S.H.I.E.L.D. is a worldwide intelligence and peacekeeping outfit dedicated to protecting the nations and the peoples of Earth from all threats to security; specifically targeting alien and advanced technology. Unlike MI-6. Stormwatch, the CIA, KGB, Mossad and other government branches from various countries S.H.I.E.L.D.'s scope is international in membership and jurisdiction. Though most activities of S.H.I.E.L.D. are extremely covert, the existence of the organization is known to the general public and S.H.I.E.L.D. maintains public offices in major cities throughout the world.
