*CanonImmigrant: Following their appeance in AdaptationNameChange: His comic book counterpart's name is Calvin ''Zabo'', but the MCU, they show changes it to Calvin ''Johnson''. However, in "The Frenemy of My Enemy", he tells Skye that he changed it to "something more sinister" during his search for her, implying that he may have been introduced in the comics.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: They are generic bad guys in their debut in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' but become much more of a threat in ''Series/Daredevil2015''. May be justified in-universe because the two shows depictgone by Zabo at one point. This is presumably due to Skye's mother being completely different chapters from Daisy Johnson's mother in the comics, meaning her last name had to come from her father instead. Some episodes of the second season do have his name given as "Zabo" at certain points in the subtitles.
* {{Adorkable}}:
** When he finally reunites with his daughter, he fumbles his words and mentions that he wanted to have flowers and "those little almond-chocolate cookies" to greet her.
** When he meets her again after her powers are activated, he acts like an excited fanboy.
--->'''Cal:''' So what's your thing? 'Cause I was kinda hoping for wings.
** And in the back half of the second season, his every interaction with Skye is just bumbling awkward joy.
* AffablyEvil: He's kinda... quirky when he's not being murderously psychotic. He refers to HYDRA's attempts to understand the Diviner as "monkeys scratching at it," mocks Whitehall's translation of an ancient legend concerning it, and scoffs at referring to it as a weapon as "small-minded... [[VerbalBackspace for such a large-minded person]]." However, he gets less affable as his obsession to get Skye to love him grows.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: It's unclear at first, given several characters referring to him as a "monster" and his deep knowledge of the Diviner despite never touching it himself. It's clarified in "One of Us" that while he knows a great deal about the Inhumans through his wife being one, he himself was an ordinary human who gained his strength and emotional instability through his own scientific manipulation.
* AntiVillain: Most of his villainy seems to be fueled by extreme aggression that's he's unable to control, as well as the fact that he lost his daughter to S.H.I.E.L.D. and his wife to HYDRA. However, the thought of a race of SufficientlyAdvancedAliens coming down to Earth to end humanity except for a few "worthy" to be saved isn't something that terribly alarms him; in fact he's looking forward to it. And he has no trouble causing chaos for S.H.I.E.L.D. by getting the "gifted" to make a fuss if it'll help him reunite with Skye.
* AxCrazy: The guy can go into casual murder mode rather quickly.
-->'''Triplett:''' That guy was out of his damn mind.
* BackAlleyDoctor: Patches up bullet and knife wounds for gang members... for a while, anyway.
* BadassBookworm: A doctor who easily defeats two HYDRA {{mooks}} with just a scalpel andout-of-universe a metal box he's carrying.
* BadBoss: Treats Raina like dirt, even though she helped him reunite him with Skye. He then throws her to the curb after he's done with her.
* BerserkButton: Oh, boy, does he have a few...
** Loses it when Raina compares him to Whitehall, seeing Whitehall killed his wife to take her agelessness.
** Bringing up his evil side seems to have a similar effect.
** Referring to his daughter as "Skye" too much isn't a good idea either. It produces more violent results when Lincoln does it.
--->'''Cal:''' '''THAT'S NOT HER NAME!'''
** Anyone but himself taking a fatherly role for Skye also sets him off.
** Getting between him and his vendetta against Whitehall is a very bad idea. Out of everything, that happens to be what finally causes him to try to kill Coulson.
** Don't insult his daughter. A transformed Raina found that out the hard way.
* BigBadDuumvirate: Though he starts off in a BigBadEnsemble with Whitehall, the two team up at the end of "A Hen in the Wolf House" to kill Coulson and his team. He then offers to do the same with Coulson to kill Whitehall.
* BigBadWannabe: His petty feud with Coulson means he's only an inconvenience to him in the grand scheme of things.
* BittersweetEnding: The close of his story arc; he gets his memories erased and is allowed to make a new life for himself as a veterinarian completely under his original personality, that of a laughing, friendly, good-humored goofball. Of course, this means completely forgetting about not only the bad things he experienced, like his wife's torture and eventual death -- at his own hands -- but also all about his beloved daughter.
* BuffySpeak: At times, especially since he's offered his services to Whitehall. This is an instance where Skye's apple doesn't fall far from the tree. As soon as he tries to step up, he's rather unceremoniously plucked off the field by Gordon.
* {{Catchphrase}}:
** He regularly uses the phrase "Let's not lose our heads" as a self-calming method.
** Tends to describe good things as the "best day ever."
** Whenever someone refers to his daughter as Skye, he snaps at them with '''"THAT'S NOT HER NAME!"'''
* CloudCuckoolander: He's completely, utterly insane and knows it. He just can't stop himself.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: He's never once referred to as "Mister Hyde", although his appearance in the season 2 finale is highly reminiscent of the titular character from the original ''Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde''.
* CurbStompBattle: He completely dominates the fist fight with Coulson in 2x10, being stopped by Skye very short of beating him to death.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Revealed over the course of the second season. A S.H.I.E.L.D. team full of HYDRA agents went after a village that included his wife and daughter. He managed to track down his wife and put her back together (though not the same as she was), but all he managed to do was slaughter a lot of people when he tried and failed to find his daughter. He has spent a quarter-century wanting revenge.
* DeadlyDoctor: He has a room with surgical equipment and his hands are always seem to be covered in blood when he meets with Raina.
* DeathOfPersonality: At the end of season 2, his entire memory is erased and replaced with that of a cheerful veterinarian by way of the TAHITI project. It's implied that the 'new' him is the person he used to be, before he became a monster. Thus, this is a DownplayedTrope.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: While he certainly put a lot of thought into the tortures he would inflict on Whitehall, his actual plan to get there is rather lacking. He clearly never counted on Whitehall figuring out his identity, and seems to have no concrete plan on how he'll get to Whitehall in the first place. Ultimately, Cal ends up trying to take on Whitehall while the latter has a gun, and Coulson shoots Whitehall in the back while Whitehall's distracted, saving the vengeance-driven doctor.
* DisappearedDad: Has not been a part of Skye's life for twenty-five years. To be fair, their separation wasn't his fault, he spent a great deal of those twenty-five years trying to find her, and once he did he starts trying to be part of her life again. Unfortunately for him, those twenty-five years have also turned him into someone his daughter doesn't want to know.
* TheDreaded: Raina is terrified of him, probably due in no small part that he's one of a few people she can't manipulate.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Is shown to dislike Whitehall, referring to him as "a butcher." Understandable, considering what the man did to his wife.
** He has nothing but contempt for Raina, mainly because she's concerned about herself and nobody else.
* EvilCounterpart: To Bruce Banner, a very skilled doctor with a HairTriggerTemper he himself is horrified by. Though he's also quite violent in his normal state when he needs to be. This makes sense, given that Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde was one of the original inspirations for Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk. In the comics, Cal's supervillain moniker is "Mister Hyde".
* FakeShemp: Kyle [=MacLachlan=]'s casting wasn't announced until a couple of months after Season 1 ended, so that's probably not him in TheStinger for the finale. That person's hair is also gray.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Despite being Jiaying's husband, the Inhumans look down on him because of theDarkerAndEdgier concept artificial nature of ''Daredevil'' his powers and its sister Netflix shows.
his violent behavior, and they're not happy that his petty feud with SHIELD endangers them.
*WouldHitAGirl: The New York chapter was {{Foreshadowing}}: Conspicuously does ''not'' touch the obelisk. It's made clear in "One of Us" that his powers come through experimentation and he isn't an Inhuman.
* {{Foil}}: Shaping up to be one for Ward. Both love Skye, but while Ward acknowledges how horrible he has been in the past and tries to win her over by being helpful, Cal tries to hide his dark side and intends to force Skye to come to him by killing Coulson. Also to Coulson, the father figure versus the father she never knew.
* GoodParents: Really wants to be this for Skye, and when given the chance, he's doting and loving towards her. Unfortunately, Jiaying's manipulations made him into a monster.
* HairTriggerTemper: He can flip out at the drop of a hat. Just look at the list of things classified as BerserkButton.
* HeelFaceTurn: Sides with Coulson's S.H.I.E.L.D when he convinces him that what Jiaying is doing is wrong and will only hurt their daughter.
* HumanShield: Uses this tactic against HYDRA in "The Frenemy of My Enemy" by putting one of their own between him and their bullets.
* ILied: He was very vague to Raina on what Terrigenesis actually ''was''.
* ItsAllAboutMe: His love for Skye is very unhealthy and obsessive; he wants her to love him and ''only'' him.
* ItsPersonal: Whitehall killed his wife, literally cutting her into pieces. He repeatedly states that he wants revenge on thefactions involved people who took his family from him. Whitehall, who doesn't know him or his connection to the woman he killed, doesn't realize the implied threat.
* {{Jerkass}}: He emotionally manipulated Raina by preying on her desire to be something special, then point-blank refuses to help her cope with the transformation.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: In the second half of the scene...he moves from being against Whitehall, to against SHIELD...which does not go well for people caught in theclusterfuck of a firefight that middle.
* LackOfEmpathy:
** Is completely unsympathetic to Raina when Whitehall threatens to have her killedFrank Castle's family, including and says that she was nothing before he found her.
** When Raina undergoes Terrigenesis, he's dissmive of her and refuses to help her cope with the trauma of it, in stark contrast to his beloved wife, who dedicated her life to helping the Inhumans cope with the change.
* LargeHam: He's mostly composed if not triggered but when he hams it up, he does so with gusto.
* LegionOfDoom: He wants to gather up a couple of "indexed" individuals in order to combat S.H.I.E.L.D. and recover his daughter. Given he's snatched up by Gordon in the same episode and his entire team is captured, it's unlikely this effort will go anywhere.
* LoveRedeems: What ultimately spared him from being executed because of his crimes is his love for his daughter.
* KnifeNut: When your Weapon of Choice is a surgeon's scalpel and you always have at least on or two hidden on your person you qualify as this.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: With Jiayang. She's led the Inhumans for generations, he's just an ordinary human.
* MoralityPet: Starting in "The Frenemy of My Enemy", he has one in his daughter Daisy, who helps him rediscover the NiceGuy that he used to be.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He's a certified M.D. who will casually slaughter a room full of people with a scalpel in order to further his ends.
* MoralityChain: Spending time with his wife and daughter does wonders for his mental stability. He doesn't want them to think he's a monster.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: He eventually plans to do this to Coulson, since he resents him being a [[ParentalSubstitute father figure to Skye]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Skye comes across the scene of one of his outbursts, he realizes she will never accept him as her father after [[MoralEventHorizon that]].
-->'''Skye:''' He's a...!\\
'''Cal:''' ''[[TheseHandsHaveKilled (Staring at his hands)]]'' ...'''monster'''! ''[smashes his tablet]''
* NeverMyFault: It's clear he blames Coulson for driving Skye away, even though it's his violent behavior that actually does it. After reuniting with his wife in Lai Xi, he admits that, yes, it is his fault.
* NiceGuy: He used to be one of these and you can still see glimpses of it in his calmer periods. For example, what was he doing in China with a family? He was volunteering for Doctors Without Borders, fell in love, and relocated.
* NoNameGiven: His first significant role in the plot (with significant screentime) is in the episode "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS2E5AHenInTheWolfHouse A Hen In The Wolf House]]", but he is still just referred to as "Skye's father" or "The Doctor". In "What They Become", his name is given as Cal. His full name is revealed to be Calvin L. Johnson in "The Frenemy Of My Enemy", though he mentions changing it to something more appropriate (presumably Zabo) after Skye went missing.
* NotHelpingYourCase: He doesn't want Skye to see him as a monster, but his violent behavior and all the killing he does despite her protests don't do him any favors.
* OmnicidalManiac: He casually expresses an interest in killing "everyone". He actually takes a thrill in the violence that can unfold.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Until "What They Become", he's simply referred to as "Skye's father" or "The Doctor".
* OneManArmy: Several sources have stated that he wiped out a village single-handedly, and if you believe Ward's version of the events, all those villagers were HYDRA agents.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Took Coulson's slaying of Whitehall very badly, as it meant that he couldn't avenge his wife's death personally. It's a JustifiedTrope as his plans for killing Whitehall were much, much crueler than Coulson's InstantDeathBullet, and he's been planning it for ''decades''.
* PapaWolf:
** In a rather negative way, considering he's both possessive and insane.
** If Ward's to be believed, the village in Hunan that was slaughtered contained HYDRA agents that kidnapped Skye and her mother. The mother was killed by Whitehall before or during Cal's massacre, possibly explaining his unstable behavior in the present.
* PetTheDog:
** All of his direct interactions with Skye when he gets to show off his BumblingDad side.
** When he's asked if Coulson is trustworthy (after they tried to kill each other), he says he hates him... but grudgingly admits that he's a good man who cares for Skye.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: According to Raina, he and Skye's mother destroyed an entire village to find their daughter.
*WouldHurtAChild: ...PsychoSerum: He attributes his strength and personality issues to a formula he developed. He's been trying to perfect it, but that doesn't happen until the end of the second season.
* PunnyName: His name is '''Cal'''vin '''L.''' Johnson. Not unlike [[{{Franchise/Superman}} Kal-El]].
* SadisticChoice: When your wife is trying to kill your daughter, either choice is going to be painful. [[spoiler:Cal sides with his daughter, breaking his wife's neck and then crushing her ribcage to splinters with a super-strong bearhug.]]
* SanitySlippage: Finding the corpse of his wife after Whitehall vivisected her and losing his daughter clearly sent him off the deep end.
* SanityStrengthening: Reuniting with his wife and daughter, and taking a break from his serum, makes him more stable. He even catches himself when he starts losing his temper.
* SplitPersonality: Implied and hinted at. There seems to be at least two sides to Cal. A affable side and an AxCrazy side that kills without warning. Raina believes so, even going as far to tell him that other side is controlling him. When some of Team Coulson, and more specifically Skye, find his handiwork, Cal is mortified, calling himself a monster. Apparently, he doesn't want to be perceived as one. This is fitting, as he's [[Comicbook/TheMightyThor Mister Hyde]].
* SuperStrength: He carves up anyone who pisses him off with a ''scalpel'', with complete ease, and kills with his bare hands. He also easily defeats Raina, who herself demonstrates superhuman strength post-transformation.
* ThrowTheDogABone:
** He will never see his family again afterwards, but Skye agrees to have one family dinner with him at her mother's request.
** His ending. He gets a new peaceful life, and to be happy...and Skye visits him, even though he no longer recognizes her.
* TragicMonster: He might be a jerk, but Cal's life is one big sad story. He was nothing but a loving family man until Whitehall kidnapped Jiaying, vivisected her, and tossed her corpse in the woods. He stitched her back up and her HealingFactor did the rest, but she left him because she [[HeelRealization became horrified by their desperate actions while looking for Skye]]. He then spent decades looking for Skye, as he'd promised Jiaying that he'd find her. But the serum he developed to give him SuperStrength made him psychotic with uncontrollable aggression, turning him into "a monster" and causing him to be shunned by the Inhumans, who used to be his friends. And when he does find Skye, she wants nothing to do with him, and histwo pre-teen children.own wife has him locked up. And then he's ultimately forced to admit his wife has become a monster even worse than he is, who will destroy the world, and he has to kill her to save their daughter's life.
* UndyingLoyalty: In his own words, he would "blindly follow Jiayang into a war". It turns out, however, that his ultimate loyalty lies with his daughter as he turns on his wife when Coulson manages to convince him that her war will ultimately destroy Daisy.
* UngratefulBastard: He's furious at Coulson for killing Whitehall before he could get his revenge, even though Whitehall would have killed him if Coulson hadn't intervened.
* UnnamedParent: Until the mid-season 2 finale, he simply went by "The Doctor". He reveals his name to be Cal in "What They Become". Though his last name isn't revealed, it can be inferred from his personality issues, strength, and Skye's real name that his full name is Calvin Zabo, a.k.a. Mister Hyde.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He brought back Jiaying to life and in doing so unleashed a bloodbath upon the world.
* UsedToBeMoreSocial: He was a doctor, successful/wealthy enough to own an office building in a financially successful part of town, and volunteered in China with Doctors Without Borders, where he fell in love with and married a native, started a family... Now he's a walking BerserkButton.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Cal was a compassionate doctor who adored his family, but the tragedy of losing his daughter and his wife's vivisection drove him to concoct a serum to increase his strength, as he felt he'd failed to protect his family. The serum drove him insane, and he's been a victim of manipulations from his wife and his own mental illness ever since.
* {{Yandere}}: Father-Daughter love in this case, but it's still a creepy obsession that involves killing the competition (in this case, Coulson, the ParentalSubstitute).
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He coldly washes his hands of Raina after her and Skye's transformation, telling her to kill herself if she really can't live with what she's become.
*
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: They are generic bad guys in their debut in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' but become much more of a threat in ''Series/Daredevil2015''. May be justified in-universe because the two shows depict

** And in the back half of the second season, his every interaction with Skye is just bumbling awkward joy.

* BittersweetEnding: The close of his story arc; he gets his memories erased and is allowed to make a new life for himself as a veterinarian completely under his original personality, that of a laughing, friendly, good-humored goofball. Of course, this means completely forgetting about not only the bad things he experienced, like his wife's torture and eventual death -- at his own hands -- but also all about his beloved daughter.
* BuffySpeak: At times, especially since he's offered his services to Whitehall. This is an instance where Skye's apple doesn't fall far from the tree. As soon as he tries to step up, he's rather unceremoniously plucked off the field by Gordon.
* {{Catchphrase}}:
** He regularly uses the phrase "Let's not lose our heads" as a self-calming method.
** Tends to describe good things as the "best day ever."
** Whenever someone refers to his daughter as Skye, he snaps at them with '''"THAT'S NOT HER NAME!"'''
* CloudCuckoolander: He's completely, utterly insane and knows it. He just can't stop himself.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: He's never once referred to as "Mister Hyde", although his appearance in the season 2 finale is highly reminiscent of the titular character from the original ''Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde''.
* CurbStompBattle: He completely dominates the fist fight with Coulson in 2x10, being stopped by Skye very short of beating him to death.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Revealed over the course of the second season. A S.H.I.E.L.D. team full of HYDRA agents went after a village that included his wife and daughter. He managed to track down his wife and put her back together (though not the same as she was), but all he managed to do was slaughter a lot of people when he tried and failed to find his daughter. He has spent a quarter-century wanting revenge.
* DeadlyDoctor: He has a room with surgical equipment and his hands are always seem to be covered in blood when he meets with Raina.
* DeathOfPersonality: At the end of season 2, his entire memory is erased and replaced with that of a cheerful veterinarian by way of the TAHITI project. It's implied that the 'new' him is the person he used to be, before he became a monster. Thus, this is a DownplayedTrope.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: While he certainly put a lot of thought into the tortures he would inflict on Whitehall, his actual plan to get there is rather lacking. He clearly never counted on Whitehall figuring out his identity, and seems to have no concrete plan on how he'll get to Whitehall in the first place. Ultimately, Cal ends up trying to take on Whitehall while the latter has a gun, and Coulson shoots Whitehall in the back while Whitehall's distracted, saving the vengeance-driven doctor.
* DisappearedDad: Has not been a part of Skye's life for twenty-five years. To be fair, their separation wasn't his fault, he spent a great deal of those twenty-five years trying to find her, and once he did he starts trying to be part of her life again. Unfortunately for him, those twenty-five years have also turned him into someone his daughter doesn't want to know.
* TheDreaded: Raina is terrified of him, probably due in no small part that he's one of a few people she can't manipulate.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Is shown to dislike Whitehall, referring to him as "a butcher." Understandable, considering what the man did to his wife.
** He has nothing but contempt for Raina, mainly because she's concerned about herself and nobody else.
* EvilCounterpart: To Bruce Banner, a very skilled doctor with a HairTriggerTemper he himself is horrified by. Though he's also quite violent in his normal state when he needs to be. This makes sense, given that Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde was one of the original inspirations for Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk. In the comics, Cal's supervillain moniker is "Mister Hyde".
* FakeShemp: Kyle [=MacLachlan=]'s casting wasn't announced until a couple of months after Season 1 ended, so that's probably not him in TheStinger for the finale. That person's hair is also gray.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Despite being Jiaying's husband, the Inhumans look down on him because of the
*
* {{Foil}}: Shaping up to be one for Ward. Both love Skye, but while Ward acknowledges how horrible he has been in the past and tries to win her over by being helpful, Cal tries to hide his dark side and intends to force Skye to come to him by killing Coulson. Also to Coulson, the father figure versus the father she never knew.
* GoodParents: Really wants to be this for Skye, and when given the chance, he's doting and loving towards her. Unfortunately, Jiaying's manipulations made him into a monster.
* HairTriggerTemper: He can flip out at the drop of a hat. Just look at the list of things classified as BerserkButton.
* HeelFaceTurn: Sides with Coulson's S.H.I.E.L.D when he convinces him that what Jiaying is doing is wrong and will only hurt their daughter.
* HumanShield: Uses this tactic against HYDRA in "The Frenemy of My Enemy" by putting one of their own between him and their bullets.
* ILied: He was very vague to Raina on what Terrigenesis actually ''was''.
* ItsAllAboutMe: His love for Skye is very unhealthy and obsessive; he wants her to love him and ''only'' him.
* ItsPersonal: Whitehall killed his wife, literally cutting her into pieces. He repeatedly states that he wants revenge on the
* {{Jerkass}}: He emotionally manipulated Raina by preying on her desire to be something special, then point-blank refuses to help her cope with the transformation.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: In the second half of the scene...he moves from being against Whitehall, to against SHIELD...which does not go well for people caught in the
* LackOfEmpathy:
** Is completely unsympathetic to Raina when Whitehall threatens to have her killed
** When Raina undergoes Terrigenesis, he's dissmive of her and refuses to help her cope with the trauma of it, in stark contrast to his beloved wife, who dedicated her life to helping the Inhumans cope with the change.
* LargeHam: He's mostly composed if not triggered but when he hams it up, he does so with gusto.
* LegionOfDoom: He wants to gather up a couple of "indexed" individuals in order to combat S.H.I.E.L.D. and recover his daughter. Given he's snatched up by Gordon in the same episode and his entire team is captured, it's unlikely this effort will go anywhere.
* LoveRedeems: What ultimately spared him from being executed because of his crimes is his love for his daughter.
* KnifeNut: When your Weapon of Choice is a surgeon's scalpel and you always have at least on or two hidden on your person you qualify as this.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: With Jiayang. She's led the Inhumans for generations, he's just an ordinary human.
* MoralityPet: Starting in "The Frenemy of My Enemy", he has one in his daughter Daisy, who helps him rediscover the NiceGuy that he used to be.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He's a certified M.D. who will casually slaughter a room full of people with a scalpel in order to further his ends.
* MoralityChain: Spending time with his wife and daughter does wonders for his mental stability. He doesn't want them to think he's a monster.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: He eventually plans to do this to Coulson, since he resents him being a [[ParentalSubstitute father figure to Skye]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Skye comes across the scene of one of his outbursts, he realizes she will never accept him as her father after [[MoralEventHorizon that]].
-->'''Skye:''' He's a...!\\
'''Cal:''' ''[[TheseHandsHaveKilled (Staring at his hands)]]'' ...'''monster'''! ''[smashes his tablet]''
* NeverMyFault: It's clear he blames Coulson for driving Skye away, even though it's his violent behavior that actually does it. After reuniting with his wife in Lai Xi, he admits that, yes, it is his fault.
* NiceGuy: He used to be one of these and you can still see glimpses of it in his calmer periods. For example, what was he doing in China with a family? He was volunteering for Doctors Without Borders, fell in love, and relocated.
* NoNameGiven: His first significant role in the plot (with significant screentime) is in the episode "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS2E5AHenInTheWolfHouse A Hen In The Wolf House]]", but he is still just referred to as "Skye's father" or "The Doctor". In "What They Become", his name is given as Cal. His full name is revealed to be Calvin L. Johnson in "The Frenemy Of My Enemy", though he mentions changing it to something more appropriate (presumably Zabo) after Skye went missing.
* NotHelpingYourCase: He doesn't want Skye to see him as a monster, but his violent behavior and all the killing he does despite her protests don't do him any favors.
* OmnicidalManiac: He casually expresses an interest in killing "everyone". He actually takes a thrill in the violence that can unfold.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Until "What They Become", he's simply referred to as "Skye's father" or "The Doctor".
* OneManArmy: Several sources have stated that he wiped out a village single-handedly, and if you believe Ward's version of the events, all those villagers were HYDRA agents.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Took Coulson's slaying of Whitehall very badly, as it meant that he couldn't avenge his wife's death personally. It's a JustifiedTrope as his plans for killing Whitehall were much, much crueler than Coulson's InstantDeathBullet, and he's been planning it for ''decades''.
* PapaWolf:
** In a rather negative way, considering he's both possessive and insane.
** If Ward's to be believed, the village in Hunan that was slaughtered contained HYDRA agents that kidnapped Skye and her mother. The mother was killed by Whitehall before or during Cal's massacre, possibly explaining his unstable behavior in the present.
* PetTheDog:
** All of his direct interactions with Skye when he gets to show off his BumblingDad side.
** When he's asked if Coulson is trustworthy (after they tried to kill each other), he says he hates him... but grudgingly admits that he's a good man who cares for Skye.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: According to Raina, he and Skye's mother destroyed an entire village to find their daughter.
*
* PunnyName: His name is '''Cal'''vin '''L.''' Johnson. Not unlike [[{{Franchise/Superman}} Kal-El]].
* SadisticChoice: When your wife is trying to kill your daughter, either choice is going to be painful. [[spoiler:Cal sides with his daughter, breaking his wife's neck and then crushing her ribcage to splinters with a super-strong bearhug.]]
* SanitySlippage: Finding the corpse of his wife after Whitehall vivisected her and losing his daughter clearly sent him off the deep end.
* SanityStrengthening: Reuniting with his wife and daughter, and taking a break from his serum, makes him more stable. He even catches himself when he starts losing his temper.
* SplitPersonality: Implied and hinted at. There seems to be at least two sides to Cal. A affable side and an AxCrazy side that kills without warning. Raina believes so, even going as far to tell him that other side is controlling him. When some of Team Coulson, and more specifically Skye, find his handiwork, Cal is mortified, calling himself a monster. Apparently, he doesn't want to be perceived as one. This is fitting, as he's [[Comicbook/TheMightyThor Mister Hyde]].
* SuperStrength: He carves up anyone who pisses him off with a ''scalpel'', with complete ease, and kills with his bare hands. He also easily defeats Raina, who herself demonstrates superhuman strength post-transformation.
* ThrowTheDogABone:
** He will never see his family again afterwards, but Skye agrees to have one family dinner with him at her mother's request.
** His ending. He gets a new peaceful life, and to be happy...and Skye visits him, even though he no longer recognizes her.
* TragicMonster: He might be a jerk, but Cal's life is one big sad story. He was nothing but a loving family man until Whitehall kidnapped Jiaying, vivisected her, and tossed her corpse in the woods. He stitched her back up and her HealingFactor did the rest, but she left him because she [[HeelRealization became horrified by their desperate actions while looking for Skye]]. He then spent decades looking for Skye, as he'd promised Jiaying that he'd find her. But the serum he developed to give him SuperStrength made him psychotic with uncontrollable aggression, turning him into "a monster" and causing him to be shunned by the Inhumans, who used to be his friends. And when he does find Skye, she wants nothing to do with him, and his
* UndyingLoyalty: In his own words, he would "blindly follow Jiayang into a war". It turns out, however, that his ultimate loyalty lies with his daughter as he turns on his wife when Coulson manages to convince him that her war will ultimately destroy Daisy.
* UngratefulBastard: He's furious at Coulson for killing Whitehall before he could get his revenge, even though Whitehall would have killed him if Coulson hadn't intervened.
* UnnamedParent: Until the mid-season 2 finale, he simply went by "The Doctor". He reveals his name to be Cal in "What They Become". Though his last name isn't revealed, it can be inferred from his personality issues, strength, and Skye's real name that his full name is Calvin Zabo, a.k.a. Mister Hyde.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He brought back Jiaying to life and in doing so unleashed a bloodbath upon the world.
* UsedToBeMoreSocial: He was a doctor, successful/wealthy enough to own an office building in a financially successful part of town, and volunteered in China with Doctors Without Borders, where he fell in love with and married a native, started a family... Now he's a walking BerserkButton.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Cal was a compassionate doctor who adored his family, but the tragedy of losing his daughter and his wife's vivisection drove him to concoct a serum to increase his strength, as he felt he'd failed to protect his family. The serum drove him insane, and he's been a victim of manipulations from his wife and his own mental illness ever since.
* {{Yandere}}: Father-Daughter love in this case, but it's still a creepy obsession that involves killing the competition (in this case, Coulson, the ParentalSubstitute).
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He coldly washes his hands of Raina after her and Skye's transformation, telling her to kill herself if she really can't live with what she's become.

Changed line(s) 464,569 (click to see context) from:
* AdaptationalHeroism: He has quite a few more redeeming qualities than the comics' Mr. Hyde, most of all his being horribly ashamed of what his darker half does.
* AdaptationNameChange: His comic book counterpart's name is Calvin ''Zabo'', but the show changes it to Calvin ''Johnson''. However, in "The Frenemy of My Enemy", he tells Skye that he changed it to "something more sinister" during his search for her, implying that he may have gone by Zabo at one point. This is presumably due to Skye's mother being completely different from Daisy Johnson's mother in the comics, meaning her last name had to come from her father instead. Some episodes of the second season do have his name given as "Zabo" at certain points in the subtitles.
* {{Adorkable}}:
** When he finally reunites with his daughter, he fumbles his words and mentions that he wanted to have flowers and "those little almond-chocolate cookies" to greet her.
** When he meets her again after her powers are activated, he acts like an excited fanboy.
--->'''Cal:''' So what's your thing? 'Cause I was kinda hoping for wings.
** And in the back half of the second season, his every interaction with Skye is just bumbling awkward joy.
* AffablyEvil: He's kinda... quirky when he's not being murderously psychotic. He refers to HYDRA's attempts to understand the Diviner as "monkeys scratching at it," mocks Whitehall's translation of an ancient legend concerning it, and scoffs at referring to it as a weapon as "small-minded... [[VerbalBackspace for such a large-minded person]]." However, he gets less affable as his obsession to get Skye to love him grows.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: It's unclear at first, given several characters referring to him as a "monster" and his deep knowledge of the Diviner despite never touching it himself. It's clarified in "One of Us" that while he knows a great deal about the Inhumans through his wife being one, he himself was an ordinary human who gained his strength and emotional instability through his own scientific manipulation.
* AntiVillain: Most of his villainy seems to be fueled by extreme aggression that's he's unable to control, as well as the fact that he lost his daughter to S.H.I.E.L.D. and his wife to HYDRA. However, the thought of a race of SufficientlyAdvancedAliens coming down to Earth to end humanity except for a few "worthy" to be saved isn't something that terribly alarms him; in fact he's looking forward to it. And he has no trouble causing chaos for S.H.I.E.L.D. by getting the "gifted" to make a fuss if it'll help him reunite with Skye.
* AxCrazy: The guy can go into casual murder mode rather quickly.
-->'''Triplett:''' That guy was out of his damn mind.
* BackAlleyDoctor: Patches up bullet and knife wounds for gang members... for a while, anyway.
* BadassBookworm: A doctor who easily defeats two HYDRA {{mooks}} with just a scalpel and a metal box he's carrying.
* BadBoss: Treats Raina like dirt, even though she helped him reunite him with Skye. He then throws her to the curb after he's done with her.
* BerserkButton: Oh, boy, does he have a few...
** Loses it when Raina compares him to Whitehall, seeing Whitehall killed his wife to take her agelessness.
** Bringing up his evil side seems to have a similar effect.
** Referring to his daughter as "Skye" too much isn't a good idea either. It produces more violent results when Lincoln does it.
--->'''Cal:''' '''THAT'S NOT HER NAME!'''
** Anyone but himself taking a fatherly role for Skye also sets him off.
** Getting between him and his vendetta against Whitehall is a very bad idea. Out of everything, that happens to be what finally causes him to try to kill Coulson.
** Don't insult his daughter. A transformed Raina found that out the hard way.
* BigBadDuumvirate: Though he starts off in a BigBadEnsemble with Whitehall, the two team up at the end of "A Hen in the Wolf House" to kill Coulson and his team. He then offers to do the same with Coulson to kill Whitehall.
* BigBadWannabe: His petty feud with Coulson means he's only an inconvenience to him in the grand scheme of things.
* BittersweetEnding: The close of his story arc; he gets his memories erased and is allowed to make a new life for himself as a veterinarian completely under his original personality, that of a laughing, friendly, good-humored goofball. Of course, this means completely forgetting about not only the bad things he experienced, like his wife's torture and eventual death -- at his own hands -- but also all about his beloved daughter.
* BuffySpeak: At times, especially since he's offered his services to Whitehall. This is an instance where Skye's apple doesn't fall far from the tree. As soon as he tries to step up, he's rather unceremoniously plucked off the field by Gordon.
* {{Catchphrase}}:
** He regularly uses the phrase "Let's not lose our heads" as a self-calming method.
** Tends to describe good things as the "best day ever."
** Whenever someone refers to his daughter as Skye, he snaps at them with '''"THAT'S NOT HER NAME!"'''
* CloudCuckoolander: He's completely, utterly insane and knows it. He just can't stop himself.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: He's never once referred to as "Mister Hyde", although his appearance in the season 2 finale is highly reminiscent of the titular character from the original ''Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde''.
* CurbStompBattle: He completely dominates the fist fight with Coulson in 2x10, being stopped by Skye very short of beating him to death.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Revealed over the course of the second season. A S.H.I.E.L.D. team full of HYDRA agents went after a village that included his wife and daughter. He managed to track down his wife and put her back together (though not the same as she was), but all he managed to do was slaughter a lot of people when he tried and failed to find his daughter. He has spent a quarter-century wanting revenge.
* DeadlyDoctor: He has a room with surgical equipment and his hands are always seem to be covered in blood when he meets with Raina.
* DeathOfPersonality: At the end of season 2, his entire memory is erased and replaced with that of a cheerful veterinarian by way of the TAHITI project. It's implied that the 'new' him is the person he used to be, before he became a monster. Thus, this is a DownplayedTrope.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: While he certainly put a lot of thought into the tortures he would inflict on Whitehall, his actual plan to get there is rather lacking. He clearly never counted on Whitehall figuring out his identity, and seems to have no concrete plan on how he'll get to Whitehall in the first place. Ultimately, Cal ends up trying to take on Whitehall while the latter has a gun, and Coulson shoots Whitehall in the back while Whitehall's distracted, saving the vengeance-driven doctor.
* DisappearedDad: Has not been a part of Skye's life for twenty-five years. To be fair, their separation wasn't his fault, he spent a great deal of those twenty-five years trying to find her, and once he did he starts trying to be part of her life again. Unfortunately for him, those twenty-five years have also turned him into someone his daughter doesn't want to know.
* TheDreaded: Raina is terrified of him, probably due in no small part that he's one of a few people she can't manipulate.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Is shown to dislike Whitehall, referring to him as "a butcher." Understandable, considering what the man did to his wife.
** He has nothing but contempt for Raina, mainly because she's concerned about herself and nobody else.
* EvilCounterpart: To Bruce Banner, a very skilled doctor with a HairTriggerTemper he himself is horrified by. Though he's also quite violent in his normal state when he needs to be. This makes sense, given that Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde was one of the original inspirations for Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk. In the comics, Cal's supervillain moniker is "Mister Hyde".
* FakeShemp: Kyle [=MacLachlan=]'s casting wasn't announced until a couple of months after Season 1 ended, so that's probably not him in TheStinger for the finale. That person's hair is also gray.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Despite being Jiaying's husband, the Inhumans look down on him because of the artificial nature of his powers and his violent behavior, and they're not happy that his petty feud with SHIELD endangers them.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Conspicuously does ''not'' touch the obelisk. It's made clear in "One of Us" that his powers come through experimentation and he isn't an Inhuman.
* {{Foil}}: Shaping up to be one for Ward. Both love Skye, but while Ward acknowledges how horrible he has been in the past and tries to win her over by being helpful, Cal tries to hide his dark side and intends to force Skye to come to him by killing Coulson. Also to Coulson, the father figure versus the father she never knew.
* GoodParents: Really wants to be this for Skye, and when given the chance, he's doting and loving towards her. Unfortunately, Jiaying's manipulations made him into a monster.
* HairTriggerTemper: He can flip out at the drop of a hat. Just look at the list of things classified as BerserkButton.
* HeelFaceTurn: Sides with Coulson's S.H.I.E.L.D when he convinces him that what Jiaying is doing is wrong and will only hurt their daughter.
* HumanShield: Uses this tactic against HYDRA in "The Frenemy of My Enemy" by putting one of their own between him and their bullets.
* ILied: He was very vague to Raina on what Terrigenesis actually ''was''.
* ItsAllAboutMe: His love for Skye is very unhealthy and obsessive; he wants her to love him and ''only'' him.
* ItsPersonal: Whitehall killed his wife, literally cutting her into pieces. He repeatedly states that he wants revenge on the people who took his family from him. Whitehall, who doesn't know him or his connection to the woman he killed, doesn't realize the implied threat.
* {{Jerkass}}: He emotionally manipulated Raina by preying on her desire to be something special, then point-blank refuses to help her cope with the transformation.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: In the second half of the scene...he moves from being against Whitehall, to against SHIELD...which does not go well for people caught in the middle.
* LackOfEmpathy:
** Is completely unsympathetic to Raina when Whitehall threatens to have her killed and says that she was nothing before he found her.
** When Raina undergoes Terrigenesis, he's dissmive of her and refuses to help her cope with the trauma of it, in stark contrast to his beloved wife, who dedicated her life to helping the Inhumans cope with the change.
* LargeHam: He's mostly composed if not triggered but when he hams it up, he does so with gusto.
* LegionOfDoom: He wants to gather up a couple of "indexed" individuals in order to combat S.H.I.E.L.D. and recover his daughter. Given he's snatched up by Gordon in the same episode and his entire team is captured, it's unlikely this effort will go anywhere.
* LoveRedeems: What ultimately spared him from being executed because of his crimes is his love for his daughter.
* KnifeNut: When your Weapon of Choice is a surgeon's scalpel and you always have at least on or two hidden on your person you qualify as this.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: With Jiayang. She's led the Inhumans for generations, he's just an ordinary human.
* MoralityPet: Starting in "The Frenemy of My Enemy", he has one in his daughter Daisy, who helps him rediscover the NiceGuy that he used to be.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He's a certified M.D. who will casually slaughter a room full of people with a scalpel in order to further his ends.
* MoralityChain: Spending time with his wife and daughter does wonders for his mental stability. He doesn't want them to think he's a monster.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: He eventually plans to do this to Coulson, since he resents him being a [[ParentalSubstitute father figure to Skye]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Skye comes across the scene of one of his outbursts, he realizes she will never accept him as her father after [[MoralEventHorizon that]].
-->'''Skye:''' He's a...!\\
'''Cal:''' ''[[TheseHandsHaveKilled (Staring at his hands)]]'' ...'''monster'''! ''[smashes his tablet]''
* NeverMyFault: It's clear he blames Coulson for driving Skye away, even though it's his violent behavior that actually does it. After reuniting with his wife in Lai Xi, he admits that, yes, it is his fault.
* NiceGuy: He used to be one of these and you can still see glimpses of it in his calmer periods. For example, what was he doing in China with a family? He was volunteering for Doctors Without Borders, fell in love, and relocated.
* NoNameGiven: His first significant role in the plot (with significant screentime) is in the episode "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS2E5AHenInTheWolfHouse A Hen In The Wolf House]]", but he is still just referred to as "Skye's father" or "The Doctor". In "What They Become", his name is given as Cal. His full name is revealed to be Calvin L. Johnson in "The Frenemy Of My Enemy", though he mentions changing it to something more appropriate (presumably Zabo) after Skye went missing.
* NotHelpingYourCase: He doesn't want Skye to see him as a monster, but his violent behavior and all the killing he does despite her protests don't do him any favors.
* OmnicidalManiac: He casually expresses an interest in killing "everyone". He actually takes a thrill in the violence that can unfold.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Until "What They Become", he's simply referred to as "Skye's father" or "The Doctor".
* OneManArmy: Several sources have stated that he wiped out a village single-handedly, and if you believe Ward's version of the events, all those villagers were HYDRA agents.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Took Coulson's slaying of Whitehall very badly, as it meant that he couldn't avenge his wife's death personally. It's a JustifiedTrope as his plans for killing Whitehall were much, much crueler than Coulson's InstantDeathBullet, and he's been planning it for ''decades''.
* PapaWolf:
** In a rather negative way, considering he's both possessive and insane.
** If Ward's to be believed, the village in Hunan that was slaughtered contained HYDRA agents that kidnapped Skye and her mother. The mother was killed by Whitehall before or during Cal's massacre, possibly explaining his unstable behavior in the present.
* PetTheDog:
** All of his direct interactions with Skye when he gets to show off his BumblingDad side.
** When he's asked if Coulson is trustworthy (after they tried to kill each other), he says he hates him... but grudgingly admits that he's a good man who cares for Skye.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: According to Raina, he and Skye's mother destroyed an entire village to find their daughter.
* PsychoSerum: He attributes his strength and personality issues to a formula he developed. He's been trying to perfect it, but that doesn't happen until the end of the second season.
* PunnyName: His name is '''Cal'''vin '''L.''' Johnson. Not unlike [[{{Franchise/Superman}} Kal-El]].
* SadisticChoice: When your wife is trying to kill your daughter, either choice is going to be painful. [[spoiler:Cal sides with his daughter, breaking his wife's neck and then crushing her ribcage to splinters with a super-strong bearhug.]]
* SanitySlippage: Finding the corpse of his wife after Whitehall vivisected her and losing his daughter clearly sent him off the deep end.
* SanityStrengthening: Reuniting with his wife and daughter, and taking a break from his serum, makes him more stable. He even catches himself when he starts losing his temper.
* SplitPersonality: Implied and hinted at. There seems to be at least two sides to Cal. A affable side and an AxCrazy side that kills without warning. Raina believes so, even going as far to tell him that other side is controlling him. When some of Team Coulson, and more specifically Skye, find his handiwork, Cal is mortified, calling himself a monster. Apparently, he doesn't want to be perceived as one. This is fitting, as he's [[Comicbook/TheMightyThor Mister Hyde]].
* SuperStrength: He carves up anyone who pisses him off with a ''scalpel'', with complete ease, and kills with his bare hands. He also easily defeats Raina, who herself demonstrates superhuman strength post-transformation.
* ThrowTheDogABone:
** He will never see his family again afterwards, but Skye agrees to have one family dinner with him at her mother's request.
** His ending. He gets a new peaceful life, and to be happy...and Skye visits him, even though he no longer recognizes her.
* TragicMonster: He might be a jerk, but Cal's life is one big sad story. He was nothing but a loving family man until Whitehall kidnapped Jiaying, vivisected her, and tossed her corpse in the woods. He stitched her back up and her HealingFactor did the rest, but she left him because she [[HeelRealization became horrified by their desperate actions while looking for Skye]]. He then spent decades looking for Skye, as he'd promised Jiaying that he'd find her. But the serum he developed to give him SuperStrength made him psychotic with uncontrollable aggression, turning him into "a monster" and causing him to be shunned by the Inhumans, who used to be his friends. And when he does find Skye, she wants nothing to do with him, and his own wife has him locked up. And then he's ultimately forced to admit his wife has become a monster even worse than he is, who will destroy the world, and he has to kill her to save their daughter's life.
* UndyingLoyalty: In his own words, he would "blindly follow Jiayang into a war". It turns out, however, that his ultimate loyalty lies with his daughter as he turns on his wife when Coulson manages to convince him that her war will ultimately destroy Daisy.
* UngratefulBastard: He's furious at Coulson for killing Whitehall before he could get his revenge, even though Whitehall would have killed him if Coulson hadn't intervened.
* UnnamedParent: Until the mid-season 2 finale, he simply went by "The Doctor". He reveals his name to be Cal in "What They Become". Though his last name isn't revealed, it can be inferred from his personality issues, strength, and Skye's real name that his full name is Calvin Zabo, a.k.a. Mister Hyde.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He brought back Jiaying to life and in doing so unleashed a bloodbath upon the world.
* UsedToBeMoreSocial: He was a doctor, successful/wealthy enough to own an office building in a financially successful part of town, and volunteered in China with Doctors Without Borders, where he fell in love with and married a native, started a family... Now he's a walking BerserkButton.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Cal was a compassionate doctor who adored his family, but the tragedy of losing his daughter and his wife's vivisection drove him to concoct a serum to increase his strength, as he felt he'd failed to protect his family. The serum drove him insane, and he's been a victim of manipulations from his wife and his own mental illness ever since.
* {{Yandere}}: Father-Daughter love in this case, but it's still a creepy obsession that involves killing the competition (in this case, Coulson, the ParentalSubstitute).
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He coldly washes his hands of Raina after her and Skye's transformation, telling her to kill herself if she really can't live with what she's become.
* AdaptationNameChange: His comic book counterpart's name is Calvin ''Zabo'', but the show changes it to Calvin ''Johnson''. However, in "The Frenemy of My Enemy", he tells Skye that he changed it to "something more sinister" during his search for her, implying that he may have gone by Zabo at one point. This is presumably due to Skye's mother being completely different from Daisy Johnson's mother in the comics, meaning her last name had to come from her father instead. Some episodes of the second season do have his name given as "Zabo" at certain points in the subtitles.
* {{Adorkable}}:
** When he finally reunites with his daughter, he fumbles his words and mentions that he wanted to have flowers and "those little almond-chocolate cookies" to greet her.
** When he meets her again after her powers are activated, he acts like an excited fanboy.
--->'''Cal:''' So what's your thing? 'Cause I was kinda hoping for wings.
** And in the back half of the second season, his every interaction with Skye is just bumbling awkward joy.
* AffablyEvil: He's kinda... quirky when he's not being murderously psychotic. He refers to HYDRA's attempts to understand the Diviner as "monkeys scratching at it," mocks Whitehall's translation of an ancient legend concerning it, and scoffs at referring to it as a weapon as "small-minded... [[VerbalBackspace for such a large-minded person]]." However, he gets less affable as his obsession to get Skye to love him grows.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: It's unclear at first, given several characters referring to him as a "monster" and his deep knowledge of the Diviner despite never touching it himself. It's clarified in "One of Us" that while he knows a great deal about the Inhumans through his wife being one, he himself was an ordinary human who gained his strength and emotional instability through his own scientific manipulation.
* AntiVillain: Most of his villainy seems to be fueled by extreme aggression that's he's unable to control, as well as the fact that he lost his daughter to S.H.I.E.L.D. and his wife to HYDRA. However, the thought of a race of SufficientlyAdvancedAliens coming down to Earth to end humanity except for a few "worthy" to be saved isn't something that terribly alarms him; in fact he's looking forward to it. And he has no trouble causing chaos for S.H.I.E.L.D. by getting the "gifted" to make a fuss if it'll help him reunite with Skye.
* AxCrazy: The guy can go into casual murder mode rather quickly.
-->'''Triplett:''' That guy was out of his damn mind.
* BackAlleyDoctor: Patches up bullet and knife wounds for gang members... for a while, anyway.
* BadassBookworm: A doctor who easily defeats two HYDRA {{mooks}} with just a scalpel and a metal box he's carrying.
* BadBoss: Treats Raina like dirt, even though she helped him reunite him with Skye. He then throws her to the curb after he's done with her.
* BerserkButton: Oh, boy, does he have a few...
** Loses it when Raina compares him to Whitehall, seeing Whitehall killed his wife to take her agelessness.
** Bringing up his evil side seems to have a similar effect.
** Referring to his daughter as "Skye" too much isn't a good idea either. It produces more violent results when Lincoln does it.
--->'''Cal:''' '''THAT'S NOT HER NAME!'''
** Anyone but himself taking a fatherly role for Skye also sets him off.
** Getting between him and his vendetta against Whitehall is a very bad idea. Out of everything, that happens to be what finally causes him to try to kill Coulson.
** Don't insult his daughter. A transformed Raina found that out the hard way.
* BigBadDuumvirate: Though he starts off in a BigBadEnsemble with Whitehall, the two team up at the end of "A Hen in the Wolf House" to kill Coulson and his team. He then offers to do the same with Coulson to kill Whitehall.
* BigBadWannabe: His petty feud with Coulson means he's only an inconvenience to him in the grand scheme of things.
* BittersweetEnding: The close of his story arc; he gets his memories erased and is allowed to make a new life for himself as a veterinarian completely under his original personality, that of a laughing, friendly, good-humored goofball. Of course, this means completely forgetting about not only the bad things he experienced, like his wife's torture and eventual death -- at his own hands -- but also all about his beloved daughter.
* BuffySpeak: At times, especially since he's offered his services to Whitehall. This is an instance where Skye's apple doesn't fall far from the tree. As soon as he tries to step up, he's rather unceremoniously plucked off the field by Gordon.
* {{Catchphrase}}:
** He regularly uses the phrase "Let's not lose our heads" as a self-calming method.
** Tends to describe good things as the "best day ever."
** Whenever someone refers to his daughter as Skye, he snaps at them with '''"THAT'S NOT HER NAME!"'''
* CloudCuckoolander: He's completely, utterly insane and knows it. He just can't stop himself.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: He's never once referred to as "Mister Hyde", although his appearance in the season 2 finale is highly reminiscent of the titular character from the original ''Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde''.
* CurbStompBattle: He completely dominates the fist fight with Coulson in 2x10, being stopped by Skye very short of beating him to death.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Revealed over the course of the second season. A S.H.I.E.L.D. team full of HYDRA agents went after a village that included his wife and daughter. He managed to track down his wife and put her back together (though not the same as she was), but all he managed to do was slaughter a lot of people when he tried and failed to find his daughter. He has spent a quarter-century wanting revenge.
* DeadlyDoctor: He has a room with surgical equipment and his hands are always seem to be covered in blood when he meets with Raina.
* DeathOfPersonality: At the end of season 2, his entire memory is erased and replaced with that of a cheerful veterinarian by way of the TAHITI project. It's implied that the 'new' him is the person he used to be, before he became a monster. Thus, this is a DownplayedTrope.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: While he certainly put a lot of thought into the tortures he would inflict on Whitehall, his actual plan to get there is rather lacking. He clearly never counted on Whitehall figuring out his identity, and seems to have no concrete plan on how he'll get to Whitehall in the first place. Ultimately, Cal ends up trying to take on Whitehall while the latter has a gun, and Coulson shoots Whitehall in the back while Whitehall's distracted, saving the vengeance-driven doctor.
* DisappearedDad: Has not been a part of Skye's life for twenty-five years. To be fair, their separation wasn't his fault, he spent a great deal of those twenty-five years trying to find her, and once he did he starts trying to be part of her life again. Unfortunately for him, those twenty-five years have also turned him into someone his daughter doesn't want to know.
* TheDreaded: Raina is terrified of him, probably due in no small part that he's one of a few people she can't manipulate.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Is shown to dislike Whitehall, referring to him as "a butcher." Understandable, considering what the man did to his wife.
** He has nothing but contempt for Raina, mainly because she's concerned about herself and nobody else.
* EvilCounterpart: To Bruce Banner, a very skilled doctor with a HairTriggerTemper he himself is horrified by. Though he's also quite violent in his normal state when he needs to be. This makes sense, given that Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde was one of the original inspirations for Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk. In the comics, Cal's supervillain moniker is "Mister Hyde".
* FakeShemp: Kyle [=MacLachlan=]'s casting wasn't announced until a couple of months after Season 1 ended, so that's probably not him in TheStinger for the finale. That person's hair is also gray.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Despite being Jiaying's husband, the Inhumans look down on him because of the artificial nature of his powers and his violent behavior, and they're not happy that his petty feud with SHIELD endangers them.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Conspicuously does ''not'' touch the obelisk. It's made clear in "One of Us" that his powers come through experimentation and he isn't an Inhuman.
* {{Foil}}: Shaping up to be one for Ward. Both love Skye, but while Ward acknowledges how horrible he has been in the past and tries to win her over by being helpful, Cal tries to hide his dark side and intends to force Skye to come to him by killing Coulson. Also to Coulson, the father figure versus the father she never knew.
* GoodParents: Really wants to be this for Skye, and when given the chance, he's doting and loving towards her. Unfortunately, Jiaying's manipulations made him into a monster.
* HairTriggerTemper: He can flip out at the drop of a hat. Just look at the list of things classified as BerserkButton.
* HeelFaceTurn: Sides with Coulson's S.H.I.E.L.D when he convinces him that what Jiaying is doing is wrong and will only hurt their daughter.
* HumanShield: Uses this tactic against HYDRA in "The Frenemy of My Enemy" by putting one of their own between him and their bullets.
* ILied: He was very vague to Raina on what Terrigenesis actually ''was''.
* ItsAllAboutMe: His love for Skye is very unhealthy and obsessive; he wants her to love him and ''only'' him.
* ItsPersonal: Whitehall killed his wife, literally cutting her into pieces. He repeatedly states that he wants revenge on the people who took his family from him. Whitehall, who doesn't know him or his connection to the woman he killed, doesn't realize the implied threat.
* {{Jerkass}}: He emotionally manipulated Raina by preying on her desire to be something special, then point-blank refuses to help her cope with the transformation.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: In the second half of the scene...he moves from being against Whitehall, to against SHIELD...which does not go well for people caught in the middle.
* LackOfEmpathy:
** Is completely unsympathetic to Raina when Whitehall threatens to have her killed and says that she was nothing before he found her.
** When Raina undergoes Terrigenesis, he's dissmive of her and refuses to help her cope with the trauma of it, in stark contrast to his beloved wife, who dedicated her life to helping the Inhumans cope with the change.
* LargeHam: He's mostly composed if not triggered but when he hams it up, he does so with gusto.
* LegionOfDoom: He wants to gather up a couple of "indexed" individuals in order to combat S.H.I.E.L.D. and recover his daughter. Given he's snatched up by Gordon in the same episode and his entire team is captured, it's unlikely this effort will go anywhere.
* LoveRedeems: What ultimately spared him from being executed because of his crimes is his love for his daughter.
* KnifeNut: When your Weapon of Choice is a surgeon's scalpel and you always have at least on or two hidden on your person you qualify as this.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: With Jiayang. She's led the Inhumans for generations, he's just an ordinary human.
* MoralityPet: Starting in "The Frenemy of My Enemy", he has one in his daughter Daisy, who helps him rediscover the NiceGuy that he used to be.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He's a certified M.D. who will casually slaughter a room full of people with a scalpel in order to further his ends.
* MoralityChain: Spending time with his wife and daughter does wonders for his mental stability. He doesn't want them to think he's a monster.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: He eventually plans to do this to Coulson, since he resents him being a [[ParentalSubstitute father figure to Skye]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Skye comes across the scene of one of his outbursts, he realizes she will never accept him as her father after [[MoralEventHorizon that]].

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Revealed over the course of the second season. A S.H.I.E.L.D. team full of HYDRA agents went after a village that includedWouldHitAGirl: Kills his wife and daughter. He managed to track down his wife and put her back together (though not the same as she was), but all he managed to do was slaughter a lot of people when he tried and failed to find his daughter. He has spent a quarter-century wanting revenge.
* DeadlyDoctor: He has a room with surgical equipment and his hands are always seem to be covered in blood when he meets with Raina.
* DeathOfPersonality: At the end of season 2, his entire memory is erased and replaced with that of a cheerful veterinarian by way of the TAHITI project. It's implied that the 'new' him is the person he used to be, before he became a monster. Thus, this is a DownplayedTrope.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: While he certainly put a lot of thought into the tortures he would inflict on Whitehall, his actual plan to get there is rather lacking. He clearly never counted on Whitehall figuring out his identity, and seems to have no concrete plan on how he'll get to Whitehall in the first place. Ultimately, Cal ends up trying to take on Whitehallwhile the latter has a gun, and Coulson shoots Whitehall in the back while Whitehall's distracted, saving the vengeance-driven doctor.
* DisappearedDad: Has not been a part of Skye's life for twenty-five years. To be fair, their separation wasn't his fault, he spent a great deal of those twenty-five years trying to find her, and once he did he starts trying to be part of her life again. Unfortunately for him, those twenty-five years have also turned him into someone his daughter doesn't want to know.
* TheDreaded: Raina is terrified of him, probably due in no small part that he's one of a few people she can't manipulate.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Is shown to dislike Whitehall, referring to him as "a butcher." Understandable, considering what the man did to his wife.
** He has nothing but contempt for Raina, mainly because she's concerned about herself and nobody else.
* EvilCounterpart: To Bruce Banner, a very skilled doctor with a HairTriggerTemper he himself is horrified by. Though he's also quite violent in his normal state when he needs to be. This makes sense, given that Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde was one of the original inspirations for Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk. In the comics, Cal's supervillain moniker is "Mister Hyde".
* FakeShemp: Kyle [=MacLachlan=]'s casting wasn't announced until a couple of months after Season 1 ended, so that's probably not him in TheStinger for the finale. That person's hair is also gray.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Despite being Jiaying's husband, the Inhumans look down on him because of the artificial nature of his powers and his violent behavior, and they're not happy that his petty feud with SHIELD endangers them.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Conspicuously does ''not'' touch the obelisk. It's made clear in "One of Us" that his powers come through experimentation and he isn't an Inhuman.
* {{Foil}}: Shaping up to be one for Ward. Both love Skye, but while Ward acknowledges how horrible he has been in the past and tries to win her over by being helpful, Cal tries to hide his dark side and intends to force Skye to come to him by killing Coulson. Also to Coulson, the father figure versus the father she never knew.
* GoodParents: Really wants to be this for Skye, and when given the chance, he's doting and loving towards her. Unfortunately, Jiaying's manipulations made him into a monster.
* HairTriggerTemper: He can flip out at the drop of a hat. Just look at the list of things classified as BerserkButton.
* HeelFaceTurn: Sides with Coulson's S.H.I.E.L.D when he convinces him that what Jiaying is doing is wrong and will only hurt their daughter.
* HumanShield: Uses this tactic against HYDRA in "The Frenemy of My Enemy" by putting one of their own between him and their bullets.
* ILied: He was very vague to Raina on what Terrigenesis actually ''was''.
* ItsAllAboutMe: His love for Skye is very unhealthy and obsessive; he wants her to love him and ''only'' him.
* ItsPersonal: Whitehall killed his wife, literally cutting her into pieces. He repeatedly states that he wants revenge on the people who took his family from him. Whitehall, who doesn't know him or his connection to the woman he killed, doesn't realize the implied threat.
* {{Jerkass}}: He emotionally manipulated Raina by preying on her desire to be something special, then point-blank refuses to help her cope with the transformation.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: In the second half of the scene...he moves from being against Whitehall, to against SHIELD...which does not go well for people caught in the middle.
* LackOfEmpathy:
** Is completely unsympathetic to Raina when Whitehall threatens to have her killed and says that she was nothing before he found her.
** When Raina undergoes Terrigenesis, he's dissmive of her and refuses to help her cope with the trauma of it, in stark contrast to his beloved wife, who dedicated her life to helping the Inhumans cope with the change.
* LargeHam: He's mostly composed if not triggered but when he hams it up, he does so with gusto.
* LegionOfDoom: He wants to gather up a couple of "indexed" individuals in order to combat S.H.I.E.L.D. and recover his daughter. Given he's snatched up by Gordon in the same episode and his entire team is captured, it's unlikely this effort will go anywhere.
* LoveRedeems: What ultimately spared him from being executed because of his crimes is his love for his daughter.
* KnifeNut: When your Weapon of Choice is a surgeon's scalpel and you always have at least on or two hidden on your person you qualify as this.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: With Jiayang. She's led the Inhumans for generations, he's just an ordinary human.
* MoralityPet: Starting in "The Frenemy of My Enemy", he has one in his daughter Daisy, who helps him rediscover the NiceGuy that he used to be.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He's a certified M.D. who will casually slaughter a room full of people with a scalpel in order to further his ends.
* MoralityChain: Spending time with his wife and daughter does wonders for his mental stability. He doesn't want them to think he's a monster.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: He eventually plans to do this to Coulson, since he resents him being a [[ParentalSubstitute father figure to Skye]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Skye comes across the scene of one of his outbursts, he realizes she will never accept him as her father after [[MoralEventHorizon that]].
-->'''Skye:''' He's a...!\\
'''Cal:''' ''[[TheseHandsHaveKilled (Staring at his hands)]]'' ...'''monster'''! ''[smashes his tablet]''
* NeverMyFault: It's clear he blames Coulson for driving Skye away, even though it's his violent behavior that actually does it. After reuniting with his wife in Lai Xi, he admits that, yes, it is his fault.
* NiceGuy: He used to be one of these and you can still see glimpses of it in his calmer periods. For example, what was he doing in China with a family? He was volunteering for Doctors Without Borders, fell in love, and relocated.
* NoNameGiven: His first significant role in the plot (with significant screentime) is in the episode "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS2E5AHenInTheWolfHouse A Hen In The Wolf House]]", but he is still just referred to as "Skye's father" or "The Doctor". In "What They Become", his name is given as Cal. His full name is revealed to be Calvin L. Johnson in "The Frenemy Of My Enemy", though he mentions changing it to something more appropriate (presumably Zabo) after Skye went missing.
* NotHelpingYourCase: He doesn't want Skye to see him as a monster, but his violent behavior and all the killing he does despite her protests don't do him any favors.
* OmnicidalManiac: He casually expresses an interest in killing "everyone". He actually takes a thrill in the violence that can unfold.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Until "What They Become", he's simply referred to as "Skye's father" or "The Doctor".
* OneManArmy: Several sources have stated that he wiped out a village single-handedly, and if you believe Ward's version of the events, all those villagers were HYDRA agents.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Took Coulson's slaying of Whitehall very badly, as it meant that he couldn't avenge his wife's death personally. It's a JustifiedTrope as his plans for killing Whitehall were much, much crueler than Coulson's InstantDeathBullet, and he's been planning it for ''decades''.
* PapaWolf:
** In a rather negative way, considering he's both possessive and insane.
** If Ward's to be believed, the village in Hunan that was slaughtered contained HYDRA agents that kidnapped Skye and her mother. The mother was killed by Whitehall before or during Cal's massacre, possibly explaining his unstable behavior in the present.
* PetTheDog:
** All of his direct interactions with Skye when he gets to show off his BumblingDad side.
** When he's asked if Coulson is trustworthy (after they tried to kill each other), he says he hates him... but grudgingly admits that he's a good man who cares for Skye.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: According to Raina, he and Skye's mother destroyed an entire village to find their daughter.
* PsychoSerum: He attributes his strength and personality issues to a formula he developed. He's been trying to perfect it, but that doesn't happen until the end of the second season.
* PunnyName: His name is '''Cal'''vin '''L.''' Johnson. Not unlike [[{{Franchise/Superman}} Kal-El]].
* SadisticChoice: When your wife is trying to kill your daughter, either choice is going to be painful. [[spoiler:Cal sides with his daughter, breaking his wife's neck and then crushing her ribcage to splinters with a super-strong bearhug.]]
* SanitySlippage: Finding the corpse of his wife after Whitehall vivisected her and losing his daughter clearly sent him off the deep end.
* SanityStrengthening: Reuniting with his wife and daughter, and taking a break from his serum, makes him more stable. He even catches himself when he starts losing his temper.
* SplitPersonality: Implied and hinted at. There seems to be at least two sides to Cal. A affable side and an AxCrazy side that kills without warning. Raina believes so, even going as far to tell him that other side is controlling him. When some of Team Coulson, and more specifically Skye, find his handiwork, Cal is mortified, calling himself a monster. Apparently, he doesn't want to be perceived as one. This is fitting, as he's [[Comicbook/TheMightyThor Mister Hyde]].
* SuperStrength: He carves up anyone who pisses him off with a ''scalpel'', with complete ease, and kills with his bare hands. He also easily defeats Raina, who herself demonstrates superhuman strength post-transformation.
* ThrowTheDogABone:
** He will never see his family again afterwards, but Skye agrees to have one family dinner with him at her mother's request.
** His ending. He gets a new peaceful life, and to be happy...and Skye visits him, even though he no longer recognizes her.
* TragicMonster: He might be a jerk, but Cal's life is one big sad story. He was nothing but a loving family man until Whitehall kidnapped Jiaying, vivisected her, and tossed her corpse in the woods. He stitched her back up and her HealingFactor did the rest, but she left him because she [[HeelRealization became horrified by their desperate actions while looking for Skye]]. He then spent decades looking for Skye, as he'd promised Jiaying that he'd find her. But the serum he developed to give him SuperStrength made him psychotic with uncontrollable aggression, turning him into "a monster" and causing him to be shunned by the Inhumans, who used to be his friends. And when he does find Skye, she wants nothing to do with him, and his own wife has him locked up. And then he's ultimately forced to admit his wife has become a monster even worse than he is, who will destroy the world, and he has to kill her to save their daughter's life.
* UndyingLoyalty: In his own words, he would "blindly follow Jiayang into a war". It turns out, however, that his ultimate loyalty lies with his daughter as he turns on his wife when Coulson manages to convince him that her war will ultimately destroy Daisy.
* UngratefulBastard: He's furious at Coulson for killing Whitehall before he could get his revenge, even though Whitehall would have killed him if Coulson hadn't intervened.
* UnnamedParent: Until the mid-season 2 finale, he simply went by "The Doctor". He reveals his name to be Cal in "What They Become". Though his last name isn't revealed, it can be inferred from his personality issues, strength, and Skye's real name that his full name is Calvin Zabo, a.k.a. Mister Hyde.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He brought back Jiaying to life and in doing so unleashed a bloodbath upon the world.
* UsedToBeMoreSocial: He was a doctor, successful/wealthy enough to own an office building in a financially successful part of town, and volunteered in China with Doctors Without Borders, where he fell in love with and married a native, started a family... Now he's a walking BerserkButton.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Cal was a compassionate doctor who adored his family, but the tragedy of losing his daughter and his wife's vivisection drove him to concoct a serum to increase his strength, as he felt he'd failed to protect his family. The serum drove him insane, and he's been a victim of manipulations from his wife and his own mental illness ever since.
* {{Yandere}}: Father-Daughter love in this case, but it's still a creepy obsession that involves killing the competition (in this case, Coulson, the ParentalSubstitute).
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He coldly washes his hands of Raina after her and Skye's transformation, telling her to kill herself if she really can't live with what she's become.under Lorelei's power.
* AdaptationNameChange: His comic book counterpart's name is Calvin ''Zabo'', but the show changes it to Calvin ''Johnson''. However, in "The Frenemy of My Enemy", he tells Skye that he changed it to "something more sinister" during his search for her, implying that he may have gone by Zabo at one point. This is presumably due to Skye's mother being completely different from Daisy Johnson's mother in the comics, meaning her last name had to come from her father instead. Some episodes of the second season do have his name given as "Zabo" at certain points in the subtitles.
* {{Adorkable}}:
** When he finally reunites with his daughter, he fumbles his words
** When he meets her again after her powers are activated, he acts like an excited fanboy.
--->'''Cal:''' So what's your thing? 'Cause I was kinda hoping for wings.
** And in the back half of the second season, his every interaction with Skye is just bumbling awkward joy.
* AffablyEvil: He's kinda... quirky when he's not being murderously psychotic. He refers to HYDRA's attempts to understand the Diviner as "monkeys scratching at it," mocks Whitehall's translation of an ancient legend concerning it, and scoffs at referring to it as a weapon as "small-minded... [[VerbalBackspace for such a large-minded person]]." However, he gets less affable as his obsession to get Skye to love him grows.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: It's unclear at first, given several characters referring to him as a "monster" and his deep knowledge of the Diviner despite never touching it himself. It's clarified in "One of Us" that while he knows a great deal about the Inhumans through his wife being one, he himself was an ordinary human who gained his strength and emotional instability through
*
* AxCrazy: The guy can go into casual murder mode rather quickly.
-->'''Triplett:''' That guy was out of his damn mind.
* BackAlleyDoctor: Patches up bullet and knife wounds for gang members... for a while, anyway.
* BadassBookworm: A doctor who easily defeats two HYDRA {{mooks}} with just a scalpel and a metal box he's carrying.
* BadBoss: Treats Raina like dirt, even though she helped him reunite him with Skye. He then throws her to the curb
* BerserkButton: Oh, boy, does he have a few...
** Loses it when Raina compares him to Whitehall, seeing Whitehall killed his wife to take her agelessness.
** Bringing up his evil side seems to have a similar effect.
** Referring to his daughter as "Skye" too much isn't a good idea either. It produces more violent results when Lincoln does it.
--->'''Cal:''' '''THAT'S NOT HER NAME!'''
** Anyone but himself taking a fatherly role for Skye also sets him off.
** Getting between
** Don't insult his daughter. A transformed Raina found that out the hard way.
*
* BigBadWannabe: His petty feud with Coulson means he's only an inconvenience to him in the grand scheme of things.
* BittersweetEnding: The close of his story arc; he gets his memories erased and is allowed to make a new life for himself as a veterinarian completely under his original personality, that of a laughing, friendly, good-humored goofball. Of course, this means completely forgetting about not only the bad things he experienced, like his wife's torture and eventual death -- at his own hands -- but also all about his beloved daughter.
* BuffySpeak: At times, especially since he's offered his services to Whitehall. This is an instance where Skye's apple doesn't fall far from the tree. As soon as he tries to step up, he's rather unceremoniously plucked off the field by Gordon.
* {{Catchphrase}}:
** He regularly uses the phrase "Let's not lose our heads" as a self-calming method.
** Tends to describe good things as the "best day ever."
** Whenever someone refers to his daughter as Skye, he snaps at them with '''"THAT'S NOT HER NAME!"'''
* CloudCuckoolander: He's completely, utterly insane and knows it. He just can't stop himself.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: He's never once referred to as "Mister Hyde", although his appearance in the season 2 finale is highly reminiscent of the titular character from the original ''Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde''.
* CurbStompBattle: He completely dominates the fist fight with Coulson in 2x10, being stopped by Skye very short of beating him to death.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Revealed over the course of the second season. A S.H.I.E.L.D. team full of HYDRA agents went after a village that included
* DeadlyDoctor: He has a room with surgical equipment and his hands are always seem to be covered in blood when he meets with Raina.
* DeathOfPersonality: At the end of season 2, his entire memory is erased and replaced with that of a cheerful veterinarian by way of the TAHITI project. It's implied that the 'new' him is the person he used to be, before he became a monster. Thus, this is a DownplayedTrope.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: While he certainly put a lot of thought into the tortures he would inflict on Whitehall, his actual plan to get there is rather lacking. He clearly never counted on Whitehall figuring out his identity, and seems to have no concrete plan on how he'll get to Whitehall in the first place. Ultimately, Cal ends up trying to take on Whitehall
* DisappearedDad: Has not been a part of Skye's life for twenty-five years. To be fair, their separation wasn't his fault, he spent a great deal of those twenty-five years trying to find her, and once he did he starts trying to be part of her life again. Unfortunately for him, those twenty-five years have also turned him into someone his daughter doesn't want to know.

* EvilCounterpart: To Bruce Banner, a very skilled doctor with a HairTriggerTemper he himself is horrified by. Though he's also quite violent in his normal state when he needs to be. This makes sense, given that Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde was one of the original inspirations for Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk. In the comics, Cal's supervillain moniker is "Mister Hyde".

However, in "The Frenemy of My Enemy", he tells Skye that he changed it to "something more sinister" during his search for her, implying that he may have gone byLucy's paranoia and hallucination-inducing touch and dying Zabo at one point.

It's clarified in "One of Us" that while he knows a great deal about the Inhumans through his wife being one, he himself was an ordinary human who gained his strength and emotional instability through his own scientific manipulation.
* AntiVillain: Most of his villainy seems to be fueled byLucy Bauer's touch, which extreme aggression that's he's unable to control, as well as the fact that he lost his daughter to S.H.I.E.L.D. and his wife to HYDRA. However, the thought of a race of SufficientlyAdvancedAliens coming down to Earth to end humanity except for a few "worthy" to be saved isn't something that terribly alarms him; in fact he's looking forward to it.

** Loses it when Raina compares him to Whitehall, seeing Whitehall killed his wife to take her agelessness.
** Bringing up his evil side seems to have a similar effect.
** Referring to his daughter as "Skye" too much isn't a good idea either. It produces more violent results when Lincoln does it.

** Anyone but himself taking a fatherly role for Skye also sets him off.
** Getting between him and his vendetta against Whitehall is a very bad idea. Out of everything, that happens to be what finally causes him tosuffer from paranoia try to kill Coulson.
** Don't insult his daughter. A transformed Raina found that out the hard way.
* BigBadDuumvirate: Though he starts off in a BigBadEnsemble with Whitehall, the two team up at the end of "A Hen in the Wolf House" to kill Coulson andhallucinations until his team. He then offers to do the same with Coulson to kill Whitehall.
* BigBadWannabe: His petty feud with Coulson means he's only an inconvenience to him in the grand scheme of things.
* BittersweetEnding: The close of his story arc; hedies gets his memories erased and is allowed to make a new life for himself as a veterinarian completely under his original personality, that of a laughing, friendly, good-humored goofball. Of course, this means completely forgetting about not only the bad things he experienced, like his wife's torture and eventual death -- at his own hands -- but also all about his beloved daughter.
* BuffySpeak: At times, especially since he's offered his services to Whitehall. This is an instance where Skye's apple doesn't fall far from thedamage tree. As soon as he tries to step up, he's rather unceremoniously plucked off the field by Gordon.
* {{Catchphrase}}:
** He regularly uses the phrase "Let's not lose our heads" as a self-calming method.
** Tends to describe good things as the "best day ever."
** Whenever someone refers to hisbrain.
daughter as Skye, he snaps at them with '''"THAT'S NOT HER NAME!"'''
*TriadsAndTongs: CloudCuckoolander: He's completely, utterly insane and knows it. He just can't stop himself.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: He's never once referred to as "Mister Hyde", although his appearance in the season 2 finale is highly reminiscent of the titular character from the original ''Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde''.
* CurbStompBattle: He completely dominates the fist fight with Coulson in 2x10, being stopped by Skye very short of beating him to death.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Revealed over the course of the second season. A S.H.I.E.L.D. team full of HYDRA agents went after a village that included his wife and daughter. He managed to track down his wife and put her back together (though not the same as she was), but all he managed to do was slaughter a lot of people when he tried and failed to find his daughter. He has spent a quarter-century wanting revenge.
* DeadlyDoctor: He has a room with surgical equipment and his hands are always seem to be covered in blood when he meets with Raina.
* DeathOfPersonality: At the end of season 2, his entire memory is erased and replaced with that of a cheerful veterinarian by way of the TAHITI project. It's implied that the 'new' him is the person he used to be, before he became a monster. Thus, this is a DownplayedTrope.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: While he certainly put a lot of thought into the tortures he would inflict on Whitehall, his actual plan to get there is rather lacking. He clearly never counted on Whitehall figuring out his identity, and seems to have no concrete plan on how he'll get to Whitehall in the first place. Ultimately, Cal ends up trying to take on Whitehall while the latter has a gun, and Coulson shoots Whitehall in the back while Whitehall's distracted, saving the vengeance-driven doctor.
* DisappearedDad: Has not been a part of Skye's life for twenty-five years. To be fair, their separation wasn't his fault, he spent a great deal of those twenty-five years trying to find her, and once he did he starts trying to be part of her life again. Unfortunately for him, those twenty-five years have also turned him into someone his daughter doesn't want to know.
* TheDreaded: Raina is terrified of him, probably due in no small part that he's one of a few people she can't manipulate.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Is shown to dislike Whitehall, referring to him as "a butcher." Understandable, considering what the man did to his wife.
** He has nothing but contempt for Raina, mainly because she's concerned about herself and nobody else.
* EvilCounterpart: To Bruce Banner, a very skilled doctor with a HairTriggerTemper he himself is horrified by. Though he's also quite violent in his normal state when he needs to be. This makes sense, given that Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde was one of the original inspirations for Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk. In the comics, Cal's supervillain moniker is "Mister Hyde".
* FakeShemp: Kyle [=MacLachlan=]'s casting wasn't announced until a couple of months after Season 1 ended, so that's probably not him in TheStinger for the finale. That person's hair is also gray.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Despite being Jiaying's husband, the Inhumans look down on him because of the artificial nature of his powers and his violent behavior, and they're not happy that his petty feud with SHIELD endangers them.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Conspicuously does ''not'' touch the obelisk. It's made clear in "One of Us" that his powers come through experimentation and he isn't an Inhuman.
* {{Foil}}: Shaping up to be one for Ward. Both love Skye, but while Ward acknowledges how horrible he has been in the past and tries to win her over by being helpful, Cal tries to hide his dark side and intends to force Skye to come to him by killing Coulson. Also to Coulson, the father figure versus the father she never knew.
* GoodParents: Really wants to be this for Skye, and when given the chance, he's doting and loving towards her. Unfortunately, Jiaying's manipulations made him into a monster.
* HairTriggerTemper: He can flip out at the drop of a hat. Just look at the list of things classified as BerserkButton.
* HeelFaceTurn: Sides with Coulson's S.H.I.E.L.D when he convinces him that what Jiaying is doing is wrong and will only hurt their daughter.
* HumanShield: Uses this tactic against HYDRA in "The Frenemy of My Enemy" by putting one of their own between him and their bullets.
* ILied: He was very vague to Raina on what Terrigenesis actually ''was''.
* ItsAllAboutMe: His love for Skye is very unhealthy and obsessive; he wants her to love him and ''only'' him.
* ItsPersonal: Whitehall killed his wife, literally cutting her into pieces. He repeatedly states that he wants revenge on the people who took his family from him. Whitehall, who doesn't know him or his connection to the woman he killed, doesn't realize the implied threat.
* {{Jerkass}}: He emotionally manipulated Raina by preying on her desire to be something special, then point-blank refuses to help her cope with the transformation.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: In the second half of the scene...he moves from being against Whitehall, to against SHIELD...which does not go well for people caught in the middle.
* LackOfEmpathy:
** Is completely unsympathetic to Raina when Whitehall threatens to have her killed and says that she was nothing before he found her.
** When Raina undergoes Terrigenesis, he's dissmive of her and refuses to help her cope with the trauma of it, in stark contrast to his beloved wife, who dedicated her life to helping the Inhumans cope with the change.
* LargeHam: He's mostly composed if not triggered but when he hams it up, he does so with gusto.
* LegionOfDoom: He wants to gather up a couple of "indexed" individuals in order to combat S.H.I.E.L.D. and recover his daughter. Given he's snatched up by Gordon in the same episode and his entire team is captured, it's unlikely this effort will go anywhere.
* LoveRedeems: What ultimately spared him from being executed because of his crimes is his love for his daughter.
* KnifeNut: When your Weapon of Choice is a surgeon's scalpel and you always have at least on or two hidden on your person you qualify as this.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: With Jiayang. She's led the Inhumans for generations, he's just an ordinary human.
* MoralityPet: Starting in "The Frenemy of My Enemy", he has one in his daughter Daisy, who helps him rediscover the NiceGuy that he used to be.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He's amobster certified M.D. who will casually slaughter a room full of Chinese origin leading people with a crime syndicate composed scalpel in order to further his ends.
* MoralityChain: Spending time with his wife and daughter does wonders for his mental stability. He doesn't want them to think he's a monster.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: He eventually plans to do this to Coulson, since he resents him being a [[ParentalSubstitute father figure to Skye]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Skye comes across the scene of one of his outbursts, he realizes she will never accept him as her father after [[MoralEventHorizon that]].
-->'''Skye:''' He's a...!\\
'''Cal:''' ''[[TheseHandsHaveKilled (Staring at his hands)]]'' ...'''monster'''! ''[smashes his tablet]''
* NeverMyFault: It's clear he blames Coulson for driving Skye away, even though it's his violent behavior that actually does it. After reuniting with his wife in Lai Xi, he admits that, yes, it is his fault.
* NiceGuy: He used to be one of these and you can still see glimpses of it in his calmer periods. For example, what was he doing in China with a family? He was volunteering for Doctors Without Borders, fell in love, and relocated.
* NoNameGiven: His first significant role in the plot (with significant screentime) is in the episode "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS2E5AHenInTheWolfHouse A Hen In The Wolf House]]", but he is still just referred to as "Skye's father" or "The Doctor". In "What They Become", his name is given as Cal. His full name is revealed to be Calvin L. Johnson in "The Frenemy Of My Enemy", though he mentions changing it to something more appropriate (presumably Zabo) after Skye went missing.
* NotHelpingYourCase: He doesn't want Skye to see him as a monster, but his violent behavior and all the killing he does despite her protests don't do him any favors.
* OmnicidalManiac: He casually expresses an interest in killing "everyone". He actually takes a thrill in the violence that can unfold.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Until "What They Become", he's simply referred to as "Skye's father" or "The Doctor".
* OneManArmy: Several sources have stated that he wiped out a village single-handedly, and if you believe Ward's version of the events, all those villagers were HYDRA agents.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Took Coulson's slaying of Whitehall very badly, as it meant that he couldn't avenge his wife's death personally. It's a JustifiedTrope as his plans for killing Whitehall were much, much crueler than Coulson's InstantDeathBullet, and he's been planning it for ''decades''.
* PapaWolf:
** In a rather negative way, considering he's both possessive and insane.
** If Ward's to be believed, the village in Hunan that was slaughtered contained HYDRA agents that kidnapped Skye and her mother. The mother was killed byChinese.Whitehall before or during Cal's massacre, possibly explaining his unstable behavior in the present.
* PetTheDog:
** All of his direct interactions with Skye when he gets to show off his BumblingDad side.
** When he's asked if Coulson is trustworthy (after they tried to kill each other), he says he hates him... but grudgingly admits that he's a good man who cares for Skye.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: According to Raina, he and Skye's mother destroyed an entire village to find their daughter.
* PsychoSerum: He attributes his strength and personality issues to a formula he developed. He's been trying to perfect it, but that doesn't happen until the end of the second season.
* PunnyName: His name is '''Cal'''vin '''L.''' Johnson. Not unlike [[{{Franchise/Superman}} Kal-El]].
* SadisticChoice: When your wife is trying to kill your daughter, either choice is going to be painful. [[spoiler:Cal sides with his daughter, breaking his wife's neck and then crushing her ribcage to splinters with a super-strong bearhug.]]
* SanitySlippage: Finding the corpse of his wife after Whitehall vivisected her and losing his daughter clearly sent him off the deep end.
* SanityStrengthening: Reuniting with his wife and daughter, and taking a break from his serum, makes him more stable. He even catches himself when he starts losing his temper.
* SplitPersonality: Implied and hinted at. There seems to be at least two sides to Cal. A affable side and an AxCrazy side that kills without warning. Raina believes so, even going as far to tell him that other side is controlling him. When some of Team Coulson, and more specifically Skye, find his handiwork, Cal is mortified, calling himself a monster. Apparently, he doesn't want to be perceived as one. This is fitting, as he's [[Comicbook/TheMightyThor Mister Hyde]].
* SuperStrength: He carves up anyone who pisses him off with a ''scalpel'', with complete ease, and kills with his bare hands. He also easily defeats Raina, who herself demonstrates superhuman strength post-transformation.
* ThrowTheDogABone:
** He will never see his family again afterwards, but Skye agrees to have one family dinner with him at her mother's request.
** His ending. He gets a new peaceful life, and to be happy...and Skye visits him, even though he no longer recognizes her.
* TragicMonster: He might be a jerk, but Cal's life is one big sad story. He was nothing but a loving family man until Whitehall kidnapped Jiaying, vivisected her, and tossed her corpse in the woods. He stitched her back up and her HealingFactor did the rest, but she left him because she [[HeelRealization became horrified by their desperate actions while looking for Skye]]. He then spent decades looking for Skye, as he'd promised Jiaying that he'd find her. But the serum he developed to give him SuperStrength made him psychotic with uncontrollable aggression, turning him into "a monster" and causing him to be shunned by the Inhumans, who used to be his friends. And when he does find Skye, she wants nothing to do with him, and his own wife has him locked up. And then he's ultimately forced to admit his wife has become a monster even worse than he is, who will destroy the world, and he has to kill her to save their daughter's life.
* UndyingLoyalty: In his own words, he would "blindly follow Jiayang into a war". It turns out, however, that his ultimate loyalty lies with his daughter as he turns on his wife when Coulson manages to convince him that her war will ultimately destroy Daisy.
* UngratefulBastard: He's furious at Coulson for killing Whitehall before he could get his revenge, even though Whitehall would have killed him if Coulson hadn't intervened.
* UnnamedParent: Until the mid-season 2 finale, he simply went by "The Doctor". He reveals his name to be Cal in "What They Become". Though his last name isn't revealed, it can be inferred from his personality issues, strength, and Skye's real name that his full name is Calvin Zabo, a.k.a. Mister Hyde.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He brought back Jiaying to life and in doing so unleashed a bloodbath upon the world.
* UsedToBeMoreSocial: He was a doctor, successful/wealthy enough to own an office building in a financially successful part of town, and volunteered in China with Doctors Without Borders, where he fell in love with and married a native, started a family... Now he's a walking BerserkButton.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Cal was a compassionate doctor who adored his family, but the tragedy of losing his daughter and his wife's vivisection drove him to concoct a serum to increase his strength, as he felt he'd failed to protect his family. The serum drove him insane, and he's been a victim of manipulations from his wife and his own mental illness ever since.
* {{Yandere}}: Father-Daughter love in this case, but it's still a creepy obsession that involves killing the competition (in this case, Coulson, the ParentalSubstitute).
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He coldly washes his hands of Raina after her and Skye's transformation, telling her to kill herself if she really can't live with what she's become.
* AdaptationNameChange: His comic book counterpart's name is Calvin ''Zabo'', but the show changes it to Calvin ''Johnson''. However, in "The Frenemy of My Enemy", he tells Skye that he changed it to "something more sinister" during his search for her, implying that he may have gone by
*
** When he finally reunites with his daughter, he fumbles his words and mentions that he wanted to have flowers and "those little almond-chocolate cookies" to greet her.
** When he meets her again after her powers are activated, he acts like an excited fanboy.
--->'''Cal:''' So what's your thing? 'Cause I was kinda hoping for wings.
** And in the back half of the second season, his every interaction with Skye is just bumbling awkward joy.
* AffablyEvil: He's kinda... quirky when he's not being murderously psychotic. He refers to HYDRA's attempts to understand the Diviner as "monkeys scratching at it," mocks Whitehall's translation of an ancient legend concerning it, and scoffs at referring to it as a

-->'''Triplett:''' That guy was out of his damn mind.
* BackAlleyDoctor: Patches up bullet and knife wounds for gang members... for a while, anyway.
* BadassBookworm: A doctor who easily defeats two HYDRA {{mooks}} with just a scalpel and a metal box he's carrying.
* BadBoss: Treats Raina like dirt, even though she helped him reunite him with Skye. He then throws her to the curb after he's done with her.
* BerserkButton: Oh, boy, does he have a few...
** Loses it when Raina compares him to Whitehall, seeing Whitehall killed his wife to take her agelessness.
** Bringing up his evil side seems to have a similar effect.
** Referring to his daughter as "Skye" too much isn't a good idea either. It produces more violent results when Lincoln does it.

** Anyone but himself taking a fatherly role for Skye also sets him off.
