DC HERO AT MARVEL

S.W.O.R.D.

In the comics, Marvel four bureaus include S.W.O.R.D., S.H.I.E.L.D., Armor, and the X-Men.

Armor is responsible for parallel universe affairs, composed of Earthlings, and often, after gathering intelligence, they hand over relevant matters to S.H.I.E.L.D. or S.W.O.R.D. for handling.

The X-Men, needless to say, consist of mutants, with Professor X as their spiritual leader.

When duties overlap, S.H.I.E.L.D. usually takes precedence.

Of course, in the current movie universe, neither Armor nor the X-Men exist.

S.H.I.E.L.D. needs no explanation those who know, know.

So, let focus specifically on S.W.O.R.D.

Following the proper timeline logic, S.W.O.R.D. appeared in the TV show "WandaVision," emerging gradually after the Endgame.

Right from its debut, S.W.O.R.D. dissected—or rather dismantled—Vision body, claiming it as a highly valuable resource, showing even less familial regard than S.H.I.E.L.D.

Such actions provoked Wanda fury, leading her to use powerful reality-altering magic to shield Westview and create a Vision who could only exist in that illusion, sparking a series of events.

All these trivial plot points are actually not important.

Wanda and Vision domestic life isn't much to look at, except for Wanda red costume, which, despite being highly comic-accurate, is painfully ugly.

However, it worth noting that S.W.O.R.D. wasn't established after the dissolution or restructuring of S.H.I.E.L.D. during "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," but had existed long before.

In the last century, following the incident with Captain Marvel that triggered the Skrull invasion, Captain Marvel friend, Maria Rambeau, the African American pilot, founded S.W.O.R.D. based on strategic needs to handle extraterrestrial matters and resolve interstellar disputes.

Crucially, S.W.O.R.D. is comprised of both Earthlings and aliens.

Of course, there is only one type of alien in its ranks.

These are the Skrulls with shape-shifting abilities that appeared in Captain Marvel.

Due to sparse information, from the logic of the movie universe, S.W.O.R.D. was originally supposed to be a secondary agency under S.H.I.E.L.D., with Maria Rambeau as the director and Nick Fury as the hidden hand behind it, constantly expanding it.

After the dissolution of S.H.I.E.L.D., S.W.O.R.D. naturally took over S.H.I.E.L.D. place, becoming a direct agency under the World Security Council.

Currently, S.H.I.E.L.D. has not yet disbanded, so S.W.O.R.D. is likely still an internal, little-known secondary department within S.H.I.E.L.D.

It Nick Fury recent transfer that has made this department more widely known.

Speaking of which, why would Nick Fury voluntarily apply to transfer to S.W.O.R.D.?

Isn't that contradicting himself?

Various thoughts flashed through Anton mind as he recalled information about S.W.O.R.D.

His slightly furrowed brow made Agent Z, his deputy, sense something was amiss.

"Anton, is there a problem?"

Z felt an unprecedented pressure emanating from Anton, something he hadn't felt during their initial encounters half a month ago, which presented a very different Anton who was all smiles.

He was taken aback, revising his impression of Anton and no longer dared to regard him as just an ordinary person.

One could deduce that someone who could serve as the only non-superhero member of the Justice League was not someone to be underestimated.

Recalling Anton records.

Z remembered reading in a file that, on the eve of the Battle of Washington, Anton single-handedly and unscathed took down several terrorists at Columbia University, saving everyone at the event with exceptional skill...

It just that his teammates were so formidable that it was easy to overlook him, this great director.

"The problem is serious," Anton suddenly said, pulling Z back from his reverie.

Then, Z heard the question Anton threw at him.

Anton asked, "Do you know what S.W.O.R.D. does?"

"Uh, I don't know," Z thought for a moment and then said, "But I've heard that S.W.O.R.D. is just a secondary department of S.H.I.E.L.D., probably akin to S.H.I.E.L.D. intelligence division."

"This intelligence division is not so simple."

Since Z was his deputy and most of the Men in Black operations would likely involve Z, Anton didn't mind sharing some classified information with him.

"I think you may not be aware that as early as the last century, aliens had invaded Earth."

"What?" Z showed a look of astonishment he really didn't know this.

The information about the Kree invasion had always been a secret among nations, with the American side having the most information.

However, it wasn't something an agent like Z could access, usually only accessible to department heads.

Typically, only someone at John Kler level would be aware of aliens.

Of course, things are different now.

The existence of aliens is no longer a secret and has even become a hot topic widely circulated in the media, no longer a novelty.

Many details about aliens no longer hold the highest level of confidentiality.

"They are called the Kree," Anton said.

"In the last century, due to certain reasons, the Kree invaded Earth, but were eventually repelled."

"Repelled? In the last century?" Z was even more baffled.

It sounded like a myth to him.

Earth in the last century was certainly not as strong as it is in this century, yet it managed to repel invaders who could travel across the vast universe...

Gulp! Z couldn't help but swallow, his face showing an undeniable shock.

"I don't want to go into details about what exactly happened, but after that incident, S.W.O.R.D. was established," Anton tone turned calm as he continued,

"The key point is, as far as I know, during that incident, an alien race infiltrated Earth.

About this matter, probably only a handful of people around the world are informed... and the organization that handled it at the time was S.H.I.E.L.D."

"But what does that have to do with S.W.O.R.D.?" Z couldn't help but interject.

Actually, an unbelievable thought had crossed his mind, but he dared not believe it to be true.

If things really were as he thought, S.H.I.E.L.D. was far bolder than imagined.

"That alien race is called the Skrulls, those Skrulls have shape-shifting abilities, and after transforming, they can retain some of the memories of the person for a short time. They are a naturally superpowered alien race..." Anton spoke slowly.

This statement completely confirmed Z suspicions.

His eyes widened as he listened to Anton final words.

"I can affirm that S.W.O.R.D. is a department composed of Earthlings and aliens... At this time, many of those Skrulls hidden on Earth are part of S.W.O.R.D., carrying out operations around the world."

Agent Z was silent for a long time.

As a member of the Men in Black and especially as the deputy to Anton, the head of the department, he read between the lines of Anton words.
