Enemy organization in Marvel Comics (5)

I believe the answer is:

hydra

(Other definitions for hydra that I've seen before include "Nine-headed monster of Greek myth" , "Small red-berried tree" , "Proliferating-head monster" , "Multi-headed monster slain by Hercules" , "Many-headed serpent" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
