Werner von Strucker is the oldest son ofBaron Wolfgang von Strucker and the half-brother of twinsFenris (Andrea von Strucker and Andreas von Strucker).

Werner briefly takes overHydra during one of his father's supposed deaths.^{[volume & issue needed]} Later Wolfgang returns from the dead via the Death Spore virus.^{[volume & issue needed]} Werner uses his influence to try to gain part of the territory of theKingpin after he falls from power. The conference that would divide up the Kingpin's territory is set in Las Vegas.^[1]

At first, Werner's forces detain two spies, who were thePunisher's associatesMicrochip andMickey Fondozzi. They claim to be Four and Eight, members of theSecret Empire. Not wanting to risk a rift with the Empire, Werner thus declines to kill them. Via a spy, the Empire learns of the two prisoners. Coincidentally, the real Four and Eight did not attend the Kingpin division meeting. The Secret Empire becomes convinced that Four and Eight have turned traitor. They send Chainsaw and his Praetorians, a motorcycle gang, to attack the entire group.^[2]

Werner survives the attack. He attends a later meeting of the criminal organizations, assisted by a brown-haired man who he later learns is his father Baron Strucker. The meeting descends into violence, part of it resulting from Werner's siblings believing that he is not a worthy successor to their father. After the meeting breaks up, Baron Strucker slays Werner via the Death Spore virus and steps into power once again.^[3] Werner's corpse is found by a super-powered vigilante namedTerror. The vigilante steals one of Werner's eyes to gain information about the recent criminal meetings.^[4]
