―Baron von Strucker to Captain America^[src]

Baron Wolfgang von Strucker was a Prussian noble and an oberleutnant in HYDRA. He confronted Captain America during the latter's mission to infiltrate Castle Zemo, but lost in a fight and was left unconscious while protecting an outpost.

Biography[]

Wolfgang von Strucker was born into a Prussian noble family. Eventually acquiring the title of Baron, he joined HYDRA during the rise of Nazism in Germany. Ambitious, arrogant and harboring a particular distaste for the lower-class, Strucker quickly rose through HYDRA, becoming proficient in both combat and tactics.

Strucker participated in the Nazi conquest of Europe, for which he was awarded with the Iron Cross First Class. Ruthless, cunning, and savage to his enemies, he was a strong and capable leader. He also became involved in Project Master Man, with the HYDRA documents intercepted by the Allied Strategic Scientific Reserve suggesting that he was pursuing development of advanced weaponry known as the “Satan Claw” for his personal use.

Captain America confronted Strucker in a tower in the mountains of Bavaria, where a radio dish controlling a powerful cannon was located. Rogers engaged Strucker in combat and after a deadly battle, managed to defeat him. However, the cannon lost control after the radio dish was destroyed and shot down the aircraft transporting the Invaders and, after they bailed out, the plane headed straight for the tower Strucker and Rogers were in. Strucker, in a last ditch attempt to take down Rogers, charged at him which sent both Rogers and Strucker flying off as the plane destroyed their battleground. As Rogers and Strucker free-fell off the tower, Strucker managed to knock out Rogers, but fell and laid on the ground unconscious, with HYDRA personnel saying that his recovery would take months.^[1]
