Useful Information

Abigail Brand is head of the SHIELD sub-division, SWORD, that deals with extra-terrestrial threats.

History

Agent of SWORD Abiigail Brand first appeared in Astonishing X-Men in the shadows behind Nick Fury just after Cyclops left.

When SHIELD and SWORD then infiltrate the Benetech facility where the X-Men are investigating, Brand is questioned by Fury and the others as to why she helped Ord.

During the next arc it is explained: she was trying to stop a war breaking out between Breakworld and Earth (this was all explained when she was questioned/put on trial by the higher commanders of SHIELD/SWORD). So, to stop this, she allowed Ord to use his technology, and with the help of Dr. Kavita Rao, they created a cure (all because a mutant was destined to destroy the Breakworld).

She was later seen meeting with Maria Hill onboard the Helicarrier, and then when back on the Peak, discovers that Colossus is destined to destroy the Breakworld. We also discover that Lockheed is her mole within the mansion.

Breakworld

At the end of the Torn arc, Brand had the X-Men teleported out of the Institute and up to onboard a ship that was heading to the Breakworld, planning to stop them from launching their missile at Earth. There, after creating a diversion that was Brand's idea, they find the sculpture/carving that detines Colossus to destroy the Breakworld. After she and Beast examine the sculpture/carving and the others joke about killing her, she and Beast head off to find the weapon, but are stopped by a snow storm caused by the Breakworld ruler. Beast digs a hole which both of them climb into, and when Beast complains, she explains she doesn't need him to keep warm, and she takes her glove off, and a blue light is seen, with Beast astonished.

They later get back to the others, and she escorts Beast, Kitty and Danger to the missile, but she's shot and apparantly dies.

But then recently, she was seen in Secret Invasion #1, welcoming Dum Dum Dugan abord the Peak, and after the ship explodes reports the Skrull armada is heading for Earth, and is set to appear in a story in the Secret Invasion: Who Do You Trust? one-shot.
