S.H.I.E.L.D.

SHEILD is a large military organization whose headquarters is on a flying base over New York City. SHEILD is lead by Colonel Nick Fury. SHEILD’s purpose is to maintain security in the world. It belongs to every country, and no country at the same time.

It was first introduced in the Spider-Man animated series in the Episode, ‘’Day of the Chameleon’’. In it, the escaped criminal, Chameleon, is trying to assassinate two world leaders at J. Jonah Jameson’s party. Colonel Fury warns him of the danger and gives him a pin that could summon SHEILD agents. SHEILD ends up working with Spider-Man and they catch Chameleon.

SHEILD made it’s return appearance in Spider-Man in the season three episode, ‘’The man Without Fear’’ featuring a guest appearance by Daredevil and the return of Chameleon and Kingpin. In it, their only real role was the arrest of Chameleon, taking him to their high security prison in the air.

Their small cameo in season three paid off big time in season four. In it, Kingpin reveals that they having been monitoring Chameleon during his imprisonment after ‘’The Man Without Fear’’. Kingpin launches an attack on SHEILD to abduct John Hardeski, an infamous cat burglar and father of Felicia Hardy. Kinpin needs him so that he can obtain the Super Soldier serum.

Spider-Man was also dealing with SHEILD at the time, looking for files on John Hardeski to help Felicia find her father. Spidey and Black Cat rescue John Hardeski from Kingpin’s clutches. Spidey then takes Hardeski back to SHEILD. Nick Fury is then shown to appreciate Spider-Man’s work as a hero.

SHEILD makes it’s final appearance in Spider-Man in the Six Forgotten Warriors saga in season five. The Destroyer is working with them to prevent Kingpin and Red Skull from accessing a doomsday weapon. They also work to stop Electro’s mad rampage through New York. Electro brings SHEILD to its knees, destroying the flying base.

SHEILD returns in Iron Man, serving as heroes who don’t see eye to eye with Iron Man. The two team up as much as they fight each other. One such instance was when Walter Stark returned, long presumed dead. They were played against each other by AIM, and later teamed up to fight the organization they both despised. They were both also aware of Justin Hammer’s criminal activities but despite numerous attempts, neither of them was able to prove it.

Dum Dum Dugan helped Iron Man fight against the Crimson Dynamo, however the battle ended with a nuke going off.

SHEILD made it’s anticipated return in the Incredible Hulk show. While Fury and Dugan made small appearances on the show, Agent Gabriel was the main focus. Agent Gabriel was originally sent to Gamma Base by SHIELD to help General Ross capture The Hulk. The two of them remained in charge of the Hulkbuster operation; working together until the day they captured The Hulk. When that day finally came, Gabriel pulled a fast one on Ross, and took the Hulk’s body back to SHIELD. Gabriel hated betraying Ross, but he felt he had to under SHIELD orders.

He later returned as the head of one of SHIELD’s underwater facilities, helping to defeat The Hybrid, an essence that took control of its host’s body. He then apparently started dating She Hulk. It’s unknown if he killed himself before he finished dinner.

Spider-Man’s show came to an end, on a cliffhanger, no less. SHIELD’s future in animation looked bleak. However, a new Spider-Man show was coming to be, Spider-Man unlimited. While the show is regarded as one of the worst Marvel shows in history, it still featured SHEILD.

When Spider-Man attempted to steal a shuttle to hitch a ride to Counter Earth, Fury attempted to stop him before he realized that Spider-Man was right, and allowed him to carry on with his mission. SHEILD also appears to have taken custody of Venom, when in Spider-Man, Eddie Brock alone was taken away to Ravencroft. ,
