History Characters / MCUHYDRAOperatives

* AdaptationalBadass / AscendedExtra: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. In the comics, he doesn't last long after killing Erskine before he is killed by Steve. In the movie, he manages to get awaywith a sample of the serum before he is captured by Steve.

* OnlyOneName: Grant Ward calls him "Carmine" at one point, but his last name is never used.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Even though he's a very minor character who only makes a brief appearance during a flashback, he is the one who made Wanda come into contact with the Mind Stone. Without him, Wanda wouldn't be anywhere near as powerful as she is now, so most of the events of ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' and ''Series/WandaVision'' probably wouldn't have happened.

!!!'''Species:''' Enhanced human

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Pascale Armand
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' (appears in ''[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E4EyeSpy Episode 4: "Eye Spy"]]'')

A former S.H.I.E.L.D agent who disappeared for years and was presumed dead. Shows up and starts stealing diamonds, which leads Coulson to her.

* AlliterativeName: '''A'''kela '''A'''mador.
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: Ultimately subverted; Ward's belief that she sold out her fellow agents turns out to be false (the op just went bad) and she isn't willingly working for her episode's villain. Given that Ward is an ''actual'' agent working for the episode's ultimate villain (the Clairvoyant), it's highly likely he wanted to get rid of a loose thread while breaking down S.H.I.E.L.D.'s loyal members.
* CombatPragmatist: When it becomes clear that Melinda is the superior hand-to-hand combatant, Akela knocks out the lights, switches to her x-ray vision, then tries to shoot her.
* DarkActionGirl: An assassin, thief, misc. dirty worker for an unknown organization. Though the "Dark" part was against her will.
* ExplosiveLeash: Her x-ray eye can be detonated if she disobeys orders.
* IneffectualLoner: Coulson states that she never trusted her fellow agents and always preferred working alone. This is why the op went bad, her fellows died, and she was captured.
* ItsAllMyFault: She blames herself for the op going bad seven years ago and thus the death of the people she worked with.
* TheStoic: Undergoes surgery on her cybernetic eye while awake without a single sign of worry.
* TrappedInVillainy: Akela initially tried to ignore her handler's orders; he responded with remote electric torture. And then there's the kill switch.
* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: She is not seen in Season One after her first episode, not even when Garrett and Ward release every prisoner from The Fridge.
* XRayVision: Thanks to a cybernetic eye. When closed, it switches over from normal vision.

!!''The Englishman''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/englishman.png]]

!!!'''Citizenship:''' British
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Dominic Burgess

->'''Akela Amador:''' Only contacts are the messages I receive from the Englishman.\\
'''Phil Coulson:''' "The Englishman"? Your handler? How do you know he's English?\\
'''Akela Amador:''' The way he refers to certain things. He uses "lift" instead of "elevator", "boot" instead of "trunk".

Akela Amador's handler. She knows nothing about him other than what little she has been able to glean from his typing patterns.

* CharacterDeath: As soon as he looks at Coulson's S.H.I.E.L.D. badge, his ExplosiveLeash eye implant activates, killing him.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Just like Akela, he was being monitored and controlled through an eye implant by another unidentified party. A later episode shows that he's being controlled by the Clairvoyant. In other words, he was the man behind Akela but there was another man behind him.
* NoNameGiven: He's only ever called "The Englishman" and we never learn his name during the episode.
* PleaseSelectNewCityName: He once writes "Burma" instead of "Myanmar", which allows Akela to accurately guess his age.
* RaceNameBasis: He's simply known as The Englishman.
* SeparatedByACommonLanguage: Akela calls him "The Englishman" because his messages use British English instead of American English. For instance, he'll write "lift" instead of "elevator".
* TrappedInVillainy: Like Akela, he was captured and forced by the Centipede Group to work for them via their ExplosiveLeash ocular implant.

->'''Kaminsky:''' ''[doing salute]'' Hail HYDRA!\\
'''John Garrett:''' Alright, alright. Put your arms down, Kaminsky. You look like a West Texas cheerleader at a pep rally.

An agent working for the Clairvoyant of his own free will.

* BlackShirt: He's pretty enthusiastically on board with this whole taking-over-the-world thing. [[PlayedForLaughs Maybe a little too much]], to the embarrassment of Garrett.
* CurbStompBattle: He's taken out by May almost immediately even though he's armed with the Berserker Staff.
* MookLieutenant: He's the guy the Clairvoyant leaves in charge of ambushing Coulson's team at the HYDRA base under the Havana barber shop.
* SignificantNameOverlap: There was a "Kaminsky, Henry" trying to enlist in the military at the same recruiting office as Steve Rogers in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger''. Mix in a little OneSteveLimit and some saddening possibilities emerge.

* ConservationOfNinjutsu: A single Winter Soldier is able to beat Bucky, but when everyone goes berserk, Bucky is able to fight his way through several with no problem.

* RapidFireFisticuffs: One of the Winter Soldiers kills a guard trying to subdue him by punching him very hard, very quickly.

* TheWorfEffect: Just to show off how powerful these guys are, we see one of them completely outclass the original Winter Soldier in hand-to-hand combat before throwing Bucky across the room with ease.

* RichIdiotWithNoDayJob: Until Ward came along, he just loafed around spending his father's money, but finds his inner strength while getting tortured.

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Considering Ward and his HYDRA cell's status as BigBadWannabe, Kebo surprisingly manages to pose a serious threat to Bobbi.

** He "frees" Hall from S.H.I.E.L.D. by tracking down and kidnapping him, then putting him to work deep inside said base (and gives an emotionally manipulative speech to Skye while talking about how S.H.I.E.L.D. use such methods to recruit people like her).

* KickTheDog: In episode 13 when he shoots Skye.

* OddCouple: His libertarian views would seem to put him at odds with HYDRA, but given the many {{Hypocrite}} examples above, and the fact that he's meant to be a StrawmanPolitical it's not as odd as it appears.

* ShadowArchetype: He's basically [[Film/IronMan Tony Stark]] with more {{Jerkass}}ery, less [[GadgeteerGenius genius]], and zero morals. He's also one for Skye, or at least Skye as she was at the very beginning of the series, when she was a hacker who was anti-S.H.I.E.L.D.because [[BigBrotherIsWatching they are the big brother who is watching]]; he neither one of them likes S.H.I.E.L.D. but Quinn is the kind of guy that S.H.I.E.L.D. is supposed to stop.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Subverted. The Clairvoyant cuts him loose after he's served his purpose in revealing how Coulson was brought back to life, leaving him at the mercy of some very angry agents. Even better, it turns out the person telling him this was the Clairvoyant himself. But he's broken out when HYDRA raids the Fridge, and Garrett even gives him the gravitonium Coulson's team took from his facility in their first meeting.

* NamesTheSame: InUniverse: There was a "Kaminsky, Henry" trying to enlist in the military at the same recruiting office as Steve Rogers in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger''. Mix in a little OneSteveLimit and some saddening possibilities emerge.

* HotScientist: Is a MadScientist who as Skye notes also happens to be quite good looking.

* WeaponOfChoice: A Walther [=P38=] semi-automatic pistol.

* WeaponOfChoice: He and his S.T.R.I.K.E. team carry electrified shock batons that are powerful enough to knock-out a mercenary with a single touch and hurt Rogers.

!!!'''Voiced By:''' Enrique Cervantes (Latin-American Spanish dub)

* ILoveNuclearPower: It's theorized his powers come from living near a nuclear plant that caught fire. However, it's noted that no one else in the vicinity received powers of any sort, so in the end the source is unknown.

* KnifeNut: He whips one out and... used it to cut Benny and Claire's bonds.

* KnifeNut: He has a wicked looking combat knife, as well as a knife-and-chain weapon.

* OutsideRide: After capturing him, Grant Ward puts Carmine on the hood of his own car and drives at full speed through his warehouse base to force him to talk.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's unknown what happened to him after he revealed Werner von Strucker's whereabouts. Grant Ward presumably either killed him, recruited him or let him go.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Invoked. Grant Ward threatens him by demanding him to prove that he still has a purpose, with the implication that he will be killed if that is not the case.

A former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent now brainwashed into serving HYDRA.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Her comics counterpart is a blonde.
* AlasPoorVillain: An honest S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, brainwashed by HYDRA, manipulated by Ward into his loyal aide and lover, then killed by Ward when he mistakes her for May, leaving [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Ward grieving over her dead body.]]
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Becomes this after being brainwashed into a HYDRA agent.
* BirdsOfAFeather: She and Ward are both very damaged people who (unlike Ward and Skye) more genuinely understand one another and can support each other emotionally. This leads to them developing a relationship.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Her entire introductory episode is spent getting conditioned by Whitehall, finally succumbing at the end.
* DarkActionGirl: After successfully being brainwashed, she uses her secret agents skills for HYDRA.
* DesignatedGirlFight: Her most prominent on-screen fights have been with May, Skye and Bobbi. This is especially obvious since every other ActionGirl in the series, including the three she's fought, have all proven to be more than a match for the men, including [[DarkActionGirl Dark Action Girls]] like her who fight male heroes.
* DiscardAndDraw: The mask fused over her face has enough memory for three different faces. To mimic a new one, she must delete an old one.
* TheDragon: Becomes a replacement lieutenant for Whitehall after Bakshi is captured by S.H.I.E.L.D.. In the latter half of Season 2, becomes this to Grant Ward.
* ElectronicSpeechImpediment: One symptom of having her mask fused to her face.
* EvilCounterpart:
** To May, after using a hologram mask to impersonate her and getting stuck that way.
** She's also a {{Foil}} to May in that her loyalty to Whitehall is unquestioning and compelled by brainwashing, whereas May's loyalty to Coulson is based on a long friendship and history of shared service, and she's never afraid to argue with him. In fact, Coulson sees through Agent 33's impersonation of May in "Face My Enemy" because she is agreeing too readily with his orders to take his place if he goes off the deep end.
* EvilDuo: Became this with Whitehall near the end of the first half of Season 2 after Bakshi's capture. In the latter half of Season 2 becomes this with Grant Ward.
* FacialHorror: Getting a live wire to the face tends to leave scars. The nanomask is fused to her face with a horrific burn in the area the wire destroyed. She eventually gets the mask fixed, but the burn is still there, as shown when she deactivates it.
* HazyFeelTurn: After Whitehall's death, she's left completely lost about what to do next with her life, and teams up with AmbiguouslyEvil Ward simply for a lack of other options.
* LadyAndKnight: She becomes Ward's Bright Lady after he is rejected (read: shot in the back) by Skye. After Whitehall's death she's like a wounded dove that inspires him towards a new purpose; helping her.
* LossOfIdentity: After Whitehall's death, she all but loses herself, but with Ward's help, Kara manages to reclaim her old identity.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Her brainwashing made her an agent of Whitehall, not HYDRA. She is dismayed by his death and doesn't know what to do with herself.
* RaceLift: White in the comics, Hispanic here. Thanks to the mask permanently fused to her face, now appears Asian. Until the mask is repaired, enabling her to resemble her true appearance again even if it can't ever be removed for real.
* RedemptionRejection: She pretends to stay with SHIELD for psychological recovery at Ward's urging, but it's all a ploy to exact vengeance on Bobbi. This bloodlust leads to her own accidental death at Ward's hands.
* SatelliteCharacter: Deconstructed. While her entire life revolves around helping Ward... this is because she is completely, utterly insane, and has lost her own psyche. She also does have her own wants and needs, making it more co-dependence.
* ShapeshifterModeLock: Being electrically shocked while disguised as May fuses the mask to her face, along with giving her a horrible burn on her left eye that makes the disguise useless. She eventually gets it fixed, but the mask is still stuck to her. She can now shift at will, but can only keep three faces in memory. In order to gain any other identities, she has to give one up. However, she can also deactivate the mask and have her original (though still scarred) face. By the time of "The Frenemy of my Enemy", she's able to contact her mother and get a photo of herself pre-scarred, allowing her to have her own face without the damage.
* TragicMonster: As she points out, Whitehall wiped away whoever she was. Essentially, Kara Palamas is dead. She is ''[[TenderTears very]]'' relieved when she is able to reclaim her old name, and as of "The Frenemy of My Enemy" she prefers to be called Kara again. It didn't remove her hatred against Bobbi for her betrayal.
* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: Averted. She had Bobbi at gunpoint, but realizes she's not afraid to die and has no remorse for betraying Kara. Shooting her then and there won't give her closure. So Ward decided to try something else.
* YouAreNumberSix: Initially referred to by her S.H.I.E.L.D. callsign and with no name given. She's eventually revealed to be Kara Palamas, an obscure character from the ''Hercules'' comics.

An introverted genius at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Sci-Tech academy who gets involved in a series of attacks involving devices that are able to freeze people solid.

* AbusiveParents: His parents didn't even realize how smart he was because they ignored him so much. When S.H.I.E.L.D. told his father that Donnie was gifted, his father replied "In what?"
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: He's Inhuman in the comics. Ironically, the Inhumans have yet to be introduced in the series when he appeared.
* AdaptationalHeroism: It's Adaptational Anti-Villainy in his case. He still ends up as a bad guy, but is given a sympathetic backstory. It's also made abundantly clear that he never intended for his actions to hurt anyone, at least at first, and he also never served HYDRA willingly; when he, as Blizzard, is acting of his own free will, it's actually ''against'' HYDRA. The only reason why S.H.I.E.L.D. put him down at the end of "Making Friends and Influencing People" is so HYDRA won't be able to use him again.
* AgeLift: His comics counterpart is an adult criminal-for-hire.
* AntiVillain:
** He wasn't interested in Ian Quinn's money. He was just having fun building something with Seth.
** In his second appearance, he isn't even antagonistic toward S.H.I.E.L.D. at all until Bakshi triggers the mental conditioning HYDRA put him through.
* BerserkButton: Don't even ''pretend'' to be HYDRA.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: He was brainwashed by HYDRA sometime during season 1. His programing is re-activated during "Making Friends and Influencing People".
* TheBusCameBack: He resurfaces in the Season 2 episode "Making Friends and Influencing People".
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Played with. He is never called as Blizzard, his comics counterpart's alias. But the project to analyze his gifted power is indeed called as "Project: Blizzard" at HYDRA.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: While never badass in the "combat-capable" sense, his debut episode makes it clear he has borderline superhuman engineering abilities, rivaling those of Fitz (who is nearly a decade his senior and with more experience). After the accident at the end of his debut episode he gains a TouchOfDeath power via cryokinesis.
* FriendlessBackground: Bonds with Fitz over this and their love of engineering. He had no friends in his hometown, and even at S.H.I.E.L.D Academy, he's a loner.
* GadgeteerGenius: Built devices capable of freezing pools and people solid and causing massive superstorms.
* AnIcePerson: As a result of his ice machine backfiring on him, he gets cryokinetic powers. He also has the technical skill to make weapons which can copy those abilities as well.
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Has trouble interacting with people below a 170 IQ.
* NeverFoundTheBody: According to Skye, his body hasn't been found since she shot him and he fell into the ocean.
* StartOfDarkness: In the comics, he's the supervillain Blizzard and indeed, over the course of the episode, he gets his only friend killed and obtains cryokinetic powers. During his first appearance in season 2, he only uses them in self-defense or to spite HYDRA. His only villainous actions are due to brainwashing.

* BaldOfEvil: Doesn't have any hair, save for his BeardOfEvil.
* BigBadWannabe: On his own he is a dangerous villain, and he is one hell of a dangerous and smart enemy, but he’s in way over his head in comparison to the Clairvoyant.
* CanonForeigner: So far, he doesn't have a comic counterpart.
* CrypticConversation: Raina comes to him to tell him how their latest plan was derailed, and that's the only thing the audience has context for at the time. They then go on to talk about "Phase 2" and "the Clairvoyant."
* DissonantSerenity: Calmly eats his meal while a fight breaks out in front of him.
* TheDragon: The Clairvoyant only allows him to contact him and thus the orders for the organization flow through him. Then the Clairvoyant kills him and gives Raina the position.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: On the receiving end from Raina.
* EyeScream: He was arrested after gouging a man's eyes out with a steak knife. When Raina asks about the Clairvoyant, he warns he'd have to do the same to her if he told her.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Speaks politely and acts like a gentleman when speaking with Raina, he speaks to Coulson about his interests, but when coulson doesn’t cooperate, his tone of voice switches from Gentleman to angry thug and he starts torturing coulson and even Raina is repulsed by his methods.
* HateSink: While Ward, Deathlok and Raina are sympathetic in ways and John Garrett while being pure evil is amusing, Po, along with Ian Quinn have no redeeming qualities and are made for the viewers to hate them.
* JerkAss: Tortures for fun and doesn’t even say thank you when he is freed.
* LackOfEmpathy: He doesn't seem to particularly care that Debbie was killed. He expected her incompetence to off her sooner or later.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Gives off this vibe with his suits and taste for refined food.
* MouthOfSauron: "The Clairvoyant" allows no one else to speak with, see, or contact him. This is enforced on pain of EyeScream.
* ObviouslyEvil: Skye even describes him as a "walking mugshot".
* PetTheDog: Claims to care about Raina (at least, more than he did for Debbie) enough that he tries to dissuade her from learning too much about the Clairvoyant, since [[HeKnowsTooMuch he would have to kill her]], [[HitmanWithAHeart and he'd rather not do that]].
* SignificantAnagram: Swap the first two letters of his first name with his whole last name. You get the word "Poisoned".
* SoftSpokenSadist: Maintains a quiet and calm tone of voice while he tortures Coulson.
* TheStrategist: He has background on tactics, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. team speculates this is his role in the organization.
* Troll: When he is freed from prison, he refuses to go until he is referred to as ‘Sir’
* WeHaveWaysOfMakingYouTalk: Tries torturing Coulson to force him to succumb to his mind probing. It doesn't work. And he's killed for his failure.
* YouHaveFailedMe: A combination of this and YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness after he fails at forcing Coulson to reveal his secrets and the Clairvoyant makes Raina his new MouthOfSauron.

[[folder:Ian Quinn]]
!!''Ian Quinn''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ianquinn.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"I'm now a naturalized citizen of this fair country. Stunning beaches, beautiful tax laws, and a deep-seated hatred of outside forces telling them what to do."'']]

!!!'''Citizenship:''' American
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/DavidConrad
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' (first appears in ''[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E3TheAsset Episode 3: "The Asset"]]'')

An old schoolmate of Franklin Hall, who stole his research and used it to create a multi-billion dollar company, Quinn Worldwide. Upon discovering that Hall's theory of graviton particles is correct, he becomes fixated on controlling this technology before someone else does and kidnaps Hall in order to make that dream a reality. He's also a libertarian opposed to any kind of government control or oversight over private businesses.

* AndIMustScream: His ultimate fate, as revealed in "Inside Voices": he's trapped in the gravitonium.
* BerserkButton: Treating him like an average CorruptCorporateExecutive is a good way to make him lose his cool. Skye, who made that mistake during their first encounter, gets shot for it, though he reveals later that it was under orders as part of a gambit to learn how Coulson was brought back to life.
* CanonForeigner: He doesn't have a comic counterpart.
* CorporateConspiracy: Owner of Quinn Worldwide, Quinn is a visionary philanthropist who spearheads a movement that champions deregulation of government interference with scientific research so that he can get his hands on advanced tech and is allied with the Centipede Group.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Kidnaps people, steals ideas, and, by his own admission, has certain "exploits" he doesn't want Skye leaking through the Rising Tide. As explained below, he prefers to see himself as a visionary. When he thinks Skye is treating him like any other corrupt figure to be exposed, he briefly loses his temper.
* TheCorrupter: Whether deliberately or not, he's so far been responsible for the creation of several supervillains.
** Turning Dr. Hall villainous by kidnapping him for his gravity technology. This sets a chain of events into motion that causes Glenn Talbot to become Graviton much later. It becomes almost literal, as he and Hall end up becoming voices inside Talbot's head telling him that Coulson is the enemy and sending him into madness.
** Turning Donnie Gill into Blizzard by hiring him and then cutting him loose when S.H.I.E.L.D. found out.
** Turning Mike Peterson into Deathlok, through his collaboration with Centipede and Cybertek.
* CradlingYourKill: Does this to Skye after shooting her, only to shoot her a second time mid-cradle.
* DealWithTheDevil: In "Seeds" he acts as the devil to both Donnie Gill and his friend Seth by hiring them to create a weather control device. As is customary, he screws them both over.
* DiplomaticImpunity: Seeks a form of this - a place where no government has the jurisdiction to touch him.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He honestly believes he's advancing humanity, and that anyone slowing down progress (with laws or regulations) is just doing it for greed and lust for power. However, he himself is very greedy, callous towards the lives of his enemies, and is implied to perform ecologically dangerous strip-mining without thought of the consequences. For instance, he fools Donnie and Seth into creating a dangerous weather machine, and now personally knows the Clairvoyant, to which he gloats to Coulson about it. And in the next episode, he casually shoots Skye. Yeah... there's a reason Coulson threatened to kill him.
* HateSink: Similar to Po, he has zero redeeming features and he is made to be hated.
* TheHeavy: Becomes this after Po is killed and Raina is captured because he became the most prominent Centipede member still free. He is captured himself, but is later freed again by Garrett.
* HonestCorporateExecutive: He ''thinks'' he's one of these, because he advocates freedom of information and freedom of enterprise. He also saw his kidnapping of Hall as a rescue from his ''real'' captors (i.e. S.H.I.E.L.D.) so he could complete his life's work. When he assumed Skye thought of him as one more corrupt to expose, he was offended even though there was no one to look good for.
* {{Hypocrite}}: For all his blustering about freedom and accountability, "The Asset" spends quite of time building him up as one;
** He's perfectly happy to use his money to set up shop in Malta surrounded by a small army to make himself unaccountable to anyone (and accuses S.H.I.E.L.D. of avoiding accountability for their actions [[SlaveToPR while banking on it to prevent them from overtly storming the compound]]).
** He "frees" Hall from S.H.I.E.L.D. by tracking down and kidnapping him, then putting him to work deep inside said base (and gives an emotionally manipulative speech to Skye while talking about how S.H.I.E.L.D. use such methods to recruit people like her).
** Hall himself points out that despite his insistence that information should be free for everyone's benefit, he made his fortune by keeping the flow one way. When he catches Skye poking around, he assumes she's investigating him for the Rising Tide and is outraged that she thinks he has something to hide and prepares to call security to have her taken away for poking around.
* IronicHell: Quinn wants his own form of DiplomaticImpunity. He ends up in S.H.I.E.L.D. custody, where, as he wanted, no government can touch him... meaning he has no rights to protect him either. Later, he ends up trapped inside the Gravitonium courtesy of Franklin Hall, meaning that he's now trapped inside the substance he coveted for so long thanks to the person he screwed over to get it.
* JerkAss: Doesn’t care about anyone or anything and is rude to everyone.
* JustThinkOfThePotential: His NewEraSpeech to his investors is full of the wonders his company could achieve with gravitonium (and the ''stupid'' amounts of profit they could make).
* KarmaHoudini: Two episode plots were caused by him and his dirty money. Third time unlucky. As of "T.R.A.C.K.S.", he's imprisoned on The Bus and Team Coulson are furious that he gut shot Skye. Unfortunately, he got broken out of prison by the Clairvoyant himself, John Garrett, and escapes his downfall at the end of the season. When Team Coulson attacks Cybertek, Quinn hightails it out of there with the gravitonium and escapes justice. Although he's PutOnABus for four seasons after this, we finally find out what ''really'' happened to him in Season 5, and this trope ends up {{Subverted}}.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Ian Quinn met his demise a long time ago; in "Inside Voices" it's revealed that shortly after he escaped Cybertek he was absorbed into the Gravitonium courtesy of a vengeful Franklin Hall, who gave it sentience.
* KickTheDog: In episode 13 when he shoots Skye.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm:
** As soon as he realizes what Hall's doing, he gives the order to evacuate immediately.
** Bails early on his investment in the ice machine in "Seeds" as soon as S.H.I.E.L.D. finds out about its existence.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: He's an evil and charismatic mining magnate, so this isn't too surprising. In some respects, he's like an evil Tony Stark (see ShadowArchetype below).
* NewEraSpeech: Gives one to his guests when he introduces gravity control technology.
-->'''Quinn:''' Imagine a world where you don't drill for oil; it rises to meet you.
* OddCouple: His libertarian views would seem to put him at odds with HYDRA, but given the many {{Hypocrite}} examples above, and the fact that he's meant to be a StrawmanPolitical it's not as odd as it appears.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere:
** In "Seeds", he decides to back out of his deal with Donnie and Seth once they realize that S.H.I.E.L.D. has uncovered their plan.
** In "Beginning of the End", he flees with his gravitonium when Team Coulson attacks the Cybertek facility (and also because Garrett has gone crazy). Although as "Inside Voices" shows, he didn't get far.
* SequelNonEntity: When the plot thread of the [[{{Unobtanium}} gravitonium]] finally [[ChekhovsGun resurfaces]] in the fifth season, Quinn is nowhere to be found, and is given a one-off line [[HandWave handwaving]] that Coulson's team was simply never able to find him after he fled with the gravitonium during Garrett's downfall and was PutOnABus. RealLifeWritesThePlot, however, in that David Conrad retired from acting since the conclusion of the first season. "Inside Voices" reveals that he was killed shortly after the first season finale.
* ShadowArchetype: He's basically [[Film/IronMan Tony Stark]] with more {{Jerkass}}ery, less [[GadgeteerGenius genius]], and zero morals. He's also one for Skye, or at least Skye as she was at the very beginning of the series, when she was a hacker who was anti-S.H.I.E.L.D.because [[BigBrotherIsWatching they are the big brother who is watching]]; he neither one of them likes S.H.I.E.L.D. but Quinn is the kind of guy that S.H.I.E.L.D. is supposed to stop.
* TheSociopath: Flat out stated as such in "The Only Light in the Darkness", where he is described as the ''least'' dangerous one of these locked in The Fridge.
* StrawmanPolitical: Of anarcho-capitalists and libertarians. He is notably angry when he finds out he has been working for the explicitly fascist HYDRA all along, but quickly comes around when they offer him his money, reputation and gravitonium back. Ultimately he is likely just an opportunistic reprobate out mainly for himself.
* TheTeamBenefactor: In [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E10TheBridge "The Bridge"]], Coulson's team tries to pinpoint where Centipede's financing comes from. When the tremendously wealthy Quinn is revealed to be part of the group, it's implied that he is the source.
* TooCleverByHalf: He's smarter than your average TV villain and Hall manipulates him with his desire to "look smart".
* UnwittingPawn: Quinn doesn't realize that Dr. Hall deliberately allowed himself to be kidnapped, so he could sabotage the graviton machine that Quinn hired him to improve.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: His image is so squeaky clean that even ''[[ConspiracyTheorist Skye]]'' didn't know that he wasn't the wonderful philanthropist he claimed to be. S.H.I.E.L.D. knew better. He was arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D., but with their collapse he's able to regain his reputation.
* VisionaryVillain: Sees himself as a crusader, spearheading a movement against oppressive government control. In practice, he comes off more as a CorruptCorporateExecutive, though some of his rhetoric was sincere.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Tries this with Skye when they first meet to recruit her from S.H.E.I.L.D.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He hasn't been seen since he high-tailed it out of Cybertek. Even Team Coulson have no idea where he went. "Inside Voices" reveals that he was absorbed into the Gravitonium shortly after fleeing Cybertek by a vengeful Franklin Hall.
* WouldHitAGirl: More accurately, Would Shoot a Girl. In his defense, he shot Skye because the Clairvoyant told him to when he caught her snooping around with a gun.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Subverted. The Clairvoyant cuts him loose after he's served his purpose in revealing how Coulson was brought back to life, leaving him at the mercy of some very angry agents. Even better, it turns out the person telling him this was the Clairvoyant himself. But he's broken out when HYDRA raids the Fridge, and Garrett even gives him the gravitonium Coulson's team took from his facility in their first meeting.

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: All she gets from being caught in an explosion is some teardrop-shaped scars on the side of the head, which actually enhances her looks and could pass off for mascara or body paint.

A former S.H.I.E.L.D agent who disappeared for years and was presumed dead. Shows up and starts stealing diamonds, which leads Coulson to her.

* AlliterativeName: '''A'''kela '''A'''mador.
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: Ultimately subverted; Ward's belief that she sold out her fellow agents turns out to be false (the op just went bad) and she isn't willingly working for her episode's villain. Given that Ward is an ''actual'' agent working for the episode's ultimate villain (the Clairvoyant), it's highly likely he wanted to get rid of a loose thread while breaking down S.H.I.E.L.D.'s loyal members.
* CombatPragmatist: When it becomes clear that Melinda is the superior hand-to-hand combatant, Akela knocks out the lights, switches to her x-ray vision, then tries to shoot her.
* DarkActionGirl: An assassin, thief, misc. dirty worker for an unknown organization. Though the "Dark" part was against her will.
* ExplosiveLeash: Her x-ray eye can be detonated if she disobeys orders.
* IneffectualLoner: Coulson states that she never trusted her fellow agents and always preferred working alone. This is why the op went bad, her fellows died, and she was captured.
* ItsAllMyFault: She blames herself for the op going bad seven years ago and thus the death of the people she worked with.
* TheStoic: Undergoes surgery on her cybernetic eye while awake without a single sign of worry.
* TrappedInVillainy: Akela initially tried to ignore her handler's orders; he responded with remote electric torture. And then there's the kill switch.
* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: She is not seen in Season One after her first episode, not even when Garrett and Ward release every prisoner from The Fridge.
* XRayVision: Thanks to a cybernetic eye. When closed, it switches over from normal vision.

'''Phil Coulson:''' "The Englishman"? Your handler? How do you know he's English?\\
'''Akela Amador:''' The way he refers to certain things. He uses "lift" instead of "elevator", "boot" instead of "trunk".

Akela Amador's handler. She knows nothing about him other than what little she has been able to glean from his typing patterns.

* CharacterDeath: As soon as he looks at Coulson's S.H.I.E.L.D. badge, his ExplosiveLeash eye implant activates, killing him.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Just like Akela, he was being monitored and controlled through an eye implant by another unidentified party. A later episode shows that he's being controlled by the Clairvoyant. In other words, he was the man behind Akela but there was another man behind him.
* NoNameGiven: He's only ever called "The Englishman" and we never learn his name during the episode.
* PleaseSelectNewCityName: He once writes "Burma" instead of "Myanmar", which allows Akela to accurately guess his age.
* RaceNameBasis: He's simply known as The Englishman.
* SeparatedByACommonLanguage: Akela calls him "The Englishman" because his messages use British English instead of American English. For instance, he'll write "lift" instead of "elevator".

A pyrokinetic street magician on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s watchlist. He is recruited by the organization behind Centipede in the hopes that they can use him to stabilize their serum.

* CanonForeigner: Chan Ho Yin isn't a character from the comics, though his codename is borrowed from [[http://marvel.wikia.com/Scorch a couple other D-list pyrokinetics.]] His ethnicity, as well as being "kind of a tool," also recalls Sunfire from the ''ComicBook/XMen'' comics.
* CodeName: Scorch, given to him by the people of Project Centipede to play to his ego.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: A major plot point is the aversion of this. The assignment of a codename to Chan helps him embrace the idea that he must have gotten his powers for a reason and that he's someone special and powerful for them. When he refers to himself as Scorch, Coulson treats the information that "they gave him a name" as an OhCrap and realizes how seriously he's taking things.
* ILoveNuclearPower: It's theorized his powers come from living near a nuclear plant that caught fire. However, it's noted that no one else in the vicinity received powers of any sort, so in the end the source is unknown.
* {{Jerkass}}: He first demonstrates his powers by scaring a couple who weren't impressed with his magic tricks. His S.H.I.E.L.D. file describes him as "kind of a tool."
* NotUsingTheZWord: His debut was before Disney/MCU had the rights to ''Franchise/XMen'', but it is likely he'd be referred to as a mutant. The Agents even theorize that exposure to nuclear radiation may have caused his powers, which was one of the reasons often given for Mutants developing mutations.
* PlayingWithFire: His power is generating fire from his hands.
* {{Pyromaniac}}: After his SanitySlippage he's a mad man with fire powers.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: His blood platelets make him immune to being burned by his own powers. Once they're extracted, he ends up scorching himself each time he lights up.
* RiddleForTheAges: It is never ultimately explained how he first acquired his fire powers.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After being given a taste of the Centipede serum then being betrayed by Raina. As soon as he gets free, he starts attacking everyone.
* StrappedToAnOperatingTable: Happens to him during Debbie's experiments: "This isn't testing, this is torture!"
* StreetPerformer: What he did for a living is magic tricks on street corners.
* SuperPowerMeltdown: He's given an overdose of Extremis when it's clear they can't talk him down.
* ThatManIsDead: Once he embraces his codename, he says that only "Scorch" lives.
