Agent Melinda May

Melinda May is a cool-headed S.H.I.E.L.D. operative who transitioned from her live-action origins on Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. television series into comics in 2015, working alongside Phil Coulson and other agents in Marvel's modern espionage universe.

A cool-under-pressure operative who made her comics debut in 2015's S.H.I.E.L.D. #1 — crafted by Jon Moisan and Luke Ross — Agent Melinda May arrived in the Modern Age as part of Marvel's espionage universe. Her catalog appearances span S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., where she keeps formidable company alongside the likes of Agent Phil Coulson, Agent Jemma Simmons, Agent Leo Fitz, and Quake. Though her comics footprint is compact, she's a compelling piece of Marvel's modern S.H.I.E.L.D. mythology — exactly the kind of character that rewards collectors who dig into the agency's deeper roster.
