Agent Coulson is an unlockable character in Marvel vs. Capcom: Resurgence. Voiced by Clark Gregg and first appearing in Iron Man (2008 film), Coulson's page was made by Sr.Wario. To unlock him, players must play as Captain America 50 times in any mode or encounter him in Story Mode.
==Character Bio==
Probably the most famous agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. besides the director himself, Phil Coulson takes a bit of a different approach to doing his job. A witty everyman, Agent Coulson often finds himself in situations that are way bigger than him, but keeps a cool head through it all. The kind-hearted, optimistic agent doesn't get the glory or credit his superhero allies do, but he's just as much of a fighter in his own right.
==Playstyle==
Agent Coulson is, at his core, an average person. This means he's not especially durable or athletic, with a single low jump at his disposal and no special movement tactics. To make up for this, Coulson is incredibly skilled at ranged combat, which is useful in a game where most characters rely on fisticuffs. His combination of guns that have varied effects, defensive tactics, and trickery make him a dangerous fighter with a varied set of special moves in the hands of a skilled player. But when it comes to average players, it's best to stay away from this agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
==Moveset==
Special Attack 	Description
Destroyer Gun 	Agent Coulson fires his Destroyer Armor Prototype Gun, or "Bambino", shooting a blast of firey energy that could possibly set the enemy aflame. This move can be charged up for more destructive power.
I.C.E.R. 	Agent Coulson shoots his I.C.E.R. pistol at the opponent. It freezes them in their tracks, even in mid-air, leaving them open for attack and allowing Coulson to start combos.
Cybernetic Chokeslam 	Agent Coulson grabs the opponent by the neck with his super strong cybernetic arm and chokes them, draining their health slowly, before slamming them into the ground to do heavy damage.
Energy Shield 	Agent Coulson projects an energy shield with the cybernetic arm. This shield only lasts for a few seconds but will absorb almost any special attack and protect the agent from harm.
EMP Blast 	Agent Coulson releases an Electromagnetic Pulse with his prosthetic arm, disabling the opponent's weapons and technology temporarily. This pulse covers the whole stage, but only affects certain characters.
Lola Summon 	Agent Coulson pulls out his car keys and presses a button on them, summoning his flying car Lola. After running over the opponent in mid-air, knocking them to the ground, it flies off- screen.
The Cavalry (Level 1 Hyper Combo) 	Agent Coulson points forward and Agent Melinda May jumps onto screen. After unloading several rounds into the opponent, she jumps into the air and kicks them in the face, leaving them temporarily stunned.
Quinjet Fire (Level 2 Hyper Combo) 	Agent Coulson whistles, summoning a Quinjet that uses its Gatling Gun to open fire on the opponent and start a powerful combo.
Helicarrier Crash (Level 3 Hyper Combo)	Agent Coulson shrugs with a sigh and fires his Destroyer Gun upwards. Soon after, an entire S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier crashes into the ground, unearthing rocks that hit the opponent multiple times before crushing them to do massive damage.
==Alternate Costumes==
*Patriot Suit: A sleek, full body suit with a black color scheme that has a S.H.I.E.L.D. icon on the chestplate. This outfit is taken from Jeffrey "The Patriot" Mace.
*S.H.I.E.L.D. Shades: Agent Coulson rocks a pair of black sunglasses and wears a black suit with a red tie. His pants are also changed to match his suit.
*Captain Coulson: Agent Coulson is given a blue suit with white stars on it. His tie and pants are red, and the Energy Shield is changed to resemble Captain America's shield.
*Fury's Suit: Agent Coulson is given Nick Fury's outfit, leather jacket and all.
*Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Agent Coulson wears his modern outfit from the television show of the same name.
==Arcade Ending==
Agent Coulson meets Chris Redfield during his adventure, and S.H.I.E.L.D. and the heroic faction of Umbrella team up. Using their combined might to crush all the remaining threats in both worlds, the two are eventually merged to form U.M.B.R.E.L.L.A. Becoming the director of this new organization, Coulson is seen enjoying a drink with Agent May, now able to relax.
==Trivia==
*This version of Coulson resembles his comic book counterpart but has the voice, backstory, and moveset of the Marvel Cinematic Universe character.
*Coulson's ending is a reference to the similarities between both organizations.
*No traditional guns were included in his moveset to distance him from other gunwielders in the game.
