Where comic book legends reshape history
In 1936, the world teeters on the brink of global conflict—and a new threat emerges: Hydra, Germany's clandestine organization dedicated to world domination through advanced weaponry. As nations pivot toward super-science, mutants awaken, ancient orders stir, and heroes rise to meet the coming storm. Inspired by 1940s Marvel Comics, Marvel Noir, and iconic story arcs, this mod reimagines WWII as a canvas for legendary battles between gods, monsters, and mortals.

Design Philosophy
- Heroes/villains join via lore-driven events, not instant unlocks.
- Powers balanced for HOI4 gameplay—no game-breaking OP units.
- Alternate history without erasing WWII's gravity: superheroes amplify stakes but don't trivialize human struggle.
- Community-driven: Suggest characters/events in comments—future updates will expand the roster!
The world needs heroes. Will you answer the call?
