	When working on his own, it is usually for the pure fascination of genetic research, no matter how cruel or unusual his means. One time, Zola assembled several wolf-related heroes and villains, which included [[Jameson, John\|John Jameson]]’s reversion to his Man-Wolf identity. When Captain America tracked Jameson, he was briefly captured by Zola and transformed into a wolfman himself, although he escaped and managed to destroy Zola’s schemes and rescue Jameson and the other victims. Another time, Zola purchased refugees of the city-wide rampage caused by [[Onslaught (entity)\|Onslaught]] from the [[Rat Pack]], and he subjected them to hideous experiments. One of his victims, [[Jolt (Hallie Takahama)\|Jolt]], escaped to find the [[Thunderbolts]], who returned to defeat Zola.

	More recently, Captain America and his ally Thor (actually, [[Thunderstrike\|Erik Masterson]] in the guise of Thor) tried to infiltrate one of the Red Skull's safehouses, and Zola used Doughboy to try to capture the two.

However, Zola re-created Doughboy to be used as his vehicle of transportation when capturing the then-ruler of Madripoor, the [[Viper (Madame Hydra)\|Viper]], which brought Zola into conflict with [[Wolverine (James Howlett)\|Wolverine]] and [[Cable]].

He went after Stark Industries technology to improve his own, using a computer virus to trap Tony Stark's mind on the internet, and waging war against Stark Industries and S.H.I.E.L.D. Zola's clones, mostly of Happy Hogan, and 8 of Madame Hydra were eventually suppressed shortly after the S.H.I.E.L.D. Strike team destroyed Zola's Facility and his reserve bodies. Zola himself was taken into the upper atmosphere and suffocated at the hands of Iron Man, but digital copies of Zola existed after, and possibly more reserve bodies.

{{bio|
bio_text= The frail, dwarfish Arnim Zola was born in 1930’s Switzerland where he became the world’s leading biochemist. In his ancestral castle, Zola happened upon mysterious papers brought by his ancestors in the Crusades. These documents originated from [[Deviants]] and contained secrets of genetic engineering that far surpassed even today’s level of technology. Zola used the secrets to become the world’s first public genetic engineer, perhaps preceded only by Nathaniel Essex, [[Mister Sinister]].

Needing funds to continue his research, Zola presented his first invention, the creation of device that would transfer someone’s essence to a cloned body, to Adolf Hitler, who agreed to become his patron. This device and partnership allowed Hitler to survive World War II as the [[Hate-Monger (Adolf Hitler)|Hate-Monger]]. Zola also used it on himself, not only allowing him to survive into modern times but to also replace his normally frail body with a stronger, android one.

Zola also found a patron in the [[Red Skull (Johann Shmidt)|Red Skull]], but otherwise he kept his existence a secret, performing experiments in a hidden fortress in the jungles of Central America. [[Captain America (Steve Rogers)|Captain America]], on the trail of the Red Skull, managed to find Zola’s hidden laboratories, only to be captured by the first of Zola’s intelligent creations, [[Primus]] and [[Doughboy]]. Captain America escaped, but Zola later used Doughboy and Primus to capture Captain America and the woman Donna Maria Puentes, who he wished to use for genetic experimentation.
