<p>Damage Control was founded by Anne Marie Hoag and was originally owned by <a href="Iron_Man" title="Iron Man">Tony Stark</a> and <a href="Kingpin_(comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Kingpin (comics)">Wilson Fisk</a>, each owning half the stock of the company, though Stark felt uneasy cooperating with Fisk, a notorious criminal. The company was headquartered in New York's <a href="Flatiron_Building" title="Flatiron Building">Flatiron Building</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-mnyc_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mnyc-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>When Ms. Hoag was offered a job in government, she nominated Robin Chapel as her replacement. Stark and Fisk sold their stock in Damage Control: Stark because he did not want to be associated with Fisk and Fisk because he had no confidence in Robin's ability to lead the company. Another company, Carlton Co, took control of Damage Control and tried to make Damage Control more profitable, but in the process angered a lot of employees and nearly ruined Damage Control. Ms. Hoag convinced <a href="S.H.I.E.L.D." title="S.H.I.E.L.D.">S.H.I.E.L.D.</a> to invest in Damage Control and they loaned her the money to buy back the company. S.H.I.E.L.D. also found out that the sale of Damage Control had been a plot by Fisk to buy back the company for cheap. During the events of <a href="Acts_of_Vengeance" title="Acts of Vengeance">Acts of Vengeance</a> (an event Fisk helped organize), massive damage was done to the city and Fisk made a large profit when Damage Control was hired to repair the damages.
</p><p>The confrontation with the Kingpin causes unexpected results. The Damage Control staff find that a movie has been put out, a fictionalized version of their confrontation with the Kingpin. At the wrap party for the premiere, the Damage Control staff is summoned by the <a href="Silver_Surfer" title="Silver Surfer">Silver Surfer</a> to help deal with Edifice Rex, a former employee. He had gained cosmic powers and this, combined with an anal-retentive personality, threatens the cosmos. Several of the employees meet and discuss the problem with other cosmic entities, such as <a href="Galactus" title="Galactus">Galactus</a> and <a href="Lord_Chaos_(Marvel_Comics)" title="Lord Chaos (Marvel Comics)">Lord Chaos</a>. Robin Chapel eventually solves this problem by firing Rex.

</p><p>This leads Wolverine to Anne-Marie Hoag, Damage Control's President (and a brief confrontation with Ann, long-time D.C. receptionist). Anne-Marie reveals that Declun and his investors took a controlling share of the stock after the company went public to obtain more funds. D.C. has also obtained the Stamford reconstruction contract and the contract to train and evaluate registered super-beings. Anne-Marie has suspected Declun of illegal activities but did not have strong enough evidence to counter his ties with Washington, D.C., and the President.
