History
"STRIKE, move it out!"

- Brock Rumlow

STRIKE was assigned to recapture the S.H.I.E.L.D. ship Lemurian Star from mercenaries led by Georges Batroc, a pirate with a reputation for maximum casualties.

When Steve Rogers was in the hospital after the assassination attempt of Nick Fury, STRIKE was sent by Alexander Pierce to bring him in for questioning.

Later they attacked Captain America in one of the lifts in the Triskelion, on the orders of Alexander Pierce who labelled him a fugitive.

They attempted and failed to capture Captain America and Black Widow in a mall after they went rogue.

Members of STRIKE were among those who captured Captain America, Black Widow, and Falcon after the three had a pitched battle in the streets of Washington, D.C. with the Winter Soldier.

Members of STRIKE battled loyal members of S.H.I.E.L.D. after Captain America revealed the HYDRA infiltration.

Members of a STRIKE team that belonged to Robert Gonzales’ faction of S.H.I.E.L.D. we’re sent with Thomas Calderon and Bobbi Morse to apprehend Skye after the Attack on the Playground.
