It makes sense that Zemo's plans weren't well thought out, dude was constantly inhaling glue

Today I learned: -There's more than one Zemo -It's not Helmet Zemo -Rick has boundary issues

No one will ever get tired of tony desperately trying to disband the avengers. No one

Rick Jones: Professional Sidekick. Wish there was a comic with that title.

Calling it now, Paste Pot Pete is the main villain for MCU Phase 5.

Getting all of rick jones colorful history into one video could be a hell of a challenge

"Because who else would attack with glue?" Can you imagine if Cap ran into the Trapster before Zemo? "You must be Zemo! I know it! No one else has such a powerful, weaponized adhesive!"

It must be so hard for Baron Zemo to maintain any credibility while also being a decisively worse scientist than Paste-Pot-Pete.

Just started watching. Let's see if Tony gets to disband the Avengers this time. Edit: The quote dropped. Don't worry, Sasha, I don't think I'll ever get tired of it.

So I have to wonder how Paste Pot Pete felt about all these glue related crimes he had nothing to do with. Also, hearing this makes me think glue was thought to be far more dangerous and deadly than I ever could have imagined. Edit: literally right after posting this the Trapster shows up! Lmao. Awesome.

Rockin' the wig and makeup combo today! Sasha: "Who else would attack the city with glue?" Paste Pot Pete: "Am I a joke to you?" ... and everyone else on Earth-616...

Baron Zemo has the most Disney death of any Marvel villain, forshadowing that Disney would one day buy the rights to most marvel adaptations.

You know what they say... When villain hate you... He’s he be stuck on you. Just like glue.

Adhesive-based supervillainy is a tough business. Just ask Paste Pot Pete.

Little did they know when the fever dream that is Paste Pot Pete was created that he would become a major plot point that would save the Avengers and the world as we know it.

Now that's what I call a 'Sticky' situation....

This what you call a sticky situation

Rick Brown-Jones has a nice ring to it

Yes! Absolutely do a Rick Jones video! Compare and contrast with DC’s Lucas “Snapper” Carr! Fun Stuff! Disbanding? No! Never let Stark live that one down! Also! amazing how Marvel thought kids didn’t know how Glue works! Still waiting for Zemo’s grandson Emo Zemo! Sure, he attacks, but only if it’s ironic!

Zemo is a fav of mine Well mainly his the 2nd one in his Thunderbolts years.

Baron Zemo: "My hood got permanently glued to my face" The pilot being told the story: "That's rough, buddy"

zemo with the drip 😳

LOVE that wig the black with the color is beautiful

I will now hear John Ralphio any time I read Zimo, and it's amazing!

"In fact, why *don't* we disband while we have the chance??" This has become my favorite sound bite! I crack-up every damn time 🤣 Thank you for this

I keep forgetting that “marvel” used to be called “timely comics”

Would you be interested in doing a video about the '50s red-scare fake Cap? It seems like it's up your alley.

those helm nuts the Thunderbolts are where your going in a month. Rick Jones and Jimmy Olsen cross over that what we want them and their sidekick powers of the year

Have Zemo ever tried to use spirits to remove the glue? Melter, another villain killed by Scourge in the 1980s. Marvel was really cleaning out the crap back then. I think that should be the next topic, Scourge of the Underworld.

I remember as a kid buying all the Marvel Encyclopedia issues (the ones with all the characters running from left to right on the front and back covers), which were great because it explained the history off all the heroes in the comics in Alphabetical order in like 20 issues. Most chararacter get one page, a few paragraphs on their origins and their history, with some info about how strong they were, if they had a secret identity, etc.. Well, most except for Rick Jones, his entry was like 3 full pages of text. Even in 2021 he's _probably_ the most intertwined character they've had, right? He was involved with Hulk, Captain America, Captain Marvel, the Avengers and a few more heroes too. The dude was _everywhere_ back then.

11:42 "Probably because he was too busy trying to shoot me."

I've read a lot of Marvel comics that feature Rick Jones but I know very little about him lol.... For me he's almost like a enigma. I'm not sure if he's supposed to be a fanboy or a sidekick.

Blaming the Avengers for the death of your family after a disaster that was (technically) their fault feels like stronger villain motivation than "Gah! I'm a Nazi who got glue on my face, so now I'm Discount Doctor Doom!"

Stan lee and his memory, whatever the issue was, in his memory it wasn't his fault. And when that issue became greatly loved, Stan's memory was that he approved it and it was all him. R.I.P Stan Lee

Any time I hear Rick Jones I just hear. "I'm Rick Jones, B!*@#!" I know something is wrong, but Jones and James are so easily interchangeable.

A Rick Jones vid could be fun, it'd certainly go in... directions. Many directions.

Can we also get a Snapper Carr video as he is the DC Rick Jones?

After that dramatic speech, he just got shot in the head. I'm crying laughing.

That time the Avengers were beaten by a lot of glue.

Another important thing about Captain America during these early issues is that, when he was re-introduced in The Avengers, he was the only member of the team that didn't have a solo series at the time. He'd get one before long, but the first few issues of that series would be fairly plot-light episodes of Cap beating up a bunch of people, and then it would pretty quickly become a series about Cap's World War II adventures. This meant that the Avengers writers didn't have to worry about keeping the character consistent with another series and could therefore give him development that wasn't possible with the other members. I think that was a key factor in why he rose to prominence so quickly.

Why did he stop saving the day, He took some glue to the knee and now it absolutely got him down now

"Are you begging me or threatening me? I can't tell." 🤣😂🤣😂

It is amazing that when a villain gets stereotyped for a particular power or situation they get 'stuck' with that association until death or beyond. Zemo must have been in his fifties when he re-emerged in the Avenger comics and certainly overdressed for his reign in the tropics. I could only chuckle at how ridiculous some of those villains were for their time.

The Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe, explained that Baron Zemo fed himself intravenously (IV) after the hood got glued on. Peter David, who wrote the Incredible Hulk for 15 years and did a Captain Marvel book(Genis-Vell, son of Mar-Vell) , thought that Rick Jones had seen it all in Marvel and that made it fun for him to write for. I think he would a great subject for future videos.

I love Baron Zemo 2. He was one of my favorite characters for decades. I loved how they made him more of a "grey" character in the Thunderbolts. After that though I have hated pretty much everything they did with him. I hate that they earased all those years of character development and turned him back into a cartoon bad guy again because he was mad at Bucky.

Not a reference about "Zemo:Born Better" miniserie. When Zemo was stranded in time jumping from the past to the present and stopping to know a lot of the past Barons Zemo.

I'm not tired of that clip yet

The British Moquito plane, aka "The Wooden Wonder", was extremely effective from the middle of the war onwards, and held together by advanced glues. Germany tried to copy it, but their glues weren't as good (NB: May have only been the plot of a Commando comic and not real life). Cap's sabotage of Adhesive X was a vital mission! Also I love this issue for the one-on-one battles, and how they switch them up to confuse the baddies.

Yes! Please do a video on Rick Jones

The entire concept of Paste Pot Pete being the person the Avengers call for help delights me, and I'd never even heard of him until now. Also, I don't know who Rick Jones is, but if he's a superhero stalker, Tim Drake does it better. Walking around Cap in Bucky's old costume? Tasteless.

6:39 "Thanks, Fallout Boy!"

3:10 -- Way to 'stick' to your guns, Sasha.

Rick Jones is always around in the Marvel Universe. I would like to think that the late Stan Lee's MCU cameos where Rick Jones, or maybe Rick Jones' father, Rick Brown? Excelsior!

Helmut going "I cant even" is the only one there that fits

Glad I’m not the only one who’s ever wondered how Zemo eats with that mask glued to his face...

Zemo's glue plan was THE WOOOOOOOORST!

Tired of it? Surely you jest. Only Cap can make A speech like that and make you believe it.And there is no way that last version of Zemo ever makes sense.

The first time I saw Zemo II was in a reprint that came with a record of it acted out. Even after all these decades, that's still the voice I hear in my head whenever I read any story with him in it. I just wish they'd done a What If? with him actually staying as the heroic Phoenix. Great costume. (Hmmm, just realized, the Thunderbolts wasn't his 1st time faking being a hero)

If Zemo ever became a vampire, you could scare him away by brandishing rolls of Flex Tape instead of garlic.

I WAS READY FOR IT!!!!!! “In fact, why don’t we disband while we have the chance?” 😂😂😂

Kurt Busiek and co had their own adhesive-wielding do-badder in Astro City: Glue Gun. He was practically one-punched by the central character - a teenage boy - in the Confessions arc.

Here watching soon after it drops. Enjoying it so far...like always. Thank you Sasha.

Can I get a Marvel vs DC Rick Jones versus Jimmy Olsen?? Zemo is crazy. I love that he is unhinged but still focused enough for revenge. Cap was too busy waxing patriotic and Zemo gets away in that early Avengers joint and that latter issue with Zemo talking slang is pretty damn hilarious

Moral of the episode, don't play with super adhesive or you will end up running a group of super villains that have to wait for you to tell them what phase 2 of your plan is. I think 1960's Marvel adapted this into a cartoon episode.

Rick Jones: Everybody's sidekick. Even when he body-switched with Quasar Ultraman style (the Japanese version, not Evil Superman #3) he was still Quasar's sidekick.

Rick Jones. Forever destined to be a sidekick, even when he gets superpowers. The only time he ever got interesting for me was when he was involved with the Hulk's potential future incarnation of the Maestro. Which is arguably one of the very best Hulk stories and creations ever. However, Rick Brown-Jones is an amazingly underrated blues singer.

"The grip of a free man." I don't feel that line gets the credit it deserves.

Loved the VS. series reference. Those old Capcom games solidified my appreciation for Capt. America.

I literally paused the video from laughing too hard at your Freakazoid reference. "Hey Freakazoid, you wanna go to the honey harvest festival?" “DO I‽”

Hmm, Rick Jones hasn't been around much lately has he? He used to be everywhere, he could show up in virtually any comic and it would make sense that he was connected to the character lol

I love how super weaponized glue is apart of his origin, even when his mask doesn't have nose and mouth holes, so he should be suffocating and dying of hunger, and other conditions, but, he, and his son, are too angry to die. Most likely, the MCU will omit this, like a lot of his origin, or not, meaning it's forever attached to him... Hehe (It's funny, Rick Jones is still prevalent in comics, and has appeared in games and shows occasionally, but besides a mention in text form in The Incredible Hulk and rumors he appearing in She-Hulk, casual fans would be none the wiser to him.)

"At the time of this recording"? Check Iron Man's quote? Check I'm pleased

Non-Stop Spider-Man gets worse the more I think about it. I am so glad I am not alone in the opinion that Zemo would never speak in such a way. Thank you, though, for enlightening me about the original Zemo.

I never even knew "drip" was a slang term until this video.

In my head, that last bit with Helmut was in Charlie Murphy's voice. Rick Jones - Freelance Sidekick

Remember, when Helmut Demo First Appeared He Called Himself The Phoenix!!!!!

"It's THE Radioactive Man!--not that article-less Radioactive Man from Bongo Comics."

there's a zemo story where they introduce a baroness zemo who marries helmut, then they make it weird and say that she was like a reincarnation of the original zemo because dr zola copied zemo's memories and personality into her body, implying that helmut married someone with his father's brain. they walked that back later and said that the brainwave thing wasn't actually true but still for a brief period of time, zemo was basically married to his dad

Love the purple coordination of hair, lip, and villain. LOVE the purple lip color 💜

“Respect the drip Cap” -Helmet Zemo , apparently

Even Spider-man have been beaten by glue.

It both makes me laugh and kinda makes me sad that no one these days knows who Rick Jones is. I'm a huge Hulk fan so of course I know who he is, but for a long time he was freakin' everywhere in the Marvel comics. Now though? Last I heard he became A-Bomb, so that was a... thing that happened, and no one really talks about him anymore.

That second Baron Zemo is just such a goof! His biggest achievement is getting his name changed from the Phoenix because Marvel didn't want two and he drew the short straw. I loved his last big run in the last ongoing Punisher series. Kingpin was so frustrated with his stupidity! It's honestly fun to see villains trying to school each other on how to be smarter.

I love the version of Zemo from the Avengers the earth's mightiest heroes

Wife: comes for the hair Me: stays for the gnawledge

Rick Jones is weird in small doses, but his entire backstory combined is just an insane mad-libs patchwork of ideas to keep giving him some kinda purpose. It's amazing.

Sasha: who else would attack them with glue? Me: paste pot Pete would. 1 minute later Paste Pot Pete: You rang?

I hope the next villain video will be on Batroc. because Batroc rules !

Also despite two of my favourite fandons it yook until now to realize Aang and Cap have the same backstory.

Those early days of Marvel under Stan Lee were a trip 😀. My main question though is this: when did they run the old Marvel TV cartoon in Canada that someone as young as Sasha knows Cap's theme?

Zemo took to wearing the getup with the purple mask and tiara and fur collar so that people wouldn' know that it was him. I see.

Why is Rick Jones? I mean really, back when I was reading comics (started in 60's), this guy named Rick Jones kept popping up, and I kept asking why? I know he was the kid that Bruce Banner was trying to save, when he was hit with Gamma Rays. (The Incredible Hulk #1 - 1962) And Rick, out of guilt, kept trying to help Hulk/Banner. But then he just kept popping up all over Marvel comics: The Skrull-Kree wars, Swapping places with Captain Mar-Vell, the Runaways, he just keeping popping up. If you want to do a Rick Jones run, be warned it's quite "the Rabbit Hole" and I doubt one video will be sufficient. As always thank you so very much for the video.

I remember re-entering comics circa 2009 after having taken... damn, I'm old...... some 18 or so years off from them and coming on the Thunderbolts Presents- Zemo- Born Better trade. I enjoyed the story and what it did for the character, but it was an especially fitting re-entry, because my very first ever comic was Avengers... #277 With Zemo facing down Cap on the cover.. the final issue after the Masters of Evil invaded Avengers Mansion and beat Hercules into a coma.. Hmm.. Sasha.. maybe a bit about the Masters of Evil invasion of Avengers Mansion.. you already covered that weird story where Moonstone and Blackout teamed up with like.. Rhino... I don't remember.. it's late.. and I'm babbling... cheers

Zemo saying drip is everything

Yay! Second favorite wig today! It's a good cut on you and I love the iridescence! I was just thinking that you should do a Rick Jones retrospective! He has as rich a history as any Marvel superhero, yet he was always the sidekick! I saw the reference to Captain Marvel in the comic panel and thought, "Yeah, how DID he get together with Mar-vell, to kind of parallel the OG Captain Marvel and Billy Batson?" Also glad to see the Twilight Zone theme has held on to its relevance after all these years! 10:13 "...America's most uninhibited, unabashed, unforgettable team...?" What, is this the Playboy editorial staff or the Avengers?! 😉 If you're gonna nail the Jean-Ralphio voice, and I am here for that, ya gotta really belt out "the worst" like the cheesiest lounge singer you've ever heard of. It's before your time, but look up Bill Murray's lounge singer from the OG Saturday Night Live. It's quite epic when he sings his own lyrics to the Star Wars theme! So if we're sharing Baron Zemo stuff, my first encounter was with his son, though I didn't know his name was Helmut at the time. Back in the early '70s, an outfit called Power Records did audio dramas on 45 RPM records that were meant to be listened to while reading an accompanying comic book. I had one that had Cap and the Falcon fighting "The Phoenix!" No, not that one, the first one, where it was a guy and he just had a costume and a ray gun. It was pretty deep in how they dealt with Cap's feelings about the personal toll of World War II, and discovering he was fighting the son of Zemo went part and parcel with that. I still remember the last line: "Say it again, Sam. (!) Say it isn't my fault. Maybe the second time I'll believe it." Heavy-duty stuff for 8 year old me! But I ate it up with a spoon, already being deep into comics at the time.

Yes, a Rick Jones video would be awesome! Peopke deserves to know about him.

Cap went beast mode in this comic this comic was interesting to see!

Rick Jones: Marvels #1 hanger on.

Yes Rick Jones Video including Time he and Mar Vel swopped places in The Negative Zone for a while. Believe Roy Thomas Homage to The Original Fawcett Captain Marvel

If they ever get to do DC/Marvel crossovers again, I demand a Rick Jones/Snapper Carr face off.
