| 24 | !!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' |
| 25 | |
| 26 | A prison colony for what remains of humanity, ruled by the Kree in a future in which Earth has been destroyed. |
| 27 | ---- |
| 28 | * AlternateTimeline: Team Coulson was able to avert the destruction of Earth, placing the BadFuture firmly in an alternate timeline. |
| 29 | * BadFuture: The Earth has been cracked in half, the remnants of humanity are enslaved by [[AliensAreBastards the Kree]], the surface of Earth is a barren wasteland where gravity storms pluck unsuspecting victims into space, dangerous Vrellnexians prowl the upper levels of the Lighthouse, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and there are no tacos]]. |
| 30 | * BlackSite: An abandoned ElaborateUndergroundBase whose origins are [[RunningGag "Unknown"]] even to Enoch, who has lived on and observed Earth for 30,000 years and seems familiar with other black sites. Turns out it was an old Cold War era S.H.I.E.L.D. apocalypse bunker (hence it surviving the apocalypse) that was so secret not even modern-day S.H.I.E.L.D. knew about it. |
| 31 | * DeathWorld: The surface of the Earth's remains is this, barely retaining enough oxygen to breathe, but otherwise barren, ravaged by gravity storms, and infested by ravenous insectoid aliens. Fitz and Simmons spitball that a surplus of Gravitonium is the only thing that kept the planet remotely intact, and in turn causes the gravity storms. |
| 32 | * ElaborateUndergroundBase: What the Lighthouse was, before the destruction of Earth. |
| 33 | * FantasticCasteSystem: Some humans, chosen for their beauty, are taken to the lower levels of the Lighthouse to serve as personal servitors to Kasius. |
| 34 | * FutureImperfect: The Kree have destroyed most of Earth's historical records, and what is left is so confused that people actually think that [[Film/{{Sharknado}} sharknadoes]] were an actual event. |
| 35 | * InternalRetcon: The Kree erased all historical records to keep humanity from understanding what happened to their world, and killed all those that had any knowledge of it. |
| 36 | * LighthousePoint: It gets its name from the lighthouse that stood on top of it, on the shores of Lake Ontario. |
| 37 | * ThePurge: The Kree regularly hold "renewals", wherein humans with low earnings are marked, either to be killed or to kill others, until a quota is reached. They also purged all "Elders" - humans with knowledge of history. |
| 38 | * SlaveRace: The remaining humanity have been reduced to either mining iron or becoming exotic commodities under the "protection" of the Kree. |
| 39 | * SpaceStation: Despite originally being an underground installation on an intact Earth, it now "hangs" on the edge of the shattered planet's remains, giving it this appearance. Team Coulson originally thought it was built into an asteroid. |
| 40 | * StableTimeLoop: Turns out that this future seems to have been created after Team Coulson goes back in time from the future and in trying to prevent it ends up causing it. Both Fitz and the future version of Yo-Yo have come to this conclusion. Ultimately subverted, as Team Coulson is able to break the loop. |
| 41 | * ThroughHisStomach: According to Deke, if you want to let someone know you're interested in them romantically, you save up on tokens, buy them a fresh lemon, and leave it in their bunk. |

| 53 | ->''"A life spent. A life earned."'' |
| 54 | |
| 55 | A Kree noble of House Kasius who is overseer of the Lighthouse. |
| 56 | ---- |
| 57 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: He has blue skin like the rest of the Kree, only his face is mostly covered with a white powder akin to makeup. |
| 58 | * ArcVillain: Of the first half of Season 5, as the leader of the Kree who rule over the surviving humans in the Lighthouse. |
| 59 | * BerserkButton: [[spoiler:Kasius endures all of his brother's taunting, but when Faulnak tries to take Sinara from him, he furiously stabs him in the back.]] |
| 60 | * TheBerserker: [[spoiler:After ingesting the Odium, he goes on a screaming rampage and shrugs off shotgun shells.]] |
| 61 | * BigBadWannabe: While he definitely checks off all of the usual boxes for a despot, the fact is he's a ''very'' small fish in Confederacy alone, and deep down even he knows that. The entire reason why he's been "appointed" the Lighthouse is because he botched an earlier military operation and he's desperate to get in his father's good graces. And even on that front, he is pointlessly cruel, narcissistic and almost breathtakingly incompetent at the entire operation. The ''only'' reason why he lasted as long as he did was because Coulson's team were strangers in a strange land with no resources, and no real weaponry in sight. And once they ''did'' find the means to fight back, his operation fell apart almost instantly. Hell, his owner brother said it best: |
| 62 | -->'''''Faulnak:''' So, the Destroyer of Worlds has escaped, willingly makes for your land of exile, where apparently, others have survived. Your incompetence is almost admirably astounding.'' |
| 63 | * CanonForeigner: There's no Kasius in the comic books. |
| 64 | * DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:Is killed from behind with Mack's shotgun axe, similar to how he killed Faulnak with a bayonet. Furthermore, Mack was able to finish him off because Simmons distracted him and shoved a bug in his ear like the one he had used on her.]] |
| 65 | * DirtyCoward: [[spoiler: From his father's point of view -- he ran from a battle after it became clear that he could not win. It is Kree culture to always make a LastStand.]] |
| 66 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: He's the main antagonist of the first half of the season as the ruler of the remnants of the human race, but given S.H.I.E.L.D.'s goal of stopping the apocalypse in the present he never stood a chance of being the BigBad. |
| 67 | * EmbodimentOfVice: Vanity. While the rest of his family are {{Blood Knight}}s, Kasius is a preening SissyVillain who would rather bask in luxury than seek a Warrior's death. He obsesses over physical appearance -- both himself and from his personal slaves -- and will not hesitate to kill any of those below him who hold any imperfections, having Sinara kill one of his slaves over a facial wound he got by accident as an EstablishingCharacterMoment. [[spoiler:When he suffers a SanitySlippage, he tries [[AGodAmI reinforcing himself as a god to the humans under his thrall]] by way of torture and death, and kills a Kree doctor for not resurrecting a dead Sinara (something that is impossible even for Kree science). Even his intent to destroy the Lighthouse and kill everyone in it the moment he has the opportunity to leave is born not out of any form of PragmaticVillainy, but out of a desire to "wipe the slate clean" on a shameful period in his life.]] |
| 68 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Kasius is confident enough that HumansAreBastards and will always turn on each other for the sake of self-preservation. [[spoiler:He fails to realize that TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople, and Team S.H.I.E.L.D. uses that against him.]] |
| 69 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:It's all but stated that he has romantic feelings for Sinara, and after she is killed, he snaps from grief. Furthermore, he still seeks his father's approval, even after believing that his father tried to have him killed.]] |
| 70 | * TheExile: [[spoiler:Kasius is exiled by his father for fleeing from a military battle. His Inhuman weapon trade is an effort to mend fences with him.]] |
| 71 | * FauxAffablyEvil: His manners and delusions of philosophy mask a vicious, cruel and vindictive temper. |
| 72 | * GeneralFailure: [[spoiler: He's a pariah in his family for losing a fleet. According to him, his father put him in head of a military command without bothering to properly train him to be an officer or a warrior. He comes to believe his father wanted to [[OffingTheOffspring get rid of him]].]] |
| 73 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Kasius's fate, courtesy of Mack's shotgun axe.]] |
| 74 | * InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: A bit of a dandy who has aesthetic tastes and admires Earth weapons for their craftsmanship, ''not'' their lethality, which makes him the black sheep of his ProudWarriorRaceGuy family. |
| 75 | * {{Leitmotif}}: A rather soft and creepy piano tune that plays in most of his scenes. |
| 76 | * LastVillainStand: [[spoiler: Even after S.H.I.E.L.D. takes away everything that he has, he consumes the Odium to fight Mack himself.]] |
| 77 | * MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight: Once he understands [[spoiler:all his allies are dead and he has no way to enslave the Lighthouse humans, he attempts to take Team Coulson with him to keep them from returning to their time so his father will be able to conquer Earth.]] |
| 78 | * MeaningfulName: Kasius shares his name with his House, implying that he was named after someone important in his family history, likely its founder, and that his father had high hopes for him, emphasizing how much of a disappointment he is to him. |
| 79 | * {{Narcissist}}: Kasius is obsessed with beauty, both in himself and in his slaves. |
| 80 | * NonActionBigBad: He's simply not a warrior type. [[spoiler: {{Subverted}} in the arc's finale, when he takes the Odium himself and gives Mack one ''hell'' of a fight.]] |
| 81 | * NormalFishInATinyPond: To humans, he's their untouchable EvilOverlord. To the rest of the Kree and his other alien guests, he's something of a joke. |
| 82 | * ReassignedToAntarctica: Being the BlackSheep, he's been shuffled off to a [[InsignificantLittleBluePlanet galactic backwater]] to oversee the remnants of humanity so as not to disgrace his family any further. |
| 83 | * SharpDressedMan: Unlike most of the Kree in the Lighthouse, he wears a nice suit with intricate patterns. |
| 84 | * SlashedThroat: [[spoiler: Subverted. Jemma slashes Kasius' cheek in "Fun & Games" and it leaves a scar.]] |
| 85 | * TheSociopath: Has no qualms about killing a slave for getting a minor but noticeable cut. He also [[spoiler:plans on destroying the Lighthouse and all the humans in it after he amasses enough wealth to leave.]] |
| 86 | * TheUnfavorite: Turns out his brother runs the family empire on behalf of their father while he's in charge of nothing more than a backwater. [[spoiler: If Kasius is to be believed, his father tried to have him killed by sending him on a suicidal military mission.]] |
| 87 | * VillainousBreakdown: With elements of DespairEventHorizon. [[spoiler:Losing his ability to breed more Inhumans started him on the path toward a breakdown, but finding Sinara dead on the ''Zephyr One'' caused him to lose all hope, talking to Sinara's corpse like she's still alive and demanding his doctor resurrect her like they do Inhumans (and killing the doctor when he points out that this is impossible). To the point that he drinks the Odium, a PsychoSerum that will turn a Kree into a berserker but will eventually kill him regardless of the outcome of fighting Team Coulson.]] |
| 88 | * WellDoneSonGuy: Despite his belief that [[spoiler:his father sent him on a suicide mission]], Kasius desperately wants his father's approval. |
| 89 | * WickedCultured: He spends his time in his suite tending his plants and admiring beauty. |

| 126 | * BigBadWannabe: It seems like he's about to usurp control of the Lighthouse from his brother, [[spoiler: only for Kasius to kill him in his second appearance when he tries to recruit Sinara to his army.]] |
| 127 | * BigBrotherBully: To Kasius, as it's readily made clear how intimidated Faulnak makes him feel in their conversations, and Faulnak's subtle threat of showing him the many forms his anger takes implies that he physically beat Kasius in the past. |
| 128 | * CloseRangeCombatant: He prefers blades over firearms, saying that he enjoys feeling the splash of blood on his body. |
| 129 | * DarkIsEvil: He wears dark clothing and black facial paint around his eyes, and he's proven to be much ''worse'' than his brother. |
| 130 | * HatesSmallTalk: He's always blunt and straight to the point. |
| 131 | * HotBlooded: A villainous example, and he's quite proud of it. |
| 132 | * NoSympathy: Doesn't give a rat's ass about his younger brother's justified explanation of why he retreated from his post rather than fight to the bitter end along with the possibility of their father placing him in the role of commander without any training as part of UriahGambit, only calling Kasius out for making "excuses". |

| 298 | * BrokenBird: [[spoiler:Future Yo-Yo, as a a result of watching Mack die, being constantly killed and revived by the Kree and the knowledge of being trapped in a Stable Time Loop in which she meets her past self, she has little hope and less of her usual spunk.]] |

| 302 | * OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:Going by Cordova-Buckley's birth year (1982), Elena is over a hundred years old by this point, and still looks as if she's in her thirties. This is attributed to Kasius killing and resurrecting her as needed.]] |

| 315 | |
| 316 | Remnants of [[Characters/MCUSHIELDTeamCoulson Team Coulson]] after the Earth is cracked apart in the alternate timeline. |
| 317 | ---- |
| 318 | * BreakingTheFellowship: By the time we see them, Mack and Daisy are dead and Coulson is implied to have died as well for reasons unclear, despite Elena stating that the team made the choice to save him.[[note]]The last dose of Centipede Serum seems to have been the focal point of the timeline change, since Daisy uses it against Graviton at the end of the season to save the Earth, but Coulson's death implies that he didn't take the serum either.[[/note]] Elena eventually decides to go down swinging against the Kree, leaving May, Fitz and Simmons, and Fitz entirely abandons their goal of changing the timeline when Robin's visions of Jemma's death reinforce his belief that YouCantFightFate. |
| 319 | * DespairEventHorizon: Fitz crossed it when [[InnocentlyInsensitive young Robin]] described Jemma's death. He loses any and all hope of fixing the situation and rips down the blueprints he made for a time machine, all the while ranting about how time cannot be changed. |
| 320 | * HappilyMarried: Fitz and Simmons grow old together as Deke's Bobo and Nana in this timeline after [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS5E12TheRealDeal being married prior to Earth's destruction]]. |
| 321 | * HeroWithBadPublicity: Daisy gets this bad, as she is widely blamed for Graviton cracking the Earth apart using her powers after assimilating her during the battle in Chicago in this timeline. Even Fitz believes that she's responsible, as indicated by his conversation with May about the StableTimeLoop. |
| 322 | * KilledOffscreen: Mack is strongly implied to have died saving Polly in Chicago, and Daisy was assimilated by Graviton, who himself then dies after destroying the Earth. Coulson is conspicuously absent, implying he suffered this fate as well, and this happens to Elena any number of times (courtesy of GH-325, or the Kree approximation of it) after she goes off to fight the Kree on her own. May, Fitz and Simmons each pass, presumably from old age, by 2091. |
| 323 | * MyGreatestSecondChance: May took the chance to be a mother to Robin after giving up any pretensions of motherhood after [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS2E17Melinda the disastrous Bahrain incident]]. |
| 324 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: |
| 325 | ** "The Last Day" reveals that the ElaborateUndergroundBase was refitted by May, Yo-Yo, Fitz, and Simmons, who were eventually forced to collaborate with the Kree to ensure humanity's survival, despite knowing from their past experiences in 2091 that this leads to the sorry state of humanity. Their other option was for humanity to go extinct about 70 years ahead of their arrival, so they didn't have much of a choice. |
| 326 | ** More of a "Nice Job Breaking It, WellIntentionedExtremist", but Hale's attempt to stop the Kree is what caused the Earth to be destroyed, which led to the above happening. |
| 327 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Despite already crossing DespairEventHorizon, they still managed to be GoodParents to their respective daughters (May to Robin, Fitz and Simmons to their daughter). Deke mentions many times that his mother always remembered fondly of her parents. |
| 328 | * ParentalSubstitute: May becomes this to Robin, after her real mother was lost during the calamity. Robin even calls her "Mom". |
| 329 | * PosthumousCharacter: They're no longer alive by the time their main timeline counterparts arrive in their timeline. |
| 330 | * SecretIdentity: At one point, Fitz and Jemma had to change their names due to the Kree attempting to suppress human history. Their grandson only knew them as Bobo and Nana, respectively. |
| 331 | * StableTimeLoop: These variants of Team Coulson (or at least, its survivors) grow old during the BadFuture, ultimately setting the stage for their younger selves' arrival in 2091. |
| 332 | * TeamMom: Besides being an actual mom by adoption, May also tried her best to keep Fitz, Jemma, and Elena to stay calm in their situations. It doesn't work much, since Elena and Fitz already crossed the DespairEventHorizon. |
| 333 | * YouCantFightFate: Fitz was always a firm believer in this, but the destruction of Earth and Robin's visions of Jemma's death only reinforce his belief. Elena agrees, similarly pushed over the edge by Mack's death. |

| 345 | ---- |
| 346 | * AntiVillain: Despite not being the most moral person, he does what he does essentially to survive and to keep the Kree off everybody's back. He is also rather fair to his subjects when they are in legitimate trouble. {{Subverted}} later on however, as he is shown to be greedy above anything else. |
| 347 | * AssholeVictim: He was not a nice dude, and he ''was'' threatening to shoot Flint when the young Inhuman crushed him under a giant boulder. |
| 348 | * BadBoss: Will often activate metrics to punish "slow" workers or kill those who he doesn't like. |
| 349 | * FatBastard: Rather overweight, and most definitely not a pleasant person. |
| 350 | * LoanShark: His entire business seems to consist in lending money to people so he can then harass them into paying him back. |
| 351 | * KickTheDog: He leaves Coulson, Mack, and Yo-yo out as bait for one of his disgruntled customers during ThePurge. |
| 352 | * PetTheDog: Was shown to care about Flint at least a little, and would help take care of him, within limits ("No charity today, kid."). Still didn't stop him from threatening to turn him and Team Coulson in, or turn a gun on him, to satisfy his own greed. |

| 384 | ---- |
| 385 | * TheExile: He and many other True Believers were exiled to the surface by the Kree for spreading the prophecy of the Agents arriving to save them. |
| 386 | * KarmaHoudini: He's allowed to flee the gravity storm with the rest of his crew despite killing Robin and attempting to kill Daisy, and is not seen afterwards. |
| 387 | * TheLeader: He appears to be the guy in charge of the surviving True Believers on Earth because they all follow his lead. |
| 388 | * SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: He tries to do this by killing Daisy, since she has yet to cause the destruction of Earth and won't be able to if she's dead. When that falls through, he settles for stabbing Robin to keep her from telling them how to return home. No luck there, either, as she tells May with her dying breath. |
| 389 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: He wants to kill Daisy to prevent the BadFuture, but he doesn't try to kill anyone else on the team, either locking them away from the fighting or offering mercy so long as the rest of Team Coulson doesn't interfere. When he does kill Robin, it's also out of necessity to keep her from telling how to return to the past. |

| 405 | * KilledMidSentence: First, Mack knocks him out while Coulson's trying to get answers out of him. Then, when he comes to and Coulson's trying to get answers, a Vrellnexian splits his head open from behind and yanks him into the shadows. |
| 406 | * TalkingIsAFreeAction: Averted. He's so excited to meet his idols, the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., whom he considers the saviours of humanity, so excited that he's talking in circles while trying to explain where they are now or how he knows them, the latter of which annoys Mack so much.

| 416 | A resident on the Lighthouse and a friend of Virgil and Flint. |
| 417 | ---- |
| 418 | * BackFromTheDead: Tess is sent by Kasius as a messenger, having been revived with Kasius' blood. When she first turns up, she is incredibly pale and ghastly, presumably due to having only just recently been brought back. |
| 419 | * CoolBigSis: She acts as an [[IntergenerationalFriendship older friend]] and mentor to the teenage Flint. |
| 420 | * DeathByOriginStory: Her death initially seems to be this for Flint's origin story; however, this is ultimately [[PlayingWithATrope played with]] when she ends up being resurrected. |
| 421 | * DecoyProtagonist: Or more accurately Decoy Deuteragonist; earlier episodes have her be in the secret about Team Coulson, making you think she will play a big role. She gets killed in her third appearance -- but then is subsequently resurrected. |
| 422 | * KilledOffscreen: Is only seen as a hanging corpse after her execution. Inverted when she is later resurrected off-screen by the Kree. |
| 423 | * MakeAnExampleOfThem: Tess is killed by the Kree Vicar and then left as a hanging corpse as a warning to those who hid Flint. |
| 424 | * ShootTheDog: She believes that [[{{Jerkass}} Zev]] needs to be killed so that he doesn't inform on Team Coulson to Grill, which would doom them all. The agents are against that, though ultimately Elena goes through with it anyway. |
| 425 | * ShrinkingViolet: After her resurrection, she is a ''lot'' more timid because of her absolute terror of the Kree. Flint helps her gradually work her way out of it. |

| 432 | !!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/CoyStewart |
| 433 | !!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' |
| 434 | |
| 435 | A young Inhuman who develops the power to manipulate and control earth and rock. |
| 436 | ---- |
| 437 | * AdaptationalBadass: Zig-zagged; in the comics, Flint's control over rock was proportional to how large it was, he could barely keep a grip on a pebble but could push himself to move ''Pluto'' out of orbit. Here, he can sense and reconstruct a Monolith on the molecular level from surrounding rock, and is strongly believed to have the potential to eventually reconstruct the shattered Earth. |
| 438 | * AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, Flint is his codename while his birth name is Jaycen. |
| 439 | * AgeLift: In the comics, Flint is a present-day character; here, he's from about 70 years in the future. |
| 440 | * TheBusCameBack: The BadFuture that Flint lives in was averted at the end of season 5, but near the end of season 6, the energy from the Monoliths of Space, Time and Creation brings a copy of him into the present day as a result of Mack and Yo-Yo’s subconscious fears about Izel recreating the physical monoliths. |
| 441 | * ChekhovsGunman: Despite his relatively limited screen time, he's one of the most important characters introduced in season 5, and plays a crucial role in every season until the end: |
| 442 | ** In Season 5, his abilities are what allows the reconstruction of the Time monolith that lets the team get back to their original timeline and avert the BadFuture. |
| 443 | ** In Season 6, Mack and Yo-Yo's fears of his abilities allow Izel to create a perfect replica of him using the Creation monolith, so that he may merge the monoliths and open the gate to her dimension. While he ''does'' do so as Mack and Yo-Yo were being threatened, not long after he rebels against Izel and suffers a serious injury to the leg as a result. |
| 444 | ** In Season 7, [[spoiler:he's instrumental in Fitz's time-travel [[BatmanGambit gambit]], as his recreation of the Time monolith allows Fitz to establish a StableTimeLoop between the monolith and the Quantum Realm.]] |
| 445 | * ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: An InvertedTrope - in the comics, his real name is Jaycen, with Flint being a codename; here, ''Flint'' is his real name. "Pebbles" is more of a nickname that only Mack uses. |
| 446 | * DishingOutDirt: His power allows him to control dirt and rocks. |
| 447 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: After all of the horrible shit he went through, Flint - or at least a flawless copy of him - is finally allowed to live a ([[WorldOfWeirdness relatively]]) normal life in modern day as a young S.H.I.E.L.D. recruit under the tutelage of Melinda May. |
| 448 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: After a copy of him is created by Monolith energy in the endgame of season 6, he hasn’t seen Mack, Yo-Yo, or any of the other agents in over a year and has missed quite a few changes, like Yo-Yo [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS5E11AllTheComfortsOfHome getting]] [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS5E16InsideVoices robot arms]] and Deke getting sent back in time to before the EarthShatteringKaboom, then after bringing him onto the Zephyr One, he expresses amazement at the aircraft and the existence of an “outside” similarly to how Deke did. |
| 449 | * {{Leitmotif}}: A cute whistle melody for a plucky kid with an open heart. |
| 450 | * LikeASonToMe: To Mack and Elena, as described by their actors. |
| 451 | * MeaningfulName: Flint is a type of sedimentary rock. |
