If red skull succeeded in ww2, and hydra openly had complete control of the world in 2012, would the world order of hydra be able to defeat Loki's chitauri army?
By this is mean, their weaponry kept advancing far past what they were by the time of 2012, they had control of the entire world, there was no United nations, no US government, only exception would possibly be wakanda as they possibly would have stayed hidden.
But would their advanced weaponry using the space stone have succeeded against lokis army in what would have been new york.
And if they succeeded against them, would they have been able to defeat thanos when he eventually came for the mind,time and space stone?
And another question, who do you think would be the ones to defeat hydra if it weren't for captain america? The ancient one? Thor? Wakanda? Pym or stark industries?
