Edward Zachary Sunrose wrote: I believe I read somewhere that this is not Hydra, Leviathan, the Maggia or any other organization we've seen before, rather being an organization known in the comics as "The Council of 9" (and sometimes as "The Council of 12"). But yes, the lapel Dottie tried to steal had the same symbol as the meetinghall where we met the council, so there's definitely something there. Already confirmed that the organization is the Council of Nine, the MCU version of the Secret Empire from the comics. But the Secret Empire was connected to HYDRA so I think the symbol reflects that here.
