- "When did you..."
"I thought it would be cool if the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. had a shield. Fitz agreed, so..." - ―Melinda May and Phil Coulson[src]
The Energy Shield is a shield made of solidified light-blue energy that has the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo in the center surface. Which expands from Phil Coulson's Prosthetic Hand.
History
Phil Coulson came to Leo Fitz with an idea to have a shield, is the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Fitz agreed with it, and put the function to create the Energy Shield in Phil Coulson's Prosthetic Hand.
Phil Coulson first uses the Energy Shield
As Coulson and Melinda May came to JT James' cabin in their search for Hive, they hid inside a hole in the floor from a bomb. The bomb exploded, and Coulson defended May and himself from it by using the Energy Shield.[1]
Coulson used the Energy Shield to defend himself from the gunshots of a prison guard infected by Lucy Bauer and to then knock the guard out.[2]
Phil Coulson saves the Patriot from Watchdogs
During the Attack on Jeffrey Mace, Coulson, Alphonso Mackenzie and Jeffrey Mace found themselves outnumbered and nearly defenseless as the Mace had used up all of his Patriot Serum and no longer had super strength as a result. Coulson used the Energy Shield again to defend himself and Jeffrey Mace from the gunshots of ex-HYDRA operatives, who had been hired by the Watchdogs until their allies arrived to assist them.[3]
The Superior is killed with the Energy Shield
While fighting against the Superior onboard the Ivanov Oil Platform, Coulson was pinned against a wall as the Superior put a gun under his chin and prepared to execute him. In response, Coulson activated his Energy Shield and cut through the Superior's Life-Model Decoy face, exposing his Quantum Brain and killing him.[4]
Phil Coulson and Melinda May kiss behind the Energy Shield
Coulson was deprived of Energy Shield during his whole time in the 2091 Lighthouse. However, he was able to use it again when he returned into his time. During the Infiltration into Qovas' Ship, Coulson used the Energy Shield to protect both himself and May. As Remorath fired at them, Coulson and May shared their first kiss while being protected by the Energy Shield.[5]
