The Untold Truth Of Marvel's Sharon Carter

Otherwise known as Agent 13, Sharon Carter is one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s deadliest operatives. But what's the full story behind this legendary ally of Captain America? From her family roots to her most dangerous missions, this is the untold truth of Sharon Carter.

One thing worth knowing is that Sharon Carter wasn't actually the first Agent 13: Her aunt Margaret "Peggy" Carter holds that distinction. During her time as Agent 13, Peggy fights in the French resistance, falls in love with Captain America, and takes on the first iteration of HYDRA.

Naturally, Peggy is heartbroken when Cap disappears. However, she quickly overcomes her grief, joins a number of different spy agencies, and eventually becomes an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Her older brother Harrison later welcomes a daughter named Sharon, and the two become very close – in fact, Sharon sees Peggy as something of a personal hero. Having grown up dazzled by tales of her aunt's wartime exploits, Sharon decides to join S.H.I.E.L.D. — and even adopts her aunt's old codename.

But then Peggy suddenly relapses into grief for Cap and is placed into an asylum. She becomes so delusional, in fact, that she imagines Sharon to be her kid sister, and Harrison to be her father. This strange plot line was introduced mostly because of the increasing time lag between World War II and the modern era.

In the end, it turns out that Peggy is being manipulated by Doctor Faustus, but Cap rescues her and she snaps out of her delirium. Cap finally convinces Peggy that they can never be together… although he conveniently leaves out the part about him dating Sharon.
