Guide To HYDRA

[WOLFGANG VON STRUCKER]

A FOREWORD BY WOLFGANG VON STRUCKER

“Greetings, peasants of the World. I am Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker, Grand Imperator of Hydra and soon to be your Lord and Master. I am here to introduce this guide to you concerning one of the most misunderstood organizations in the world… HYDRA. Contrary to what your ill-mannered, uneducated, common, and badly dressed so-called ‘heroes’ want you to believe, Hydra is not an evil organization. On the contrary, dare I say, it is one of the most benevolent groups ever existed. Certainly more benevolent than S.H.I.E.L.D. and you know what I mean. The only desire Hydra has for you and the world is to be under one rule. A strong rule that will usher the world into everlasting peace and prosperity. A world that will take its rightful place in the universe. An utopia for all mankind… well, at least for those left standing…”

“It is to clear up these misunderstandings that we have created this guide for you, in the hope that you understand us a little better and you can see for yourselves what we are all about and maybe assist us -- even though you all are pathetically weak -- in accomplishing our lofty goals of one world united under my iron claw. I promise you, I can be merciful to those who are with us. Please, enjoy this little tour of what Hydra is…”

[WOLFGANG VON STRUCKER]

WHAT IS HYDRA?

The producers of this story called “Believe in Heroes“ -- ha! Silly name, but it will change once we win to “Believe in Hydra” -- say that we are the ‘bad guys’ and the main threat in the story. Although I do agree that we are the main threat for those pathetic little losers that call themselves heroes, I have to disagree with the term ‘bad guys’. The only bad guys in this story are those who rather put up a useless and futile fight instead of embracing Hydra as the victor and kneel before our power. They are misguided in their thinking and because of that, they shall place the world in danger. The real bad guys: The ‘Avengers’, the Remnants, the disgusting mutants, the gaudy and boorish Asgardians (although there might be one or two who we can deem worthy of our friendship). Instead of knowing their role (which is to be surrender) and shut their mouth, they rather put up a fight… pathetic.

But I digress… The question of what is Hydra is a complicated one. Here is what the producers of this site wrote:

“HYDRA found its roots in the Third Reich Party (pathetic losers they were) under the leadership of Johann Schmidt and was built around a mixture of science and the occult, with an aim to use both to dominate and conquer the world (a sort of think tank that would produce advance weapons and super soldiers for the war). In the aftermath of World War II, and the disappearance of its leader, HYDRA seemed to enter a period of suspended animation, when in fact it was growing within the newly formed S.H.I.E.L.D the entire time, under the control of Wolfgang Von Strucker (me, by the way.)

A hostile takeover ensued, with S.H.I.E.L.D being overthrown, and HYDRA standing triumphant among the ruins. The aftermath of the S.H.I.E.L.D Civil War saw the group being branded as terrorists, with the world at large believing Director Nick Fury to be dead (and good riddance to bad rubbish), and the likes of Steve Rogers (ugh!), Natasha Romanoff (Russian trollop!) and Maria Hill (we hate her sooo much!) being branded as traitors (they should be branded with a hot cattle prod!). They form the remnants of S.H.I.E.L.D, (for all the good that will do to them) and are currently striving to amass followers in order to launch a counter offensive, all the while placing what remains of the organization's loyal followers behind the scenes (good luck with that!).

However, HYDRA quickly gained a quick and firm foothold on the resulting chaos, planting their agents within several positions of power across the globe, and wiping the slate clean as it were. To the world at large, S.H.I.E.L.D stands unbranded and fully operational. In place of Nick Fury is another director, with a majority of the organization's agents continuing to work unbeknownst for HYDRA, while those renegade agents, the ones regarded as the remnants of S.H.I.E.L.D, are being systematically hunted down.

With a new director in place, HYDRAS.H.I.E.L.D (who came up with this stupid name? I bet it was that Russian strumpet!) has managed to extend its reach. Through technological and political means, the mutant population and other enhanced individuals remain under observation. Project Insight is armed to target any undesirables on the spot, and the revival of the original Mutant Registration Act to form the basis of the Superhuman Registration Act sees the group poised to either control or cut off what remains of S.H.I.E.L.D's resources, namely the Avengers Initiative. Baron Von Strucker (I am awesomesauce…) has left his subordinates to focus on the mutants and superhumans, whether that involves exploiting or disposing of them, the HYDRA leader cares little. He has other plans. (Oh yes I do… I do… I do)”

Now, this is an over simplistic view of what we are, I can tell you that much. We are much more than this. Like the mythological creature we derived our name from, if you cut one head, another springs out to replace it. Imagine, if you will, a disease, embedded inside the body of society, taking hold of every organ in the body and you cannot remove us without killing the body as a whole. That is us. Our greatest achievement, the control of S.H.I.E.L.D. from its very inception, is evidence of that. And we have a plan…

[WOLFGANG VON STRUCKER]

MEMBERS

Our organizational chart is quite simple, there is yours truly, Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker, otherwise knows as the Grand Imperator, and Kassandra Wulf, the Grand Empress, Goddess of Death, Commander of the Shadows, Real power behind HydraShield, Lady Hydra, and any other title I can come up with.

Then, the rest of Hydra… they are not important.

GOALS

Anyway, the most simple explanation concerning our goals is, we want to unite the world under one rule… mine, with my Kassandra at my side. If you step back and consider things objectively, it is not a bad thing. We will get rid of Mutants and Superhumans -- whom the world at large distrust -- and strive to stop conflict. We will provide security and prosperity for those who are left in the world, under our guidance. Are these goals not lofty and honorable? As you see, we are thinking of you. Peasants need to be ruled with a firm hand, so who better than us, who are above you?

To achieve these beautiful goals, we have several plans in the works. The first phase, taking complete control of S.H.I.E.L.D., have been achieved. They have now a Director that is one of us, my Empress and goddess of Death Kassandra, also keeping an eye on things and flushing out the biggest threats for us inside S.H.I.E.L.D., pesky Romanoff, Hill, Fury, and Captain Vermin… I mean… America. Oh, I am sure there might still be one or two fools inside the agency, thinking they could do something to us, but they are nothing. We spit on them.

Phase two is underway. We are moving through the corridors of power all over the World to bring back the most glorious achievement of humanity after myself and Kassandra… the Registration Act. Originally, an idea of that idiot Senator Kelly, now we have taken it and expanded it to encompass every single person with Mutant or Supernatural abilities. I shall leave Kassandra explain that in depth. Now.. you might say… why all the fuss? Well, dear peasant, I shall explain. Having those people registered will help us on…

Phase three. We have in our possession three valuable things that would be used for the endgame of our plan: A nice and glowy Scepter (or more importantly, its power), a mutant that goes by the silly name of Scarlet Witch and… me. Once the Superhumans and Mutants are registered under the new Registration Act, we shall commence Phase three. With the power of the Scepter enhancing my ‘abilities’ (oh, did I not tell you? I have something that is called the Deathspores) and with Wanda manipulating outcomes and realities, we will target each and every mutant and superhuman in the world, because that is how we roll and we will have their information thanks to the Registration Act. Basically a repeat, on a bigger scale, of the Project I.N.S.I.G.T.H. scenario. You might say… on a biblical scale.

There is also another asset in our plan that we are currently pursuing. There is, you see, a pretty yet common scientist by the name of Jane Foster. Somehow, this pathetic little thing managed to open portals to other realms during that Convergence thing in London a few months ago. Currently, she is working in HydraShield (stupind name!) and I am going to fund her research until she manages to create stable portals. This will help us not only reaching the whole world with my Deathspores, but also to attack Asgard with it, as a pre-emptive strike. Like telling them and the other realms: “Don’t even think of interfering with us.” Elegant, is it not?

Now there is one Asgardian in particular we will like to have a word with. This Loki I have been hearing much about. According to our information, Loki hates everything Asgard and shares our views that you all are pathetic little creatures who need to be put in your place. So Loki, if you read this guide… we are dying to talk to you.

What does the Deathspores do? Well, on a normal human, they are fatal. But on Mutants and Superhumans they only weaken them long enough for them to be extremely vulnerable. We are working on ways to increase the power so they could completely wipe out Superhuman and Mutant’s abilities, making them easy targets when we launch a coordinated attack with our troops and finally take over.

Where does, in this masterful plan, HydraShield comes in? I shall let my beloved and soon to be your Empress Kassandra Wulf to explain it… Kassandra?

[KASANDRA WULF]

WHAT IS HYDRAS.H.I.E.L.D?

HYDRAS.H.I.E.L.D, to use the term that Russian fotze undoubtedly coined, is what continues to live on in the eyes of the general public as 'S.H.I.E.L.D'. Following a takeover that those peasants viewed as hostile, HYDRA seized control of S.H.I.E.L.D, an act that resulted in the government branding the organisation and its agent's traitors. However, we managed to do away with that rather ridiculous accusation, placing our cohorts in positions of influence across the globe, and putting ourselves back in a position of stable power.

Now we work under a new director, and while my baron takes on the political sphere, I have my sights firmly set on those remaining that oppose us; a certain Russian trollop, a man in a tight spangly uniform, and a hateful little brunette who it is said currently works for Stark Industries. They are all that stands between us and HYDRA's prosperity, while what is left of S.H.I.E.L.D continues to unwittingly and loyally serve us - or so they should.

Phase Two, as suggested by mein lieber, is currently the main focus of HYDRAS.H.I.E.L.D, and currently in the progress of gripping the superhuman and mutant population. The Superhuman Registration Act, which has come to be more simply known by the acronym SRA, is the brainchild of the Mutant Registration Act that was being pushed by the government several years previous, most predominantly by the insipid Senator Robert Kelly - may he rest in peace, all the same.

Upon finding that this legislative bill lacked in every degree of the imagination, HYDRAS.H.I.E.L.D decided to broaden it to incorporate all advanced beings that pose a threat, which is all of them, in case you are not aware. This act will require all advanced beings to register with the government, so that their powers can be regulated for the good of the general population. The Avengers, as a branch of S.H.I.E.L.D, will be expected to support this measure, if they truly think themselves to be the shining examples of safeguarding the people.

The government will then monitor the individuals gracious enough to do what is right by the very people they are constantly aiming to protect, and use that detailed list of advanced beings to keep them in line. Out of the goodness in our hearts, we may even offer them employment under us. However, those that don't register, and don't comply, including members of the Avengers Initiative... will be dealt with, simply put. If you think being branded as traitors to the public is a terrible fate, HYDRA will make you wish a simple branding was all you had to fear.

A.I.M., Advanced Idea Mechanics, is a branch of HYDRA created by my baron during the events of World War II, and we have tasked them with the duty of crushing those unwilling to submit to our rule. A.I.M. has recently learned of the Sentinel Program, which was in its infancy during the first calls for regulation of the mutant population that entailed the creation of machines to target those genetically embedded with the 'X-Gene' - an affectionate term for the branding of those freaks of nature.

During World War II, A.I.M. was responsible for the creation of the weaponry utilized by us, and in this regard they have truly outdone themselves in recent months. They are currently in the process of furthering the Sentinel Program beyond the blueprints, utilizing scraps from the aptly named Destroyer machine found in the New Mexico desert the last time those megalomaniacs decided to wreak havoc on our home.

However, the design for the Sentinels has not just been improved upon in this respect. A.I.M. is also working on enhancing them with sensors capable of detecting a superhuman or mutant signature, and storing this information in their memory banks. Utilizing this new technology, the Sentinels could even serve as a remedy for those beings unwilling to submit to the SRA for the benefit of all humankind. However, the pesky little mutant scum have started to develop a tendency toward targeting our A.I.M. facilities as of late.

My baron shall take things from here...
