CP74 Red Skull and Hydra Troopers

Johann Schmidt, also known as the Red Skull, is a conniving villain whose evil deeds span over generations. During the Second World War he sought any path to power he could find, with no regard to the evil it would require of him. He performed covert operations in the United States and led military campaigns in Europe, making him the archenemy of Captain America. Schmidt and Captain America’s final confrontation in the war left both men in suspended animation, and their rivalry continues into the modern age.

The villainous organization HYDRA has roots stretching back for many centuries, but most know of its modern incarnation under Baron Strucker and the Red Skull during the Second World War. From there it has become a globe-spanning terrorist organization bent on world domination. HYDRA cannot ever truly be destroyed, for “If one head is cut off, two more shall take its place.”
