Hydra (comics)



"Hydra? Well, that sucks. This is one terrorist organization that's seen in some American comic books that Marvel Comics made this for the late Stan Lee himself as an allusion to a Lernaean Hydra, which is a mythical monster. Its motto says about the myth of itself to state that if a head is cut off, then two more would takes its place, and it could mean that resilience and growth of strength would be in the face of resistance, which sucks. Now what?"

--Su Ji-hoon, Cutting Off the Hydra's Heads
