History
Overview
Oversight over the agency was provided by the World Security Council that had the power of stripping a Director of their authority or placing them on probationary whilst an investigation was made over their conduct. (Avengers Standoff: Assault On Pleasant Hill Omega v1 #1)
The organization was divided into numerous sub-branches that included:
- Silvereye - a group that specialized in hunting Vampires.
- S.T.A.K.E. : an elite unit tasked with combating the supernatural and were based out from Area 13. (Howling Commandoes of S.H.I.E.L.D. v1 #1)
The highest deep-cover operatives made use of the phrase "family values" as a signal that they were a friendly that they were an agent. (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. v1 #4)
According to protocols, deceased agents were placed at a secret graveyard with no tombstone to identify them and allowed the dead to rest in peace and out of the enemy's reach. Thus, S.H.I.E.L.D. were able to pay their respects to their fallen without making a target of themselves. This practice was a leftover directive from Nick Fury who had put it into practice. (Black Widow v6 #2)
A range of tools were created for their use that included
- CAT Tags : Casualty Awareness Tracking system tags were designed to monitor or kill their users (Captain America v4 #1).
- Godseye : a satelitte able to remotely detonate nuclear weapons which later developed intelligence and went rogue (Incredible Hulk v3 #89).
- H.A.W.K. : High Altitude Wing Kite were gliding tools used to exit planes. (Strange Tales v1 #166)
