The Chitauri Conflict
Before and during the Invasion, Arnim Zola seemed to have the same history with his Earth-61615 counterpart, where he subsequently transferred his mind into a complex computer system after being diagnosed with a fatal illness in the early 1970s, along with him successfully & secretly rebuilding Hydra within S.H.I.E.L.D. until present day as an act to fulfill the paramilitary organization's legacy. At some point in time before the Chitauri Invasion, Zola's former leader, Johann Schmidt, who has recently found himself waking up in the ice caps of Greenland, had reconciled with him within one of his secret bases, located in the now-abandoned Camp Lehigh of New Jersey.

Unfortunately, Zola ultimately betrays his former master, rather than letting him keep his place as the returning leader of Hydra, deciding to imprison the Red Skull in the process instead of killing him, with his reasoning that keeping Schmidt would be a "fine living trophy" for him. When the diabolical Asgardian God of Mischief Loki was able to successfully the Avengers and the rest of Earth's mightiest heroes like him, during the significant Battle of New York into fighting his mirage or illusion, while the villain continues to his to spread the chaos caused by his single-minded and bloodthirsty army coming through the wormhole created by the Tesseract.

March to Secret War
As a devastating consequence to Loki's effective strategy, the invasion of the timeline itself was prolonged for almost an entire week, longer than it was supposed to be. Though this event might not have affected Zola and the legacy Hydra itself drastically, the aftermath of the invasion had the presence and the core mission of Hydra inside S.H.I.E.L.D. in crucial jeopardy, due to the artificial intelligence Ultron had found out about the secrets and lies Hydra has been keeping since the latter has infiltrated the peace-keeping organization during Operation Paperclip, and because of it, Ultron had all those files duplicated and decrypted, sending it to Hank Pym and Tony Stark, before his timely selfless death just to save the fate of the universe from the hands of Loki's mysterious benefactor. With those files, they were also designated to be released into the public, something that Ultron had intentionally done as an act to expose the lies S.H.I.E.L.D. was not even aware of yet.

Though most of Hydra's superiors and sleeper agents somehow felt alerted and too panicked now that their existence would eventually be exposed in the next few days, Zola was the only one among the high council who was able to come up with a back-up plan for their next protocol, using the recent dilemma they've just encountered to their own advantages. With it, Zola had already prepared to execute the secret algorithm he has written and formulated as a last resort, in preparation for the "war" that he has always been expecting to arrive soon. While the others among Hydra had assumed that they were expecting a war against S.H.I.E.L.D. that is so great and so destructive, Zola had accurately proposed that they would actually be facing a war so "secret," the whole world wouldn't even know it would occur in the first place.

Facing the Avengers
Only a few days after the victory of the Avengers over the Chitauri Conflict when Pym and Stark had first discovered the encrypted files left by Ultron, Zola decided to infiltrate into the active S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarriers as he proactively activated Project Insight. Thankfully, by the last second, Tony Stark was able to shut down the operation's protocol by reluctantly making all the Helicarriers had their targeting systems changed to fire on each other, causing to crash the vehicles into the ocean, costing the lives of those who were inside at the time, with the exception of Director Nick Fury, Agent Maria Hill, and a few others.

As a result of his destructive actions, Nick Fury, among selected S.H.I.E.L.D. members, decided to help the Avengers in taking down Hydra's re-emerging forces even without the awareness of the United Nations nor the U.S. Government, along with their sole mission of preventing the secret files from being exposed to the world in the next two days. In the following hours since Zola had appeared, more and more of Hydra's base of operations was eventually discovered and attacked by the Avengers, courtesy of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s assistance, confirming his theory regarding Hydra reluctantly waging a devastating secret war with the Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

Since Zola's consciousness has unlimited access within the cyberspace, he was able to provide easy passage into the agency for most of the Hydra sleeper agents around the world, finally igniting the anticipated secret war against the Avengers, and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s loyal forces, unleashing his own forces to combat the heroes and defend both their existence and legacy. For the next following day, the Avengers still triumphs over Hydra's forces overnight, despite the countless numbers of operatives who tried to stop them from exposing their secret bases and apprehending them to the authorities.

The Madbomb Incident
Eventually, Zola's main base of operations in Camp Lehigh was discovered and attacked by S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers on the beginning of the second day, only several hours before the files would go public, leading to his apparent defeat at their own hands, or so they thought. Zola then hysterically mocks Pym about Ultron, telling him that there was one thing that the artificial intelligence has never found out in those secret files. Cornered by the Nick Fury and Earth's Mightiest Heroes inside his main headquarters, Zola was about to launch his so-called last resort against them, only for the latter to be interrupted by the previously imprisoned Schmidt, who was reluctantly freed by Captain America, in hopes of helping them win against Zola.

Instead of activating Zola's algorithm, Schmidt has intently activated another operation protocol by the code-name of "Madbomb," much to Zola's horror upon realizing what his former leader just did. Unbeknownst to the heroes of New York, the Madbomb Protocol was a missile containing a mysterious, fatal biological weapon recently designed and created by Zola himself since the first contact has been made with the Chitauri, several days earlier. With no other way Zola could have undone Schmidt's actions, Zola could only stare at the sky in terror, with the heroes still clueless to know what would happen next. Iron Man then flies out of the camp and tries to chase down the missile as an immediate response, but his efforts on disarming it still failed nonetheless, causing for the missile to consequently crash on its designated target, the city of Newark.

As the missile drops at the middle of the city on a rainy day, approximately taking the lives of hundreds due to the explosive blast, before subsequently releasing the weapon, which was a mysterious "techno-virus" caused by a strange form of radiation called "fear rays." Out of the 277,140 people living within the city, 193,200 were unfortunately infected by the latter, rendering the selected population unbelievably insane within the next fifty minutes as the virus slowly fester on their own bodies, much to the sincerely terrified heroes on what exactly they should do next.
