Volcanne was directly inspired by Arnim Zola, a character created by Jack Kirby (see image) that first appeared in issue 208 of Captain America. The similarities are apparent and we don’t want to hide them. Arnim Zola is a fascinating character because he isn’t possessed by the desire to rule the world or to get rich. His objective seems to be to continue his experiments without any moral constraints. We liked this trait a lot and wanted to create a character who was motivated by similar goals.
