List Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Members
S.H.I.E.L.D. (Supreme Headquarters International, Espionage and Law-enforcement Division, currently known as Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistics Directorate) is a Marvel Comics fictional counterterrorism and intelligence agency. It was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in Strange Tales #135 (August 1965), and appeared throughout the publisher's entire comic book line. The agency and its traditional executive director, Nick Fury, have also starred in their own series and miniseries sporadically since that time, most notably during a late-1960s run by writer-artist Jim Steranko.
Two versions of S.H.I.E.L.D. are listed here: the traditional version in mainstream Marvel Universe continuity, followed by the alternate reality version published under the Ultimate Marvel imprint. Amalgam Comics, a joint venture between Marvel and DC Comics, have their own version of S.H.I.E.L.D. that combines characters from both publishers.
