Helmut Zemo

Baron Helmut J. Zemo was a Sokovian nobleman, former Colonel of the Sokovian Armed Forces and commander of EKO Scorpion. Following the Battle of Sokovia, during which his family perished, Zemo came to the conclusion that enhanced individuals could not be allowed to exist and, seeking vengeance against the Avengers in particular, sought to destroy them. Knowing he could not defeat them in battle, Zemo planned to turn them against each other; he first did so by framing the Winter Soldier for killing King T'Chaka, which caused Captain America to defend Barnes from the world. His actions caused the Avengers Civil War, in which Iron Man led the manhunt for Barnes and Zemo, allowing Stark to learn Barnes was responsible for his parents' murder. With the Avengers in ruin, Zemo tried to shoot himself, but was captured by Black Panther and given to Joint Counter Terrorist Centre for his imprisonment.
