'''H.A.M.M.E.R.''' replaces S.H.I.E.L.D. after it is dissolved when [[Norman Osborn]] is appointed the new head following the conclusion of the [[Secret Invasion|Skrull attack]].<ref name="davengers1"/> It was not established what H.A.M.M.E.R. stands for; in ''Dark Avengers'' #1, Osborn told [[Victoria Hand]], the new Deputy Director, that it does stand for something, and when she asked what it stands for, he told her, "Get to work on it for me. That is one of the many things on your 'To Do' list".<ref name="davengers1"/> Former S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and members of Hydra are hired as agents. H.A.M.M.E.R. promotes Osborn's personal team of Avengers, a group composed mostly of former Thunderbolts members and former members of the Mighty Avengers. Osborn also eliminates all of Tony Stark's influence on S.H.I.E.L.D., including the Cape-Killer Armor and the Red and Gold Helicarrier. He also replaces all agents loyal to [[Nick Fury]], [[Captain America]], or [[Iron Man]] with agents loyal to himself. Also, in the ''[[Captain America: Reborn]]'' Prelude, when [[Sin (Marvel Comics)|Sin]], who is captured by H.A.M.M.E.R, asks what it stands for, the agent present says that it's classified and she does not have security clearance.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.marvel.com/digitalcomics/view.htm?iid=12669&title= |title=Captain America: Reborn Prelude Online Preview |publisher=Marvel.com |date=2009-06-30 |accessdate=2011-01-12}}</ref>
 
===S.P.E.A.R.===
In the pages of ''[[Avengers World]]'', S.P.E.A.R. is a Chinese intelligence-gathering organization created for home land security and has a flying headquarters called the Circle. It was created by the Chinese government to be on the same level as S.H.I.E.L.D. following [[Thanos]]' [[Infinity (comic book)|invasion of Earth]]. Falcon first encountered S.P.E.A.R. and their director Xian Zheng at the time when Gorgon planned to launch an attack on China using the giant dragon whose head is where Madripoor grows out of. When the Hand attacked the Circle, they deployed their own superhuman response team called the Ascendants which consists of Devastator III, Monkey King, Sabre III, Vector II, and Weather Witch).<ref>''Avengers World'' #7</ref>

** In ''[[Avengers: Age of Ultron]]'', S.H.I.E.L.D. is said to have collapsed. Fury appears to encourage the Avengers while Maria Hill now works for them. Fury later appears at the final battle in Sokovia with a Helicarrier he pulled out of mothballs, some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and James Rhodes to help. When asked, Steve Rogers comments that "this is what S.H.I.E.L.D. is supposed to be" as the Helicarrier is used to rescue thousands of people from their now-floating landmass before it is destroyed by Thor and Iron Man to save the world.
** In ''[[Ant-Man (film)|Ant-Man]]'', [[Hank Pym]] and [[Wasp (comics)|Janet Van Dyne]] were S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who worked with [[Peggy Carter]] and [[Howard Stark]] during the Cold War.<ref name="IGNSetVisit3">{{cite web|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/22/ant-man-set-and-edit-bay-visit-making-marvels-underdog-movie?page=3|title=Ant-Man Set And Edit Bay Visit: Making Marvel's Underdog Movie Page 3 of 3|last=Nicholson|first=Matt|publisher=[[IGN]]|date=June 22, 2015|accessdate=June 22, 2015|archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/6ZTrPSm5j|archivedate=June 22, 2015|deadurl=no}}</ref>
