as a "sleeper" agent
working in an accounting department, Alexander Goodwin Pierce's
life would
take a sharp
turnaround
when Nick
Fury barged into
his life while on the run during the Deltite Affair.
Pierce
came out the SHIELD Academy a qualified top caliber field agent,
majoring in integrated civilian surveillance and decoding
high
level HYDRA dispatches. However he receded into the 'sleeper'
status and was living practically a civilian life in
the Soho district of Manhattan when
he was drafted into Fury's efforts to reclaim his organization
from
the vast conspiracy eating away at SHIELD.
Pierce's
idealism and belief in SHIELD made him the perfect match for
Fury in this trying time. After some transition time, Pierce
quickly shed pounds and even displayed a killer instinct that
world spell consequences for the future. Driven
by a desire to live up to his potential, Pierce launched a
mad frontal attack on
the HYDRA base commanded by the Hong Kong Supreme Hydra, Madame
Viper. His bravura was such that Viper's warped warrior code
ignited
a bizarre
obsession
with him.
Following the hearings in the aftermath of the Deltite Affair
and the demise of the agency, Pierce was assigned as custodian
to
SHIELD
Central. During this time, Pierce began receiving love letters
from Viper, who was incarcerated. These
notes left
him
psychologically
scarred, believing himself capable of horrible things. Pierce
was never aware of the last Delta LMD, Red, had escaped the
SHIELD satellite and hidden herself in the abandoned complex.
After
attacks by the Death’s Head Commandos, former SHIELD
agent the Contessa Valentina
Allegro De Fontaine and Al MacKenzie called on Pierce to learn
of where Fury was. Afraid that Fury would be next on their
list, Pierce joined their
party in seeking out Fury. Following their mission, Val helped
convince Nick
Fury to
return
and lead
a new SHIELD, and Pierce was among the first agents in the
new agency. The early months of this stripped down and smaller
scale
SHIELD
placed
Pierce in direct
combat with several
villains, including Leviathan and Lohan.
The escape of Viper from prison ignited Pierce's awkward feelings
for the femme fatale. Pierce was kidnapped and subsequently brainwashed
by Viper, who was part of a new HYDRA lead by the Yellow Claw.
Pierce broke the conditioning and watched the Viper explode herself.
As the new SHIELD grew, Pierce became one of its most viable
operatives, seen in actions involving Deathlok, the Punisher,
Damage Control, and the rouge mutant team, X-Force. The return
of Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker and HYDRA's massacre of 15,000
graduating SHIELD
agents struck a serious blow to the agency and Pierce was among
the lead operatives in the new fight against HYDRA.
Standing as one of SHIELD's best operatives,
Pierce harbored a fierce loyalty to Fury, to whom he owed
his new leash on life.
His
present whereabouts and condition are unknown.
