The H.I.V.E.

The Hierchy of International Vengeance and Extermination was originally founded by a criminal genius, the H.I.V.E. Master. He gathered together seven fellow scientists, but their evil schemes were thwarted by various super heroes. Most notably, the H.I.V.E. aimed its attacks of scientific terrorism at various incarnations of the Teen Titans, including empowering the late Grant Wilson - son of Slade Wilson - the super-assassin known as the Ravager, in his failed attempt to destroy the group. Following frequent skirmishes with the Titans, the H.I.V.E. self-destructed after the H.I.V.E. Mistress, wife of its late founder, chose to kill the Hierarchy’s inner circle and committed suicide rather than be captured.

The H.I.V.E. later regrouped with Adeline Kane, ex-wife of Slade Wilson, as its new H.I.V.E. Mistress. She blamed the super heroes, the Teen Titans in particular, for the death of her sons Grant and Joseph.

Following a three-way conflict with the Titans and Tartarus, a cadre of super-villains led by Vandal Savage, Kane was killed and the H.I.V.E. was presumably left under the leadership of Kane’s second-in-command, Damien Darhk. Structured like an insect colony, the H.I.V.E. employs swarms of faceless (and therefore expendable) foot soldiers utterly loyal to the ruling hierarchy.
