!!!'''Citizenship:''' British
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/OTFagbenle
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/TomokazuSeki (Japanese dub)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{Black Widow|2021}}'' | ''Series/{{Secret Invasion|2023}}''

A former agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and ally of Natasha Romanoff.

* AdvertisedExtra: Despite getting his own character poster, Mason only shows up in a few short scenes of ''Black Widow''.
* TheBusCameBack: When he reappears in ''Secret Invasion'' to support Nick Fury, after most of a decade in-universe since the events of ''Black Widow'' (as well as the concurrent ''[[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar Civil War]]'').
* TheFixer: Introduced having brought Natasha supplies and a set of fake [=ID=]s. He later appears in ''Series/{{Secret Invasion|2023}}'' to lend Fury an airplane to Finland.
* RaceLift: In the comic books, Rick Mason is Caucasian, whereas the MCU version is black.
* RedHerring: Before ''Black Widow'''s release, some fans theorized that he was the true identity of Taskmaster, which was backed up by a number of the few scenes Rick appeared in. [[spoiler:Turns out, they were wrong, as Taskmaster turns out to [[SamusIsAGirl actually be a woman]].]]
* TwoFirstNames: "Rick" and "Mason" are both popular given names.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: In the comics, Rick Mason is the son of Phineas Mason aka the Tinkerer. No evidence of that is present here, and indeed, given Rick's RaceLift and the fact that their actors are of similar ages, it's probably not the case.

-->''"S.H.I.E.L.D.? S.H.I.E.L.D. is just as guilty of the same thing, experimentation without thought of consequence! Your search for an unlimited power source brought an alien invasion."''

A brilliant S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist who theorized on the existence of gravity manipulating element called Gravitonium, and who further invented a means of controlling it. When said element is discovered, he is kidnapped by an old colleague of his named Ian Quinn, who wants him to finish his research.

* AndIMustScream: He's trapped inside the Gravitonium with Ian Quinn.
* TheAtoner: In his youth, he was quite enthusiastic about his research until he realized how if misused or worse, turned into a weapon, it could result in the deaths of millions. As an adult, he's ''very'' unwilling to continue work on it.
* BaldOfEvil: Or rather, Bald of Extremism.
* TheBusCameBack: He's absent for ''four seasons'' after his appearance, doubly impactful because he appeared in the ''third episode'', the ending of which established a cliffhanger.He ''finally'' comes back in Season 5, but doesn't become Graviton as many expected, instead, he becomes a GreaterScopeVillain for the person who does -- namely, Glenn Talbot.
* CompositeCharacter: InUniverse. He was absorbed by the gravitonium, then in an act of vengeance, he compelled the gravitonium to absorb Ian Quinn as well, as a result anyone who subsequently absorbs the gravitonium ends up absorbing their minds, including General Talbot, who became Graviton, Hall's identity in the comics.
* DecompositeCharacter: Unlike in the comics, he does not become Graviton; rather, it is General Talbot who takes the role. Although Hall is still a part of it (see CompositeCharacter above).
* FakeDefector: Pretends to go along with Quinn's scheme in order to sabotage the project and keep the device out of the wrong hands for good.
* KidnappedScientist: Exploited. He pulled the strings of his own kidnapping in order to ruin his kidnapper's plans, but said kidnapper isn't aware of this.
* MentorArchetype: He was [=FitzSimmons's=] favourite professor at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Hall claims S.H.I.E.L.D. is this to people like Quinn - and that their desire to control things led to the events of ''The Avengers''. Coulson ultimately realizes that he and Hall are similar as well, and that they both make tough calls to protect people just before he seemingly kills Hall to save innocent lives.
* StartOfDarkness: In the comics, he becomes a gravity-manipulating supervillain named Graviton after a lab accident. And indeed, during the course of the episode, he falls into his device and is absorbed by a bubble of gravity manipulating matter... and is then seen at the end trying to claw his way out from the inside, complete with ScareChord.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Was willing to cause the deaths of quite a lot of people in order to destroy the device and prevent it from ever being used to hurt anyone. Coulson agrees that he has a point and that he made a tough call, but doesn't let him go through with it.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Ian Quinn escaped with the Gravitonium, presumably with Hall still trapped inside, in the first season finale, and neither have been seen since. It was probably the biggest open plot thread on the show, until the Gravitonium resurfaced in the fifth season to be used as AppliedPhlebotinum in an effort to seal the "fear dimension" rift opened by the destruction of the three Monoliths. Still, there has been no sign of [[ChekhovsGunman Dr. Hall]], at least so far. It turns out that his consciousness is trapped inside the Gravitonium, and he seems to be able to direct it somehow, at least against Ian Quinn.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Is well aware that his research could and is going to be used to harm people, and is forced to accept the fact that if he doesn't do something about it, the world may very well be worse off for his contribution. And so he decides to destroy the device by causing it to go haywire, obliterating a wide area, sacrificing himself and causing the deaths of many innocent people in order to make sure this doesn't happen.
