10 MCU Characters That Are Totally Different From The Comics

8) Baron Zemo

Comic Books: The son of Heinrich Zemo, one of Hitler’s top Nazi scientists, Baron Helmut Zemo was involved in a Joker-like accident when he fell into a vat of experimental glue Adhesive X. With his face now horribly disfigured, Zemo took to wearing a purple hood and became a bona fide supervillain – even forming the Masters of Evil. He’s also been affiliated with HYDRA on occasion.

MCU: For his appearance in Captain America: Civil War, Daniel Bruhl played Helmut Zemo only in name. His barony was never mentioned and the character’s iconic purple hood was nowhere to be seen. This Zemo shows some of his counterpart’s Machiavellian nature, though, by fracturing the Avengers to the point of civil war through his subtle manipulations. He doesn’t have a Nazi background, however, and is instead motivated by the death of his family in the Sokovia incident (seen in Avengers: Age of Ultron).
