Erik Selvig
He was the chief scientist in S.H.I.E.L.D.s Kobik Program that utilized fragments of Cosmic Cubes to alter reality. (Avengers Standoff: Assault On Pleasant Hill Alpha v1 #1)

When Baron Zemo recovered the Kobik fragments, he ordered Selvig to merge the shards back together to form the Cosmic Cube. The act though would have destroyed Kobik's intelligence which was something Erik refused to do as he came to see her as a daughter. To protect her from Zemo, Selvig decided to kill himself in order to prevent the Baron's plan from coming to fruition. (Captain America: Steve Rogers v1 #16)
