~ The Watchdogs' oath.
The Watchdogs were a radical terrorist organization from Marvel Comics who first appeared in Captain America 335 and would become an irregular opponent of the patriotic hero, being a dark reflection of himself.
They are a band of heavily-armed thugs enforcing their own version of the American "Dream" upon those they deemed inferior. In reality, however, the entire organization were pawns of the Red Skull.
The Watchdogs were a group of dozens of disgruntled and violent individuals who took to arms in order to enforce vigilante "justice" upon anyone that displeased them or went against what they viewed as a decent American way of life (things such as abortion, pornography, sex-education, teaching of evolution and so forth).
However, their version of "justice" was extreme and included such acts as arson, kidnapping, lynching, and murder, and while they were far from a HYDRA level threat they did have firearms, explosives, and padded uniforms with helmets and kevlar vests.
The Watchdogs would be featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but are a very different organization, focusing more on sci-fi elements as a group of humans who organize violence against non-humans.

Trivia[]
The Watchdogs are inspired by a number of extreme conservative groups who traditionally opposed sectors of society they viewed as "corruptive" (homosexuals, the homeless, and racial minorities), as such groups have even been quite infamous for viewing superhero fiction as corrupting, with a brief scare on the matter resulting in the infamous "Comics Code" and "Seduction of the Innocents".
