Howling Commandos
 |
Appearances SHIELD was disbanded in the wake of the Skrull invasion and replaced by a new security agency, H.A.M.M.E.R., formed by Norman Osborne. 1,200 SHIELD agents refused a transfer to the new agency and former Howlers Dum Dum Dugan took most of them to form Howling Commandos, a paramilitary group for hire.
