth. True, he was really more an anti-hero than a villain during a lot of that time. But you get the sense that, for all his developments, he never quite loses those more inherent villainous tendencies. Like, yes it is good he has come to consider his father and his ways foolish. But that he only did so because the Nazi ideology "limited his potential" when it came to taking over the world is probably not the best way to come to that realisation.

[@djashovel]

Have you done a video on psycho man ( He's the Villain that kind of Made susan storm Have a split evil personality and Have the most revealing costume she's ever had 😂 the 80s So weird time For comics )

[@trexadvent4726]

Since you did the History of the Mandarin and Fin_Fang_Foom, Can you do history of Ultimo as well as the Shang-Chi villain known as the Death_Dealer?
