Hostage Situation[]
- "That photo was taken five years after Nick and I met, when I was at State Department in Bogotá."
- ―Alexander Pierce[src]
Photo of Nick Fury and Alexander Pierce in Colombia
Alexander Pierce was designated with the State Department in Bogotá, when a group of Colombian National Liberation Army members was able to take the United States embassy. Though security was able to take Pierce out safe and sound, the rebels managed to take hostages, including Pierce's daughter.
Nick Fury, deputy chief for the S.H.I.E.L.D. station in Bogotá, and whom Pierce met five years earlier, elaborated a plan to storm the building through the sewers and presented it to Pierce, who preferred to use the diplomatic path and negotiate the liberation of the hostages.
Fury ignored Pierce's direct order and carried out an unauthorized military operation on foreign soil. When the rebels, who did not intend to negotiate, put a kill order on the hostages and stormed the basement, they found it empty, as Fury had already taken the hostages out, saving the lives of a dozen political officers, including Pierce's daughter.
This particular incident made Pierce promote Fury to Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., but, on the other hand, made him realize that the path of diplomacy was useless, beginning to share HYDRA's goal of establishing a new world order.[1]
Assassination of Alejandro Castillo[]
Alejandro Castillo's assassination is reported
- "Eyewitnesses claim the assailant smashed through several walls before killing Colombia's most notorious drug lord, Alejandro Castillo, A.K.A. El Dogo."
- ―Reporter[src]
John Garrett sent Deathlok to the city of Bogotá with the assignment of killing Alejandro Castillo, Colombia's most notorious drug lord, even despite his known ties to HYDRA, intending to make the assassination publicly known to gather the attention of the United States Armed Forces and propose to them the sale of the Deathlok Soldiers.
Having arrived at Bogotá, Deathlok tracked Castillo and pursued him, letting witnesses even take a picture of him, smashing through several walls until he reached Castillo, killing him with a single punch that smashed his head.[2]

With the knowledge of the Darkhold, Holden Radcliffe and Aida began perfecting the Framework. Upon completion, the code had become so powerful that it had to be processed on devices from all around the world. Part of the data was transmitted to seventy-two processors in Bogotá, Colombia.[3]
Secret Invasion[]
- "Five global terrorist strikes within the past year. Each one, claimed by a different group."
"It's business as usual."
"That's precisely what they want you to think. Argentina attacks Colombia, Colombia attacks the Philippines. A violent chain reaction consuming the globe. You realize that the entire world is at war?" - ―Agent Prescod and "Everett Ross"[src]
Colombia was attacked by terrorists seemingly from Argentina as part of several terrorist attacks across the globe, with Colombian terrorists attacking the Philippines. However, Prescod theorized that the attacks were in fact perpetrated by Skrulls attempting to start World War III.[4]
