Original: pdsh.wikia.com/wiki/Shield

Origin:

Joe Higgins was the son of Lieutenant Tom Higgins, a scientist who was working on a chemical formula for super-strength which the Nazis were after. But with success within his grasp, the elder Higgins was killed before he could finish the formula called S.H.I.E.L.D. by German saboteur, Hans Fritz, in the Black Tom explosion, for which Tom was framed.
After Tom's death, his son Joe continued to work on the formula while continuing his studies of chemistry and finally figured out the solution, which meant applying the chemicals to certain parts of the anatomy: Sacrum, Heart, Innervation, Eyes, Lungs, and Derma, and using x-rays. After being badly beaten by his father's killer Joe managed to crawl back to his lab, ingested the formula and sealed himself into a special white suit that was exposed to "flouroscopic rays" for 12 hours. The process was a success and gave him superpower as well as the patriotic colors to his suit, allowing him to become the crime fighter 'The Shield', in order to to avenge his father's death and protect the American way of life.
As The Shield he joined the FBI to clear his father's good name and became a "G-Man Extraordinary" who fought foreign agents and other threats to the US and whose secret identity was known only to FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover. When he vanished 12 years later, he left behind his adopted son and kid partner, Dusty Simmons, whose father had been killed by foreign agents a few years earlier. In 2012 Joe is desperate to find a clue to the whereabouts of Dusty but can't find any evidence that he even existed.

Original Powers:

Thanks to his father's formula, Joe had limited super-strength, superhuman stamina, invulnerability and was able to make great leaps, but he eventually lost his powers and could not repeat the process that gave him his abilities. He continued to fight crime without his powers and wore a costume that made him bullet and flame proof.

Power Upgrade:

When he woke up in 2012 Joe discovered that he not just regained his lost powers but that they were also boosted many times over. He is now able to lift heavier structures from battleships to massive aircrafts, capable to jump several miles in a single leap and run a mile in 60 seconds, and immune to almost all forms of conventional physical damage. He can coordinate his body with balance, flexibility, and dexterity and his agility as well as his reflexes work on superhuman level.
