Helmut Zemo

Baron Helmut Zemo is a Marvel Comics super villain. In Comic Book SNAFU, Zemo is a member of Checkmate.

History
Zemo is present when Hawkeye and Batman are held captive by Lightbringer. Once Major Force attacks Lightbringer, Zemo leaves. He recruits Bane to help capture Hawkeye and Batman.

Zemo attacks the Batmobile and causes it to crash. He challenges Batman to a fight while Hawkeye fights the Secret Six. Zemo has the upper hand at first, but the unexpected appearance of Orphan turns the tables. At Zemo's insistence, Jeannette uses her Death Wail to cripple the heroes, only for Hawkeye (who is unaffected besides the destruction of his hearing aid) to take out both Jeannette and Zemo.

Clint Barton/Hawkeye
Zemo is one of the villains Hawkeye identifies as an arch nemesis. Zemo refutes the claim, but further prompting causes him to reveal his hatred towards Hawkeye for recruiting his former team the Thunderbolts.

William Cross/Crossfire
Crossfire is Zemo's superior in Checkmate. They are shown to dislike each other.

Bruce Wayne/Batman
Zemo is shown to have some level of respect for Batman, commending his skills during their fight.
