Wolfgang von Strucker was a German baron and one of the leaders of HYDRA. Originally a sleeper agent in S.H.I.E.L.D., he recruited those who became unsatisfied with the way the agency was led to HYDRA's cause. 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 Dr. List used the Scepter's powers to experiment on many human volunteers in HYDRA's Sokovian base, aiming to create an army of enhanced people who would serve HYDRA. Around the time of the Battle at the Triskelion, Strucker openly deserted S.H.I.E.L.D., but as the War on HYDRA raged, Strucker eventually became one of the last few surviving heads of HYDRA. His base of operations was discovered and attacked by the Avengers, leading to his capture. Shortly afterwards, he was murdered in his cell by Ultron, effectively reducing HYDRA to just a few disorganized cells.

He was played by Thomas Kretschmann.
