Dangerous agent peggy carter
Margaret "Peggy" Carter is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is usually depicted as a supporting character in books featuring Captain America. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, she first appeared in Tales of Suspense #77 as a World War II love interest of Steve Rogers in flashback sequences. She would later be better known as a relative of Captain America's modern-day significant other Sharon Carter, who happens to be his wife by common law in the comics, and was stated by The Captain himself as "The love of his life" multiple times.
The character first appeared, unnamed, as a wartime love interest of Captain America in Tales of Suspense #75 (single panel) and #77 (May 1966), by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. She appeared again as the older sister of Sharon Carter in Captain America #161 (May 1973). She was later retconned as Sharon's aunt due to the unaging nature of comic book characters (see Captain America Vol. 5 #25 (April 2007)). The character has appeared frequently in Captain America stories set during World War II.
An unnamed blonde British agent Agent Zero was rescued from Berlin by the Young Allies after her capture by the Red Skull and then joins up with Captain America in Young Allies #1 (Summer 1941).

Film
Peggy Carter makes her debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe where she is portrayed by Hayley Atwell. This version is depicted as a British agent rather than an American.
Peggy Carter made her initial appearance in the 2011 film "Captain America: The First Avenger." Christy Lemire from the Associated Press commented on Hayley Atwell's portrayal, noting, "Atwell's striking beauty suits the role well, yet her character is more intricately developed than one might expect; she is not a damsel in distress awaiting rescue by Captain America but is portrayed as a skilled combatant, equal to him in every way." Roger Ebert observed that Atwell's portrayal evoked the image of "a classic military pin-up of the era," particularly highlighting the "full red lips" featured in the movie.
She then appears in the Marvel One-Shot short film Agent Carter, which was packaged with the Iron Man 3 Blu-ray disc. The film takes place one year after the events of Captain America: The First Avenger, and features Carter as a member of the Strategic Scientific Reserve, searching for the mysterious Zodiac, and dealing with the sexism of the period.
She appears in the 2014 film Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Set in the present day, CGI was used to make the character appear as aged in her 90s. Steve Rogers visits her in the retirement home that she is currently living in.
She appears in the 2015 film Avengers: Age of Ultron in Steve Rogers's 1940s hallucination caused by the Scarlet Witch's powers.
She makes a cameo appearance in the 2015 film Ant-Man. She is featured in a 1989 opening teaser, aged in her late 60s/early 70s, when Hank Pym resigns from S.H.I.E.L.D. after discovering that Mitchell Carson was trying to replicate Pym's shrinking formula without consent.
The 2016 film Captain America: Civil War she dies in her sleep. Rogers serves as one of the pallbearers at her funeral, learning that Sharon Carter happens to be her great-niece.
