Hive

Hive is a mysterious figure operating within Marvel's covert underworld, allied with dangerous agents like Viper, Kraken, and Tomi Shishido as part of the shadowy organization Hydra's inner circle, as revealed in the espionage-driven Secret Warriors series.

A shadowy presence lurking at the fringes of Marvel's most clandestine corners, Hive emerged in 2009's Secret Warriors #2 — a Modern Age creation from the formidable trio of Brian Michael Bendis, Jonathan Hickman, and Stefano Caselli, one of the most celebrated creative teams of that era. Keeping dangerous company alongside the likes of Ophelia Sarkissian, Kraken, and Tomi Shishido, Hive moves through Marvel's world of espionage and secret power with genuine menace. Their appearances stretch across Secret Warriors, Captain America: Sam Wilson, and Captain America: Secret Empire, signaling a character woven into some of the most politically charged storytelling Marvel has produced in recent years. Nine catalog appearances may be lean, but in comics, it's often the figures operating in the shadows who leave the deepest mark.
