8 Super Heroes Who Worked for S.H.I.E.L.D.

Super Heroes who’ve acted as agents of the organization, or found themselves helping out.

Spider-Man SHIELD

Captain America

The Sentinel of Liberty ranks right up there with the splashiest, most well-known S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives of all. Cap received his “Priority A-1” badge from Nick Fury not long after the hero’s awakening in modern times. Check out: TALES OF SUSPENSE #78

Spider-Man

S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson regularly rubs shoulders with some pretty incredible people in the line of duty, but sometimes he needs more help. In AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. #5, none other than Spider-Man himself made an appearance to help.

Falcon

Cap’s former partner Sam Wilson fell into S.H.I.E.L.D.’s orbit when he took over the leadership of the organization’s so-called “Super Agents.” The group included the Texas Twister, Marvel Boy, Blue Streak, and Vamp.
