Please do inform me if more information is needed. I did ask for clarification from a Mod as there is not a substantial amount known about SHIELD in the films.
Now, revisions! First, SHIELD talk. Re: Setting (and has been added to application, but since it's huge I wrote it out here as well)
SHIELD is a American government agency that is ruled by "The Council" as it seems and the Director Nick Fury. It is a constant important presence within the universe from which Loki It stands for Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division. Before it became known as SHIELD it was first known as the SSR, "Strategic Scientific Reserve". The SSR was founded by Howard Stark. They are first seen with heavy involvement during WWII. It is clear that Rogers was recruited by them and within the experiments preformed during these times the Super Soldier formula was born.
They are now considered the eyes and ears of everyone and everything Top Secret. Within their division they hold a variety of skilled workers that range from spies to assassins to scientists. The plethora of technology and intelligence and networking in which SHIELD has under their thumb is only proven within the Marvel Films and especially within The Avengers where SHIELD and the Avengers that had been gathered under SHIELD's working come together and make a formidable enemy to Loki and the Chitauri. They have extensive research facilities and access to a wide range of technologies. We see this with not only their laboratory in which Selvic does studies with the Tesseract but also within the Helicarrier (and the Helicarrier itself being a rather advanced item of technology.)
SHIELD's primary motive is to investigate the events in which require more highly educated levels of intelligence and are beyond the handle of regular law enforcement. They are, when needed to, capable of taking the next steps. Proof of this is their involvements with HYDRA and the defeating of it -- HYDRA being a sub-sect of the Nazi-Germany Army in WWII which was commanded by the Red Skull. It was primarily known for creating highly advanced weaponry. This incredible advancements in weaponry was harnessed through the discovery of the Tesseract upon storming in to Norway one day. HYDRA later becomes their own Army and look beyond WWII and toward world domination. A plot which is stopped by Captain America and company (company being SHIELD/SSR).
SHIELD becomes a part of Loki's timeline when they enter the scene upon the landing of Mjolnir (Thor's hammer). Confiscating the research Foster has prepared on what later becomes known as the Bifrost. The Avengers Initiative eventually is put in to motion in the film "The Avengers" where Selvig had been aiding Director Fury and SHIELD with studies and calculations pertaining to the use of the Tesseract.
They also gather exemplary intelligence and skilled persons or, well, eradicate them if they are causing trouble and such is how Agent Romanoff (Black Widow) gets involved. Hawkeye (Clint Barton) is also enrolled under their duty but it is not entirely known how this comes to be.
Floodgating/Power Sensing & Mind Control Both are mildly hinted at but never completely explained and nor pertinent to his character and thus I can omit them with ease from the application entirely.
Here it is stated that Loki uses his Arcane Lore and knowledge and natural ability to wield such power in order to influence others with or without objects of power. Ergo, he seems to have a know about him when it comes to dark and ancient powers. How extreme this is? Completely vague. Therefore, if you all decide that this is better left omitted, that is fine with me. Personally I would rather omit it than be borderline with it.
Closing statement: the "floodgating" ordeal will be revoked. Power Sensing & Mind Control I am putting in to the Mod's hands to decide whether the above is enough to okay it or if it is best to omit as well. I am good with Loki being incapable of all the above since they're not really fully developed in the films.
Third time is the charm
