According to Garrett's memory, Baron Streike was active during World War II, a master swordsman and marksman, and an existence of the same level as the Red Skeleton. He was killed by accident with a spore bomb.
Later, through the efforts of the Hydra scientists, he was revived and had a powerful body and various abilities. He also continued his research on superpowers, capturing and manufacturing many Hydra warriors with superpowers.
In addition to the Hive and Baron Strake, the Hydra organization has many formidable figures, such as the Hydra Queen and Baron Zemo.
Yes, here Baron Zemo is not the same as the Major Zemo in the film, but one of the top Hydra officials during World War II, at the same level as Baron Strake and the Red Skull.
In addition to these senior officials, Hydra also has scientists like Zola, List and Faust.
Zola is also different from the one in the movie. In the movie, Zola was diagnosed with late-stage terminal illness in 1972 and had his consciousness transferred into a giant computer of the same era, which was then placed inside a hidden facility of S.H.I.E.L.D. in New Jersey.
However, in this world, Zola transferred his consciousness into a robot's body and can move freely and conduct scientific research. Garrett has also seen him.
It is precisely because he has seen Zola that he firmly joined Hydra, believing that Hydra can modify his body.
"A lot stronger than in the movie, but it's just so-so."
The Hydra in this world is much stronger than what he knows, but for George, it doesn't amount to much at present.
No big threat.
"How about it?"
Seeing George in deep thought, Black Widow took a step forward.
George snapped back to reality and smiled:
"They really are Hydra agents who have been sending intelligence to Hydra all along, which is why you were ambushed and attacked."
After speaking, he paused for a moment and continued:
"Although they only remember themselves as Hydra agents, just in case, I need to check your memories again."
"No problem, let's start with me."
Coulson stepped forward.
George did not hesitate, immediately using his powers to read Coulson's mind and begin rapidly scanning his memories.
Coulson's upbringing was not particularly complicated. He had always been a fan of superheroes and worshiped Captain America. He first joined the Army Rangers, later the S.H.I.E.L.D., and followed Nick Fury ever since.
However, it was precisely this uncomplicated experience that made George suspicious.
"What's going on? Where is Captain Marvel?"
In Coulson's memories, there was no mention of Captain Marvel or the Skrulls.
According to the movie, when Coulson was young and followed Nick Fury, he had interacted with Captain Marvel and the Skrulls, although the duration was not long. It shouldn't be that he has no memory at all.
"Could it be... that this universe really doesn't have Captain Marvel!"
This is not the movie universe, and there is no requirement that Captain Marvel must exist.
So Nick Fury did not use a Skrull imposter, not because of an accident, but because there was no Skrull imposter at all.
He also doesn't have that beeper to call up Captain Marvel.
"This universe is becoming increasingly complicated."
In fact, this is not a good thing for George.
It's not that Hydra has become stronger and might pose a threat to him, or that the absence of Captain Marvel means there will be one less powerful ally in the future against Thanos.
It's not that Hydra has become stronger and might pose a threat to him, or that the absence of Captain Marvel means there will be one less powerful ally in the future against Thanos. Rather, these changes mean that this universe may have many different aspects from the movie universe.
This means that the judgments he made based on the original plot will be greatly inaccurate.
George had previously thought that his current strength was already quite strong, and it would only increase when Thanos came to Earth. At that time, he might have thought that Thanos and his cosmic army wouldn't amount to much in his eyes.
However, it seems that he may have been overly simplistic in his thinking.
He hasn't read Marvel comics, but he's not completely unfamiliar with them. If Thanos who comes is not the Infinity Stones, but a Universe Heart, then that would be disastrous.
"It seems we can't let our guard down!"
At this moment, George's heart tightened again. He needs to work harder to improve his strength.
After examining Coulson's memories, he quickly scanned through the memories of Black Widow and the rest of the team. Everyone else was a loyal S.H.I.E.L.D. agent with no Hydra spies in their ranks.
"With this, Nick Fury is truly gone."
George originally thought that Nick Fury should be able to come back.
Because of the Captain Marvel incident, Nick Fury obtained Kree blood and developed the GH-325 drug, which can bring people back from the dead. However, it has significant side effects, and the main responsible person is Coulson.
In the TV series, Coulson was resurrected by Nick Fury using the GH-325 drug.
However, it seems that it's no longer possible to bring him back. Without Captain Marvel, there can be no Kree, and therefore no GH-325.
He's dead, and it's not a bad thing for George.
Nick Fury is too controlling, doesn't have the ability to handle everything, and likes to control everything in his hands. Although his intentions are good at heart, it's inevitable that he will target him.
It would be better if Coulson's people were in charge.
"George, more people are coming!"
At this moment, Professor X transmitted the image he had telepathically sensed to George's mind.
Armored Hydra soldiers with energy rifles slid down from helicopters with the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo above them, flying over the area where the school is located.
It was obviously because Garrett and Grant could no longer send messages, and the Winter Soldiers tracking them had not found any trace of the disappeared Black Widow and others.
So Hydra decided to stop hiding and conduct a comprehensive search and attack.
"The tanks have moved out, it seems S.H.I.E.L.D. is completely under the control of Pierce."
In addition to the armored helicopters and a large number of Hydra soldiers, George also saw tanks appearing nearby.
At the same time, through the surveillance in the grand conference room, everyone also noticed Hydra's movements.
"Coulson, S.H.I.E.L.D. is finished, Hydra is far stronger than you can imagine, surrender now."
Join us, with my recommendation, you can achieve a position far higher than what you have now in S.H.I.E.L.D.
In the future, when Hydra unifies the world, we can even give you a small country's territory. By then, you'll be the king of that small country, and you can do whatever you want."
Garrett saw the Hydra army on the screen and immediately urged Coulson.
And Coulson turned his head towards Hawkeye:
"Does your arrowhead that can discharge electricity still work? I want to give him a shock, while watching the screen and watching him drool on the ground due to loss of control over his body."
As a fan of Captain America, Coulson joined S.H.I.E.L.D. to protect the world's lofty ideals.
