How possible would it be for a crazy virologist to create and spread a superbug/epidemic like the Zika virus? Or really any serious virus that would cause a bunch of problems.
Is it even possible?

Wow interesting. I always thought Anthrax was a chemical agent like mustard gas or cyanide. I'll read up on this.
Pretty stupid of me to think people haven't attempted this before

I seriously doubt there are people smart enough and dedicated enough to go through an entire field of science to cause a serious outbreak. Even the unibomber failed miserably and he was a genius.
This is just a thought experiment

>On a CNN news broadcast in 2011, the CNN chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, weighed in on the American government’s recent approach to bioterrorist threats. He explains how, even though the United States would be better fending off bioterrorist attacks now than they would be a decade ago, the amount of money available to fight bioterrorism over the last three years has begun to decrease. Looking at a detailed report that examined the funding decrease for bioterrorism in fifty-one American cities, Dr. Gupta stated that the cities “wouldn’t be able to distribute vaccines as well” and “wouldn’t be able to track viruses”. He went on to say that movie portrayals of global pandemics, such as Contagion, were actually quite possible and may occur in the United States under the right conditions

I'd imagine if someone could create a virus that spreads easily and is also fatal with a long enough incubation period (a lot of boxes to check) all it would take is for them to drop it off in an airport and we'd all be fucked.

Look into Vozrozhdeniya Island .
There was a nice thread about Biological weapons on /k/.
The facts state that we dont know what we have as of right now,last data is 20 years ago and is like comparing a modern PC to a 486.
To answer your question yes it is possible.

Its actually way harder to spread then one wold imagine.
I would suggest few books for you guys if you want to know why but dont know if you are just all trolling or seriously want to look into it
Andrew Murphy
On this subject very nice talk from the leader of the Russian second bioweapons program himself now working in Texas ofc.
