History
The history of the Howling Commandos of largely mirrors that of their Earth-616 counterparts.
The Howling Commandos were formed during World War II and led by Nick Fury in the battle against the Nazis. [1] When Nick Fury was made head of America's new spy agency S.H.I.E.L.D., most of the Howling Commandos joined him.[1]
Decades later, after the mutation of humanity, former super-villain Norman Osborn made a bid for power over the collapsing United States. Using the Bloodstone Files, Norman created the parasitic Hydra, a biological entity which subsumed and converted its victims. Posing the Hydra as alien invaders, Osborn managed to rally most of the superhuman community behind him. When S.H.I.E.L.D. discovered that Norman was in fact behind the Hydra, he had them attack the agency before they could act on their discovery.[1]
Fury and the other surviving Howling Commandos perished in the attack. After their deaths, they found themselves reunited in the Realm of the Dead, fighting a never-ending war against their deceased enemies, while believing themselves to still be alive. When Kree hero Mar-Vell began his quest to destroy Death and free the souls of the deceased, the Howling Commandos joined him. When all appeared lost during the final battle against Death, the recently deceased Captain America rallied the dead, including the Howling Commandos, and won the battle. [2]
The Howling Commandos were among the first to take refuge in the new Paradise, a new realm created for the dead by Mar-Vell. When Paradise came under attack by the Kree, the Commandos defended it. [3]See Also
