Hydra is a renegade military organization led by the Red Skull who is obsessed with harnessing magical artifacts in his bid to take over the world. Additionally, Hydra is the advanced science branch for the Third Reich, in Germany during World War II.

They were decimated in the course of a protracted land war with "The Allies", a military alliance which included the United States and the rest of the world.

However, in recent times they have returned to active status. Nick Fury; head of international peacekeeping organization S.H.I.E.L.D.; is worried about their level of technology, which they mostly received from the Advanced Idea Mechanics, which it stole most of its advanced technology from Stark Industries.

Project Genesis
Using an algorithm created by Zola, Hydra activated a weapon known as Genesis that could drop a Tungsten rod with a force equivalent to a nuclear bomb which Red planned on using for his quest for world domination. Red Skull then forced the President of the United States to give him access to the United States's nuclear arsenal as part of his plan. By now most of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s agents had been assassinated by The Winter Soldier and with other assassinations spearheaded by Crossbones and launched by The Chameleon, who was impersonating President of United States.

Once The Chameleon (still disguised as the President) was able to destroy the world's leaders nuclear arsenals, he revealed the Genesis weapon and described their power as being similar yet also different from a nuke, as the explosives aren't launched; but dropped. Red Skull then entered the meeting room and ordered his soldiers to drop a Tungsten rod on the eastern part of Europe. As the world leaders were about to surrender to the Hydra, Maria Hill, Black Widow and Hawkeye immediately began killing off Hydra soldiers, forcing Red Skull to order all other Genesis Hellicarriers to fire on their designated targets, also ordering Crossbones to protect the command briefcase for them but was quickly defeated by Agent John Walker.

Nick Fury and Black Widow managed to finish off the last of the Hydra soldiers while Red Skull escaped via helicopter before he could be captured as the Helicarriers self-destructed, ending Hydra's plan. And the real President of the United States reclaimed his position.|Equipment = *Various conventional and advanced technology equipment
