Character Bio -
Baron Heinrich Zemo was one of the most brilliant scientists of all Nazi Germany, and joined the Nazi party early in it's existence. Zemo quickly became one of the Nazis' top scientists and the most wanted Axis agent. Zemo was working on his invention known as Adhesive X when the hero Captain America invaded his laboratories. In the course of destroying the only supply, the adhesive covered Zemo's cowled head, which became permanently affixed. As a result, Zemo became consumed with a violent, insane hatred for Captain America and mankind in general.

Zemo led many missions of sabotage and terror against the Allies, often clashing with Captain America. Late in the war, Captain America and his sidekick Bucky tried to stop one such plan, but failed. It was believed that Bucky died in an explosion but would return years later as the Winter Soldier. Captain America was thrown into icy waters which led him into a period of suspended animation. Soon after, Zemo left Germany, and his family, in the final days of the war, hiding away in a base he had constructed in the South American jungle. When Captain America re-appeared, joined by the superhuman team the Avengers. Zemo created his own team of super-villains, calling them the Masters Of Evil, in order to destroy the Avengers.

MASTERS OF EVIL
At the start of the game, you may choose up to 5 other Unique Heroes you control and place a black Masters of Evil Marker on each of their cards. After revealing an Order Marker on this card and instead of taking a turn with Baron Zemo, you may take a turn with a figure you control with a Masters of Evil Marker on its card. Baron Zemo and a figure you control with a Masters of Evil Marker on its card receive 1 additional attack die when attacking a figure with the Patriotic personality or with an Avenger Marker on its card.

ADHESIVE X TRAP
When a figure within 5 clear sight spaces of Baron Zemo begins its turn, you may immediately reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card. If you do, that figure cannot move, attack, or use any special power on any Army Card or Glyph this turn.

MENTAL SHIELD
An opponent may never take temporary or permanent control of Baron Zemo.

Re: Book of Baron Zemo (Heinrich Zemo) - Design Phase

Big thing to still work out is how to keep Captain America from placing AA markers and Baron Zemo from placing MoE markers on the same cards. Not too sure about the points yet, but that can wait until we finalize the powers a bit more.
 
Re: Book of Baron Zemo (Heinrich Zemo) - Design Phase

I think first we should decide whether we want Zemo and Cap's bonuses to both stack. Then we can put our heads together to figure out how, if need be.

I don't think that should be a priority. We just should work to make sure it's not overly effective when it's done and that it's priced appropriately. I can tell you right now that a power restricting you from drafting Captain America with him isn't going to pass, so it's best to rethink that one!
 
Re: Book of Baron Zemo (Heinrich Zemo) - Design Phase

Just so you know, all text but the power descriptions have to be capitalized!
 
Re: Book of Baron Zemo (Heinrich Zemo) - Design Phase

Is the chosen mini Heinrich or Helmut? I ask because it features a sword prominently, and I thought that was more Helmut's thing.
 
Re: Book of Baron Zemo (Heinrich Zemo) - Design Phase

At the moment THIS is the only Heinrich miniature (Captain America #54). It's Super Rare and not too great. :shrug:
 
Re: Book of Baron Zemo (Heinrich Zemo) - Design Phase

Not just the first letters of the words, all the letters - like BARON ZEMO.

What are the other options? I had the sword mini earmarked for Helmut, as long as it actually is Helmut.
 
Re: Book of Baron Zemo (Heinrich Zemo) - Design Phase

AVENGERS #34 and ULTIMATES #86. Avengers is the cheapest; Ultimates is in the $5 range and Captain America in the $10. All but Captain America is Helmut, but Ultimates is kinda closer the original, color-wise, at least.

Frankly I'd prefer to see the Captain America version on card, though, assuming someone actually has it. It's the actual character.

Those are the only two Baron Zemo figures.

There's this guy too. And I think he's a better choice for this design.

Edit: Johnny :ninja:'d me.

I'd be fine with the Captain America version if we can get it, and the Ultimates if we can't. They both look more like the Heinrich character and better fit this design, IMO. And I'm going to go ahead and lay claim to the Avengers one for my Helmut draft, since it fits that draft so well.

It looks like Helmut is the sword fighter of the family. Although I thought the Zemo in the cartoon was using a sword and someone earlier said that is suppose to be Heinrich, not Helmut.

We can use the other sculpt but earlier someone else suggested that uniform was Helmut too. That is why I went with the black uniform, also it matches the image above that I got from the official Marvel website for Heinrich which made me think it was him.

I'd agree with that, but should we be giving him Range? The Captain America mini has a gun, the Ultimates doesn't - but the Ultimates doesn't have ANY weapon, so, there's that.

Okay if you are using the Avengers one for your Helmut design, then I can change the info in the first post (after 48 hours?).

:wave: I have both figures, and while the sword (son) is OK, the older one (father) is awesome.

There are actually 3 figures (Captain america, Avengers, and ultimates). I just got the Avengers figure and, other than the sword, he looks essentially like the pic you guys have.
 
Re: Book of Baron Zemo (Heinrich Zemo) - Design Phase

As per the working with Cap discussion: Just make MoE work the same as Cap's power where there has to be a revealed OM. That minimizes the efficiency of his working with Cap, as it would be: Cap activates to get his bonus, Heinrich activates to get his bonus, 3rd figure gets 2 bonuses.

Sure it might suck if that last figure was Thor or something, but by that time you've invested so much effort and time in buffing his stats, his enemies should have had plenty of time to anticipate and plan their defense.

Also, should his personality be something more sinister (Sinister wouldn't be bad, actually)?

That's the horn I've been tooting.

Sounds like a plan.
 
Re: Book of Baron Zemo (Heinrich Zemo) - Design Phase

Is Zemo really the type to lead his troops into battle heroically, though?
 
Re: Book of Baron Zemo (Heinrich Zemo) - Design Phase

Is Zemo really the type to lead his troops into battle heroically, though?

Yodaking answered that already and the answer is No.

So let's tweak it to fit Yodaking's vision. Here's the current version:

Masters of Evil
At the start of the game you may choose 5 other unique heros you control & place a black Masters of Evil marker on their cards. As long as an order marker is on this card, any figure you control with a Masters of Evil marker on its card with in clear sight of Baron Zemo may add 1 extra die to its normal attack.

What's the theme here? Zemo has given them all secret information so that they're more effective attackers?

I think he's a master strategist. In Heroscape, that's usually represented with OM control. So how about rewriting Masters of Evil to fit that?

MASTERS OF EVIL
At the start of the game you may choose 5 other Unique Heroes you control and place a black Masters of Evil marker on their cards. After revealing an Order Marker on this card, instead of taking a turn with Baron Zemo, you may take a turn with any one figure you control with a Masters of Evil marker on its card.
 
Re: Book of Baron Zemo (Heinrich Zemo) - Design Phase

I like the idea of order marker control, but it usually is the other way around, right? Like Arrow Gruts, when you take a turn with them, you take a turn with a larger beast figure first. MoE might be better to boost his buddies, say like he used his master planning to teach them/give them better equipment ahead of time. (Like in the original version.)
 
Re: Book of Baron Zemo (Heinrich Zemo) - Design Phase

I like that idea, quozl - but maybe make it so they roll an additional attack die when taking a turn via that power?
