SHIELD Code: 001 SHIELD Code: 009 Iron Man Variant: Stealth Iron Man

Multi-billionare industrialist Tony Stark has lived a double life as the hero IRON MAN for years. He is an engineering genius; the best weapons designer on the planet. He personally builds every iteration of the IRON MAN armor, trusting no one but himself with the powerful technology he harnesses. He has used his dual role both for personal gain, and the glory of mankind, as a solo adventurer, and a founding member of the AVENGERS.

SHIELD Code: 003 Silver Surfer

Once held in thrall to the immortal planet-eater GALACTUS, the SILVER SURFER long ago regained his free will, and adopted Earth as his home. Recently, however, he has ventured back out into the deep, alien reaches of space, in search of new meaning to his life. He has found it in renewed service to great GALACTUS. He takes it upon himself to guide the ancient being wherever he can do the greatest good - or the least harm.

SHIELD Code: 008 Daredevil

Though he is blind, DAREDEVIL perceives far more than most people. His senses heightened to superhuman levels by a childhood accident, he lives a world of continuous sensation. He can smell lies on a man's breath, or hear the panicked heartbeat of a mugging victim from ten blocks away. His uncanny radar sense paints a detailed picture of the world around him, allowing him to dodge bullets, and survive incredible dives from the rooftops to the streets.

SHIELD Code: 007 SHIELD Code: 011 SHIELD Code: 011 Human Torch Variant: Johnny Storm Variant: Johnny Storm

Johnny Storm was barely more than a kid when overexposure to cosmic radiation gave him his powers. At first, his youth made it difficult to control his powers, but years of experience have taught him a deep understanding of his talents. Now, a mere act of will is enough to cover his body with fire and fly at supersonic speeds, while the barest effort can result in a flame many times hotter than the sun.

SHIELD Code: 004 Punisher

Frank Castle, a.k.a. the PUNISHER is the most dangerous man the world has ever seen. He operates in a shadowy realm far away from the spotlight occupied by the regular heroes. Walking the dangerous line between hero and criminal, he fights the fight that is too dark and dirty for most. He's not a man out to right wrongs or protect the innocent. Instead, he fights a war to destroy crime, and punish the guilty.

SHIELD Code: 005 Black Panther

T'challa is the heir of more than royal blood and the crown of a weathly country. He is part of the ancient tradition of the BLACK PANTHER. His mind and body have been enhanced by the secret infusion of the heart-shaped herb, turning him into one of the foremost fighters in the world. He enhances his phenomenal physical prowess with a high-tech, bulletproof suit that allows him to blend into shadows, or generate energy claws capable of slicing even the hardest materials.

SHIELD Code: 010 Bullseye

Though he lacks superhuman abilities, BULLSEYE is far more dangerous than many powered individuals. His skill with thrown weapons is unsurpassed, and his fighting skills are equal to those of even the most highly trained ninjas in the world. He makes his living as a freelance assassin, a job he enjoys a great deal. Any edged or sharpened object instantly becomes a deadly weapon in his hands.

SHIELD Code: 002 SHIELD Code: 002 Spider-Man Variant: Spider-Man

When he was 14 years old, Peter Parker was bitten by a spider that had been irradiated in a nuclear experiment. Something in the spider's venom changed him, over night, from the nerdy kid he'd been to something else entirely. Given incredible strength, speed and stamina, he reveled in his power. The tragic death of his uncle threw Peter's good fortune into fierce perspective, giving him direction. From that day on, he vowed to battle evil wherever he could find it as The Amazing SPIDER-MAN.

SHIELD Code: 006 X-Force Wolverine

Claws are only part of what makes WOLVERINE so dangerous. He has already lived three lifetimes, kept young and healthy by the healing factor that prevents him from being killed or badly injured. During that time, he has fought in a dozen wars, and learned more ways to fight than any person before him. Trained for decades and honed to perfection in the fire of countless battles, he is the ultimate soldier; the ideal warrior.
