In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, S.H.I.E.L.D. was founded by Strategic Scientific Reserve agent Peggy Carter, along with Chester Phillips and Howard Stark in the 1950s. It was later revealed in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, that S.H.I.E.L.D. was infiltrated by Hydra since its formation. When Hydra emerges in 2014, S.H.I.E.L.D. is labeled as a terrorist organization while most of its non-Hydra members leave S.H.I.E.L.D. to work the private sector or go off the grid. In the finale of the first season of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury charges Phil Coulson with rebuilding the organization as the new director.
