History

S.H.I.E.L.D. was first lead by General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross and is controlled entirely by the United States. During the Gulf War, the Weapon X Project, headed by Colonel John Wraith, was sanctioned by S.H.I.E.L.D. and resulted in the creation of Wolverine.

After Ross' apparent death (which was later reveal that he survived), Nick Fury was then selected as the organization's executive director. His first actions were to shut down Weapon X and resurrect the Super Soldier program, commissioning Dr. Bruce Banner to try to recreate the formula that made Captain America. This failed and resulted in the creation of the Hulk when Banner injected his serum into himself. It was later revealed that the chemical called Oz, which turned Norman Osborn into the Green Goblin, was also created in hopes of recreating the Super Soldier formula. Spider-Man was also a product of the Oz formula. As well, the creation of the Sandman and Electro are due to Hammer Industries attempting to recreate the Super Soldier formula for S.H.I.E.L.D.

S.H.I.E.L.D. later created its own superhero team, the Ultimates. Later still, it brought the X-Men and Spider-Man under S.H.I.E.L.D. jurisdiction. However, S.H.I.E.L.D. later severed ties with the X-Men.^[1] In further in upholding its agenda on policing posthuman threats, the organization maintains ties to a sister organization in Europe, the European Defense Initiative as well as the English operated S.T.R.I.K.E.

However, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Ultimates' 'policing' actions were immediately scrutinized by every other nations leading to the Liberators' attack on America and forcing the Ultimates to break away from S.H.I.E.L.D.

As of the events of Ultimate Power, S.H.I.E.L.D. became under the directorship of Carol Danvers, as Nick Fury was stranded in the Supreme Power Universe.
