Heinrich Zemo (Heroes Reborn) (Earth-616)
From Marvel Database
History
When the Fantastic Four and the Avengers sacrificed their lives to destroy Onslaught, Franklin Richards, the son of the FF's Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman subconsciously created a pocket universe to save their lives. There they spent an entire year reliving living new lives "reborn" into a reality where they recently gained their abilities that vaguely mirror how they gained their powers originally.
In this new universe, Franklin created populated universe, including recreations of many of these heroes allies and foes. Among these creations was one based on Captain America's wartime foe Baron Zemo. Although this pocket universe was instantly created, it's inhabitants were given memories that "pre-date" the creation of this reality.
Not much is known about the past of Heinrich Zemo of this pocket universe, it is known that he was a Nazi operative during World War II and worked with the Red Skull and battled Captain America during the war. Sometime after the war ended, Zemo would sire a son Helmut.
In modern times, the Baron would join forces with AIM and M.O.D.O.K.. On an unspecified mission, Zemo, M.O.D.O.K. and an army of AIM soldiers would attack the SHIELD Helicarrier, only to be met with opposition from Captain America, his new partner Bucky and Nick Fury (Really a LMD posing as Fury), Cable (who was briefly and accidentally transported to Franklin Richard's pocket dimension from Earth-616.) Following this defeat Zemo would disappear for quite some time.
In his absence, Franklin Richards would visit this pocket dimension and help the heroes he had put there return to their native Earth-616. Shortly thereafter the planet would be pitched into total chaos by The Dreaming Celestial which would partially become stabilized by a returning Dr. Doom and this Earth would be transported to the opposite side of the sun from the Earth in reality-616 and be rechristened Counter-Earth.
With the world in chaos, Zemo would gather a group of mercenaries that he would dub The Thunderbolts. Much like their Earth-616 counterpart this groups origins would be rooted in trickery, as Zemo would pose the group as helping Germany stabilize the world however in reality they would secretly be attempting to take over the planet for themselves. Zemo would recruit the energy weilding Chain Lightning, the tech-savvy Makeshift, moonstone empowered Phantom Eagle (Lloyd Bloch), heat wielding mutant Solarr, and lastly his own son Heinrich, the armoured Iron Cross.
In their first recorded mission, the Thunderbolts would clash with Earth's Thunderbolts who were transported to Counter-Earth following a battle with Graviton. Thinking that Earth's version of the Thunderbolts were from Counter-Earth America and attempting to seize Russian oil assets let to a battle between the two groups, however the battle would end when Moonstone convinced them that they were only checking on Germany's mission to restabilize the planet.
Later when the Counter-Earth Thunderbolts were launching a satellite that would give them full access to the world economy (under the false pretence that the satellite would provide Counter-Earth with energy.) The Thunderbolt's from Earth would attempt to use it to get themselves home. When they realized what the Counter-Earth Thunderbolt's were up to it would lead to a clash between the two groups. During the fight, Techno would fry Iron Cross' brain and implant the consciousness of Earth's Helmut Zemo (who's body was destroyed months prior) into the body. In his new body, Helmut would use the Iron Cross armour to kill Baron Zemo, the Counter-Earth Thunderbolts were defeated shortly thereafter.
