While at work, Hector saw some glaring problems in the structure of the United States Armed Forces. Although he had made the office of Secretary of Defence to make the matter of joint operations more streamlined, it was not enough.

Problems were caused by inter-service rivalry. Currently, the line of command flowed through him as the President, then the Secretary of Defence and then the respected Chief of Staff of the three services. The problem came because the US military was too big and spanned across the world. It was not so easy to first contact the COS and then hope that he will timely pass the orders to the respective commander.

From what Hector remembered, this problem became too big during the Vietnam war, hence the GoldwaterNichols Act was passed. It divided the US Military into theatre commands. Northern, Central, European, Pacific, Southern, and Africa Commands, along with a few more strategic and service commands.

What this did was that it changed the line of command. Now, the President could directly order the respective Theatre commanders. The new line of command was president to the secretary of defence, and from the secretary of defence to the commander of the theatre command.

Not just this, a new military position was created, one above the three chiefs of staff, it was called the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff as opposed to the service chiefs. The chairman was designated as the principal military adviser to the president of the United States, National Security Council and secretary of defence.

This way, the command was more streamlined and the three services would act like one unit instead of different entities. Since Hector knew everything, he prepared a polished draft for the new act. In normal times, this whole act would take decades to show effect, as it did in his previous world, but not now.

Soon, he sent the draft back home for a Senator and Representative to put forward. It was named Washington-John-Dover Act. Named after the three people who worked on it.

...

After Naples, Rome was the target, the seat of Italy's government. The moment they take that over, Italy would be won. But the place was swarming with enemies, Hector's few thousand men won't be enough. They needed at least 300,000 troops.

So he ordered for the Canadians, the British and the American commands to send over the men. That happened quickly, as they had already taken Naples and the port was clear.

After that, he prepared a few plans. Of course, he was the spearhead of it all, as his fist was enough to destroy a tank.

This time, because General Patton didn't slap two soldiers, he wasn't sidelined and was allowed to join in. He, along with another Lieutenant General Mark Clark and 4 more British generals, took his instructions.

"All right, since we have so many tanks now, they are going to provide us with a good cover, along with the choppers.

"We need to take over the winter line and as long as we take over the defences around the town of Monte Cassino, we'll have access to Highway 6, which led uninterrupted to Rome." He planned. However, this was a new war, as he was here.

"Our strength is in our ability to overpower them. So the men will be divided into a group of 50,000 each. With 5 such groups, we will launch an attack.

"However, the last group will come with me and airdrop directly inside Rome. My job is to stop the war as fast as possible, that's only possible if I capture the enemy flag and make the German Generals surrender.

"This is why, remember, I want you all to preserve men, do not blindly enter the fight, drag it for as long as possible." He ordered them. The good thing was that the Soviets were not involved here, or else their Generals would have never followed his command.

The 5 men saluted him and went on their way to do their duties. Hector turned back to prepare for the upcoming battle. It was going to be the biggest one yet that will be deciding the future of the war. Basically, Hector was speeding up everything. In the original timeline, Rome was supposed to fall in the June of 1944. But right now, it was just November of 1943.

"Moony, son, wake your uncle Wolf up." He tasked the fluffy boy.

"Wuf..." softly barking, He went right to Logan, who was sleeping in a bunk bed and sat down on top of his stomach. Now, Moony was huge, hence his weight was too much. Even Logan can't sleep with all that weight.

However, Logan didn't get angry, instead just started petting him. He felt close to Moony after all, or maybe it was some sort of wolf paternal instinct. "Argh... what happened? Did he call for me?"

In the sky, a bomber was hovering, inside which Hector was present. The hanger was open and he looked down at the sea. A normal man could not see it, but he could with his wolf gaze. The submarine had already surfaced.

After waiting for an hour, the time finally came. With a smile, he jumped down. "Go back, boys," he waved at the pilots.

In the waters, the two submarines docked beside each other, unsuspecting of the man that was falling on them. They exchanged greetings first between the two commanders. And then, the man of the hour came out.

But just then, *BOOM*

Under the bright moonlight, a towering figure appeared near the hatch of the German submarine. His white hair shined and Hector's red coat appeared like blood. The Germans, the Japanese and the Indian felt as if the devil had fallen from the sky himself, but it was unknown which of them was the sinner.

"R-RED DEMON!" A German soldier cried.

Hector's grey eyes shined as they noticed the balding Indian man, "Let's have a drink,"

*BANG*

Some dumbass shot their gun at him, which annoyed Hector, although it didn't hurt him. He lifted the man in the air and threw him into the water. "Is this how you treat your esteemed guests?"

He turned to the Japanese submarine, with one leap he reached the top of it, *BAM* one single punch was enough to make a hole in it, making sure it can't submerge anymore.

The crew of the two submarines felt true horror that day. They overpowered Hector in numbers, but they still felt fear taking over their hearts and minds, although they were in the open sea right now, each of them felt confined, they could only hope that their enemy would be kind.

...

German-occupied Poland, Auschwitz concentration camp,

"What did we do to deserve this? Why do they beat us? Are we different?" A young boy, 11 years old, asked his father.

"No, Max, we're no different. It's they who are different, they are mentally challenged. They have nothing to do, so they kill us, beat us. These men have no purpose in life, they are mindless sheep. Never be like this, son," Max's father told him.

"Will we ever get out of here?" Max scaredly asked.

His father had no answer, they were counting days anyway, until one day his name will be called to take a "Bath". he just caressed Max's head, "Don't think too much, whatever is in our fate, we will get it."

Max just silently kept looking outside from the confines of the camp, the barbed wire was really sharp, but by now his cold hands had gotten used to that pain. It was much less than the sound of that dreaded train.

[A/N: As I said before, the majority of Marvel superheroes and villains will be born because of plot demands, but a few things about their circumstances may be different. Hector is going full crazy at this time and the modern world will be slightly different from what we have in the our world.]
