[edit] Fictional character biography
Clay Quartermain is a high-ranking agent of the fictional espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D., "blond-haired, fast-talking, grinning Burt Lancaster" sort[1] who first works with that organization's storied executive director, Nick Fury, during S.H.I.E.L.D.'s first conflict with would-be world tyrant the Yellow Claw, later revealed to have been a robot simulacrum of that Chinese-national mandarin. Quartermain later becomes part of the U.S. military's "Hulkbusters" operation, which attempted to capture and contain the Hulk.
Quartermain, along with many other agents, is seemingly killed by a self-aware, renegade "Deltan" variety of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s artificial-human "Life Model Decoys" . and replaced by one such LMD.[2] The most advanced of the Deltite LMDs, it rebels upon learning it was not human, and perished.[3] The real Quartermain is later found alive in cold storage in S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, brainwashed by a faction of the terrorist organization HYDRA, and deprogrammed.
Retconned as a former romantic interest of Jessica Jones, Quarterman later becomes leader of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s "Howling Commandos" Monster Force.
