This is something that has always irked me, but has anyone here noticed the quite different portayals of S.H.I.E.L.D in USM and Ultimates, or in other words, Bendis and Millar?
Take a look at S.H.I.E.L.D in USM, and even in Ultimate Six, and we see a lot of things that are nowhere to be found in the Ultimates. For a start, black suited MIB-esque agents like Woo and Sharon Carter, and in the second GG arc and the recent Hobgoblin arc we see all these high tech flying suits piloted by S.H.I.E.L.D agents branding all manner of laser guns. In fact, in the Hobgoblin arc, they're refferred to as the Hulkbuster unit, something which isn't even mentioned in the Ultimates. How come we don't see these soldiers in action during the Chitauri invasion, or fighting against Thor or something?
I for one don't like the way S.H.I.E.L.D is portrayed in USM. It's far too cheesy with all it's laser guns and shady agents, and seems far too close to 616 S.H.I.E.L.D for my liking.
For me, the definitive version of S.H.I.E.L.D is and always will be from The Ultimates series, from Millars writings.
What do you guys think of this?
