S.T.A.K.E. (short for Special Threat Assessment for Known Extranormalities) is a fictional organization appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
S.T.A.K.E. first appeared in S.H.I.E.L.D. Vol. 3 #9 and was created by Al Ewing and Stefano Caselli.
S.T.A.K.E. is a subsidiary of S.H.I.E.L.D. that specializes in handling the supernatural occurrences. S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Maria Hill rebuilt the advanced Life Model Decoy of Dum Dum Dugan to work for S.T.A.K.E. where he met Warwolf and Dr. Paul Kraye who worked on some secret projects before Dum Dum Dugan arrived. In his first job with S.T.A.K.E., Dum Dum Dugan worked with Jasper Sitwell's zombie form and Warwolf when an unidentified organization controlled Teen Abomination into attacking Oakland Airport. After using his scanning abilities to detect the chip in Teen Abomination's skull, Dum Dum Dugan had Jasper Sitwell shoot the part of the skull that had the chip in it and Teen Abomination was brought into their care.
Upon getting the approval, Dum Dum Dugan and S.T.A.K.E. formed an incarnation of the Howling Commandos with Warwolf being their supervisor and consisting of Jasper Sitwell's zombie form, Vampire by Night, Man-Thing, Manphibian, Orrgo, Teen Abomination, and Hit-Monkey. Their first mission involved the Earth Idol of Golthana that was being smuggled on the S.S. Chaney and turned it's crew into humanoid plant monsters. While the Howling Commandos were successful in defeating the transformed crew members, they merged into one giant plant monster. Man-Thing used his touch to burn the giant plant monster where it's link to the Earth Idol of Golthana caused it to burn as well. The next mission that S.T.A.K.E gives to the Howling Commandos involves them fighting Sphinx and Adversary which led to them getting Glyph on their team.
