S.H.I.E.L.D.[note 1] is an American espionage and counterterrorism organization, currently headed by Nick Fury. They are responsible for general defense of the United States, including repelling extraordinary threats like superpowered villains, and withholding important, secretive information from the public. Answering directly to President George W. Bush, in 2002 S.H.I.E.L.D. formed the Ultimates superhero team.[1]
