Cecil Stedman is the director of the Global Defense Agency.
For Cecil, Heroes are assets to be deployed, manipulated, and sacrificed. His methods include, manufacturing crises to maintain leverage over heroes, running, and orchestrating events to keep his best assets dependent on him. He is self-aware and unapologetic about this, genuinely believing that someone has to be willing to do what good people won't.
Nick Fury is the director of S.HIE.L.D. Where Cecil controls heroes, Fury convenes them. he assembles heroes, trusts them with information, and allows them autonomy even when it frustrates him.
