| - A life-size statue of Kyrano stands as a centerpiece in the vast main room, which the villain uses to control Kyrano to help in his nefarious schemes with mystical powers.
- The Hood's temple is situated deep within the Malaysian jungle in a converted temple believed to be hundreds of years old, though it is evident that the Hood has had part of it extended to include a control centre and living accommodation. Its whereabouts was unknown until its recent discovery by operatives of the Universal Secret Service and World Police. Underground workshops, hangars, and laboratories have been built to accommodate the Hood's vast array of vehicles. It is believed that these were constructed by a variety of companies owned or run by some of the criminal organisations under the Hood's control. Anti-radar systems prevent accidental discovering of the temple when the Hood's aircraft take off or land. Served by an atomic power plant, the temple's inner sanctum contains a statue of Kyrano, the Hood's half brother, which the latter uses to focus telepathic control over him. The entrance hall is protected by pressure sensors and hidden cameras. An automated command centre is used for controlling temple security and monitoring news broadcasts involving International Rescue. The Hood's dressing room has mask-making facilities. A communications beacon monitors TV broadcasts and military communications. An underground garage features a selection of vehicles including the Hood's mini-submarine truck. Leading to a concealed entrance near a remote jungle track five miles away is an access tunnel for vehicles. Features of the temple include a kitchen, meeting area, store room, sleeping quarters and prison cells.
