The Supreme Headquarters International Law Enforcement Division was created as a global peacekeeping force, although their primary funding comes from the United States. While SHIELD was the brainchild of Nick Fury in its early stages, the government took the idea and originally created the organization without him, casting Rick Stoner as the first director of SHIELD, until his assassination led to Fury getting the job he was always meant for.
After the Deltoid Crisis, when the majority of SHIELD agents were secretly replaced by advanced LMDs, the organization disbanded. Nick Fury recreated SHIELD as a five man team of his closest allies, before slowly rebuilding the group back to its former numbers, now known as the Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistics Directorate.
Several temporary directors of SHIELD have replaced Fury in the past, when he was believed dead or after his fall from grace, including Dum Dum Dugan, Sharon Carter, G.W. Bridge, Maria Hill, and Tony Stark. Norman Osborn deconstructed SHIELD again when he created HAMMER for the Thunderbolts Initiative, but Steve Rogers has recommissioned the old agency in the aftermath of Osborn's Dark Reign. Daisy Johnson is currently the ranking SHIELD officer.
