Talk:Hydra (comics)

message: In Batman#167, November 1964, the Earth-1 Batman and Robin faced a crime cartel called Hydra. This story, "Zero Hour For Earth" was reprinted in Showcase Presents Batman. The Earth-1 Batman opposed them in Holland, Greece, Switzerland and Singapore with CIA help. (Yes, the CIA was referred to by name.) They used the tip-off from Batman #62 about an apparently big man only wearing a disguise because a chair can support his weight. -- 23:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  DC Universe Hydra 

message: In issue #38 of Cable and Deadpool, the character of Bob was introduced.  In a breakage of the fourth-wall, it was mentioned that Fabian Nicieza was pitching him for a mini-series of his own.  I've added the character to the list of HYDRA members.  If the series isn't published, y'all can delete the line if you want. HXcGeek 08:12, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bob: Agent of HYDRA 

message: I cannot remember where I read this anymore, but I distinctly recall a comic about Hydra set in the past.  In it, was a Hydra member only refered to as Operative 128.  It was implied in this story that 128 was in actually Wolverine.  They didn't come right out and say it, but the intention was clear.  Anyone have something more solid on this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.66.146.104 (talk) 06:09, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

message: In the following interview, Christopher Yost says Nazis still exist in this cartoon, so should someone remove the note in the article about HYDRA replacing the Third Reich? http://www.medinnus.com/AEMH/yost_01.html 134.48.161.64 (talk) 16:27, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The end and/or replacement of the Third Reich doesn't mean that Nazis no longer exist. --Loremaster (talk) 16:37, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, he also says in the interview that Germany still became an Axis power.  Does that mean the Third Reich existed in this show? 134.48.161.64 (talk) 01:35, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

text: I think the idea that the HYDRA “replaced” the Third Reich simply means that HYDRA stopped being a mere tool of the Third Reich and actually became autonomous from, and even more powerful than, the Third Reich... --Loremaster (talk) 01:54, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That contradicts the interview, too; since Yost said HYDRA still worked for the Nazis! 166.137.141.249 (talk) 15:12, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

text: Not it doesn't. The point is that even though they still worked for the Nazis their autonomy and power was overwhelming. There are examples in the real world where the secret police of a government becomes so powerful that they unofficially replace the government in practice but not in name. --Loremaster (talk) 18:35, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe I'm blinded by my own interpretation, but could you please explain to me what exactly Christopher Yost said in the interview that makes you think this was one of those cases? 134.48.160.99 (talk) 19:08, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Earth's Mightiest Heroes 

message: I do not own Menance #10 nor the hardcover reprint, although it is on my wishlist.  The story appears in Crypt of Shadows #5, which I do own.  HYDRA is mentioned twice in the story, and there is nothing about it that differentiates it from HYDRA of the Marvel Universe.  I don't know if this bit was an edit to tie it into Marvel continuity (although in a horror reprint title, I'm not sure why) or if this was how the story was originally printed.--Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 18:41, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: And Marvel's official website, which is linked from the article and a better reflection of current editorial policy, specifically doesn't spell it in all-caps. --There are no names left (talk) 23:33, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not Marvel's official site. That's Marvel's official wiki. Wikipedia disallows user-submitted content, including wikia, to be used as references. That's the first part. Second, Wikipedia isn't subject to recentism; if the name has been spelled one way for over 40 years of comics, that's the way we spell it. Any recent and possibly temporary alternate spellings can be given in a properly cited footnote. --Tenebrae (talk) 04:21, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

text: I agree with Tenebrae for what it's worth. 76.232.28.105 (talk) 15:39, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

text: I wholeheartedly second Curly Turkey. When I saw that Hydra was in all capitals on Wikipedia, I assumed that by some retcon the name was now an acronym. If that's not the case, it should be "Hydra" on Wikipedia regardless of any official stylization.--NukeofEarl (talk) 18:31, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

text: Per WP:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle, when several days have passed without further discussion the proper course of action is to boldly edit again. If your bold edit is not reverted, then the issue is resolved; if it is reverted, then you've succeeded in getting the discussion going again. If someone repeatedly reverts your edit without participating in the discussion, then they are edit warring and may be reported to the Administrators' notice board.--NukeofEarl (talk) 14:25, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
