| abstract | - Hydra is a authoritarian terrorist-criminal-paramilitary organization bent on world conquest. It was founded thousands of years ago by a group of men who worshiped an Inhuman by the name of Hive and others like him as gods who would lead humanity into a divine future through chaos. These beings were removed from power by others of their kind, but each of their followers came together to form an organization bent to conquer the world in their name. So that when the gods return, they can rule it and lead Humanity into a divine future. Over the centuries, the cult evolved, taking many forms, with its most recent incarnation coming into existence shortly after the rise of Nazism in Germany under the leadership of Johann Schmidt as the scientific branch of the Nazi Schutzstaffel. During this time, the cult took on the name HYDRA, which has become the organization's most colloquial label. During World War II, Schmidt separated HYDRA from Nazi Germany to start his own conquest of the world, and it was during or before this time when HYDRA seemingly abandoned the cult's original beliefs. Converting from occultism, to draconian anti-freedom principles, HYDRA became an organization of a hell-bent nature that is dedicated to this newfound political doctrine.
