| The Secret Empire is a subversive organization concerned with conquering the U.S.A. through surreptitious means such as forming underground armies and engaging in deeply layered conspiracies. Traditionally, the Secret Empire has been organized by code numbers given to each member which indicates their rank within the organization. The nine highest-ranking members originally comprised the Council of Nine to provide direction for the rest of the organization, while the person who held the rank of Number One served as the supreme leader. (The original Secret Empire was funded by the terrorist group Hydra, and its underground branch called THEM made the Empire a branch of Hydra alongside its own scientific division, A.I.M. Later iterations of the Empire were completely self-sufficient.) | ||||
