The World Counter-terrorism Agency (commonly known as the W.C.A.) is a fictional anti-terrorist organization appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The organization first appeared in New Avengers: The Reunion #1 (2009) and was created by Jim McCann and David Lopez. The acronym W.C.A. is a homage to the West Coast Avengers, a title that prominently featured Hawkeye and Mockingbird.
The World Counter-terrorism Agency has appeared in the Hawkeye and Mockingbird related titles New Avengers: The Reunion #1-4 (2009), Hawkeye & Mockingbird #1-6 (2010) and Widowmaker #1-4 (2010-2011).
As part of their secret invasion of Earth, the Skrulls abducted various members of the superhero community and members of S.H.I.E.L.D. to infiltrate positions of authority. Spending years in captivity, the abductees were finally rescued once the Skrull's secret invasion had been averted. But with S.H.I.E.L.D. dissolved, and faced with a world they barely recognized, they had means to start again. Mockingbird, one of the abducted superheroes and an ex-member of S.H.I.E.L.D., secretly created the World Counter-terrorism Agency to give her fellow abductees a purpose in life and to try and to prevent any similar situations from arising in the future.
Clint Barton (as Ronin) later grew suspicious of his ex-wife's secret activities. After a confrontation, Mockingbird revealed her new double life and the existence of the World Counter-terrorism Agency. Clint, afraid of Mockingbird's mental state after being abducted by the Skrulls, accompanied her on a mission to Zaragoza, Spain. Together, they battled Monica Rappaccini and the hordes of A.I.M.. Clint and Mockingbird reconciled after defeating their enemies and thwarting the terrorist plot.
