Origin
The Great Wheel was formed in 1961 when Leonardo da Vinci (calling himself Aries) summoned the leaders of the major world secret organizations to the secret Immortal City beneath Rome where the ancient version of SHIELD has its headquarters. He assembled them to go on several missions for him, obtaining secret artifacts.
