- "It's not a world of spies anymore. Not even a world of heroes. This is the age of miracles, doctor. There is nothing more horrifying than a miracle!"
- ―Wolfgang von Strucker to List
Wolfgang von Strucker was a German Baron and one of HYDRA's top leaders. He trained alongside Helen Hale and Jasper Sitwell at the HYDRA Preparatory Academy. He was able to pass his tests and became a personal student of Daniel Whitehall and later an important part in overseeing the beginning of the Project Destroyer of Worlds, which in turn led to the creation of the new soldiers for HYDRA including the Absorbing Man. Having become a sleeper agent within S.H.I.E.L.D., Strucker recruited for HYDRA's cause those who became unsatisfied with the way the agency was led, while also raising his son Werner von Strucker who he deemed to be a disappointment to their cause and not a suitable leader.
In the aftermath of the Battle of New York, Strucker's HYDRA cell secretly took possession of Loki's Scepter which was confiscated by S.H.I.E.L.D. Over the next two years, Strucker and his deputy Doctor Nikolaus Geist used the Scepter's powers to experiment on many human volunteers in HYDRA's Sokovian base, aiming to create an army of enhanced people and brainwash them who to serve HYDRA. Around the time of the Battle of the Triskelion, Strucker deserted S.H.I.E.L.D. and worked on Project Deathspore, in which he would inject the Deathspore that would grant him an array of enhanced abilities, but in order to happen, he had to die first.
His base of operations was discovered and attacked by the Avengers, leading to his capture before he was murdered in his cell by Ultron, which effectively reduced HYDRA to just a few disorganized cells. Under unrevealed circumstances, Baron Strucker came back to life when the Deathspore healed him. Having being brought back, Wolfgang went into hiding and joined the Great Wheel of the Zodiac.
