HYDRA is a fictional terrorist organization in the Marvel Universe.
Despite the name's capitalization per Marvel's official spelling,[citation needed] the name is not an acronym but rather a reference to the mythical Lernaean Hydra. The organization's motto references the myth of the Hydra, stating that "if a head is cut off, two more will take its place" proclaiming their resilience and growing strength in the face of resistance. HYDRA agents often wear distinctive green garb featuring a serpent motif.
