Advanced Idea Mechanics, more commonly known as A.I.M, is a company set up by Nazi scientists during World War II. They were tasked with the development of power through mechanical means. Instead, they became a stagnant scientist for HYDRA. However, Hitler was annually cutting funding for the group towards the end of the war due to their total incompetence, and only providing Hitler with useless items such as Exploding pens and barbed wire bunkers. After the war, the company went public as a group for hire under a man by the name of Baron von Strucker.
