Watchdogs

The Watchdogs is a terrorist organization and radical hate group based in the United States whose activities target people with enhanced abilities, including the Avengers and Inhumans, believing them to be a danger to humanity. Their leader, the former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Felix Blake, developed the Watchdogs' ideology after he was paralyzed from the waist down by Deathlok, a cybernetic assassin forced into working for HYDRA. The organization would later be taken over by the Superior, who continued their mission to wipe out the Inhumans and save the human race, blaming Phil Coulson for their arrival on Earth, until he and the Watchdogs were defeated by S.H.I.E.L.D.
