Atomic Bomb

The Atomic Bomb is a thermonuclear weapon of immense power created as a result of Phastos' interference in humanity's technological advancements. They were notably used twice by the United States Armed Forces during World War II, on the cities of Hiroshima and in Japan.
During the Chitauri Invasion in 2012, the World Security Council fired a nuclear missile towards New York City in order to eliminate the Chitauri, willing to sacrifice all the lives in Manhattan to do so. However, the missile was intercepted by Iron Man who redirected it at the Chitauri Command Center, ending the invasion.

When the rift closed, a black substance which was called Zero Matter was the only thing left. After that test, the two additional bombs were placed in storage at the Roxxon Warehouse under heavy security.
====Obtaining a Bomb====
Whitney Frost decided that she needed an Atomic Bomb to replicate the circumstances which created the rift that released the Zero Matter when she absorbed the Zero Matter within the corpse of Jane Scott and wanted to increase her exposure to the substance. Peggy Carter and Edwin Jarvis overheard the declaration and Jason Wilkes told them that Frost must not be allowed to succeed. A race occurred between Frost, Calvin Chadwick, and her hired Manfredi Crime Family men against Carter, Jarvis, and selected members of the Strategic Scientific Reserve to get to the Atomic Bombs stored in the Roxxon Warehouse.

====Battle of New York====
In the midst of the Avengers' battle against the Chitauri in New York City, the World Security Council ordered S.H.I.E.L.D. to fire two nuclear missiles towards Manhattan in order to eliminate the Chitauri and prevent the invasion from expanding globally. However, when S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury disobeyed the order as doing so would also kill everyone in Manhattan, the World Security Council ordered two other agents to complete the task. While Fury successfully prevented one of the missiles from being deployed, he was unable to stop the other.
Fury then informed Tony Stark of the missile that was headed towards them. Realizing he could use it to their advantage, Stark intercepted the missile and redirected it into the Tesseract's wormhole towards the Chitauri Command Center in space. The missile, which destroyed the command center and resulted in all of the Chitauri on Earth immediately dying, effectively brought an end to the Chitauri Invasion.
