Zarrko was once a civil servant, until he built a time machine to travel to more primitive times, where he could steal nuclear weapons for his use in conquering the 23rd century. He has used his scientific mind to build robots, a time machine, and other weapons for his own use. His plans are usually foiled by Thor, the Fantastic Four, and Spider-Man. Creation Zarrko was created by Stan Lee , Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby in 1962 and first appeared in Journey Into Mystery # 86.

He was the first in his country to commit a crime, as he says himself, "I alone, of all the spineless milksops in this century, dared to commit a crime! And, if you do not halt, I will pull this lever and commit another!" Zarrko's plots were later revealed to have been completed to stop a future Thor from oppressing the human race as their king, making his actions somewhat more heroic.
