HYDRA (Framework)

"When no one would tell us the truth, HYDRA stepped forward. They brought us law and order. Purpose! They galvanized us. For the good of the state over individual interests. They... Yeah, Burnell." "But sir, isn't it true that HYDRA came from Nazis?" "That's not true. Never say that."

- Phil Coulson and Burnell HYDRA is a virtual recreation of the real-world organization of the same name inside the Framework.

History
Using knowledge obtained from the Darkhold, Holden Radcliffe and Aida redesigned the Framework to create a virtual reality where HYDRA dominated the world.

The history of the virtual HYDRA followed the history of the real-world HYDRA up until S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mission in Bahrain, where Melinda May saved Katya Belyakov instead of killing her.

As a result of May's actions, S.H.I.E.L.D. brought Katya back to the United States, where her abilities of sensory manipulation caused a massacre at a school in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The massacre and the subsequent shutdown of S.H.I.E.L.D. led to HYDRA revealing itself to the world before conquering the entire planet, creating a fascist new world order.

At a certain point, HYDRA organized a parade to celebrate Felix Blake and his Humans First advocacy. Among the attendees were Madame Hydra, Leopold Fitz, Sunil Bakshi, and General Daniel Whitehall.

Behind the Scenes

 * The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Agents of HYDRA arc has featured several parallels between the Framework version of HYDRA and current, :
 * The Cambridge Incident was used by HYDRA as a justification for hunting down Inhumans, similar to how the anti-immigration is used to potentially reduce the risk of terrorist attacks.
 * In What If..., Phil Coulson lectures Burnell on separating fact from innuendo. He later criticizes the information put out by The Bakshi Report as "" in All the Madame's Men.
 * In Identity and Change, Leo Fitz declares that he and his HYDRA troops will "make our society great again". This is an obvious reference "", Trump's slogan during his.
