- "Good news. The Cube has been retaken. All HYDRA agents have been flushed out and are on the run."
- ―Skye to Phil Coulson[src]
The Cube is a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. facility at a classified location.
History[]
HYDRA Uprising[]
- "We were outnumbered and S.H.I.E.L.D. pressed the advantage."
"You managed to make it out with the chopper?"
"Yes, sir."
"No worries, then. The Cube's small potatoes." - ―Kaminsky and John Garrett[src]
HYDRA was forced to reveal their infiltration within S.H.I.E.L.D., and HYDRA operatives started sieging and attacking every S.H.I.E.L.D. facility they had access to, including the Triskelion, the Hub and the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy.
The Cube was also attacked, and a HYDRA faction fought to control it. However, the HYDRA operatives inside were outnumbered by the loyal S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and S.H.I.E.L.D. pressed the advantage, managing to retake the facility and maintain it as a secure facility. One of the HYDRA operatives inside, Kaminsky, escaped with a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicopter and joined John Garrett at the Barbershop Headquarters in Cuba, explaining the whole situation.
Skye informed Phil Coulson of the situation as he acted as agent in charge of the Hub, briefing about the number of facilities under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s control.[1]
Trivia[]
- In the comics, the Cube was originally a S.H.I.E.L.D. black facility, one of nine classified bases and a prison for alien criminals who committed crimes on Earth.
