Werner von Strucker is the oldest son of
Baron Wolfgang von Strucker and the older half-brother of twins
Fenris (Andrea von Strucker and Andreas von Strucker). Werner briefly takes over
Hydra while his father is presumed dead. He uses his influence to attempt to gain control of the
Kingpin's territory after he falls from power. The
Punisher's associates
Microchip and
Mickey Fondozzi pose as Four and Eight, members of the
Secret Empire, and infiltrate a meeting between Strucker and several other criminal organizations. The real Four and Eight do not attend the meeting, causing the Secret Empire to believe that they have betrayed them. They send Chainsaw to attack Strucker. Werner survives the attack. He attends a later meeting of the criminal organizations, assisted by a man who he learns is his father Baron Strucker resurrected. The Fenris twins cause a violent battle at the meeting, believing Werner to be an unworthy successor to their father. After the meeting breaks up, Strucker kills Werner with the Death Spore virus. ==Powers and abilities==
