User blog:Lover of the Muse/Ideas for the future of HYDRA

"We have slain a large dragon, but now we live in a jungle filled with a bewildering variety of poisonous snakes. And in many ways the dragon was easier to keep track of." - R. James Woolsey, 1993,

"Cutt off one head and two more shall take it's place"  -Hydra's motto

Following their defeat in season 3 of Agents of SHIELD most people believe that HYDRA is gone forever, they should know better. HYDRA can never die.After every defeat the organization mutates and comes back in a different form.

Since the Avengers won the Attack on HYDRA Research Base and ended the War on HYDRA, HYDRA will never again be a single monolithic organization. After this defeat the organization fragmented and several people probably had the idea to "remake HYDRA". Grant Ward and Gideon Malik could not have been the only ones.

Mitchell Carson likely represents or leads a third HYDRA faction which still exists and is still in possession of the Pym particles and could be building their own suits. I think that IGH in Jessica Jones could possibly be another surviving HYDRA cell, and that IGH is also responsible for the experiments in Seagate prison that ultimately gave Luke Cage his powers.

In 2017, with SHIELD shutdown again and the heroes still divided by the Sokovia accords and the world constantly becoming more unstable with new elements and threats emerging all the time, I can imagine dozens of new HYDRA groups emerging to take advantage of the chaos.

The different HYDRA factions would vary in stye, numbers, strength, and level of intelligence.

These HYDRA factions would vary greatly in terms of numbers, strength, intelligence, and style. This blog is something I will update continiously whenever I come up with a new idea for the future of HYDRA.
