Peggy Carter: Host of The Hydra

 

Sokovia, 1947

The echos of the preceding gunfight still reverberated off the concrete corridors of the bunker as Peggy Carter slowly came out from behind her cover. About a dozen bodies of Hydra troops laid on the ground, her deadly marksmanship having stopped them in their tracks. She had failed to notice it at first, not until her boot stepped upon the slowly growing puddle underneath, but the large glass tank beside the wooden crates that shielded her from the enemy's hot lead had been struck by a stray bullet. Peggy moved around to the front of the tank, looking at the strange mass which floated in the quickly draining water. Suddenly, the mass opened an obsidian eye. Before Carter could react, the clump of flesh threw itself against the tank where the projectile hit. Glass and water knocked Peggy to the floor as the heap rode out the current to freedom. Her skull hit the concrete hard. Not hard enough for any serious damage, but just enough to black out. Eyes struggled to open, but managed to long enough to see the silhouettes of octopus-like tentacles looming under the light above her...

The hours passed, and from the floor of the bunker arose something which was no longer Peggy Carter. Emerald tendrils protruding from her back floated in the air around her. A soaking wet uniform had been shed in favor of nothing at all, revealing large patches of slimy green skin that almost covered her body entirely. She had become more than just a vessel for the alien creature, the two had completely bonded into one inseparable entity. It told her there could be more like them, those who can join the singular mind of the Hydra, share in their bliss. Yes, others needed to know the elation which she now felt. Soon everyone would find ecstasy under the guidance of Madam Hydra...

After doing my Ginnifer Goodwin as Earth X Venom image, I was inspired to create another piece based on something from that series. In Earth X, Hydra is a mind controlling parasite that has hundreds of heroes and villains under it's control, all following the orders of the Hydra Queen. I liked that concept and added my own twist to it, turning one of Hydra's main oppressors in the MCU into it's new leader.

Amy Pond: Cyberwoman

Image
  The Daleks had put up a good fight, but they were no match for the overwhelming number of Cybermen. With the battle won, the metal monsters gathered the remaining crew and passengers of the space cruiser, moving them aboard their command ship and directly into the cyber-conversion chamber. Among the prisoners was space-adventurer Amy Pond, who had received the space cruiser's SOS and came to aid in any way she could. Over the hundreds of years of their existence, the Cybermen had been working on improving their nanomachine technology. It was a faster method for conversion, especially useful for converting such a large number of humans in a short amount of time, and Amy was about to get a first-hand demonstration. The microscopic computers crawled along her pale skin, eating away at the black suit protecting her. She writhes in pain as they graft onto her flesh, but briefly stops as she's caught off guard by the feeling of a large helmet sliding on top of her head....

Invasion of The Yolkians: Hill Valley Drones

Image
  It was shortly after the opening of the Institute of Future Technology that the organization launched one of it's first major achievements. Inspired by the Pioneer probes of the early 1970s, Doctor Emmett L. Brown and the institute's Intergalactic Innovations division created a highly advanced satellite broadcasting a message of peace and goodwill for anyone in the depths of space who might hear it's signals. Little did they know they'd receive a response so soon. The Yolkians began their siege at the satellite's place of origin, abducting many of the facility's staff and volunteers, Clara Clayton Brown being among them. From her, the aliens learned that the Institute had access to machines capable of traveling through time, something which piqued the interest of the invaders. In just a few hours, the female population of Hill Valley had been successfully captured. With a new batch of drones now under their control, the Yolkians had no trouble pl...

Peggy Carter: Hydra Queen Poster

  Inspired by symbiotestory's Hydra Peggy Cater story (which was inspired by my own Peggy Carter: Host of The Hydra image), I put together this pin-up influenced by 1940s movie posters and the Agent Carter television show. (Above): Just a girl and her alien octopus suit kicking back after a hard day of taking over the world. (Above): An alternate "mid-transformation" design modeled after the Host of The Hydra image.
