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 .

Hydra Allies with Nazism

In the 20th one C , Hydra used the rise of Nazism as an chance to advance power and influence .

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 .

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 .

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 .
