S.H.I.E.L.D. is a fictional government spy agency featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Originally the acronym stood for Supreme Headquarters International Espionage Law-Enforcement Division, but later iterations of the organization saw the name changed to Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division.
S.H.I.E.L.D. first appeared in 1965 in the first story in issue #135 of Strange Tales, which is the same issue that brought Nick Fury into the modern era as the new director S.H.I.E.L.D. In television, the group was first seen in the 1982 animated series Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends in the season three episode, "Mission: Save the Guardstar". It has since made appearances in other Marvel licensed projects since then including the 1992 X-Men cartoon, Iron Man: Armored Adventures, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Ultimate Spider-Man and Super Hero Squad Show.
In 1998, S.H.I.E.L.D. made it's live-action debut on the small screen in the television movie Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD where the title role of Nick Fury was played by former Knight Rider star David Hasselhoff.
S.H.I.E.L.D. had a recurring presence in the shared continuity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which included notable films such as Iron Man in 2008, Iron Man 2 in 2010, Captain America and Thor, both in 2011 and The Avengers in 2012. S.H.I.E.L.D. took the high road in 2013 with it's own TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on ABC, which was a spin-off of the previous Marvel licensed films.
