Character Bio - “Arnim Zola was a biochemist during World War II who became one of the first human genetic engineers in history after finding papers and equipment used by the offshoot race of humanity, the Deviants. He found a ready home among the Nazi party, who saw his actions as the ability to ensure the existence of a master race.
“One of his first accomplishments was the creation of a brain pattern imprinting device, which would allow someone's mental essence to be projected into a cloned brain. Zola presented such a gift to Adolf Hitler, creating the Hate-Monger. Zola also used these skills to form a new body for himself, surviving through the war and into modern times.
“The Red Skull also financed some of Zola's experiments, allowing Zola to produce such creations as Primus, Doughboy, and Man-Fish This association led to Zola's first confrontation with Captain America in the jungles of Central America.
“Zola has since continued his experiments at various times and locations around the globe. Often, his crimes against humanity bring him into conflict with various heroes, from Captain America to Deadpool [...]
“Arnim Zola has no natural superpowers, but he is a scientific genius specializing in genetics and cloning. He is not only capable of creating exact clone copies of his ‘clients’, he has also created monsters which are conditioned to do his bidding.
“Zola's most noticeable feat was performed upon himself. He constructed a specially modified body which lacks a head. Instead, Zola's face is located—via holographic projection—on his chest, and atop his shoulders is an ESP Box, a psychotronic device which he uses to exert his control over his monster creations. In a limited effect, the Box can also be used as an offensive weapon.
“Whenever his body is damaged, or utterly destroyed, Arnim is able to send his personality to another one stored elsewhere, thus giving himself a form of immortality” (Wikipedia, 2012).

-Rulings and Clarifications-- Q: Reverse Engineering 16 states you can choose a glyph, but it further states a figure might be equipped with the chosen glyph. Can you select a glyph equipped by a figure within 3 spaces (on that figure's card), or must the chosen glyph be on the battlefield?
A: C3G's Equipment Glyph Rules state that glyphs with an area effect are considered to occupy the equipped figure's position. So you could choose either a glyph within 3 spaces on the actual battlefield or a glyph equipped by a figure on a figure occupying a space within 3 spaces. Non-Equipment Glyphs placed on Army Cards are not treated similarly, so, for instance, a Temporal Displacement Glyph on Kang's card would not be affected.
