Meanwhile, My old nemesis, the Red Skull, was brought out of suspended animation by the subversive organization THEM. The Skull feigned cooperation with THEM (actually the ruling council of HYDRA led by Baron Wolfgang von Strucker) long enough to steal the Cosmic Cube from subsidiary organization AIM. This led to the first postwar clash between the two great symbols of World War II. The Skull later impersonated Me and drove Rick away, while wielding the Cosmic Cube.

I often crossed paths with another World War II veteran as well, this one an ally: Sergeant Nick Fury, of the Howling Commandos, whom I had met during the war, was now Colonel Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. I teamed with Fury many times after emerging from suspended animation and our relationship warmed and cooled over the years, depending on various circumstances. We often worked together towards the same goal(s) and the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. maintained a close working relationship, even sometimes sharing a common computer database. I worked with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Agent 13, niece to Peggy. I would come to share a deep romantic relationship with Sharon, eventually admitting my love for her.
