HISTORY

A.I.M. is an organization of brilliant scientists and their hirelings dedicated to the acquisition of power and the overthrow of all governments by technological means. A.I.M. was organized late in World War II by Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker to develop advanced weaponry for his subversive organization HYDRA . They were close to developing and attaining nuclear weapons when HYDRA Island was invaded by American and Japanese troops. Although HYDRA suffered a major setback, it survived and grew in secret over the following decades.

A.I.M. has created three major implements of deadly potential which stand far above the rest of their accomplishments. The greatest of these was the Cosmic Cube , a device capable of Altering Reality . A.I.M. did not realize that they had only manufactured the cubical containment device; the real power was an entity accidentally drawn into this dimension. The Cosmic Cube recently evolved into Kubik. The second was the Super-Adaptoid , an android capable of mimicking the appearance and superpowers of other beings. The Super-Adaptoid's powers were made possible by incorporating a sliver of the Cosmic Cube into its form. When Kubik repossessed the sliver after defeating the Adaptoid, the android was rendered inanimate. A.I.M.'s third achievement was the creation of the MODOK (Mobile '''O'''rganism '''D'''esigned '''O'''nly for '''K'''illing), an artificially mutated human with an enormous head and psionic abilities. Modok was originally an ordinary AIM scientist who was selected by AIM's leader, the Scientist Supreme, to be the subject of the bionic and genetic experiments that turned him into MODOK. After his transformation, MODOK killed the Scientist Supreme and took control of A.I.M., and later took advantage of the organizational chaos following the destruction of HYDRA Island and the deaths of Baron Strucker and most of HYDRA's leading members to sever A.I.M.'s ties with HYDRA.

The organization is renowned for the ' Beekeeper ' uniform of its underlings since the first appearance. This has continued to this day, with artists making it fearsome or ridiculous, depending on the needs of the story.

However, as a result of the Poison Tomorrow arc of Amazing Fantasy , AIM has gained a new costume, which tends towards insectoid armour and large guns. The organization was also revealed to have become a 'techno-anarchist' group, with no connection to HYDRA, and even a hatred for fascism. With the introduction of the Death's Head 3.0 character, a pacifist future version of the organization is promised, with a surprise character as leader.

A.I.M. maybe connected somehow to the Livewires as one of their members-- Cornfed wears an AIM uniform. He also wears a button referencing "The Real AIM".

HOUSE OF M

In the House Of M , Advanced Idea Mechanics is re-imagined as a human Resistance Movement .

OTHER MEDIA
