Sharon Carter is a fictional character portrayed by Emily VanCamp in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Carter is portrayed as the great-niece of S.H.I.E.L.D. founder Peggy Carter.
She is portrayed as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent following in the footsteps of her great-aunt, eventually working under the codename Agent 13. Under the orders of Nick Fury, Carter is assigned as an undercover nurse to watch over Steve Rogers, eventually assisting him with taking down S.H.I.E.L.D. which had been infiltrated by Hydra. Carter later joined the CIA, but went on the run after betraying them by assisting Steve Rogers once again in the Civil War. After surviving the Blip, Carter establishes herself as the Power Broker in Madripoor, ruling the city's criminal underworld.
