Damage Control HQ

A construction company which specializes in repairing the property damage caused by conflicts between superheroes and super-villains. The company additionally operates as the archival unit for government-contested metahuman machinery and technology that belongs to missing, incapacitated or deceased individuals where either a clear chain of custody does not exist or the items in question pose an existential threat to the United States.

History

Damage Control was founded by Anne Marie Hoag and was originally owned by Tony Stark and Wilson Fisk, each owning half the stock of the company, though Stark felt uneasy cooperating with Fisk, a notorious criminal.
Damage Control employees have been in the middle of a breakout at the Vault, confronted Doctor Doom over an unpaid bill, have been threatened with death by the Punisher, They have met vastly powerful cosmic entities such as the Silver Surfer and Galactus, They have 'fought' side by side with the X-Men, and talked the New Warriors and the Hulk out of fighting each other in the middle of Yankee Stadium.
When Ms. Hoag was offered a job in government, she nominated Robin Chapel as her replacement. Stark and Fisk sold their stock in Damage Control: Stark because he didn't want to be associated with Fisk and Fisk because he had no confidence in Robin's ability to lead the company. Another company, Carlton Co, took control of Damage Control and tried to make Damage Control more profitable, but in the process angered a lot of employees and nearly ruined Damage Control. Ms. Hoag convinced S.H.I.E.L.D. to invest in Damage Control and they loaned her the money to buy back the company. S.H.I.E.L.D. also found out that the sale of Damage Control had been a plot by Fisk to buy back the company for cheap. During the events of Acts of Vengeance (an event Fisk helped organize), massive damage was done to the city and Fisk made a large profit when Damage Control was hired to repair the damages.
