- In Iron Man: Armored Adventures, the Helicarrier made an appearance during the series as S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. The episode "Technovore" revealed Howard Stark as being responsible for building most of the weapon systems of the Helicarrier but he stopped this practice after the birth of his son Tony Stark.
Films
- In Iron Man: Rise of the Technovore, the Helicarrier served as the base of operations for S.H.I.E.L.D. with Nick Fury and Maria Hill staffed in it where they monitored the launch site of Stark Industries 'Howard' satellite. The launch site was attacked by the armored mercenary band known as the Raiders leading to Fury launching Interceptors to battle them alongside Iron Man and War Machine. After the destruction of the launch facility, Iron Man was taken back to the Helicarrier for debriefing and detention but Stark would escape as he sought to stop Ezekiel Stane along with avenging his friend James Rhodes.
- In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the Helicarriers make an appearance with three next generation being created by S.H.I.E.L.D. These carriers were being produced as part of Project Insight that sought to link the craft to orbital satellites that would provide them with target acquisition data. This would allow the vehicles to eliminate enemies once the carriers reached a certain height. Such a program was secretly the master plan of the HYDRA cabal that was controlling S.H.I.E.L.D. with this conspiracy being headed by Alexander Pierce. Ultimately, Nick Fury along with Steve Rogers uncovered this plan where they managed to replace a data chip within each carrier before they reached the right altitude. This allowed the Helicarriers to be reprogrammed remotely to target one another thus destroying the three vehicles.
- In Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher, the Helicarrier served as S.H.I.E.L.D. mobile headquarters where they abduct Frank Castle aka Punisher in order to enlist his aid in stopping the terrorist activities of Leviathan.
