He could be the Marvel equivalent of Frank from "House of Cards", feigning goodness but carrying out evil with frightening competence.
Always staying in the shadows, the perfect spymaster.

Best MCU villain. Surprised Marvel hasn't adapted him for their books like they did Coulson.

He has so much potential to be a long-term villain, because he won't stupidly reveal himself.
And because of his natural Redford-level charm, he does have a faux charisma to him.
>>83159805
I even know how to introduce him.
He's the "noble man" who spends forever trying to prove Captain America is innocent. He gets promoted to where he can do the most damage when he succeeds.
Unlike his movie counterpart, his goal is to subtly rebuild HYDRA in a modern image.
He's even willing to fight the older factions of HYDRA to do it, as he sees them as obsolete in his new order.
Thus he is ironically both friend and foe to Captain America, depending on the situation.
Characters like him are a dime a dozen these days
Nah, Cap being HYDRA would be even more interesting!

Quick, send this to Marvel so they don't accidentally do this
>>83160375
I doubt Marvel would do this.
It would raise interesting questions of moral ambiguity, since Pierce is technically doing good by fighting HYDRA's older factions.
And would his new modern and equal-opportunity HYDRA necessarily be worse?
That's the big question the character raises.
More importantly, when are we getting a look beneath Zemo's sock to confirm that they are actually drawing him to look like Bruhl now?

I think his face is still melted again. Maybe a flashback eventually?
>>83160725
It'll be a flashback for sure.
