Origin Sharon in Tales of Suspense 75 When Sharon's aunt Peggy Carter returned from World War II she told Sharon about the many adventures she would go on with the French Resistance, which inspired Sharon to decide to join SHIELD . Given the codename Agent 13, her first mission was to retrieve an explosive called Inferno-42 from a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who had stolen it from THEM. After Sharon retrieved the explosive, a mercenary named Batroc was hired by THEM to steal it back. Luckily, Captain America had come just in time to help her, and while Captain America and Batroc were fighting each other, she ran off. Little did she know that the casing had been cracked, activating the explosive. Captain America had found out that Sharon was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and had saved her life from the explosive and THEM.
