Everett Ross

"Meals are at 8 and 5, toilet privileges twice a day. You raise your voice? Zap! Touch the glass? Zap! You step outta line and you deal with me. Please, step outta line."

- Everett Ross to Helmut Zemo

Everett K. Ross is the Deputy Task Force Commander of the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre. While working with Thaddeus Ross, he attempted to control and regulate the actions of the Avengers; however he came into conflict with Captain America when he targeted the Winter Soldier. Eventually, Tony Stark was able to clear the Winter Soldier's name, and prove that Helmut Zemo was to blame for the recent terrorist attacks. Ross subsequently took Zemo into custody after the latter was apprehended by T'Challa.

Capturing the Winter Soldier
"You'll be provided with an office instead of a cell, and do me a favour, stay in it." "I don't intend on going anywhere."

- Everett Ross and T'Challa

After the Winter Soldier was apprehended by the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre for the Bombing of the Vienna International Centre he was imprisoned in their headquarters in Berlin, Germany along with Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson and T'Challa. There, they met Everett Ross, who was introduced to the three by Sharon Carter. Ross confiscated their equipment, telling Rogers that he will write them a receipt. He escorted the heroes to the control room where he left them to survey Banes.

Behind the Scenes

 * Actor Martin Freeman described his character as: "someone who works for the American government and works in conjunction with the superheroes, and certain agencies that help to tame the superheroes' power, Freeman also added that Ross is "ambiguous" and "you don't know whether he's good or bad" so "you’re not quite sure which side he's on. It looks a little bit like he's playing one game when actually he's playing another."
