:0:0

Summary

The Department of Damage Control has a rich history in Marvel Comics, specializing in repairing property damage caused by superhero battles.
In the MCU, Damage Control was originally created to clean up after the Battle of New York and has recently transformed into a police-style force hunting down superpowered individuals.
The change in Damage Control's role could pave the way for major mutant storylines in the future MCU, potentially introducing the X-Men and adapting the use of Stark drones as Sentinels.

Marvel Studios' Department of Damage Control has a rich history in Marvel Comics and in the MCU, though its role has significantly changed in recent years. In the world of the MCU, many organizations exist in the background of the action, not only covert intelligence organizations such as SHIELD and HYDRA, but also more public-facing companies such as the Department of Damage Control. A Marvel Television series focused on the MCU's Damage Control was originally planned in the style of The Office, which would have provided an insight into Damage Control, but since this series never came to fruition, the DODC has seen developments in the MCU's recent projects instead.
While the Department of Damage Control has so far had a relatively small role in the MCU, it has a long history in Marvel Comics, though the organization has been changed dramatically for its live-action adaptation. Since the DODC has become much more prevalent in the MCU's Phases 4 and 5, it's likely that the organization will have a larger role going forward, with many theorizing that Damage Control could pave the way for major mutant storylines in the MCU's future. Before this, however, it's worth examining the Department of Damage Control's history and purpose and exploring why they might have changed so drastically in the Multiverse Saga.

Damage Control was first introduced as a construction company in Marvel Comics' 1988 story, Marvel Age Annual #4. The company was founded by Anne Marie Hoag and jointly owned by Tony Stark and Wilson Fisk, each owning half of the company's stocks. The organization specializes in repairing property damage and cleaning up the messes left behind after fights between superheroes and villains, and working out of New York's Flatiron Building means that Damage Control's staff have come into contact with a wide variety of superpowered Marvel characters. Eventually, Damage Control was taken over by SHIELD, making it a much more legitimate organization.
