Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel’s feature films assembles a small, highly select group of agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Together they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary.
Agent Phil Coulson is back, eager to form a specialized team of individuals to brave the post–Battle of New York world. He believes this small team of regular people, when working together, can make just as much of a difference as those with superpowers.
Genius biochemist Jemma Simmons is a rising star in S.H.I.E.L.D.’s research division, along with her inseparable friend and partner, Leo Fitz. The two are usually found bickering, but they are always found together. Simmons has a love for science and a wide-eyed enthusiasm for the world that make this opportunity to work in the field the adventure of a lifetime.
Computer hacker Skye has a vast knowledge of code. Some would call
her a free spirit, others a disruptive anarchist. But all agree on her uncanny ability to gain the upper hand through wit and charm. Skye’s background is also something rare to S.H.I.E.L.D.: a mystery.
Leo Fitz is as brilliant an engineer as he is socially awkward — but he’s always on the same wavelength as his research partner, Jemma Simmons. The two of them are an inseparable pair, though a little green, having never been in the field before.
While Agent Ward is highly trained in combat and espionage, he sometimes fails at interpersonal relations. He’s a man of few words, but always cool under fire and ready for action. Fiercely loyal, he would give his life for S.H.I.E.L.D.
Agent May is an expert pilot and martial artist. Though she was once a legend in the agency, she mysteriously resigned herself to a quiet desk job in recent years.
