This thread is meant to be an easy to access guide to info in our shared universe that is in continuity. I've gathered all the relevant info already posted in other topics and will be adding my own info. I'm not going to type up info for every series, so if your title is in continuity(5 issues posted) and you want to add things to the thread, PM me the info and I'll post it.
Please don't post in this thread as I want to keep it clean and orderly. If you want to add or edit things, either PM me or create a discussion topic. We already have ones for SHIELD and mutants.
Thank you.

SHIELD SHIELD is an international organization formed with the United Nations. It doesn't technically answer to any one nation, instead forming treaties and agreements with various nations. SHIELD has jurisdiction in most countries though there are some exceptions which haven't accepted that treaty (Latveria, probably Wakanda, possibly Japan) and SHIELD can't legally operate there (but that's what covert ops and plausible deniability are for). Generally speaking if it's something SHIELD would want to claim jurisdiction over like a HYDRA attack or a superhuman outbreak then they'd get jurisdiction over local authorities. It's activities and roster are classified. SHIELD has many different branches and ongoing operations, most of which are compartmentalized to the point where the Director is likely the only one who knows the full picture at any point in time. Current assets include the Helicarrier as the primary headquarters, a small fleet of quinjets, a series of SHIELD bases ranging from public knowledge to secret bunkers only Fury knows about, and a large arsenal of very advanced tech and weaponry. TIMELINE1945 - SHIELD founded by Director Peggy Carter Unknown - Director Carter retires. Dum Dum Dugan takes over. 1980s - Director Dugan Retires. Nicholas Fury takes over 1997 - Director Fury founds X-Factor 2002 - SHIELD existence divulged to the public in response to 9/11 attacks.
