==== Dealing with Alexander Pierce ====
: "How the hell did a French pirate manage to hijack a covert S.H.I.E.L.D. vessel in broad daylight?""For the record, councilman, he's Algerian. I can draw a map if it'll help."

Some time after the Battle of New York, Rockwell gained a seat on the World Security Council. Rockwell and the rest of the Council coordinated with Alexander Pierce and Nick Fury to develop a stronger role for S.H.I.E.L.D. which resulted in the creation of Project Insight. They berated Pierce for allowing the Lemurian Star to get hijacked.

: ―Douglas Rockwell to Alexander Pierce[src]
Rockwell along with the rest of the World Security Council was called to the Triskelion by Alexander Pierce to witness the launch of Project Insight. When Captain America exposed Project as a part of HYDRA's infiltration within S.H.I.E.L.D., STRIKE, which was composed of HYDRA members, held the Council hostage, until Black Widow who had been disguised as Pamela Hawley took the HYDRA operatives out.
He stood by as Nick Fury arrived and as Romanoff released all S.H.I.E.L.D. files to the public. Unnoticed by the others, Pierce moved to his phone, pressed a button and the security badges on the council members' chests exploded, killing them.
