History
On Earth-77105, Captain America and Bucky would foil Baron Zemo's plot to send a drone plane armed with a bomb to attack England and remain active during the war. For this failure, Zemo would be placed into suspended animation by the Red Skull for the next 20-30 years. Reviving in the 1960's, the somewhat insane Baron Zemo would found the terrorist organization Hydra, making all his subordinates wear hoods covering their faces. In order to keep his survival a secret, Zemo would take on the guise of the Supreme Hydra.
Hydra's terrorist activities would lead to President Johnson to form the spy agency SHIELD to combat their threat, selecting Bucky (now calling himself Buck) to be director of the organization. Buck and his fellow SHIELD comrades would battle Hydra over the years, and continue to do so when Steve Rogers would take over as director of SHIELD after he and Buck traded roles.
Steve later led a S.H.I.E.L.D. mission to Hydra's island stronghold. After finishing the initial group of Hydra agents outside their volcano base, Steve called in Captain America for back-up. Steve used a Stark anti-sonic gun that silently blasted open the door, and then he, Sharon Carter and Captain America overpowered a trio of Hydra agents, took their uniforms and infiltrated the base. However, Sharon was discovered as no women were allowed on Hydra base. The trio battled back the Hydra forces, but when Steve tried to grab the Supreme Hydra's new life-draining weapon, he activated it's booby trap, and a burst of electricity subdued the three heroes. They were bound and then confronted by the Supreme Hydra, whom Steve quickly recognized and identified as Zemo. Apparently maddened by his time in stasis, Zemo failed to recognize Steve's face, but he did realize that Buck's face was not that of the Captain America that he had fought decades before. Enraged, Zemo prepared to shoot the still-unconscious Buck, but Steve, still enhanced by the super-soldier serum even at age 50, broke free and punched Zemo. Buck and Sharon revived as Hydra forces rushed in, but Zemo turned and his hand weapon at Buck and fired, blasting him, though Buck pretended Zemo had missed and encouraged Steve to stop Zemo once and for all. Zemo, finally recognizing Steve's face, fled after taking another punch and when Steve hurled his old shield at him, Zemo fearfully buckled, and the shield struck Zemo's machinery (that which maintained the inert volcano's artificial magma to keep out intruders by making them think it was still active), and Zemo's body was buried by a sea of molten rock. In the battle's aftermath, Captain America (Buck) would also perish after taking a blast from Zemo's weapon. Hydra was dismantled shortly thereafter[1].
If Hydra will reform like it has in other realities remains unrevealed.Notes
