History

Clay first worked with SHIELD's storied executive director, Nick Fury, during S.H.I.E.L.D.'s first conflict with would-be world tyrant the Yellow Claw, later discovered to have been a robot simulacrum of the Chinese-national Mandarin. Quartermain later became part of the U.S. military's "Hulkbusters" operation, which attempted to capture and contain the Hulk.

Quartermain, along with many other agents, was seemingly killed by a self-aware, renegade "Deltan" variety of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s artificial-human "Life Model Decoys", and replaced by one such LMD.^[1] The most advanced of the Deltite LMDs, it rebelled upon learning it was not human, and after several confrontations, perished.^[2] The real Quartermain was later found alive in cold storage in S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, brainwashed by a faction of the terrorist organization HYDRA. He was deprogrammed.

Quartemain was a former romantic interest of Jessica Jones, Quartermain later became leader of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Paranormal Containment Unit. He is the agent sent to inform Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk) that she had been pressed into service as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.^[3] He next led a new incarnation of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s "Hulkbusters" unit, consisting of She-Hulk, Agent Crimson, and Agent Cheesecake.

Quartermain remained an ally of Jessica Jones, both using each other to gain information for their respective needs. Clay used Jones to bring down a conspiracy against the President of the United States, personally making sure to allow her to escape a mass-criminal round-up. She later contacted him when the superhero Mattie Franklin made a mysterious appearance in her apartment.

At a meat packing plant, Quartermain was supposedly found dead in a suspected Red Hulk attack.^[4]
