Players can spot Phil Sheldon early on in Marvel's Avengers, during an interview with Nick Fury. Sheldon made his debut in the iconic Marvels series written by Kurt Busiek with art from Alex Ross, which followed his exploits as a reporter chronicling the exploits of Marvel's Silver Age heroes.

Just like in the comics Sheldon is a reporter for the Daily Bugle in Crystal Dynamics' game - only this time he seems to have absorbed J. Jonah Jameson's reactionary proclivities.

Phil is injured during the events of A-Day and essentially acts as a mouthpiece for AIM while reporting for the Bugle, even after being rescued by Thor towards the end of the second act.
