Peruvian 0-8-4

"My country commissioned that weapon decades ago. After the fall of HYDRA, many scientists followed their Nazi friends to hide on this side of the world." "German engineering." "The weapon was lost during a clash in the jungle until today."

- Camilla Reyes and Phil Coulson

The 0-8-4 was the name given by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to the Tesseract-powered weapon discovered in Peru in 2013.

History
This Tesseract-powered piece of technology was developed by a group of former HYDRA scientists after World War II. It was made for the Peruvian government who wanted to use it against the rebels, but the weapon was temporally unstable, and it simply disappeared during the fight. The weapon traveled back in time, ending up at the same place but in the year 500 AD. Partially stuck in one great stone, the weapon was discovered 1,000 years later by the Incas, who built a temple around the stone.

In 2013, a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents led by Phil Coulson retrieved the object. Since it was deemed to be a very dangerous technology it was sent to the Slingshot facility for disposal.
