- "If you endanger an operation or if anyone gets hurt, I'll reassign you to Barrow, Alaska and you'll spend the rest of your years doing night shift guarding Blonsky's cryo-cell."
- ―Phil Coulson to Grant Ward[src]
The Vault is a hidden facility on Barrow, Alaska, where the former soldier Emil Blonsky was held in cryostasis.
History[]
Emil Blonsky was taken into custody under the watch of the United States Armed Forces following his duel with Hulk in New York City,[1] leading to Blonsky being moved into a cryo-cell located in the Vault, with S.H.I.E.L.D. allowed to assign some of its agents to guard Blonsky. Phil Coulson told Grant Ward that he would spend the rest of his career doing nightshift on Blonsky's cryo-cell if his sexual relationship with Melinda May adversely affected the team.[2] Blonsky was eventually transferred to the Damage Control Supermax Prison.[3]
Trivia[]
- In the comics, the Vault was a maximum security facility for superhumans located on the Rocky Mountains, Colorado, that was closed after many years of riots and abuses of power.
Behind the Scenes[]
- According to The Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier, the film's intended post-credits scene was meant to show Emil Blonsky, human once more, imprisoned and chained in his containment box.
- The name of the facility was first revealed in the novelization of the The Incredible Hulk.
- In the Latin American dub of The Incredible Hulk, during the scene where Hulk kicks Abomination toward General Ross, Ross can be heard saying, "Tell Fury to lock him up in the Vault." Notably, this line was added by the dubbing team, as in the original English version, Ross remains silent during this moment.
