S.H.I.E.L.D.

The Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, better known by its acronym S.H.I.E.L.D., is a United States extra-governmental military counter-terrorism and intelligence agency. Founded in the wake of Allied victory over the Axis powers and HYDRA in World War II, S.H.I.E.L.D. was organized to protect the United States, and later the entire world, from all possible threats. With its advanced weapons and extraordinary agents, S.H.I.E.L.D. was maybe the greatest military power on Earth. The agency is run by Nick Fury and the World Security Council.

Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S.
When the world is filling up with super-humans and creatures unknown to man, Nick Fury decided to use the Tesseract and harness energy from it, in order to make weapons. He recruited astrophysicist Dr. Erik Selvig to lead the project and stationed one of his best agents, Clint Barton to provide security. When Dr. Selvig managed to learn how to tap into the energy of the Tesseract, he and Agent Phil Coulson contacted Nick Fury.

Loki's Attack
S.H.I.E.L.D. found themselves under attack when Loki teleported at the Joint Dark Energy Mission Facility to steal the Tesseract. Despite the efforts of Fury and Maria Hill, they were unable to stop Loki who also controlled the minds of Dr. Selvig, Hawkeye and several agents. In response to the attack, Fury activated the Avengers Initiative.
