The Eastern Brotherhood of the Spear, now simply referred by its enemy, the Shield, as the Beast, spread out, ingraining itself into all facets of human society - science, magic, politics - like a multi-headed monster. Thanks to the alien reptiles' evil seed, both parts of the greater Brotherhood became corrupted: while the West, the Brotherhood of the Shield, turned inwards and devoured itself, the East flew apart, dissipating itself generations after generations. Zhang Heng used the spear on some occasions, using to enforce the Brotherhood's goals and protect his country. He met with the pregnant Celestial "Madonna" and avoided the consumption of Earth or the Moon for nourishment of the infant Celestial by suggesting the use of the Sun as gestation place. In 114 A.D., during the Han Dynasty, Zhang Heng, a member of the Brotherhood of the Shield, was the keeper of the Spear. Third Dynastyįor modern records, the earliest origins of Hydra date back to the Third Dynasty of Egypt.

His Spear went to East, where it resided. Imhotep's Shield remained in the West, leading to the formation of the Brotherhood of the Shield. Imhotep led a coalition of warriors, including En Sabah Nur and the Moon Knight, and annihilated the aliens. In 2620 B.C., the Brood attacked Egypt and killed Pharaoh Khasekhemwy Khasekhemui, ending the Second Great Dynasty.

They planted the seed that would later gave birth to future evil empires. In a prehuman time, a cabal of cold-blooded alien reptiles arrived on Earth, planning to start a legacy of evil. Hail, Hydra! Immortal Hydra! We shall never be destroyed! Cut off one head, two more shall take its place! We serve none but the Master-as the world shall soon serve us! Hail Hydra! - The Hydra Oath Origin Alien Legacy
