The super-adhesive polymer known as "Adhesive X" was created by Baron Helmut Zemo. This polymer is best known as the substance used by Zemo's ally the Trapster.

On the world known as "Counter-Earth," which was created by Franklin Richards in the aftermath of the Onslaught crisis, an alternative version of Helmut Zemo was known as "Iron Cross." He was the member of the Thunderbolts of Counter-Earth, under the leadership of his father, Baron Heinrich Zemo. The other members of that team (Phantom Eagle, Chain Lightning, Makeshift and Solarr) were apparently not direct analogues of regular Earth characters.
