I noticed that there isn't much Zemo love in this thread. Helmut, out of all of the original Thunderbolts, has been the most active; in recent history. what I've been impressed with is Zemo's ability to align with just about anyone. he's branched out a lot since his days of relying entirely on Norbert. Daimon Hellstrom, the Mandarin, Roxxon, Ghost, Madame Masque, Satannish, Sin, Barney Barton, Iron Hands Hauptmann, etc. he's not the most formidable villain. but on a resourcefulness level, he's quite impressive.

Also Citizen V returns, but wasn't Zemo Citizen V?

Tbolts and Secret Avengers are my favorite team series ever.

My favorite line-ups...

I always feel that any line up with Songbird or Moonstone is lacking.

Old Woman Songbird looks absolutely stunning there

[Winterboy]

I miss them....

I'm still unclear as to the whereabouts of the individual tbolts during Secret Empire. Do you think that Karla, Norbert, and Erik let themselves be put in stasis? They weren't hanging out with Zemo. Ghost seems to be his new tech guy; even lent him a ghost suit.

[Husk]

My ideal (streamlined) movie plot: Moonstone, Songbird, Beetle and Atlas are all caught doing bad shit. Hawkeye is brought in to redeem them as assets and it seems to be working. Moonstone is actually an asset of Zemo and frees him. Chaos ensues as Thunderbolts versus Zemo's Masters (of Evil, but that might be too corny for the MCU).

To me, the comicbook character Old Man Bullseye is sporting one godawful look.

IMO, before he becomes the MCU Atlas, the MCU Erik Josten is to be introduced in the MCU as the MCU Power Man courtesy of the MCU Amora the Enchantress!
