The primary antagonist and recurring "baddie" in the classic Thunderbirds series was The Hood. He was a formidable and enigmatic villain who frequently challenged International Rescue.
Who Was The Hood?
The Hood was a highly intelligent and cunning criminal and terrorist, known for his relentless pursuit of the advanced technology and secrets of International Rescue, often for his own nefarious purposes. His schemes ranged from industrial espionage to outright sabotage, always aiming to exploit or destroy the Tracys' operations.

This family tie added an intriguing layer to his motivations and interactions within the series.
