What are your opinions on the best possible Hydra theme team, of any point value? No lower than 300, but as high as you want to go... if all you had to go on was to make the best Hydra theme team you could muster, what would be your point cap and what would be the units chosen?

Swarm time!
90 DP103 Wolverine, Agent of Hydra
43 DP006 Hand Ninja
43 DP006 Hand Ninja
43 DP006 Hand Ninja
45 NFAOS046 Imperial Hydra
36 IC144 Elektra
300 Hydra

200 Red Skull
120 Baron Strucker
45 Imperial Hydra
70 Blackwing
50 Hydra Section Chief
25 (each) Hydra Field Agent x3
20 (each) Hydra Recruit x4
30 (each) Hydra Agent H x2
700 Points

Surround Red Skull with Hydra minions at all times, and Red Skull becomes unstoppable.
11 Range Mind Control w/ -3 to the targets defenses.
or 11 Range 6 Damage Precision Strike.

If they kill a Hydra minion. All Hydras get +1 to their stats, Red Skull (most likely) removes an action token, and Imperial Hydra calls in a replacement.

Mobility (Superman and Vision's ID Card) and a decent amount of fire power. Kingpin can enhance Winter Soldier and Mastermind to any character.

Red Skull will power up with the help of the Hydra Techs; Superman becomes an agent of Hydra thanks to Hive.

Call in another Winter Soldier via Bucky ID Card. 10 points left for an ATA or to add a Round Table and 1 card (SHIELD Level 7).

How exactly does Hive make Superman an agent of Hydra?

Most Successful I've seen is psychic Red Skull with 2 main set Dreadnoughts to carry him around and a bunch of support. Man-Killer is great for tying-up beatsticks and can switch from close/range attacks so she's worth it if there's room.

He has printed mind control, allowing supes to use his trait that makes him a minion of hive essentially, thus gaining hives key words.

That is an awesome idea BTW, cuz that supes is hot for the points.

It's actually from Sup Prime's trait. He can gain a keyword from any figure with top-click Mind Control.

Ninja'd.

kraken 100
madame hydra 100
imperial hydra 45
deltite lmd 35 x3
Dreadnought 50

400 points. for harder hitting you can swap out kraken for winter soldier.
lmd's tie up and harass.
If kraken stays you have tk top dial for an early tie up so kraken and madame hydra can focus down figs.
Dread carries imperial hydra.

Thanks guys, these are all awesome ideas. Spider_Ham's idea of using Hive to make WF017 Superman Hydra themed made me chuckle, hehe, very devious.

586, with plenty of Enhancement, Empower, and HYDRA TA+SHIELD TA, and most of my attackers have powers/abilities that apply for Kingpin. Brutal damage output. Hail HYDRA
