15 Creepiest Things Done By MCU Characters

14. Arnim Zola Becomes A Supercomputer (Captain America: The Winter Soldier)

The Moment: In pursuit of answers, Cap and Black Widow arrive at an abandoned military base and discover that Red Skull's right-hand man Arnim Zola now resides within a supercomputer, having transferred his consciousness when his physical body began to fail him. Zola stalls the pair as he prepares a missile assault on the base that ultimately destroys his mainframe.

Why It's Creepy: This could so easily have played out as incredibly silly, but it's actually pretty damn sinister, no doubt aided by Toby Jones' terrifically slimy delivery and the fact that he basically performs an exposition dump as an attempt to stall Cap and Widow from leaving as the bombs make their way towards the facility.

Malevolent Nazi scientist resides inside a giant computer. Yep, definitely creepy as all hell.

Creep Level: 6/10
