Dead Cell was a former elite U.S. Navy counter-terrorist unit founded by President George Sears. It was first formed as a small government organisation who would trigger seemingly random terrorist attacks against embassies, consuls and military installations in order to give Navy SEALs and Marine Corps trainees a taste of real anti-terrorism missions. But when their original leader, Colonel Jackson, died in prision the group became more and more extreme. Dead Cell eventually became a terrorist group. They began organizing terrorist attacks, targeting diplomats and civilians alike. Their campaign of terror caused the deaths of thousands of people.

Dead Cell, as part of the S3 Plan to recreate the events of the Shadow Moses incident, was carefully chosen to carry out "roles" to maintain the recreation; Dead Cell stood in for FOXHOUND. Fatman, an explosive specialist, appeared to go renegade and attempt to destroy the Big Shell, ruining the Sons of Liberty's plans. In reality, he was a Patriot agent assigned to test Raiden's progress: if the Big Shell was destroyed, the simulation was over. The Patriots dragged Peter Stillman into the situation in order to coax the man. Fortune had a device planted on her to convince her that she was immortal as it deflected bullets away from her.
The entire team was wiped out during the incident, save for Vamp, who survived the ordeal and later took part in Liquid Ocelot's insurrection.
Dead Cell is based on the real life U.S. Navy counter-terrorist units called Red Cells.
