Line 28: ==Fictional organization history== The ramifications of the alien [[Skrull]]s' [[Secret Invasion\|invasion of Earth]] forced a massive ~~restructuring~~reestructuring of the United States' defense network. At the time, the country's primary peace keeping agency was [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]], led by civilian industrialist Tony Stark, aka, [[Iron Man]]. Because the Skrulls were able to compromise S.H.I.E.L.D.'s StarkTech technology, it was decided that S.H.I.E.L.D. was no longer an effective organization and Tony Stark was personally held accountable for the entire Skrull invasion. In the wake of this controversy, [[Thunderbolts (comics)\|Thunderbolts]] leader [[Norman Osborn]] manipulated the U.S. government into allowing him to serve as director of a replacement agency called H.A.M.M.E.R. Under Osborn's leadership, H.A.M.M.E.R. had administrative control over the entire [[Fifty State Initiative]].<ref>''Secret Invasion'' #8. Marvel Comics</ref> As the director of H.A.M.M.E.R., one of Osborn's first initiatives was to issue warrants for the arrest of former S.H.I.E.L.D. director Tony Stark and deputy director [[Maria Hill]]. Moreover, Osborn wanted access to the database containing the identities of every hero registered under the [[Registration acts (comics)#2006 Superhuman Registration Act\|Superhuman Registration Act]]. To prevent Osborn from getting his hands on such vital information, Tony Stark took measures to erase all known resources containing this sensitive information, including his own mind.<ref>''Invincible Iron Man'' #9.
