Manticore, the evil crime syndicate, is responsible for that attack, as well as everything bad in the world-war, famine, poverty, etc. Mason Kane (Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Chopra) are the last two remaining Citadel agents after they were betrayed and the spy network was wiped out. As Stanley the Spy Tucci explains, "The last line of defense for good in the world." They are beholden to no country, and have allegedly been directly responsible for events such as the tearing down of the Berlin Wall, the establishment of the International Space Station, and the doomsday aversion of Y2K.

"Oh, my God, it's near impossible," Citadel creator David Weil told NationalWorld about the plot. On top of that- Citadel has a pretty complicated story on its hands, including multiple timelines, twists, and double-crosses. Joe and Anthony Russo ( Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Gray Man) are leading the charge as executive producers, with multiple spinoffs already in development before their debut episode even aired.
