Character(s): Supremus [Ulysses Abboud]; Nick Fury; Tony Stark; Cedric Twigg-Smythe (Britain's most inhuman killer, cameo); Pierre St. Cyr (Criminal Czar of all France, cameo); Tumumba (African political assassin, cameo); Pepe Soulange (underworld king of the Casbah, cameo); Dum Dum Dugan; Guiseppi Valenti (Sicilian assassin); Half-Man (android); Fatima Abboud (Supremus's half-sister); Jimmy Woo; Gabe Jones

Synopsis: Riots break out around the world following an assassination attempt on Fury. Other agents are being killed and the leaders of the riots exhibit no emotions. Aboard the Heli-Carrier a meeting of the board of directors is interrupted by a transmission from Supremus, who orders SHIELD to disband in the wake of Fury's death. Supremus plans to turn the world into a "laboratory" using genetic manipulation to turn the human race into slaves. With the help of Fatima, a woman seen at the riot in London, Nick stops Supremus from setting off hidden caches of "zombie gas" in the US by remote control.

Notes: Trimpe assisted on numerous pages/panels, including page 1, 6, 10, 11-13 and 16. Info per Nick Caputo, January 2018.

Tony Stark last seen in a SHIELD episode in STRANGE TALES #152 (January 1967). Fury gets a new Ferrari (between episodes) to replace the one destroyed by Scorpio in NICK FURY, AGENT OF SHIELD #5 (October 1968). Plot structure more confusing & awkward than usual.
