Formation
S.H.I.E.L.D was formed shortly after WWII by Peggy Carter, Bucky Barnes, and the Howling Commandos. The organization's first goal was to destroy the remnants of the subversive organization Hydra.

Modern Era
Director Nick Fury comes up with an initiative he dubbed the "Avengers Initiative" that would bring together a team of superhumans to help S.H.I.E.L.D protect the world. The heroes Fury wanted for the job were: Iron Man(see Tony Stark), Captain America(see Steve Rogers), Black Widow(see Natasha Romanoff), Hawkeye(see Clint Barton), Miss Marvel(see Carol Danvers), and the Hulk(see Bruce Banner). After the superhuman prison known as The Raft was compromised, Nick Fury called upon the heroes to help S.H.I.E.L.D recapture all of the escaped prisoners.

After the formation of the Avengers, Nick Fury asked his right hand man Agent Phil Coulson to form a team of S.H.I.E.L.D agents that would act as a mobile unit for S.H.I.E.L.D(see Team Coulson).
