Premise

The book is special one-shot depicting the origin of S.H.I.E.L.D. and how Nick Fury came to lead it. It also features the first appearance of Rick Stoner, the original director of S.H.I.E.L.D. The story was created by editor Ralph Macchio, because he was not pleased with the origin of S.H.I.E.L.D. portrayed in the Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D. mini-series. The series uses retroactive continuity, altered the events of the previous two series, recasting them as a series of staged events designed to distract Fury from the resurrection plans of Hydra head Baron von Strucker.
The story also features Nick's brother, Jake Fury and Tony Stark prominently throughout, but they only appear as their alter egos Scorpio and Iron Man scarcely.
