Damage Control

Damage Control is an American television series created by for ABC, based on the Marvel Comics organization Damage Control, a government sanctioned clean up crew. The series is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and is the first series, since Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., to air on television as opposed to streaming. Unlike the other MCU shows that maintain a strong connection, Damage Control is intended to be seen as its own entity, though the series occasionally acknowledges the connections and even brings back actors who have appeared in the related movies and shows.
The series stars and who reprise their roles as Anne Marie Hoag and Albert P. Cleary, respectively from the MCU movies and shows., along with newcomers , , , , , and . They all portray employees of the Department of Damage Control. While they remain within the bureaucratic offices, sometimes they must get out and confront the situations in person.
==Premise==
Set within the MCU, the series follows the daily lives of the employees of Damage Control whose job is to clean up after major incidents that are usually the result of the superheroes and villains that populate the world. While the main crew are committed to their jobs, they are not above goofing off and looking for any excuse to either get away from work or, better yet, personally explore the things that they are supposed to either be archiving or quarantining from the rest of the world.
Season one deals with a conspiracy within the company as someone is stealing funds and distributing them to villainous factions and Chapel and Porter's attempt to find the culprit. Major subplots involves Cleary's attempt to get into the good graces of Ms. Hoag, Bart searching to be more than an intern and Griffin trying to be taken seriously as a superhero despite his stigma.
