Character Bio - Baron von Strucker had been recruited into the Nazi party in the 1930’s. He rose through the ranks to become leader of the Death’ Head Squadron. During World War Two, he faced heroes such as Nick Fury and his Howling Commandos, Captain America and The Invaders. After facing defeats to those allied heroes, Hitler ordered his death. However, he found a friend in Red Skull, who knew Hitler’s regime was near the end, and Red Skull offered Strucker the leadership of a new militant group called HYDRA. After World War II, Baron von Strucker and HYDRA threatened to release the Death Spore virus upon the world from their base HYDRA Island, but Nick Fury foiled that plan and when HYDRA Island exploded Baron von Strucker was presumed dead. The dome of the base was built to keep the Death Spore out when they released it on the world, but instead, it kept the virus contained. HYDRA suffered for a time without leadership until eventually, Red Skull championed the effort to revive him. HYDRA scientists had found his body and sacrificed themselves in order to bring him back to life. Baron von Strucker’s body had been infected by the Death Spore virus during the explosion at HYDRA Island, but instead of killing him, it bonded with his DNA and now he doesn’t age, he heals very fast and is more resistant to physical injury. Also, he is able to release the Death Spore virus short distances and it can kill its victims almost instantly and when Baron von Strucker is ever killed, supposedly the Death Spore virus will be released upon the world to take revenge on his enemies.

-Rulings and Clarifications-

• Q- "If an Android is on a water space and attacked by Baron von Strucker's Satan's Claw Special Attack, does the player controlling that Android subtract 2 shields when defending against that attack?"
• A- "Yes. After the player controlling the Android figure rolls defense dice against that attack, subtract 2 shields from the total number of shields, including any that are counted from special powers, such as Tough. Note that while this is extra effective against Android figures with Tough special power, Android figures with Shields of Valor type defensive powers still double any shield rolled and then subtract 2 from the total."
