Comic Book Question of the Week VOTING: Favorite Captain America Villain

What? No Nuke?

How many Nazi's are on that list?

Nuke debuted in Daredevil, then (briefly) served as one for Wolverine. His conflict with Cap is a far more recent thing, whereas this is trying to use people who have a history with Cap. Besides, if you really want to vote for him, vote other and explain why you think he's the best Captain America villain.

Protocide earned my vote. His story ended with so much potential. I'd love to see a writer bring him back. Plus, he's a lesser-known and could probably use the vote...

I voted Winter Soldier. I'm not a huge Cap fan, so it was really out of Red Skull or Bucky, and I LOVE the Winter Soldier's arc so I went with him.

Oh, and voting for Hitler just because of the blurb = not funny or original. Just saying.

Winter Soldier's not a villain! He's misunderstooood!

Everyone who doesn't vote for Red Skull gets a pimp slap. Exceptions only for Crossbones & (Helmut) Zemo.

Deciding on either Zola or Red Skull...

W Soldier all the way! The hitler thing made me lol! Haha

Red Skull

All those that vote for Hitler.....

@k4tzm4n:I'm surprised you didnt go for Crossbones,but then dudes personality is seriously lacking.

Baron Helmut Zemo easy,he's boss then Red Skull. Winter Soldier isn't a villain IMO,and Taskmaster jobs too much.

Red Skull. Can't go wrong with the classic arch foe!

Crossbones can be a very amusing character in the right hands. He lacks drive and doesn't have any major goals, but amusing nonetheless. At any rate, I figured he wouldn't need my vote because he has quite a few fans. However, I'd be willing to bet more than a handful of people have no idea who Protocide is.

Eh, Winter Soldier was Cap's antagonist for a point, so that's enough for me to place him here. And if he wasn't, we'd like have people asking why he isn't on it.

i chose grand director , a scary look (a what if? if you will) if cap ever defected and was a nazi posterboy

Baron Zemo.

Zemo

Paste Pot Pete

If Adolf does win, we seriously need a very long discussion about that. I rather have Red Skull or Zemo win.

Was going to vote Zemo. But Crossbones wears briefs.

Zemo

I didn't vote for him but it's not like he's any worse than some of the characters on that list

@wolverine08: Great minds.

Bah no one cares about Protocide,he sounds like a fancy name for a new medicine or something.

I started reading Cap and The Invaders around the time Baron Blood (Falsworth) was a big character. I always liked the idea of Nazis and vampires. Pretty cool villains...

@k4tzm4n: Is the Baron Zemo option both Zemo's or one or the other?

Gotta go with Red Skull, though Zemo and M.O.D.O.K were tempting.

Baron Zemo.

This.

Though I've read little of his character outside of Brubaker's run, I've found Baron Zemo to be a very interesting villain, especially during the No Escape storyline.

@entropy_aegis: Baron deserves respect! He's the only villain whom can rock purple furs with swagger!

Arnim Zola

Oh yeah, this recent line from Zemo in Indestructible Hulk #9 was sweet!

Red Skull by a mile. I love MODOK but when I think of him I don't automatically associate him with Cap. Winter Soldier isn't a true villain in my eyes. He is a great character and the Winter Soldier story is my favorite Cap arc but I don't consider him a villain, even when he was opposing Captain America.

My hands are tied.... If MODOK is involved, I am legally obligated to vote for him.

Baron Zemo is a pretty sweet villain.

Cap probably has some of the best villains, I voted for Red Skull.. but for me it's a tie between Red Skull & Baron Zemo,with Batroc the leaper coming in 2nd

Awesome.

Skull, for being the anti-Cap.

No Nuke? This Poll does not speak for me!

Everything Zemo does is awesome one way or the other!

Red Skull is the easy answer, but I loved Crossbones and Sin together in Brubaker's epic run. They are comic books Natural Born Killers.

PROTOCIDE

Red Skull is the correct answer.

@k4tzm4n:

Travesty! We must spread the gospel of Protocide!

Oh, and I voted for Zemo. Helmut Zemo is awesome!

I just bought Captain Ameria #412 last week. What a coincidence!

I think Baron Zemo, particularly Helmut Zemo, is definitely one of Cap's most interesting villains.The one dimensional Nazi characters serve their purpose but its always nice to see a villain who has some nuance. He has a very unique costume as well. Taskmaster is one of my favorite characters, but I don't really think of him as being a Captain America villain, so picking him didn't seem right. Always had a love for Flag Smasher too.

This picture alone gets my vote for Cap's worst enemy, but I wish his arm was sticking out

@chaos_burn: See post #3.

While the Red Skull will always be Cap's main villain, I think the most interesting one is far and away Baron Zemo.

While the Red Skull (and most of the Cap rouges gallery) is a pure evil to Cap's pure good, Zemo has all kinds of shades to his character. At his most interesting, he is not simply trying to take over the world, but fighting to keep the ultimate achievement of Zemo family name: being the killer's of Captain America. Dealing with the pressures of living up to that family legacy will beat a straight nazi in my book every day.

I've been reading a lot of Cap in Tales of Suspense and early Avengers, so my leaning is currently skewed towards Zemo (This is due to the fact that Cap is always screaming his name and swearing vengeance...)

Tie between Zemo and SKull

Crossbones for sure

Zemo is one BAMF.
