5. Dr. Zola's A.I.

Doctor Arnim Zola was a scientist who worked for HYDRA, studying the tesseract and producing weapons of mass-destruction for the Nazis during World War II. After the war, Zola began working for S.H.E.I.L.D. and used his position to secretly rebuild HYDRA.

Zola died in 1972 but interestingly, the HYDRA scientists were able to transfer his mind into a complex computer system located at Camp Lehigh. This transfer into a digital brain was nearly perfect and allowed him to continue his work with HYDRA undetected underground. Zola was now practically immortal (albeit confined to one room).

Upon discovering his computer "brain," Captain America and Black Widow barely even react. They were clearly surprised by what they discovered, but not nearly as surprised as they should have been. HYDRA was able to preserve one of their most valuable scientific minds for decades. Think of what could happen with a few copies of Stark's brain. There would be a new scientific revolution!

This tech could even be implanted in Iron Man's suits and allow anyone to be brought back from the dead and move around freely! Maybe eventually they would even be able to get more realistic bodies. You would think someone would be intrigued by the possibility of immortality.
