wrestlinggeek Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Re: S.H.A.R.D. - Super Hero Acronym Resource Directory Let's see: I've used OMEN (Operation for Metahuman Elimination, Now) and SHOC (Super Humans Operation Command). In an alternate Marvel U game, I had SHIELD (Super Human Incident Emergency Location Detail). I have used MARS (Mercenarry Armed Response Service) in the past. Let's see, what else...?
