- In Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Leo Fitz was first introduced in the "Pilot" episode where he was portrayed by actor Iain De Caestecker who was part of the shared continuity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Leo was a socially awkward S.H.I.E.L.D. tech specialist. But despite his awkwardness, he got along remarkably well with his research partner, Jemma Simmons. The two of them were stated to be similar to inseparable siblings. He was recruited by Agent Phil Coulson to be a part of his new team along with Simmons. After it was revealed that Hydra had been within S.H.I.E.L.D. since its formation, agent Ward, a member of Coulson's team, helped them infiltrate and secure the Hub. When John Garrett, Ward's mentor, was exposed as a Hydra agent, Ward assisted him in escaping custody by killing Victoria Hand. He then went on to springing Raina from prison, and raid the Fridge. However, as the hard drive he stole containing information on GH.325 required for Garrett was encrypted by Skye, Ward was forced to go undercover to get her to decrypt it. For a time, his ploy worked, but as Agent Koenig was close to uncovering NSA surveillance of the Fridge, which would've exposed Ward's involvement in the raid, he was forced to kill Koenig and hide his body. Skye soon finds Koenig and realized Ward's true allegiance. Despite this reveal Skye left with Ward to not raise suspicion, having left a note telling the truth for the team to find. Coulson's team was able to track Ward and Garrett to Cuba, where Fitz and Simmons were captured. Fitz managed to use an EMP on Garrett's implants, bringing him close to death. In response Ward was ordered to kill the two scientists, which he attempted by jettisoning them from the Bus. Despite being stuck at the bottom of the ocean, the two scientists were able to brainstorm a way to break out of the container and swim to the surface. Unfortunately, they only had enough oxygen for one person, so Fitz decides to sacrifice himself, confessing how he truly felt for Simmons. Nonetheless, Simmons drags Fitz all the way to the surface, where they are rescued by Nick Fury himself, having found them through their makeshift beacon. Simmons was put in a depressurization tank while Fitz was given to a medical team. Simmons then gave the Bus' location to Fury, who went to assist Coulson. Later, Simmons reunited with her teammates at the Playground, where they are introduced to Eric's identical twin, Billy.
- In Ultimate Spider-Man, Jemma Simmons made an appearance in the animated series in the episode "Lizards" where she was voiced by actor Iain De Caestecker. Agent Fitz was one of the best S.H.I.E.L.D. tech specialists who along with Simmons designed the training simulator at the Triskelion. During the contagious Lizard outbreak, he along with Simmons were turned into giant humanoid reptiles after an infectious bite but was later returned to normal.
