Avengers Take Note: Hydra Is an LLC, But Not a Corporation
An Illinois appellate court decision that was just made available on Westlaw provides some revealing insight into Hydra, the longtime source of evil that many recognize from Captain America: The First Avenger.
Hydra stated that Hydra's manager is Ahuva Horowitz, defendant's wife, and that she owns 100% of the membership interests of Hydra a limited liability corporation.
Xcel Supply LLC v. Horowitz, 2018 IL App (1st) 162986, ¶ 14, 100 N.E.3d 557, 561, reh'g denied (Mar. 9, 2018) (emphasis added).
First, let's correct the record: Hydra is listed as an LLC, a limited liability company. It is not a corporation.
Second, I should also note, after further review, it's not really THAT Hydra. It is apparently not this one:
In a prehuman time, a cabal of cold-blooded alien reptiles arrived on Earth, planning to start a legacy of evil. They planted the seed that would later gave birth to future evil empires.
So, instead, the instant Hydra is Hydra Properties, LLC, which came into existence in 2009. That makes more sense, but it's a lot less interesting.
Still, either way, and for either Hydra, if it's Hydra LLC, it's not a corporation.
