That logo has six legs. That is no octopus. That is a hexapus (not the crab)

To be fair, hexapus does sound kind of like an eldritch god of some sort.

That is not an octopus, that is a hexaboob. A notoriously seductive skeleton with 6 boobs.

For anybody confused: Hydra are small aquatic animals related to things like jellyfish. They have a whole bunch of stinging tentacles, a single head, and some species are IIRC effectively immortal. I could google it but that's not the vibe I'm feeling at the moment.

A lot less intimidating than the logo:

The logo is from Marvel comics. Schmidt is a Nazi SS Obergruppenführer in charge of special weapons development; his division is known as Hydra and is the revival of an ancient cult. After a drug-induced mutation, Schmidt is known as the Red Skull.

Don't ask me any more questions, though; I'll have already forgotten everything I just read!

Two of them are obscured by the skull. They could also be inside the skull along with the head, it's weird that an octopus would have a human skull anyway.

Ah, right, THAT Hydra. I felt like I'd seen that logo somewhere before, but I'm only passingly familiar with comics and such.

hexapus

Sounds like a budget James Bond movie where the titular villain just smuggles minor gemstones and herbs.

The tentacles of an octopus are usually not attached neatly in a row. Some of them will be behind the other legs.

Heil Hydra, cut one head and they will participate equally regardless of how they move, communicate, think or interact.

I seriously don't understand this logo. It seems to be an octopus, but only showing six tentacles and a skull which cephalopods do not have. The only hard part of the octopus is its beak. Are they trying to show a kraken? That is more of a squid. Ten tentacles and still no skull.

But, they'll still wait their turn in combat to take the hero(es) on, one by one. Every. Fucking. Time. 🙇🏽‍♂️

That's... not how they work. By orders of magnitude, no less. 😅

I can see why people would miss that part as I don't think it's terribly common knowledge, but the red skull is really obvious. A logo is often not a photograph of the corresponding organization's name.

The meme is just bad. Hydra is a representation of an actual Hydra, not a mythical one.
