Comic Book History
Who is ARNIM ZOLA?
Arnim Zola is a brilliant and disturbed scientist. He is able to clone bodies for people and transfer their brain patterns to the new bodies. He was created by Jack Kirby, and made his first appearance in Captain America #208 (April 1977)
Arnim Zola is considered the first human genetic engineer in history, a biochemist whose knowledge of genetics was enhanced by his study of deviant science. He has no powers of his own but has achieved much though his own technology and ambition.
Arnim Zola established a process by which a person could project their mind onto a cloned body. This process allowed Zola to transfer his mind into his current, ESP box headed body.
The rogue geneticist, Zola, presented this process to Adolf Hitler and would be successful in transferring Hitler's thoughts to a cloned body, who is now known as the Hate-Monger.
Arnim will continue his evil experiments with the H.Y.D.R.A. outfit.
Moreover, would later reunite with another villainous character of the previous world war, the Red Skull.

POWERS & ABILITIES
Note: Due to the nature of comicbooks being an on-going tale, the character's powers along with his appearance, is in a constant state of flux.
Technopathy: Arnim Zola possesses the ability to mentally control his various genetic creations by means of the ESP Box mounted atop his torso and surgically attached to his central nervous system. Although most of the creatures possess limited intelligence and the capacity for creative thought, Zola can override their mental processes if he so desires. The ESP Box is a retractable device that can convert brain waves into electronic signals for transmission as telepathic commands within ordinary radio range. Normally, Zola is capable of controlling only his own organic creations, but if he remains linked to his support equipment, he can stimulate his own mental power to such a degree that he can create a psychokinetic network able to animate inorganic matter within radio range. Zola is unable to control natural organic life.

Message to the CBM community:
To those who are making requests, check first [here] because I might have done an article on the character already. If I have not, please be patient, I will get on it as soon as possible (but consider the fact that I spend hours writing one of these articles). Try to limit your request to characters that already have been adapted to live media, so that the feature will at least be relevant to the site – Comic Book Movie(though I include TV characters). Characters in Manga or Anime’, I am not particularly familiar of, I am not discounting these characters but it will probably take some time before I write a feature on them because I have to read up on these characters. Thank you for reading these articles! If there are errors on the feature article above, blame it on my age, humanity and ignorance. Just be sure to check the comment section for the corrections, any error I made will surely be pointed out and corrected by much bigger geeks (because there will always be a bigger geek out there). -This has been PollMaster inviting you to the geekside. MABUHAY CBM and Godspeed!
