Ilsa Haupstein (Earth-8920)

"I was orphaned by the Great War. A Little girl, all alone. Rasputin gave me a home, a place in the Schutzstaffel. After showing determination, ambition, aggressiveness, I became Madame Hydra. HYDRA will never be done with me... To live, and die and live again. Hail HYDRA!"

- - Madame Hydra to Captain America

Ilsa Haupstein was a long time member of the Nazi Party, Schutzstaffel, and eventually HYDRA under the tutelage of Grigori Rasputin, who taught her about the occult and the Ogdrud Jahad, and they soon became lovers. She turned into one of the Third Reich's greatest assassins, naming herself the Baroness. When Rasputin was killed in 1945, Ilsa and Iron Cross went to hiding for the next 70 decades, her knowledge of the occult allowing her to live on with her youthful appearance, seeking a way to locate Rasputin's corpse and bringing him back from the Tesseract in order to continue with their original plans.
