Sleeper Mechs

"Let the Sleeper rise!"

- Arnim Zola The Sleeper was a gigantic robot of unknown origin. It was burried beneath Castle Zemo for hundreds of years.

History
The Sleeper was discovered during the Middle Ages by the first Baron Zemo. Though they couldn't understand what the Sleeper is, Zemo and his men realized it is something important. Castle Zemo was soon built around the Sleeper's resting place.

Hundreds of years later, during World War II, the Castle was owned by Baron Heinrich Zemo, who thought that he was destined to awake the Sleeper. However, he unvisely made an alliance with Johann Schmidt, commander of the Nazi research division HYDRA. On Schmidt's orders, the soldiers of HYDRA occupied Castle Zemo, where Schmidt's top scientist Arnim Zola studied the Sleeper.

In 1944, the castle was infiltrated by the American Super Soldier, Captain America. After he defeated the guards, he confronted Zola's robot, while the Sleeper awoke and destroyed one Allied plane. However, the Sleeper was finally destroyed by Captain America.
