| - Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Mitchell Carson joined S.H.I.E.L.D. prior to 1989 and was appointed Head of Defense. Secretly, he was also a part of HYDRA, which had infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. since the beginning of the organization's existence. By 1989, Mitchell Carson collaborated with Howard Stark in an attempt at replicating the Pym Particles created by teenager Hank Pym to create a version that could be used by S.H.I.E.L.D..
Hank Pym's Resignation
In 1989, during the construction of the Triskelion, discovering that S.H.I.E.L.D. was trying to replicate the Pym Particles from the Ant-Man technology, Hank Pym confronted Carson, Peggy Carter and Howard Stark. Carson insulted Pym, implying his lack of fervor was partly responsible for his involvement with his girlfriend, to which Pym responded by slamming his face into his desk and warning him about ever mentioning his girlfriend again. Pym proceeded to resign from S.H.I.E.L.D., taking his technology with him and vowing to never allow anyone to ever use it again. Suffering a nose bleed, Carson advised Stark and Carter not to allow Pym to leave; Carter asked if he wanted to make Pym his enemy. Stark noted that Carson lost a fight to a full-sized Pym; Carson would have no hope against him in miniature.
Fall of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. revealed Carson's allegiance to HYDRA. He became known for attempting to "take down governments". Multiple images placed him at conflict sites holding weapons.
