His body is literally composed of tens of thousands of bees, centred around his nerve-wrapped skeleton. The electrostatic field generated by the bees allows the skeleton to move like a normal figure. However, despite the typical form, his body is extremely protean, as it moves in elements of the swarm. He sees through the eyes and senses of the swarm, making him impossible to surprise. He can approximate human speech by controlling the 'buzz' of the bees composing his body, producing a clear, if somewhat wavery, voice. See his individual page for more details.

At first, it appeared that Strucker would strip everything from them, until he set eyes on their then 13 year old daughter. Instead, they entered into a devil’s pact; in exchange for allowing them to keep their title and enough of their business interest to ensure a reasonable regular stipend, Valentina would be put through careful schooling and isolated so at 17, she would become Strucker’s mistress in a pure state. They agreed, and she entered Strucker’s fold four years later. However, Valentina proved to be as ruthless as her master, arranging for her parents' ‘accidental’ deaths, and carefully extricating herself from being forced to please the old man. Instead of being slighted, Strucker encouraged her attempts, and eventually worked with her to support her persona as the anti-Strucker stalking horse in the [[Hellfire Club|HFC]] world.

Having idolized his former boss, Johann Schmidt as a kind of ultimate Aryan, Strucker had a desire to merge his own bloodline with Schmidt’s in a literal sense. Synthia was grown using Johan Schmidt’s genetic material, but fully optimized to provide a perfect Aryan specimen. Strucker intention was to combine his own DNA with Schmidt’s by using Synthia as the receptacle of his sperm once she reached puberty. Unfortunately for his plan, [[Operation: Don't Leave Me With The Germans|X-Force dropped his lab on him in 2006]], and she was treated as an extraneous part of the Strucker empire. In the midst of all of it, she’s schemed, planned, and treaded water to keep her position until opportunities appeared. Her decision to warn [[X-Force]] comes from her decision that X-Force represents the best tools against the other members of HYDRA and to usurp them. The rise of the Red Skull has meant she has found herself treated as his true ‘daughter’.

HYDRA was a Nazi terrorist/military organization bent on world domination. It was founded by Johann Schmidt shortly after Hitler’s ascension to power in Germany, as the scientific branch of the Nazi Schutzstaffel. Its main purpose was to create advanced weaponry for the German military, but over time, members of HYDRA became loyal only to Schmidt himself. At the beginning of World War II, HYDRA still fought for the Nazi cause, but in 1943, Schmidt separated HYDRA from Nazi Germany to start his own conquest.

Details

Phase 2

HYDRA was a Nazi terrorist/military organization bent on world domination. It was founded by Johann Schmidt shortly after Hitler’s ascension to power in Germany, as the scientific branch of the Nazi Schutzstaffel. Its main purpose was to create advanced weaponry for the German military, but over time, members of HYDRA became loyal only to Schmidt himself. At the beginning of World War II, HYDRA still fought for the Nazi cause, but in 1943, Schmidt separated HYDRA from Nazi Germany to start his own conquest.

HYDRA appeared to have been dismantled by Captain America and his Howling Commandos in 1945, with the death of Schmidt at the Captain’s hands, followed by the apparent death of the Captain himself during an emergency crash-landing of a HYDRA experimental weapon. After World War II ended, several HYDRA scientists, including Schmidt’s second-in-command Arnim Zola, were recruited by American agencies to work for the USA (and to deny their talents to the USSR). Zola eventually found himself at SHIELD, where he worked until his death in 1972. Unbeknownst to his handlers, Zola was able to continue his work for HYDRA under the auspices of SHIELD itself, even continuing his work on Project Winter Soldier and Project Black Widow for the Russians.

A 'new' terrorist group calling itself HYDRA came to the intelligence community’s attention in the late 1970s. It’s been found to have ties to several despotic regimes, many of them originally brought to power by American meddling (eg, the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pinochet in Chile). There is no direct evidence to connect this organization to the Nazi-era group, although most intelligence agencies assume so. The existence of this new HYDRA is not known to the public.

The new HYDRA is suspected to have several corporate fronts. One of them (the connection to HYDRA unestablished and unknown) is the pharmaceutical company McMannister and Pratt, which has headquarters in San Diego, Seoul, and Berlin. McMannister and Pratt specializes in gene therapy, with a particular interest in the nervous system and neurodegenerative diseases.

HYDRA is suspected to be behind the abduction and experimentation on David North, however no evidence was found beyond an interest in the Project SuperSoldier serum.
