Malick was one of the first four known members of the World Security Council that oversaw the actions of S.H.I.E.L.D. Malick was strongly opposed to the actions taken by director Fury involving the Avengers and their fight in New York City, overriding Fury's orders by sending a nuclear missile into Manhattan and the relocation of Loki Laufeyson to Asgard.

Behind the scenes[]

When Powers Boothe's appearance in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was announced, his character was presented as "a notorious man whose current loyalties remain a mystery". Jeph Loeb said about him: "Gideon is incredibly menacing and in him we have a character that even the stone-cold Grant Ward would fear."
