The Book of Baron Zemo (Helmut Zemo)
The Book of Baron Zemo C3G MARVEL WAVE 19 PATRIOT GAMES The figure used for this unit is a HeroClix figure from the Avengers set. _________________________________________________________________Its model number and name are #034 / Baron Zemo. Character Bio - “Zemo's legacy was revived by his son, Helmut J. Zemo, 13th Baron Zemo, who was born in Leipzig, Germany. His father taught him the idea that the Master Race should rule the world. Helmut was originally an engineer until he became enraged when reading a report about the return of Captain America. Helmut would ultimately follow in his father's footsteps as a supervillain using his family's money and his own scientific know-how to recreate his father's work. “He first surfaced under the alias of The Phoenix, and captured Captain America to get revenge upon him for the death of his father. He was presumed deceased when he fell into a vat of boiling, specially-treated Adhesive X. As he had not been wearing his mask when he fell into the vat, his face was hideously scarred by the boiling Adhesive X, giving his face the appearance of molten wax. “He resurfaced years later as Baron Zemo, first allied with Arnim Zola’s mutates. He allied with Primus I, and kidnapped Captain America's childhood friend Arnold Roth in order to lure Captain America into a trap. He forced the Captain to battle hordes of mutates before revealing that he knew the Captain's secret identity. “Zemo later encountered Mother Superior and her father the Red Skull. Zemo underwent tutelage by Mother Superior and the Red Skull, and then kidnapped Captain America's friend David Cox and brainwashed him to battle the Captain. Zemo then kidnapped Arnold Roth again, and directed a shared mental reenactment of Heinrich Zemo's last World War II encounter with Captain America. Zemo then battled Mother Superior, but was psychically overpowered. “Most notably, he formed a new incarnation of the Masters of Evil. This fourth Masters of Evil was formed to strike at Captain America through the Avengers; they invaded and occupied Avengers Mansion and crippled Hercules and the Avengers' butler Edwin Jarvis. Zemo captured Captain America and the Black Knight. Zemo battled Captain America, but fell off the Mansion roof.” (Wikipedia, 2012). _________________________________________________________________ -Rulings and Clarifications-

Re: The Book of Baron Helmut Zemo - Design Phase
NAME = BARON ZEMO
SECRET IDENTITY = HELMUT ZEMO SPECIES = HUMAN UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = MASTERMIND PERSONALITY = CUNNING SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5 LIFE = 5 MOVE = 6 RANGE = 5 ATTACK = 4 DEFENSE = 5 POINTS = 200 BEST LAID PLANS Before rolling for initiative, you may choose an opponent's Army Card with at least one Order Marker on it. That opponent may remove one Order Marker from that Army Card. If they do not, subtract 2 from their initiative roll for each Order Marker on this card. MASTER OF DECEPTION After revealing a numbered Order Marker on any Army Card you control, instead of taking a turn with that card, you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card and take a turn with any other Army Card you control. MASTER SWORDPLAY If Baron Zemo attacks an adjacent figure with his normal attack and at least one skull is rolled, he may attack an adjacent figure again. He may continue attacking adjacent figures, rolling 1 fewer attack die for each subsequent attack, until you fail to roll a skull. Before any of these attacks, if you reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card, you may add one automatic skull to that attack.
Spoiler Alert!

Re: The Book of Baron Helmut Zemo - Design Phase
He's not a Mutate, just a Human with extended life - same as his father and Nick Fury.
I'm disappointed there's so much attention on his swordplay in comparison to his scheming/masterminding/tactics, since it's such a comparatively minor aspect of his character, but I really like Master of Deception which very much fits him. I'd probably bump his base stats up to 4/4, though. JOHNNY139'S CLASSIC CUSTOM THREAD! | Visit now!

Re: The Book of Baron Helmut Zemo - Design Phase
4/4 wouldn't necessarily work with his other powers, though. 3 defense is actually an advantage with his Parry power.
I could go with an attack of 4, but he'll be brutal in melee. I'll make the Human change for sure when the breathing period is up. Do you think Master of Deception would be better if you got the turn in addition to his turn? C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Baron Helmut Zemo - Design Phase
Yeah, but Parry and Swordsmanship only work in melee, and this guy only having 3 Defense against range is REALLY crappy for an expert tactician, combatant, marksman, and general renaissance man.
I think Master of Deception is solid as-is; I think the general feel of "ha ha, you thought I was going to do this, but I'm really going to do THIS!" is perfect for the character. I just wish it had more... presence, so to speak? JOHNNY139'S CLASSIC CUSTOM THREAD! | Visit now!

Re: The Book of Baron Helmut Zemo - Design Phase
Do you need to reveal the X to use Master Swordplay? Do you get the automatic skull for each attack or just the first?

Re: The Book of Baron Helmut Zemo - Design Phase
I LOVE Master of Deception. Parry is a cool take on counterstrike, but it does make him extraordinarily weak to range.
And I think the revealing the X on his swordplay should come at the end of the power, otherwise it seems to use the actual swordplay part you need to reveal X also (Unless that's how you intended it. Not very clear) |

You get an automatic skull as a direct result of revealing the X-Marker, so you just get the one initial auto skull. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Baron Helmut Zemo - Design Phase
Well, I didn't think it was clear. How about this?
MASTER SWORDPLAY Before attacking an adjacent figure with Baron Zemo's normal attack, if you reveal the "X" Order Marker on this card, you may use Master Swordplay. When using Master Swordplay, add one automatic skull to Baron Zemo's first attack this turn. If at least one skull is rolled, he may attack the same figure again. He may continue attacking the defending figure until you fail to roll a skull or the defending figure is destroyed. |

Re: The Book of Baron Helmut Zemo - Design Phase
I like that, quozl.
I find it kind of odd, though, that even though it's MASTER swordplay, he can only use it once per round, while all the normal sword users use theirs whenever. |

Re: The Book of Baron Helmut Zemo - Design Phase
Yeah, the intention is that the power in general is in play on every attack, but you can reveal the X-Marker to add an auto skull once. So that wording wouldn't work for that.
