They established a city in this dimension , K’un Lun , which became a center of enlightenment and encyclopedism . The Iron Fist was choose to act as protector of K’un Lun , and defender of the gateway .
Five of K’un Lun ’s adherent sought to pervert the city ’s teachings , search out the arcanum of immortality . The Elders of K’un Lun cast out these five , but were unaware that they had already learned how to stamp down destruction . These five , led by the fair sex known as Alexandra , were able-bodied to knock into the energy of Dragon , and make a “ substance ” that granted immortality from their bones . Using the hope of immortality to gain powerful allies on Earth , the five formed theYami no te – the Hand . The Hand would be responsible for countless atrocities over the millennium , and their quest for tartar bones would ofttimes lead to tragedy due to powerful releases of energy .

Hydra Allies with Nazism
In the 20th one C , Hydra used the rise of Nazism as an chance to advance power and influence . The most notable fig was Johann Schmidt , a scientist who believed the legends of Asgard were the key to ancient , advanced skill . He ingratiated himself within the SS , and in June 1934 took advantage of the Night of the Long Knives to take control of the Nazi ’s weapons testing programme in Kumersdorf .
Under Schmidt ’s leadership , Hydra pursued two avenues of research . Arnim Zola continued to develop innovative weapons systems , which Hydra on the Q.T. test during the Spanish Civil War . But Schmidt himself was more interested in attempts to create the perfect human , and became spellbound by the hypothesis of Dr. Abraham Erskine . When Erskine attempted to take flight Germany in September 1935 , Schmidt intercepted him , and forced him to cooperate with Hydra .
1940 turn up a turning point in the history of Hydra , with war now chide across Europe . British Intelligence steal footage of weapons testing in Guernica , sharing it with the United States ; this grounds carry the Strategic Scientific Reserve to train for outright war with Hydra , and they recruited genius industrialist Howard Stark . In November that yr , Schmidt forced Erskine to pursue human trials of his super - soldier blood serum , and was transformed intothe Red Skull . British Intelligence smuggled Erskine out of Germany before Erskine could be killed for his apparent failure .
In December 1941 , the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor squeeze the United States to finally record the Second World War . Only three month afterwards , though , Hydra ’s weapons programs receive a terrifying encouragement ; the Red Skull was finally able to turn up the Tesseract , the Space Stone , which had on the face of it been left on Earth by Odin .

Using Zola ’s news , the SSR launched a disabling hunting expedition against Hydra . do-or-die , the Red Skull used Tesseract engineering science to empower his Valkyrie bomber , and pilot it in a bombing run on the United States . Captain America steal on board , and the two superintendent - soldiers battled . The Red Skull was(apparently ) consume by the power of the Tesseract , while Rogers crashed the Valkyrie into the Greenland Ice Cap . Both Steve Rogers and the Red Skull were believed all in ; in reality , Rogers was left in suspend animation , while the Red Skull wastransported to the distant world of Vormir .
All that was left for the SSR was the swabbing up , and the last Hydra base to be have out was Reinhardt ’s Austrian headquarters . The Kree Obelisk became the SSR ’s first “ 0 - 8 - 4 ” ( object of unknown origin ) .

When the Second World War finally came to an end in September 1945 , Allied governing set about to consider what to do with Nazi scientists . In the United States , powerful political and military force crowd for “ Operation Paperclip , ” allow the best German scientists to be given a brisk offset in the U.S .. This allowed many of Hydra ’s best minds , including Arnim Zola , a chance to pass through the United States politics and intelligence Service . Hydra had learned that humans would resist any attempt to take their freedoms , so humanity would ask to surrender its exemption willingly . This reformed Hydra sought power and influence for control the direction of history .
In 1946 , SSR federal agent Peggy Carter prove herself when she exposed Stalin ’s most tightlipped undercover agent delegacy , Leviathan . The next year , she traveled to the SSR ’s novel Los Angeles office and bring an end to some unwise experiments with Zero topic . This call for a deep conspiracy known as the Council of Nine , who may have been loosely connect to Hydra . bolster by these and other successes , Carter became a particularly crucial figure in the SSR . In 1949 , she superintend grammatical construction of the SSR ’s secret headquarters , the Playground , and was place in charge of the base . Shortly after , the SSR was officially renamed S.H.I.E.L.D. , with Carter as the organisation ’s first theatre director .

" This would provide Hydra to infuse a topic with specific particles , grant them the properties of say particles . Whitehall believed the best subject would be multiply for this , and had a Hydra scholarly person undergo artificial insemination . finally , Pym Particles proved to be a deadened oddment ; when Pym learned S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were attempt to duplicate his engineering , he quit . Hydra alternatively turned their attention to the elementGravitonium , which had been theorized by Dr. Franklin Hall .
In December 1991 , Hydra learned that Howard Stark had in the end replicated the superintendent - soldier blood serum . They used the Winter Soldier to assassinate Stark and his wife , and recover sample of the serum . Hydra ’s experiments proved unsuccessful ; the subjects were dangerously unstable , and Hydra were pressure to empty the project and put them in cryogenic suspension . Whitehall ’s strategy , to breed and train the perfect test subject , seemed the right agency to go .
