Captain America: New World Order - 10 Supervillains Who Could Appear

10. Arnim Zola

The Red Skull’s genetic engineer, Arnim Zola, seemingly met his end in Captain America: Winter Soldier when the supercomputer containing his consciousness was destroyed. But since nobody really stays dead in the world of Marvel, it wouldn’t be a hard pill to swallow if he returned.

Because Zola is among Captain America’s most recurring foes, it seems unfair we've only seen the self-proclaimed Bio-Fanatic play second fiddle in live-action. In the comics, Zola has an army of genetically altered soldiers and mind-controlling robots. He imprisoned Steve Rogers in a dimension, which he ruled with an iron fist for over a decade. Basically, Zola is not someone you should underestimate. By reincorporating him into the MCU, we can see how dangerous Toby Jones' character can be.

Also, reintroducing him would be an opportunity to bring back his original design. In the comics, the Swiss scientist cheated death by placing his consciousness inside an android body. Because his face appears on a computer screen on the robot’s torso, Zola looks really silly, even by comics standards. As a result, his design was given a more modern look in the MCU.

But since the Marvel Studios has embraced the comic-accurate aesthetic in recent years, Zola should look closer to the source material if he returns to the franchise.
