S.H.U.S.H.

S.H.U.S.H. is a super-secret spy agency headed by J. Gander Hooter. S.H.U.S.H. is usually shown handling cases involving the terrorist attacks led by F.O.W.L.
S.H.U.S.H. agents are known for their meticulous by-the-book methods and are careful to abide by the law. When their brand of justice is proven ineffective, Director Hooter will call in Darkwing Duck, whose vigilante style and "off the payroll" status proves beneficial.
Darkwing has, more often than not, been utilized as a cheap delivery service. He will protect S.H.U.S.H. packages with his life, only to find out the contents contained things like a stapler or a cassette of Greatest Polka Hits.
S.H.U.S.H. returns in the DuckTales episode "From the Confidential Casefiles of Agent 22!", as the former employer of Bentina Beakley and Scrooge McDuck, under the direction of Ludwig Von Drake.
==History==
===Darkwing Duck (1991)===
It is known that "SHUSH" is an acronym, but it is testament to SHUSH's style of secrecy that no one knows what it stands for. In the words of Darkwing Duck, SHUSH is "your basic super-secret international espionage agency". Darkwing has said he works for "the [American] government" when on SHUSH missions, while in "Smarter Than a Speeding Bullet" he calls it an international organisation. SHUSH has carried out missions in both America and the country of Oilrabia, and agents have a variety of accents. Some twenty members of the organization have had dealings with Darkwing.
===DuckTales (2017)===
====From the Confidential Casefiles of Agent 22!====
In the 1960s, Bentina Beakley worked for S.H.U.S.H. under the code name "Agent 22". Director Ludwig von Drake, recruited billionaire and freelance agent Scrooge McDuck to team up with Agent 22 and stop F.O.W.L. agent Black Heron from purchasing the recipe of an ancient potion.
====Timephoon!====
Mrs. Beakley makes reference to "S.H.U.S.H. chrono-protocol", which had predicted just such a situation as caused by Louie's abuse of the Time Tub.

==Trivia==
* SHUSH is another in a long fiction tradition of secret organizations with names that are acronyms designed for the word that the letters form rather than acronyms that form naturally. Specific inspiration sources for SHUSH may have been S.H.I.E.L.D., Z.O.W.I.E., and C.O.N.T.R.O.L.
** Despite that there are numerous development documents and fiction detailing SHUSH available, not a single one mentions what SHUSH stands for. As goes with the Nintendo Power intro and the editor blurb in Boom! Studios translation of DoubleDuck Part 3, it is therefore likely no meaning to the name was ever thought up.
* As per the logo, scripts, and most prose from the 1990s, "SHUSH" is spelled without periods. It has, however, regularly been spelled with periods, like in "The Legend of the Chaos God", "Clean Money", and the Boom! Studios comics.
* The name J. Gander Hooter is, through DuckTales's J. Gander Hoover, a homage to J. Edgar Hoover, the first director of the FBI.
* In the TurboGrafx-16 game Darkwing Duck, the four bosses are introduced through their files in the SHUSH database. They each have a SHUSH ID: Steelbeak is CR-113061, Tuskerninni is RR-82787, Moliarty is RR-21690, and Megavolt is GR-112262.
* Due to the narrative purpose of SHUSH as an entrance for Darkwing into various missions, by far most confirmed deaths in the franchise are SHUSH agents.
* The SHUSH headquarters is based on the Team Disney building in Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, minus the statues of the Seven Dwarves.
