Agents of Atlas
Encyclopedia
Agents of Atlas is a fictional
superhero
team in comic books published by Marvel Comics
. It is composed of characters originally appearing in unrelated stories published in the 1950s by Marvel's predecessor company, Atlas Comics
.
The characters debuted as a team in What If
#9 (June 1978), and starred in the 2006
limited series
, Agents of Atlas, the latter written by Jeff Parker, with art by Leonard Kirk
.
#9 (June 1978) and then reappeared in
Avengers Forever
(1998-2000 miniseries).
The limited series Agents of Atlas #1-6 (Oct. 2006 - March 2007) was set in the present day and likewise set in mainstream continuity. The series emerged from what writer Parker called "a huge editorial hunch" at Marvel, and said the revival of the characters "is something that [editor] Mark Paniccia was looking at and [for which he] thought specifically of me, and asked me what I would do with it". Paniccia says the idea came to him when he picked up a copy of the What if? story and found the cover "intriguing; it instantly tickles the nostalgia bone".
The team made a brief appearance in the "The Resistance", an eight-page story that was part of the Secret Invasion
crossover story arc. Parker and editor Paniccia said in July 2008, that the former will write an Agents of Atlas ongoing series which is one of the titles launching as part of the Dark Reign
storyline. That series ended after eleven issues but the title relaunches as part of the "Heroic Age
" under the title Atlas because, according to Parker, it not only makes for a smaller logo but it is a "natural progression to what most people call the book and the team." The series was cancelled with Atlas #5.
Other characters from the original story, such as Jann of the Jungle
, made guest appearances. Parker explained that original What if? team-member 3-D Man
was left out "[b]ecause he wasn't really around in the 1950s".
When the Agents of Atlas took over the Atlas Foundation, the following have joined (only as Atlas Foundation members):
agent Jimmy Woo
to rescue President Dwight D. Eisenhower
from the villainous Yellow Claw
. Woo first recruits Venus and Marvel Boy
. He then tries to recruit Namora
, who declines but tells Woo where to find a broken but potentially useful robot named M-11
. While Marvel Boy fixes M-11, Woo asks Jann of the Jungle
to take Marvel Boy to extend an invitation to Gorilla-Man, who accepts Woo's offer. The group quickly rescues President Eisenhower and remains together for six months until the federal government, deciding the public is not ready for such a group, disbands it and classifies information about it.
Years later, Woo, by now a high-ranking agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
, attempts a secret raid of a group identified as the Atlas Foundation. Going AWOL and taking several other willing agents with him, Woo infiltrates an Atlas location, resulting in all of the recruits being killed. Woo himself is critically burned and loses his higher brain functions. Gorilla-Man, by now also a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, gives the organization a record of the 1950s team, of which S.H.I.E.L.D. had no knowledge, and rescues Woo with the aid of M-11 and Marvel Boy, who restores Woo to his 1958 self. Namora, whom the group believed dead, returns and joins the Agents. The team learns M-11 is a double agent
for the Yellow Claw, and that Venus is one of the legendary Siren
s given flesh, and not the Venus/Aphrodite
of legend.
Using M-11 as a beacon, the heroes find the Yellow Claw, who reveals his true identity, Plan Chu, an almost immortal Mongol khan
who claims he has orchestrated each of his battles with Woo only to establish Woo's worthiness to marry Suwan and succeed him as khan. Chu created Atlas to put Woo again in the spotlight. Woo accepts his destiny, takes over Atlas hoping to turn it into a force for good, and the Yellow Claw, having found his heir, appears to commit suicide. They resurfaced in New York City
, where the team, together with Spider-Man
, defeated Temple of Atlas splinter cells still loyal to the Yellow Claw. They later worked as a resistance cell against the invasion of Earth
by the shapeshifting alien race the Skrulls.
Following the Skrull defeat and the rise
of Norman Osborn
to power, the Agents of Atlas decide to oppose Osborn's agenda by taking on the role of "supervillains". Their first act is to attack Fort Knox
and steal the gold reserve, which Osborn planned on using to finance a secret weapons system.
The Agents of Atlas later fight the Thunderbolts
. The fight later rages on as the chemicals causes both teams to retreat.
strategy to promote the series, fans could participate in an alternate reality game
centered around the "Temple of Atlas" weblog on Marvel's website. There, readers received weekly prose excerpts of the exploits of Jimmy Woo and his team, and were given "missions" from the Temple's curator, the mysterious "Mr. Lao". The goal was to discover each week's keyword by following textual clues Lao would post on the messageboards of such comic-book webzines as Newsarama
and Comic Book Resources
. They, along with IGN.com and Comics Bulletin
, would also feature fake news posts that players would be led toward, containing more clues for finding keywords. Anagrams were regular, and on several occasions one keyword had to be taken "into the field" by going to a local comic shop and saying the phrase to the staff in order to receive a keyword in response. On two occasions, players were required to attend a Heroes Convention
and the San Diego
Comic-Con International
to find keywords.
