Phil Coulson



An agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and a member of Secret Avengers. He is a character that was introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and has achieved status as a fan favorite.

Origin
To date Agent Coulson's origins have yet to be revealed. However, as he holds a position of command within S.H.I.E.L.D. thus we can assume that he has had some sort of military experience before joining.

Power and Abilities
As a human being, Agent Coulson doesn't have any super powers. However, his position of authority within S.H.I.E.L.D. gives him political power to repossess belongings, break into weapons manufacturing facilities and wield firearms in public places. In the first Iron Man movie it was hinted at that he already had experience in covering up mysterious deaths (by providing a cover story for Stane's death), which was also something that Erik Selvig was concerned about when he recalled S.H.I.E.L.D.'s involvement in the disappearance of Dr Banner.

Just like most agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson will had have undergone rigorous miliraty training, is adept with a firearms and remains calm under pressure.
