The Superhuman Restraint Unit is a fictional group in the Marvel Comics universe.
History
The Superhuman Restraint Unit, sometimes abbreviated into "SRU", was created by the American government and S.H.I.E.L.D. to hunt down rogue super-villains, mostly escapees from the Raft event from the New Avengers storyline.
Beginning their actual story during the Civil War after villain Nitro caused and explosion in Stamford, causing the deaths of millions of people including 60 kids, the SRU was assigned to hunt Nitro down. Getting the help from both Iron Man, who leads the team, and the mutant Wolverine, the SRU managed to track Nitro down in his cabin. There, they immediately attacked the villain, but after he unleashed an explosion, the entire first line of SRU were murdered, including their leader Abrams.
As the Civil War among superhumans and villains is still ongoing, it remains to be seen whether a new SRU group is going to be created.
