I also have a question as well. With the following in mind:

[quote]Establishing The Agency as the answer to a post-Reach CIA, military checkpoints have been unilaterally set up in Washington aswell as the cities of New York, Metropolis, Gotham, Coast, Gateway, Star, and Central, with more promised to come in an effort to contain the superhuman populace.[/quote]
Does that mean ARGUS/S.H.I.E.L.D. was abolished, or did they never exist in the first place? Does that apply to the CIA as well, or is The Agency a separate government organization that works alongside other them and other organizations?
