Arnim Zola's Primus
The first Primus is a shapeshifting bio-android, an artificial humanoid created by the mad scientist named Arnim Zola. Primus thinks independently, and has superhuman strength and can harden his body to stone-like consistency. He can also alter his shape, so as to resemble a specific human being exactly. Zola caused Primus to merge with Doughboy, which was another of his creations, and which could assume unusual shapes. Primus can now turn himself into Doughboy and retain mental control of Doughboy while in the latter's form.
Primus has been a foe of Captain America, and the New Warriors, and an ally of the Mad Thinker.

Famous quotes containing the words arnim and/or zola:
“Strange that the vanity which accompanies beauty—excusable, perhaps, when there is such great beauty, or at any rate understandable—should persist after the beauty was gone.”
—Mary A. [Elizabeth, Countess Von] Arnim (1866–1941)
“All the critics who could not make their reputations by discovering you are hoping to make them by predicting hopefully your approaching impotence, failure and general drying up of natural juices. Not a one will wish you luck or hope that you will keep on writing unless you have political affiliations in which case these will rally around and speak of you and Homer, Balzac, Zola and Link Steffens.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
