Falcon And Winter Soldier - Everything You Need To Know About Zemo

7. He Is One Of The World's Most Dangerous Men

At a glance, Zemo may not look like much. (The purple sock-mask definitely doesn't help.) He may not have superpowers but the German baron cannot be underestimated. The adhesive that deformed his face also slowed down his ageing. Even though he's a hundred years old, he's at his physical peak.

He may not be a super-soldier but his mental and physical training has left him almost on par with Captain America. He is an Olympic-level marksman with most firearms and is regarded as the world's greatest fencer.

Considering his weapon of choice is an adamantium-laced sword, he tends to make short work of anyone dumb enough to come at him with a blade. He also has circuitry built into his mask, rendering him immune to psychic attacks.

But what makes Zemo so dangerous is his tactical skills. Simply by using manipulative and strategic rhetoric, the master criminal can turn the tide of almost any argument, compelling society to switch to his way of thinking. His influence doesn't just work on the weak-willed or the easily led. He has convinced many people with good intentions to join him, usually as one of his henchmen.
