Died In: Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Over the course of the film, it was revealed that HYDRA had taken over S.H.I.E.L.D. from the inside, with Pierce having used his influence to get Project Insight off the ground.

As Captain America and Falcon raced to deal with the Helicarriers, Black Widow confronted Pierce. Shortly after, Nick Fury arrived and put a bullet in him, creating a world in which the legendary Robert Redford got the chance to say "Hail HYDRA".
