- "Where's the weapon?"
"The what?"
"Coulson, I found it. It's a Chitauri helmet." - ―Phil Coulson, Tony Diaz and Melinda May[src]
Chitauri Helmets are a piece of protective headgear worn by the Chitauri soldiers as they invaded Earth during the Battle of New York. One such helmet was found by volunteer firefighters after the battle.
History[]
- "What are you doing with the helmet?"
"The first time anyone's touched it since New York was a couple of nights ago." - ―Phil Coulson and Tony Diaz[src]
The Chitauri wore helmets during the Battle of New York.[1] When they were defeated by the Avengers, three volunteer firefighters named Adam Cross, Frank Whalen and Tony Diaz helped in the clean-up efforts after the battle. During the clean-up they found the helmet of one of the fallen Chitauri and decided to take the helmet as a souvenir.
The Chitauri Virus present in the Chitauri Helmet
A few months later, when they started to clean what they thought was rust, they liberated a virus carried by the wearer of the helmet that sequentially killed Cross, Whalen and Diaz before it infected Agent Jemma Simmons of S.H.I.E.L.D.
When Agent Phil Coulson's team recovered the Helmet, they transported it to a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility called the Sandbox that dealt with biological threats. Upon its arrival at the Sandbox, Agent Felix Blake's team took custody of the helmet.[2]
