Coulson's Team

Coulson's Team is a mobile SHIELD unit formed and led by Agent Phil Coulson that operates out of a SHIELD Quincarrier. Its members are: Phil Coulson, Monica Chang, Grant Ward, Leo Fitz, Jemma Simmons, Rick Jones, and later, Daisy Johnson and Agent Jefferson Davis. The team was formed shortly after the Avengers saved Manhattan from Abomination--aka Bruce Banner. Director Nick Fury gave Coulson the assignment to form this team to deal with the emerging strange cases around the globe. Coulson recruited young engineering prodigy Leo Fitz and his best friend--bioscience prodigy Jemma Simmons--to be the science crew for his team. Agent Grant Ward was assigned as a field operative alongside his close friend Rick Jones. Monica Chang was recruited to be the "computer expert" of Coulson's team.
