A.I.M. (Advanced Idea Mechanics) is a fictional criminal organization appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, it first appeared in Strange Tales #146 (July 1966). A.I.M. is generally depicted as a think tank of brilliant scientists dedicated to world domination through technological means. The organization started as the scientific division of Hydra founded by Baron Strucker, but has since become independent. Some of its most notable creations include the Cosmic Cube, the Super-Adaptoid, and MODOK, who has been depicted as a prominent member of A.I.M. and sometimes as the organization's leader. Since its original introduction in comics, A.I.M. has been featured in various other Marvel-licensed products, including video games and television series. The organization made its live action debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Iron Man 3 (2013), in which it was headed by Aldrich Killian.
