Biography[]
Early life[]
Maria Hill was born in Chicago, Illinois, on a cold night when temperatures hit -44°F. While still in the hospital, Maria's mother died, and her father Ed blamed it on her. The abuse Maria endured from her father turned her into cold and troubled person. After finally falling out with her father, Maria joined the Marine Corps.
S.H.I.E.L.D.[]
After serving with the Marines, and while still being fairly young, Maria joined S.H.I.E.L.D.. One of her earliest missions involved rescuing Agents Bradley and Reynolds, whose mission of infiltrating the ranks of the terrorist organization Hydra became compromised. Even though Reynolds was a senior agent, Hill decided to follow S.H.I.E.L.D.'s rules and relieve him, deeming him mentally unfit to take command. Reynolds refused to listen to Hill, and the skirmish resulted in Reynolds being caught in enemy fire.
