Appointed Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. after the disappearance of Nick Fury, she conflicted constantly with the soldiers under her command and the Super Heroes with which she was forced to work. After the Super Hero Civil War when Iron Man was asked to step into the directorship, she was all too happy to step down. As Director, Iron Man has applies his business skills to the administration of S.H.I.E.L.D., reinventing the organization as a sleek, responsive military/industrial machine.
