Who is Arnim Zola?

Origin Arnim Zola was a biochemist whose knowledge of genetics was enhanced by his study of deviant science via old handbooks he discovered. He has no powers of his own but has achieved much though his own extraordinary technology and ambition. Zola was hired by the Red Skull to reverse-engineer some of Doctor Doom 's time travel technology so that he could separate his consciousness from Aleksander Lukin 's by aging Sharon Carter 's child and placing his mind into the body. Sharon was able to break free from the device and kill Lukin, but as a fail safe Zola had the Skull's mind transport to one of his android bodies in the event of Lukin's death. Zola was killed by a mentally unstable Grand Director but it is believed that his mind was teleported to another android body, as Zola has escaped death before via this method. Zola would later join up with a alternative universe Captain America that had his whole backstory changed by a rogue Cosmic Cube to believe that he was a lifelong agent of HYDRA and would supply him with the suit that would house his Cube fragments. Arnim Zola's original body was killed years ago by himself willingly as he was trapped with his own designed biologi.
