Fictional character biography

edit

Doughboy is an artificial dough-like lifeform created by Arnim Zola to be his servant. He assisted Zola against Captain America during their first encounter.[2][3][4][5]

Years later, Zola fuses Doughboy with Primus before eventually separating them.[6][7][8][9] After seemingly being killed by Thor, Doughboy later resurfaces and battles the Thunderbolts at Zola's base in China.[10]

Powers and abilities

edit

Doughboy has a malleable body that enables him to fly, shapeshift, and absorb matter to grow in size.[8][9][5] However, he possesses limited intelligence and is largely incapable of acting without orders.
