| Origin |
| Originally a group
brilliant scientists working for
HYDRA
during World War II, they like their leaders went into hiding after the war.
Resurfacing as an overt cartel dealing with the development
and marking of new technologies catering to the governments of the world -
their true motivations were unknown - the overthrow of those same
governments.
Eventually their motivations were exposed by
Colonel Nick
Fury and his agents of
S.H.I.E.L.D.,
but they once again went underground to strike at the world as the
scientists of A.I.M. |
