Hydra (Comic Book) | comment |
Hydra is a fictional subversive organization in the Marvel Universe. It first appeared in Strange Tales #135 (August 1965), created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. It served as the rival organization to S.H.I.E.L.D.. The name is not an acronym but rather a reference to the mythical Lernaean Hydra. The organization's motto references the myth of the Hydra, stating that "if a head is cut off, two more will take its place" proclaiming their resilience and growing strength in the face of resistance. Hydra agents often wear distinctive green garb featuring a serpent motif.Hydra is a criminal organization dedicated to the achievement of world domination through terrorist and subversive activities on various fronts, resulting in a fascist New World Order. Its extent of operations is worldwide, always attempting to elude the ongoing counter-espionage operations by S.H.I.E.L.D. Hydra is funded by Baron Strucker's personal fortune, based on his recovered hoard of Nazi plunder from World War II, and funds established by the original leaders of the Japanese secret society that became Hydra.The organization is usually run with behind-the-scenes direction by Baron Strucker, alias Supreme Hydra. Under him is a central ruling committee; under them are individual division chiefs, and under them are the rank and file members and special agents.In order to become a member of Hydra, an individual must be a legal adult willing to submit to a thorough investigation of the applicant's personal background and to swear a death-oath of loyalty to Hydra and its principles. | |

Ripped from the Headlines | |
Hydra (Comic Book) / int_1616e13 | comment |
Ripped from the Headlines: The organization's history as a mutual aid society for fugitive Nazis that evolved into an international terrorist group bears a distinct resemblance to the ODESSA and Otto Skorzeny's Paladin Group. Similarly, their 2012 revamp as a grassroots group dedicated to fighting the depredations of global neoliberal capitalism probably has something to do with recent failings of the same. | |

Offscreen Villain Dark Matter: The only way to explain how the organization affords its many, many bases. Secret Warriors retconned this into having two of the largest conglomerates in the world working for them. Their accumulated assets is said to be around six hundred billion dollars. Strucker has alien technology so this is less questionable than it sounds. Before 'Secret Warriors, a storyline in Comicbook/Wolverine'' had Strucker's wife, Elsbetrh von Struker, as the fabulously wealthy funder of the organization. | |

Characterization Marches On: Or goals and origin stories do, at any rate. In their first appearance, they're a generically SPECTRE-like organization run by "a nondescript businessman." They're soon reinvented as The Remnant, an organization of former Axis war criminals who survived World War Two and are trying to restore a fascistic regime. Then, they're reinvented as an Ancient Conspiracy from the dawn of mankind, responsible for a number of terrible things throughout history, of which fascism is only one of the latest. | |

Those Wacky Nazis: Their original incarnation. The modern organization has no racial agenda, accepting members from all nationalities. One snarky but likely explanation is: "You can't sell toys of Nazis." In Captain America: The First Avenger they stand-in for Nazis as the main menace, probably to allow the film to show where such references are forbidden. This also happened in some Marvel cartoons as well. | |

Ancient Conspiracy: Revealed to be this in Secret Warriors. The original Hydra secret society was more interested in achieving immortality than world domination.

The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. variant turns out to have been founded in order to worship an ancient Inhuman named Hive. | |

Hydra (Comic Book) / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Baron Strucker's reaction to discovering Andreas Strucker had been killed by Norman Osborn when asking for a favor? "Okay, that's two favors I owe you." (Andy got better though, see Cloning Blues). | |

A Nazi by Any Other Name | |
Hydra (Comic Book) / int_c2288824 | comment |
A Nazi by Any Other Name: Hydra started off as an actual Nazi organization during World War II which became independent when the actual Nazis, well, lost. When your founders are Nazis it's no stretch that your organisation end up Nazi-like. (As revealed in Captain America: Hail Hydra and Secret Warriors, Hydra actually let the Nazis think that, but are actually older. Still, they saw the Nazis as having compatible goals, and still have evidence of that connection.) | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive | |
Hydra (Comic Book) / int_cbe687ab | comment |
Corrupt Corporate Executive: Literally, with the (temporary) Corporate Hydra branch. Hydra is revealed to have still been involved in this with two major megacorporations under its control in Secret Warriors. Later, Ms. Marvel contended with Hope Yards Development Relocation Association, that has the relatively modest goal of Villainous Gentrification. | |

Legion of Doom | |
Hydra (Comic Book) / int_dcb2305f | comment |
Legion of Doom: Not really but a surprising number of Marvel villains have either worked for or with HYDRA over the years: Baron Strucker, Baron Zemo, the Kingpin, Richard Fisk, Madame Hydra, the Serpent Society, Crossbones, the Red Skull, Deadpool, Gorgon, Fenris, a brainwashed Wolverine, the Hand, AIM, Richard Nixon (!!) through the Secret Empire, Don Fortunato, The Thunderbolts (without the majority of members knowing), Norman Osborn, and so on. Spider-Woman also started out as a HYDRA agent, until she was set straight by Nick Fury. And now we got Captain friggin' America on their team. During Secret Warriors, they gain a leading council, with Strucker at the top, then Madame Hydra, Viper, the Hive, Kraken and Gorgon. For a single storyline in the 1970s, Hydra was revamped with an inner council made up entirely of supervillains, including the Fixer, Mentallo, Man-Killer, Commander Kraken, Blackwing, and El Jaguar as division heads. | |

Ghostapo / Stupid Jetpack Hitler: A weird example as modern Hydra has all of this but is not a Nazi successor organization, having originated as an ancient Egyptian cult called the Brotherhood of the Spear. Hydra itself had a version of this with their Department of Occult Armaments in the 1990s Midnight Sons titles, though the D.O.A. never amounted to much. | |

Enemy Civil War: A frequent problem. Hydra are notorious for schisms and violent internal power struggles, but being devoted to the Fuhrer-principle and having no real ideology beyond "Take Over the World"note Of COURSE! will do that. | |

Depending on the Writer: For a time, they were subject to some severe Villain Decay, occasionally portrayed as simple generic terrorists of the week, not even worth fussing about. After Secret Warriors (and then their appearances in the MCU) this has fallen by the wayside. | |
