Hive is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Hive was an experiment made to physically embody the ideals of the fictional terrorist group Hydra. The entity is composed of untold numbers of genetically-engineered parasites.
Hive appears in the Marvel Cinematic Universe TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. where he is an ancient Inhuman and is primarily portrayed by Brett Dalton.
Hive first appeared in Secret Warriors #2 (May 2009) and was created by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev.
The Hive was created in the Hydra laboratories in their home base of Gehenna. An unknown and unwitting Hydra agent was offered/fed to these parasites as a host around which they could merge into a singular being. Grotesque and menacing in both stature and appearance the Hive had no identity of its own, per se, as its collective will dominates the human host it engulfs. However, it possesses a quiet and cunning intelligence and as a result of its conditioning is completely dedicated to the Hydra cause to the extent that Baron Strucker appointed it as a figurehead alongside himself, the Viper, Gorgon, Kraken, and the new Madame Hydra in the form of triple agent Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.
When Hydra went to war against the rival organization Leviathan, Valentina revealed her true allegiance and murdered her predecessor Viper. When Strucker and the other heads discovered Viper's corpse, the Hive shocked and appalled them all by merging with the deceased woman's body—re-animating Viper, but with the parasites themselves gathering into a bulbous mass atop her head with four prehensile tentacles.
