History

Among the briefings given to Osborn was of the Weapon Plus facility known as The World where he sought control over the laboratory. To that end, he authorised the use of Project: Deathlok whereby a number of corpses were outfitted with cybernetics to turn them into Deathlok agents who were sent to secure the target. Despite their efforts, all agents deployed were destroyed and the project was seemingly abandoned. (Dark Reign: The List - Wolverine v1 #1)

Notes

• H.A.M.M.E.R. was created by Brian Michael Bendis where their first appearance in Secret Invasion v1 #8 (January, 2009).
• Brian Michael Bendris commented that the agency was radically changed after Osborn's fall where it changed from being the top United States espionage agency to a premier mega-crime organizaiton. In this time, its ranks swelled with fanatical followers of Norman Osborn in addition to other criminal enterprises such as A.I.M., HYDRA and the Hand. The majority of these consisted of untrustworthy individuals though some were loyal followers of Osborn:

"H.A.M.M.E.R. is the ultimate fallout of everything that has been going on in the Marvel Universe over the last 10 years. It's a collection of ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. agents; Norman Osborn enthusiasts who came together when Norman's time in prison made him into a cult figure. They've drawn the attention of HYDRA, the Hand, and A.I.M. All of these groups have had similar goals and struggles against the super-powered community, so they decide if they all team-up under the mantle of Norman's leadership, they win. It's just simple math. They were a threat on their own. Now that we have these four angles of the Marvel Universe's anti-authority organizations coming together, that's it. They are the authority."
