History:
(Captain America I#442 (fb) - BTS) - Zona Rosa was one of several South American superhumans slain by Zeitgeist, who took a picture of each one's death before stabbing them in the chest with his sword.

(Captain America I#442) - Schutz Heiliggruppe set up a temporary base in Buenos Aires to investigate the serial killings of numerous South American heroes and villains -- Blitzkrieger was looking over photographs of Zona Rosa and the others, when he was killed by Zeitgeist as well.

Comments: Created by Mark Gruenwald, Dave Hoover, Sandra Floreau and Danny Bulanadi.

I guess Zona Rosa  is supposedly in that group of photographs laying on the desktop (see main image), but she was never otherwise depicted anywhere else--other victims apparently seen in the photos: Captain Forsa, Defensor, El Condor, La Bandera, Machete (Ferdinand Lopez), and Ojo Macabra.
--Ron Fredricks

Zona Rosa is named for a city in Mexico.

Zona Rosa is Portuguese for "Pink Zone".
--Snood

In Marvel Atlas#2, it was revealed that Zona Rosa was from San Diablo.

...and San Diablo was once ruled by the dictator known as the Executioner.
