In Honor of Pride Month,

I just wanted to remind you guys that the Zemo I play is bisexual with a leaning towards men that identifies as a gay man. Cheers everyone!

Helmut’s Tools of the Trade

This is a list of the various weapons, gadgets, tools, and other paraphernalia that Helmut uses on a regular-to-semi-regular basis in combat. I will add to this list as I develop new ideas.

Joyeuse: 

This is Helmut’s primary weapon. Named for the legendary sword wielded by Charlemagne, Joyeuse normally takes the form of a rapier with a blade length of 97cm and a hilt adorned with the House of Zemo crest. However, this weapon has an unstable structure and is able to alter its length, width, and density at the behest of the wielder. Helmut most often converts it into a short sword for closer combat encounters, a pike, and an extended whip. When tapping into the residual power of the Moonstone left within him, Helmut can superheat the blade, causing it to glow and increasing its cutting power. 

Iscariot:

This crimson weapon is a repurposed and personally-customized version of the Satan’s Claw, a weapon once used by Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker before his death and Helmut’s hand. This clawed gauntlet is able to deliver powerful electrical shocks to anything it touches, as well as delivering a potent toxin into anyone unfortunate enough to be scratched by it. While it is more lightweight and compact than its original form, Iscariot is still rather bulky and is unlikely to be utilized by Helmut outside of ideal circumstances as it limits his primary advantage in speed and agility. 

Nero:

Nero is a modified Magnum Desert Eagle, customized by Helmut with poached Vibranium to be durable enough to withstand the explosive force of its unique ammunition. Helmut will rarely load Nero with bullets made from pure Adamantium, causing Nero to be capable of piercing most conventional armor and even denting the shield of Captain America. These bullets are difficult to make and are rarely employed by Helmut. Additionally, charging Nero with the light energy left behind by the Moonstone can allow Helmut to use Nero to fire off concentrate beams of laser light for both lethal and non-lethal damage.

The Whippet:

The Whippet is a small robot that often takes on the form of a lithe dog, but can alter its form depending on the terrain. Helmut most often the Whippet for reconnaissance due to its small stature and quiet movements. 

Jet Boots:

While unnamed, Helmut’s jet boots are integral to Helmut’s success in the field. Their powerful combustion abilities allow Helmut to extend his jumping ability, hover, and even fly shorter distances before they begin to overheat. Helmut can also use them to release powerful bursts of superheated energy with a flex of his foot while kicking.

Fury

A fury headcanon:

Contrary to his prideful nature, there are very few people that Helmut puts effort into hating. In fact, Helmut respects and even enjoys many of his consistent adversaries, as he sees them as obstacles to overcome using his ingenuity and skill. However, Helmut does hate three people: his father, Sinthea Schmidt, and James Barnes, each for similar reasons: he believes they each took something from him. Heinrich took his childhood from him, Sinthea took his station within Hydra and any approval he could have gained, and Bucky took his chance at redemption away.

How does Helmut feel about dogs?

“Mongrels, all of them.”

[Helmut absolutely loves dogs. He’s much more of a dog person than a cat person. Being a natural loner, he prefers the explicitly affectionate companionship of a dog to most people.]

Your life is a TV trope Mr. Dark Messiah

For every “Trope” I get, I will post a TV trope for my muse.

The Anti-Villain:

An Anti-Villain is the opposite of an Anti-Hero — a villain with heroic goals, personality traits, and/or virtues. Their desired ends are mostly good, but their means of getting there are evil. Alternatively, their desired ends are evil, but far more ethical or moral than most villains and they thus use fairly benign means to achieve it, and can be heroic on occasion. They could also be someone or something whose desired ends or means are not necessarily "evil" at all, but their actions simply conflict with that of whoever seems to be the protagonist.

It's not my fault that you're upset that I'm smarter than you.

PSA About the Future of the Blog

This blog follows the continuity of the New Avengers Vol. 9 as far as it has been published. That means: Helmut is currently struggling a great deal with his memory after the brainwashing done on him during his stay in Pleasant Hill as “Jim”. Some of it remains, and simply needs to be reawakened, while parts of it is completely gone. 

That being said: this is serving as sort of a psuedo-reboot of this blog, at least in my mainverse. This implies that the mun has full jurisdiction over what is remembered and what isn’t. Additionally, this also leaves Helmut somewhat susceptible to manipulation of his memories and relationships with others. Do with that information what you will.

I would like you to headcanon how Helmut views Peggy Carter.

Helmut views Peggy Carter as a key part of the formative psychology of Steve Rogers. He’s never met her, but he respects her a great deal for going from a situation of societal disadvantage into a position that so few people could ever hope to fill after her. If her niece is any indication of who she was, Helmut would have loved to meet her, even if they were on opposite sides of the conflict.
