Agent Jemma Simmons

A brilliant biochemist and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Jemma Simmons crossed over from the Marvel television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. into comics, working alongside fellow agents Fitz, Coulson, May, and Daisy Johnson on high-stakes espionage missions.

Stepping straight from the screen into the panels of Marvel's Modern Age, Agent Jemma Simmons made her comics debut in S.H.I.E.L.D. #1 (2015), brought to life by writer Jon Moisan and artist Luke Ross. Her world is one of espionage and high-stakes adventure, sharing pages with a remarkable roster that includes Agent Leo Fitz, Agent Phil Coulson, Agent Melinda May, and Quake/Daisy Johnson — as sharp a collection of operatives as Marvel has assembled in recent years. Though her comics footprint is a compact and focused one, concentrated across S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., she's a fascinating piece of Marvel's 2010s publishing landscape — a bridge between the cinematic universe and the printed page that any fan of the era will want to track down.
