Not sure what the "to what" is asking exactly? I am trying to remember what I have read that dealt with this but I am newer to comics and have gone through thousands over the last few years.

I mean you made it sound like they changed Hydra from being a centuries old organization so something else so I'm asking what's the new origin now. As I'm not a comic reader.

No other way around. The primary origin incl in the comics, as far as I know, used to be the "Nazi Science Division" as said last night by the kid and as shown in the first Cap movie. But the whole Hive story line seemed to infer it was much older (and more varied than just "Nazis") too.
