Peggy Carter

Peggy Carter was a British officer representing the Strategic Scientific Reserve and Steve Rogers's World War II ally. After the war, Agent Carter secretly assisted Howard Stark, who found himself framed for supplying deadly weapons on the black market.

She was assisted by Stark's butler Edwin Jarvis. They found those responsible and disposed of the weapons which led to the mysterious organization Leviathan. Peggy, along with Howard, founded S.H.I.E.L.D. with Colonel Chester Phillips. Peggy Carter was born in London, England, to Harrison and Amanda Carter. She had a older brother, named Michael. As a child Peggy play slaying dragons with Michel, their mother would break the two up. The two grew up very close. In the earlier days in the Second World War, Peggy was a Codebreaker at Bletchley Park and were engaged to Fred Wells, a soldier working for the home office. She was offered a chance to join the SOE. She's unsure if she's meant for field work, and says she'll discuss it with her fiance.

Later, at her engagement party, Peggy introduces Fred to Michael, who has been fighting the Nazis on the front lines. The news that Peggy is going to turn down the SOE offer disappoints Michael, as he was the one who recommended her for the job. He wanted to provide his sister with the life of adventure that she wanted, not the domestic life that everyone else drummed into her. Some time later, her mother helps Peggy into her wedding dress when soldiers arrive at the front door. Peggy watches from the window as her mother collapses. She knows this could only mean one thing Michael died in the fighting. Peggy calls off the wedding and joins the SOE.

Captain America : First Vengeance

Margaret Carter was an agent of the British Secret Intelligence. In November 1940, she infiltrated Castle Kaufmann, the headquarters of the SS general Johann Schmidt, leader of HYDRA, Adolf Hitler's top secret science division. Disguised as a maid Eva, she freed the captured scientist Abraham Erskine and brought into the Strategic Scientific Reserve.

Captain America : The First Avenger

Peggy served as an Operations Supervisor to the Strategic Scientific Reserve. While training several candidates for Project Rebirth, she came across a frail-bodied young man named Steve Rogers, who Dr. Erskine was intent on becoming the project’s first human test subject, due to his goodhearted nature and great will to serve his country. Although initially skeptical of him because of his appearance and weak health, Peggy eventually saw that Rogers was smarter and more practical than the rest of the potentials, and was often amused to see the smaller man outwit the burly recruits. She was impressed and developed respect for him when, during a test, Rogers chose to muffle a grenade with his body, not knowing it was a fake.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In 1945, Agent Carter led the SSR and the Howling Commandos in capturing one of HYDRA's last outposts in Austria. As the outpost's senior officer, Werner Reinhardt was taken into custody, he reminded her of HYDRA's motto "cut off one head, two more shall take its place." As Carter's men boxed up the dangerous devices at the facility, including the Obelisk, she suggested that there should be a peacetime organization dedicated to keeping such devices in their care, and to keep an eye on those who would use them. After his capture, Reinhardt was taken to the Rat, a secret SSR facility. Seeking to find out more information, Agent Carter visited the Rat to interrogate him.

Agent Carter

Alone in her apartment, Peggy makes herself a cup of tea. She looks at the headlines of Howard Stark, who is on trial for selling weapons to the enemy. Peggy roommate Colleen walk in. Colleen went to bed with the flu, working the swing shift. Peggy puts her gun in her purse and heads to "the office." At New York Bell Company she walks past the operators and waits for the secret door to open. She walks into her real office, Strategic Scientific Research. The SSR agents gather to watch news reels of Howard testifying before Congress, saying he didn't knowingly sell technology to enemies of the US.

Ant-Man Prelude

In 1963, Carter was still working as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. She met Dr. Henry Pym, a young scientist who invented particles and a suit that could shrink a human being to the size of an ant, yet maintain his original strength. When a group of radicals in the Soviet-controlled East Berlin discovered a piece of old HYDRA technology, Howard Stark wanted to send an agent to Germany and stop them from reverse-engineering it. However, Pym was unwilling to give his suit to anyone else, so Carter convinced him to go to Berlin personally. To see if the suit actually worked, she fired a few bullets at Pym, and he became small like an ant in the blink of an eye, proving he was ready for the mission. He left for Berlin later that day.

Ant-Man

In 1989, Peggy, Howard Stark and Mitchell Carson were having a meeting at S.H.I.E.L.D., when Hank Pym angrily walked in and gave his resignation to them because he found out that S.H.I.E.L.D. was trying to re-engineer the Pym Particles. Howard said that the Pym Particles were the most important discovery in science and Carson planned to use the particles for war. However, Peggy disagreed with both of them and Hank vowed that no one would discover how to create the particles.

The Avengers

While training, Steve Rogers thinks back on his past, and has visions of Peggy and the other friends he's lost. In the files Rogers studies, Peggy is reported as "Retired".

Captain America : The Winter Soldier

Peggy has since been married and had children. She is ill, and Steve visits her at the retirement facility. Although she initially appears to recognize Steve, she slips back into a state where she believes to be seeing him again for the first time since he was lost. Shocked to see him alive, she laments over how much time has passed. He merely says, "I couldn't leave my best girl. Not when she owes me a dance."

Avengers : Age of Ultron

Wanda Maximoff used her powers to make Steve see visions of the life he could have had with Peggy after war.
