PELEG

The Protection Espionage Law Enforcement Group better known by it's acronym PELEG (pronounced pee-leg or pay-leg). Originally founded in 1898 by former U.S Army Colonel Arthur Gault to protect the American public from a potential Spanish attack, Gault's new unit garnered a lost of respect fast due to his influence. Mainly working to protect the world from any threat and exact justice on villains, they have earned the respect of world militaries. Today, the group works in the same way the second SHIELD does in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Founding and Early Years
Decorated U.S Army Colonel Arthur Gault was worried about a Spanish attack on American soil after the alleged bombing of the USS Maine near Cuba. Gathering a unit of close friends he met in the military, he told the U.S Military of his plan and they were hesistant to make them an official regiment. But, they did allow him to work independently since they trusted Gault.

The Spanish-American War
During the Spanish-American War, PELEG members were usually in one of two places. The first was on American soil working to keep the public safe. The second was in Cuba assisting the U.S Army and the Cuban rebels in combat against Spain. Originally looked down upon, Gault's men earned respect by showing bravery and superb skills in battle. Often assisting Teddy Roosevelt's "Rough Riders" in fighting, they did not take credit for their good deeds to keep their secrecy. Roosevelt would eventually commend the PELEG soldiers for their actions during the war and thanked them for their assistance.
