Baron Zemo

Few villains cast as long a shadow in Marvel's world as Baron Zemo, and this German-market edition — published by Hachette and debuting in Marvel Special #1 in 1997 — brings that legacy to a new audience across an impressive stretch running all the way to 2024. Crafted by Mark Waid, Reinhard Schweizer, and Ron Garney, this version of the character keeps electrifying company: the pages crackle with the presence of Captain America, Steve Rogers, Iron Man, Tony Stark, and even Heinrich Zemo himself. With appearances across Marvel Origins, Marvel Special, and Captain America, and at least one collector-recognized key issue to his name, Baron Zemo proves that some rivalries and legacies transcend any single era or edition — and this run is well worth tracking down for the dedicated Marvel enthusiast.
