History[]
Cutting-Edge Technology[]
- "I used their nerve-wiring interface in your hand, sir. It's cutting edge, to say the least."
- ―Leo Fitz to Phil Coulson[src]
Transia Corporation manufactured the nerved-wire interface which was used in Phil Coulson's Prosthetic Hand. It also worked on an exoskeleton providing enhanced strength to its user.[1]
Hostile Takeover[]
- "I'm aware your company's been working on an exoskeletal limb-assist prototype for the Defense Department using this same technology. So I'd like to buy it."
"Buy one of our leading patents."
"No, no. The company." - ―Gideon Malick and Rowan Hamilton[src]
Having learned about the Transia Corporation Exoskeleton, Hive convinced Gideon Malick to purchase the whole company and seize its technology. Hive and Malick met with Transia board of advisors and Rowan Hamilton. At first, Hamilton refused to sell the company, but Hive quickly made him change his mind by having Charles Hinton triggering a vision of Hamilton's colleagues perishing at the hands of Hive.
Terrified by the vision, Hamilton agreed to the transaction, but Hive killed his advisors nonetheless. The HYDRA operatives then took over the Transia Corporation Building and brought the Exoskeleton to Hive and Malick. Hive instructed Malick to put the exoskeleton on so that he could experience true power. Malick complied and used the power of the exoskeleton to execute Hamilton with his bare hands.[1]
Battle at the Transia Corporation Building[]
However, S.H.I.E.L.D. knew of HYDRA's interest for Transia Corporation and, thanks to a vision provided to Daisy Johnson by Charles Hinton, they also knew of an impending battle between S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA. Therefore, a team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents including Johnson, Lincoln Campbell and Phil Coulson infiltrated the Transia Corporation Building in order to set Hinton free and stop the HYDRA leaders, including Hive who they had discovered about. Despite their best efforts, however, both Hive and Gideon Malick managed to escape, although the Transia Corporation Exoskeleton was damaged in the fight between Malick and Johnson.[1]
Interim CEO[]
Following the death of Gideon Malick at the hands of Daisy Johnson while she was swayed by Hive,[2] Transia Corporation elected and announced a new Interim CEO on April 28, 2016.[3]
