Abilities
As a cyborg, Garrett has plastic skin and metal alloys in his bones, granting him extraordinary physical resilience. His muscular system, featuring a combination of pneumatics, hydraulics, and internally generated, electrical power, grants him vastly amplified strength. He is highly skilled in armed and unarmed combat, demonstrating superlative physical skill and tactical ingenuity. Garrett is an excellent marksman, and unusually adept with S.H.I.E.L.D. technology.

Other Info
Johnathan Garrett's life before S.H.I.E.L.D. was a life of a criminal activity. He was in and out of jail and prison. He had a long criminal record including larceny, battery, assaults, drunkenness, and more. Despite his despicable past, John Garrett was able to join S.H.I.E.L.D. However, even as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Garrett was known for his arrogance, offensiveness, disregard for standard procedures, and his lack of personal hygiene. (Click on the highlighted name above to learn more about S.H.I.E.L.D.)

Later on, Agent Garrett was "upgraded" and rebuilt as a cyborg, with a six-inch removable portion on the top of his skull. This was done so there could be a recorder placed in there. In addition, he was given a cybernetic right hand.

Sometime later, Agent Garrett and his partner Agent Perry were sent to San Concepcion as part of Operation: Scrambled Eggs, to investigate the assassination of President Carlos Huevos. Upon further investigation, they found out that the hired assassin was Elektra. While researching Elektra's past, Garrett became a victim of a psychic link with her. Due to this link, Elektra began influencing his perceptions and manipulating his actions. She directed Garrett to purge all of the evidence he had gathered. Eventually, when Garrett confronted Elektra, she blew up the harbor building in which they were in. (To learn about the characters above, just click on their highlighted names. Note: Beware of the very form-fitting outfits on Elektra's bio page.)

After the explosion, Agent Garrett's body was recovered by ExTechOp, who began to replace his missing body parts (80% of his body, including his limbs and most of his vital organs) with cybernetic ones. Working tirelessly, S.H.I.E.L.D. engineers successfully replaced Garrett's arms, legs, spine, nervous system, heart, liver, and lungs. However, soon after they removed the recorder implant from Garrett's head, Elektra slipped in and stole it. Agent Garrett, now completely rebuilt and active, filed his report on Elektra; however, he pretended not to know her identity and claimed that she was a Russian agent. But, his story wasn't believed by Nick Fury or his superior, Dr. Breaker. (Note: Beware of the low-cut out fit of one in the background of Nick Fury's bio page.)

Mostly back in his own mind at this point, Garrett recalled that Elektra would be going after Ambassador Reich (who was unknowingly possessed by the demonic "Beast" that controlled the group known as the Hand). Elektra knew that Garrett intended to stop her, and she sent him on a wild goose chase while she successfully accomplished her mission. However, Reich had already transferred the Beast into Ken Wind--a strong candidate for president of the United States. (To learn about the Hand, click on the highlighted name above.)

Later on, Agent Garrett was sent to meet with Ken Wind and offer him protection, but due to his interactions with Elektra, he was able to detect the stench of The Beast on Wind. Elektra was also there, but the Hand had attempted to lead Elektra to a location where they could kill her, but Garrett rushed to her rescue, fighting off his own allies and successfully saved Elektra. He also opposed the Beast itself and nearly died after having his hand blown off, but Elektra saved him in return.

After this, Garrett was nearby when Elektra communed with The Beast of the Hand, and he learned of the demon's plot to annihilate all life on Earth by having the U.S. president launch a nuclear missile attack. Realizing that Ken Wind needed to be killed so The Beast could die too, both Garrett and Elektra prepared for an assault on Ken Wind.

At the victory rally for Ken Wind's election, Garrett posed as an ice cream vendor, while Elektra hid out in the shadows, waiting for a chance to assassinate Wind. When S.H.I.E.L.D. agents showed up to apprehend Garrett, he ended up pulling a rocket launcher out from his ice cream stand and fired at Wind. But, he was shot in the shoulder which made him miss. In the following chaos, Garrett and Elektra were assaulted by the rebuilt, and Hand-controlled, Agent Perry and the evil Chuck the Dwarf. At one point, Garrett rushed at Wind; however, Perry stopped him and proceeded to batter him mercilessly, dismantling and dismembering him. However, Elektra managed to destroy Perry and drive The Beast from Wind.

Sometime later, agents of the Snakeroot assaulted the S.H.I.E.L.D. substation and their leader Tekagi took Agent Garrett. Now, in the stronghold of the Snakeroot, Tekagi revealed that since Garrett and Elektra had merged on the plane of the mind, a fragment of her persona still existed within Garrett's mind. Therefore, the Snakeroot went forward with their plan and transferred the dark essence of Elektra from Garrett's mind into a female corpse, which was reanimated as "Erynys." At the same time, other technicians continued the process of rebuilding Garrett. A now completed Garrett and Erynys were then used to attack Daredevil and the Chaste member Stone. However, Garrett confused Erynys for Elektra. So, even when the real Elektra showed up, Garrett still followed Erynys command to flee. (To learn about the characters above, just click on their highlighted names.)

Eventually, over time, Garrett was re-captured and placed in a S.H.I.E.L.D. detention cell.

Later on, as the war against HYDRA and Leviathan grew, Nick Fury reactivated Agent Garrett as a member of the Zodiac (Great Wheel). Under Fury's command, Garrett is one of the few relics of S.H.I.E.L.D. to understand the full scope of this conflict. He also sent the cyber-warrior Siege to watch over Garrett to make sure he towed the line. (To learn about HYDRA and/or Siege, click on their names above.)

More recently, Agent Garrett was identified as a current member of the Howling Commandos Private Military Company (PMC).

There is nothing there, but here is the link to Agent Garrett's bio on Marvel.com, http://marvel.com/universe/Garrett,_John.

Agent Garrett appears in the TV show, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Like the comics, he does have some cypernetics, until at one point he transforms himself into a cyborg to try to save his life. (Also, Agent Garrett as a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent (top) and as a cyborg (bottom) is shown in the second picture posted above.)

Abilities

Other Info
Agent Brent Montgomery Jackson was a brash agent of SHIELD. However, Jackson soon gained the notice of the Director (Malcolm Colcord) of the Weapon X program. The Director recruited Agent Jackson to act as a mole within SHIELD. (To learn about the team, character, and/or program, just click on the highlighted names above.)

Later, when Wolverine was framed for the murder of Senator Drexel Walsh, Nick Fury was supposed to bring him in. However, due to a conflict of interest, Fury could not go after Wolverine himself. So, Fury decided to dispatch Agent Jackson instead to organize the capture. However, Agent Jackson also received directions from the Director of Weapon X to retrieve Wolverine and imprison him in The Cage (a high-powered prison). After the capture, Logan would then be handed over to Sabretooth--who was also working for Weapon X. Nick Fury, however, suspected that Agent Jackson would have Logan killed, so he hired a bounty hunter named Shiver Man to capture Wolverine before SHIELD did. Ultimately, Shiver Man failed in his attempt, and Agent Jackson managed to trap Logan with the help of a Life Model Decoy (LMD) of Nick Fury. (Click on the highlighted characters and/or item above to learn more about them.)

After some time, the Director began to distrust Jackson. It was during an argument over Sabretooth's loyalties and criminal behavior, that the Colcord slapped Jackson. When Jackson tried to retaliate, he learned that he had a chip implanted in him to prevent him from doing so. After this attempt to attack the Director, Jackson was suspended from duty and imprisoned.

Later on, Colcord decided to return Agent Jackson to duty, but under close observation. However, Jackson cleverly worked to gain the trust of some misfit agents, such as Wild Child, Sauron, and Washout. When the Director became wrapped up in a newfound relationship with Aurora, Jackson used this moment to stage a coup with his small faction of agents and with a truce with the Underground. Upon their success, Jackson turned on the Underground and declared himself the new Director of Weapon X. (To learn about the characters and/or group above, just click on their highlighted names. Note: Beware of the revealing/form-fitting outfits on Aurora's bio page.)

More recently, due to the War of the Programs, Jackson and his troops have gone into hiding.

Currently, Director Jackson's whereabouts are unknown.

In the film Thor, a SHIELD agent makes a very small appearance that is credited as "Agent Jackson." I don't know for sure if the director for the movie, or if Marvel, was trying to use names of characters from the comics, but the character in the movie is a SHIELD agent and is named Agent Jackson; therefore, I decided to highlight Brent Jackson. In the film, Agent Jackson makes an appearance with another SHIELD agent named Agent Garrett. They have only a quick conversation...

GARRETT: [about Thor's Asgard buddies] Is there a Renaissance Fair in town?
JACKSON: Call it in.
GARRETT: Yeah. Uh, base, we've got, uh, Xena, Jackie Chan, and Robin Hood.

Abilities
H.E.R.B.I.E. was built with the ability to fly with his attached jets, interface with computers, use his own mechanisms to make complex calculations, and was later designed to fire optical neural blasts by Sun's consciousness.

Other Info
Mister Fantastic originally created H.E.R.B.I.E. with the help of Master Xar of the Xandarians, because they hoped that the robot could aid in their search for Galactus, who they sought for help in defeating the villain known as the Sphinx. What neither of the creators realized, however, was that Doctor Sun (an enemy of Master Xar) had trapped his consciousness within Xandarian computers so he was able to escape by jumping from the computer to H.E.R.B.I.E.'s body. (To learn about the above highlighted characters, and/or race, just click on their names.)

As Doctor Sun's sleeper agent, H.E.R.B.I.E. was controlled by the doctor in whenever he wished. In fact, he used H.E.R.B.I.E. to kill an alien pirate. H.E.R.B.I.E. was also used to help Blastaar escape the Negative Zone and try to kill the Fantastic Four--which ultimately failed. However, nobody expected the robot who was present in all these situations as being responsible for the acts. (To learn about Blastaar and/or the Negative Zone, just click on their highlighted names above.)

Reed Richards used H.E.R.B.I.E.'s living computer technology, to speed up calculations when he was away from the Baxter Building's computers. Mister Fantastic continued to use H.E.R.B.I.E.’s abilities although the robot often displayed mysterious signs of autonomy. (Click on the highlighted name above to learn about the Baxter Building.)

One day, Doctor Sun used H.E.R.B.I.E. to attack the Fantastic Four himself. He started with the Invisible Woman. The crafty robot appeared in Susan's bedroom which concerned her because the robot was programmed to not enter any of the Fantastic Four's private quarters. Sensing danger, the Invisible Woman put up her force field just barely in time to avoid being hit by the robot's blast. However, H.E.R.B.I.E. warned her that he knew how to push her to her breaking point. With the continual power blasts from H.E.R.B.I.E., Sue soon released it was too much to bear and she let her force field down and went invisible. The robot, however, used his infrared sensors and easily saw the fleeing woman's image and H.E.R.B.I.E. shot another power blast at her, which stunned the Invisible Woman into unconsciousness. He then tapped into the Baxter Building's own defenses and directed four large metal coils to come out of the wall and wrap tightly around Sue so she could not escape. H.E.R.B.I.E. again used the Baxter Building's security systems to trap the Human Torch. He then beat both Mister Fanstatic and the Thing with his weapons. (To learn about most of the members of the Fantastic Four, just click on their highlighted names above.)

After subduing the four, Doctor Sun uploaded himself into the Baxter Building’s computers to gain more power. However, Reed was able to shut down the building’s systems and stop the doctor. As a result, H.E.R.B.I.E. became free of the villain's influence. The robot realized that Dr. Sun could always simply return to his body though; therefore, not wanting that to ever happen again, H.E.R.B.I.E. heroically sacrificed himself by throwing himself into the computer--destroying it, Doctor Sun, and himself.

Since then, Reed Richards has used H.E.R.B.I.E.’s appearance and design in other robot creations he was built over the years. They usually served just general duties around the Baxter Building. Most notably, however, the original H.E.R.B.I.E.'s voice was used as the new Baxter Building’s computer system's voice.

More recently, a newer version of H.E.R.B.I.E. has been created, in part, to act as guardian to Franklin and Valeria Richards. (To learn about the Richards children, just click on their names above.)

A deactivated H.E.R.B.I.E. makes a cameo in the "Extended cut" of the movie, Fantastic Four. The scene shows Reed and Sue in a storage room of the Baxter Building and the deactivated H.E.R.B.I.E. is seen on a shelf.
