Biography[]

Early Life[]

Baron Wolfgang von Strucker was a nobleman of German and Prussian ancestry who allied himself with HYDRA in order to help further their goals of world domination. Ambitious, arrogant and harboring a particular distaste for the lower-class, Strucker quickly rose through HYDRA's ranks, becoming proficient in both combat and tactics. He was placed within S.H.I.E.L.D. ranks which by then had long been infiltrated by HYDRA's sleeper agents, many of which had been personally inducted into the organization on recommendation by Arnim Zola's computerized brain.

Leader of HYDRA[]

He had originally hoped that under the command of his subordinate Alexander Pierce, S.H.I.E.L.D. would have prospered and brought forth the perfect New World Order he and the Red Skull had long since desired. However, he soon began to realize that Pierce was more focused on waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike than acting immediately, and became unsatisfied by his continued waiting. Around the time of the Battle at the Triskelion, he openly deserted S.H.I.E.L.D. and revealed his true identity, taking control of HYDRA after Pierce's death.

Strucker's Fall[]

This proved to be his downfall as Nick Fury, his former partner within S.H.I.E.L.D.'s ranks, soon discovered his base of operations thanks to the help of Phil Coulson and Maria Hill, who then sent the Avengers after him, leading to his capture and imprisonment at NATO. Not long after he was locked away, he was savagely slaughtered by Ultron after telling the robot the location of one of his associates, Ulysess Klaue.

Return[]

With Strucker being dead, HYDRA agents planted inside NATO who were originally tasked with engineering his escape, took possession of the Baron's body. At the time HYDRA appeared to have been reduced to low-level cells leaving the several HYDRA operatives with little options as where to go. Fortunately for them, the Red Skull had been following their activities with the hopes of collecting Strucker's body. Not wanting any lose ends, the Red Skull had the men holding the body be killed since he did not no if he could trust them, and then the Skull took possession of the body.

Travelling back to his own base, the Red Skull had tasked Arnim Zola to repair Strucker's body while the Skull worried about how to re-spark his life force. After days of work, Arnim managed to place several cybernetic implants into Strucker's body and seal off most of his wounds. The Red Skull then used Kree DNA given to him by Thanos, to restart Strucker's system, and within minutes Strucker was revived. As apart of Strucker's cybernetic implants, Zola installed a neural component to block out the Kree's natural memories as to not affect Strucker's mind as it did with Phil Coulson. With Strucker once again alive, he was shocked upon meeting HYDRA's modern founder the Red Skull himself. The Skull explained that the reason he brought Strucker back was because he needed generals for the coming war, and that Strucker was said to one of modern HYDRA's finest. Strucker then pledged his loyalty to the Red Skull and follows him to this day.
