Druid
The Druid is a cult leader of sorts, who uses advanced technology disguised as pagan mysticism to grow his following, possessing no apparent practical connection to actual magic. His goals were apparently anarchical, as he desired the downfall of all law-enforcement agencies, beginning with S.H.I.E.L.D. His most common tools to accomplish this goal were flying, heavily-armed, egg-like machines known as "Satan's eggs" that would chase down and attack a given target. In 1966, the Druid attempted to kill Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., with his eggs, but S.H.I.E.L.D. regularly remained one step ahead of him. He eventually showed himself and fought Fury directly, while his henchmen fought other S.H.I.E.L.D. forces. S.H.I.E.L.D. won the day, and the Druid was taken into custody.[1][2]
