-->''"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.

!!!'''Citizenship:''' British

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp''

A S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist who worked under Hank Pym before being fired, and father of Ava Starr[=/=]Ghost.

* AdaptationalHeroism: While not quite a "hero" and still morally-questionable as a scientist, he still very much cared for his daughter and wasn't an outright villain.
* AdaptationalOriginConnection: Egghead had absolutely no connection to Ghost in the comics. Here, he's the MCU version's father and the accidental source of her powers and condition.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Hank says that he's a traitor that deserved to be fired. A deleted alternate opening shows that Starr had actually stolen some of Hank's research to try to build his own Quantum Tunnel in the 80s, only to be foiled by Ant-Man and the Wasp.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Never called "Egghead", though that has a justification: Elihas never went full-on villain in this continuity to begin with.
* CompositeCharacter: The Egghead of the comics was never married and never had a child, instead he had a sibling (unknown if brother or sister) who got married and had a child, Egghead's niece, Trixie Starr.
* DeathByAdaptation: Dead by the events of ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'', but alive in the comics.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Not quite a saint, but he was still very much a family man.
* PosthumousCharacter: Died in a FreakLabAccident that also mutated his daughter when she was a child.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: The father of Ghost in the MCU, unlike the original.
* TogetherInDeath: His corpse is seen lying next to his wife's.

%% [[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/LaurenceFishburne (old) Creator/LangstonFishburne (young)
%%!!!'''Voiced By:'''
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp''

A former friend of Hank Pym's during Pym's time at S.H.I.E.L.D. and fellow expert in growing/shrinking technologies.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: He supports Ava's criminal behavior as Ghost because he wants to save his adopted daughter, but he himself doesn't come across as particularly evil. When Ava goes too far in her suggestion to kidnap Cassie Lang, that's where he draws the line. Later, despite his longstanding hatred towards Pym, he eventually agrees to surrender and allow him to rescue Janet after Pym promises he can also cure Ava.
* AntiVillain: He isn't actually evil, but he is a willing accessory to most of Ava's crimes, and is willing to endanger Janet's life to save Ava's. He does however draw the line at extremes like child kidnapping or outright murder and he turns on Ava once he realises she is going too far, yet continues to be protective of her even after this.
* BlackAndNerdy: A brilliant scientist in his own right and a lecturer at a university by the time of ''Ant-Man and the Wasp''.
* CastFromCalories: Compares notes about how tiring sizeshifting to huge size can be.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Immediately becomes petty and abrasive once he's in a room with Hank, but is disturbed when Ava suggests going after Scott's daughter Cassie to force them into compliance, threatening that he'll sever ties with Ava if she goes that far.
* KickTheDog: A ''cold blooded'' one when Bill says that Janet was the only who could tolerate Hank without being pushed way and that she paid the price for it. Hope and Scott has to physically restrain Hank. It was out of line and foreshadows the antagonism between them.
* MeaningfulName: Bordering on PunnyName: His surname is Foster he is Ava's foster father.
* MoralityChain: Despite helping as best he can, there are lines he won't cross. He's determined to help Ava save herself, but he still threatens to stop helping her if she actually goes ahead with kidnapping Cassie Lang as a bargaining chip.
* MythologyGag:
** Was part of a S.H.I.E.L.D. program with Pym called "G.O.L.I.A.T.H.", which was an alias that both of them went by in the comics.
** He wears a blue sweater with the collar up, a visual nod to his [[https://static0.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/Bill-Foster-aka-Goliath.jpg classic comic book costume]].
* NeverHurtAnInnocent: How he approaches his efforts to cure Ava. He tolerates Ava's collateral damage, illegal activities and any harm that befalls criminals but he draws the line at hurting innocents, most notably when he adamantly refuses to allow her to kidnap Cassie Lang. He even urges Ava to trust that Janet can help her to stop Ava from killing her by draining her quantum energy, something he turns out to be right about.
* NiceGuy: He's generally polite and cordial outside of his mutual bitterness with Hank. He's pleasant to Hope, Scott thinks he's cool before he's revealed to be working with Ghost, and presumably they get over that by the end of the movie, and he genuinely cares for Ava/Ghost, basically his foster daughter. Despite technically being an antagonist he's an AntiVillain at most, and even this is downplayed. He tolerates Ava's ruthlessness when it's directed toward criminals, but not innocents, and his own part in her operations is strictly selfless, presumably having had a hand in building the suit and isolation chamber which she uses to mitigate her condition.
* OldSuperhero: He is implied to be a retired hero, similar to Hank Pym. It is PlayedWith, as his actor Creator/LaurenceFishburne was around 55-56 during the filming of his first appearance, so it is not as extreme as other examples of this trope.
* ParentalSubstitute: Toward Ava. It becomes clear that his help isn't just about one-upping Pym but out of genuine concern for his adopted daughter.
* PassingTheTorch: It's an indirect version. He was partners with Hank on the technology that created Giant-Man and is implied to be the original Goliath superhero. Far from being upset that Scott is now using the technology he takes genuine interest and looks very impressed when Scott tells him how large he was able to grow. It's a subtle moment that suggests Foster has given Scott his approval.
* PetTheDog: When it seems like Hank is having a heart attack he's aggravated, but semi-quickly agrees to grab Hank's medicine. Which Hank was counting on; he was faking it, and the container was a trap.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: The adoptive father of Ava Starr, this version of Ghost. In the comics, Goliath and Ghost are not connected in any way.
* SitcomArchNemesis: He ''hates'' Hank. It's like a laboratory argument between colleagues that has lasted three decades. That being said, he doesn't turn Hank into the FBI when they come knocking, and he seems like a genuinely good guy who wants to do the right thing which includes helping Ghost, since no one else will. Hank Pym just seems to have that effect on people -- at least Bill didn't steal his company and try to kill him.
* {{Sizeshifter}}: As the original Giant-Man/Goliath, he reached a height of 21 feet.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the comics, Bill was killed during ''ComicBook/CivilWar''. In the films, he's introduced alive and well in a story set ''after'' [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar the MCU's version of the event]].
* UnreliableExpositor: He's heavily biased against Hank, so Bill's accounts of how their partnership ended should be taken with a grain of salt. Neither of them were there for Elihas Starr's death, and this also affects their judgment when it comes to Ghost.
* WouldntHurtAChild: He immediately puts his foot down when Ava suggests kidnapping Cassie as a way of forcing Scott and the others into compliance, threatening to end their relationship if Ava hurts Scott's daughter.

!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Max Osinski
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' (first appears in ''[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E9Repairs Episode 9: "Repairs"]]'')

A agent who worked with Coulson's team prior to the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. Following the appointment of Director Jeffry Mace, Davis was assigned to work under Coulson aboard Zephyr One, participating in the hunt for the Darkhold and operations against the Watchdogs. After being severely injured by Aida he rejoins the team to prevent the destruction of Earth by the "Destroyer of Worlds" before joining Daisy, Simmons, and Piper in space to search for Fitz.

* AscendedExtra: He appeared in one Season One episode, "Repairs," very briefly. Davis is brought back in the Season Four premiere "The Ghost" and got increasing screentime as the season went on.
* AcePilot: Ironically, though he starts out flying the ''Zephyr'' as the [[ClosestThingWeGot "least unqualified option"]], by Season 5 he appears to have graduated to this level full-time, and he's one of the ship's two pilots on its historic maiden voyage into space. After spending a year in space, Davis can now fly through asteroid fields while dodging fire from hostile spaceships with little problem.
* ActionDad: Although we've met neither of them, Davis has a wife and kid at home on Earth, which is part of why he's so eager to get back home, with or without Fitz.
* BadassNormal: While not on the level of the main characters, he is a skilled agent who often backs them up on missions against killer robots in Season 4.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Piper has Simmons bring back Davis as an LMD in the series finale.]]
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: The press release for his second appearance credited him as "Agent Red", a telepathic S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in the comics.
* ClosestThingWeGot: Although he just started training to fly the Zephyr, Davis is forced to become its pilot when he is one of only five agents to escape the Playground after it is infiltrated by [=LMDs=].
* DeadpanSnarker: Gets a few moments of snark off during "The Man Behind the Shield". When he and Simmons are searching the underground section of the Watchdogs base, she says that is it like a labyrinth, causing Davis to wonder if they'll meet the [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} Goblin King]].
* EveryScarHasAStory: Which he got fighting AIDA. Humorously, the story in question is one the audience [[TheUnreveal never gets to actually hear]].
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has the classic "ruggedly handsome" version on one cheek after surviving a one-on-one with Aida.
* HappilyMarried: While talking with Yo-Yo his pregnant wife is brought up. After a year in space searching for Fitz, Davis is quite eager to get back to Earth and reunite with his wife and son.
* HeroicSacrifice: Tells Piper to get herself and Fitz into the containment pod while he stays behind to stop a rampaging Aida. He thought he had killed her by emptying a clip into her, but Aida's new Inhuman powers allowed her to regenerate and kill him. Or so it seemed, we later learn that Deathlok got him medical attention just in time offscreen.
* IHeardThat: During ''Principa'', Coulson says he trusts May's skill at piloting the ''Zephyr One'' a lot more than Davis', which Davis both heard over the communications system and agrees with.
* ImStandingRightHere: In "The Man Behind the Shield" when Fitz does not show much confidence in Davis ability to take on Aida.
-->'''Fitz:''' You want to go after a killer robot alone?\\
'''Simmons:''' I'll take Davis with me.\\
'''Fitz:''' Concern only slightly lessened.\\
'''Davis:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Thanks]].
* MauveShirt: Classic example, takes point on several missions, provides covering fire in fights, and seemingly dies near the end of Season 4. Subverted when he turns up alive and well in Season 5. Perhaps a promotion to Blue Shirt is in order. [[spoiler: And double subverted in Season 6, where Izel kills him late in the season.]]
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Whatever the story is behind Davis surviving a one-on-one with Aida, Piper and Deke both agree that it's extremely awesome.
* OnlyOneName: That we know of, unless you listen to his actor's [[RepetitiveName theory]].
* PromotedToOpeningTitles: By approximately the midpoint of Season 5, Max Osinski's in the opening credits.
* PsychicAssistedSuicide: [[spoiler:In "Leap", Izel takes over Davis's body and makes him jump off a high ledge, which kills him.]]
* RepetitiveName: [[WordOfSaintPaul According to his actor]], he has the glorious name of "Davis D. Davis."
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:His gradual promotion from RedShirt to MauveShirt over the course of the series makes him this when he eventually falls victim to the Red Shirt curse at the hands of Izel, especially given that he has a wife and newborn son, which might have been expected to give him PlotArmor.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: When he returns in Season 5, he appears to have graduated from MauveShirt status, after [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome surviving his fight with Aida]] and even holding his own when the [[TheDreaded Remorath]] board the Zephyr. He even comes complete with PermaStubble and a [[GoodScarsEvilScars nifty battle scar.]]
* UncertainDoom: He's last seen in Season 4, mistakenly thinking that he [[NotQuiteDead killed Aida]], when she suddenly attacks him from behind. Turns out that he actually survived - [[NeverFoundTheBody somehow]].
* UnexplainedRecovery: [[NoodleIncident However it was]] that he survived the battle with Aida, which Piper implies was [[TakeOurWordForIt pretty awesome.]]
-->'''Piper:''' That's amazing, you survived all of that with just one scar? Do you tell everyone that story?\\
'''Davis:''' [[DeadpanSnarker I don't think they care.]]
* TheUnreveal: It's something of a RunningGag for the show to cut to Davis just ''after'' he explains to someone [[UnexplainedRecovery how he survived]] [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome fighting Aida]], a story which everyone thinks is [[TakeOurWordForIt incredibly amazing]] but which the audience never gets to hear.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Piper, usually board the ''Zephyr One'' while the others are off on missions.
* VitriolicBestBuds: He and Piper, thanks to their shared experiences supporting the main team, have bonded. This bonding consists mostly of sniping insults, but they always have each other's backs when making plans with the other agents.
* TheWatson: Serves as this in a couple episodes, particularly "Hot Potato Soup" where he is thoroughly confused by the Koenigs and is trying to figure out if they are clones or robots.
* WhyAreYouLookingAtMeLikeThat: Gives one when the other two agents look at him after being asked by Simmons [[ClosestThingWeGot if anyone can fly Zephyr One.]]

* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: His and Fox's idea that the strange occurrences are happening on the Ley lines is initially blown off as a stupid idea, but they're proven right. Keller never lets the chance to mention this pass by.
* DeadpanSnarker: Snarks fairly frequently. [[spoiler:Even after getting infected by the parasite and is possibly dying, he keeps it up, joking to Yo-Yo that it's a little soon to bring a parasitic alien into their relationship and wanting to know if it's ok.]]

* MauveShirt: After playing a supporting role throughout season six, [[spoiler:when the Chronicom Hunters take over the Lighthouse, he's among the agents lined up and executed by the invaders.]]
* ProfessionalButtkisser: To keep up his cover, he constantly praises Deke and his endeavors.
* TheMole: S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mole within Deke's company.

!!!'''Citizenship:''' Russian
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Numan Acar
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome''

A member of Nick Fury's crew operating in Europe.

* AdaptationalHeroism: In the comics, Dimitri Smerdyakov is Spider-Man's foe the Chameleon. Here, he's working for Nick Fury ([[spoiler:or maybe Talos, [[AmbiguousSituation it's not clear which or if he knows the difference]]]]).
* AmbiguouslyHuman: After the reveal in the stinger, there has been some arguing in the fandom as to whether [[spoiler:he and the female agent who gives Peter the stealth suit are humans or Skrulls]].
* BadassBeard: He has an incredible rough beard.
* TheComicallySerious: Dimitri has one hell of an impressive poker-face, even in the face of all the weirdness that comes with babysitting [[{{Adorkable}} Peter Parker]]. The only time he seems to lose his cool is when he rolls his eyes and shakes his head in pure annoyance and disapproval of Flash's social-media nonsense.
* TheQuietOne: He only has one line in the entire film, telling Mr. Harrington that they're making a short rest stop. This technically doubles as a MythologyGag to some depictions of his comic book counterpart, which have him never speak while not under a disguise.
* RaceLift: in the comics Dimitri Smerdyakov is a white man of Russian origin, while in the movie, he is played by Turkish actor Numan Acar.
* TheSpook: Aside from his name, E.D.I.T.H. has absolutely no data on this guy, or at least none that Peter can actually access due to it being encrypted. Justified in that he's a spy.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/piper_mcu_8.jpg]]

!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Briana Venskus
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' (first appears in ''[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS3E19FailedExperiments Episode 63: "Failed Experiments"]]'')

A S.H.I.E.L.D. operations agent, Piper volunteered for the strike team sent to destroy Hive. After S.H.I.E.L.D. was reorganized under Director Jeffrey Mace, Piper became May's second-in-command for her strike team.

* ActionGirl: Her basic job description as a operations agent. Piper is brave and skilled enough to volunteer to be part of the kill team sent after Hive, and May trusts her enough to appoint her as second-in-command on her strike team. When May is infected by Lucy Bauer's ghost and begins attacking other agents, Piper lasts a lot longer against her in hand-to-hand combat than anyone else.
* AmbiguouslyGay: She's rather tomboyish, with a fairly [[BoyishShortHair butch haircut]], and has never shown any interest in men. [[WordOfSaintPaul Briana Venskus]] implies in her Twitter that Piper has a crush on [[SexyMentor May]], which may explain the ThatCameOutWrong below.
** In "The Honeymoon", when referring to Daisy after Deke enters into a drug-fuelled rant about how much he was into her, Piper awkwardly mentions "she's not my type, [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer but I get it]]." Interpret that as you will.
* AscendedExtra: Appeared in one episode of Season 3, "Failed Experiments", as a member of Coulson's backup team, and has slowly but steadily increased in prominence since then.
* TheAtoner: Spends a good portion of her appearances in Season 5 trying to make up for getting tricked by Hale into leading Coulson's team into a trap that led to Yo-Yo losing her arms.
* {{BFG}}: Wields a small rocket launcher against Hive, which she claims Coulson promised her in her contract. Unfortunately, when Piper uses it against Hive and blasts off an arm, it simply regrows the limb.
* BoyishShortHair: As befitting a tomboyish S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, she has noticeably short hair.
* TheBusCameBack: After being absent in the first half of Season 5 due to the team traveling to the future, she quickly rejoins them upon their return to the present.
** Absent from most of season 7 due to the team time traveling to the past this time, and reappears in the series finale.
* DeadpanSnarker: Frequently snarks at the other members of her team.
* MauveShirt: The most prominent character among S.H.I.E.L.D.'s "random backup field op agents" post-Season 3.
* TheMedic: Before S.H.I.E.L.D. got disbanded again following the [=LMD=] crisis, Piper was training to be a field medic and surgeon. In Season 5, this makes her the de facto team medic [[ClosestThingWeGot despite her incomplete training]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After realizing that General Hale lied to her and how it led to Elena's crippling, she is shaken to the core.
* NumberTwo: Basically May's lieutenant.
* OhCrap: Has two moments of this during the mission to assassinate Hive: the first when the Kree land, and the second when Hive no-sells her rocket and begins regrowing his arm.
* OnlyOneName: That we know of, although we can assume it's not her surname.
* PutOnABus: Technically inversion, in literal sense. After Aida went berserk, Piper left Zephyr One by parachute with all of the instructions necessary if things got wrong between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Aida. So, she left "the bus" (Zephyr One) rather than be put on one.
* SmallGirlBigGun: Briana Venskus is a fairly petite woman, and attentive viewers will note that during fight scenes with her S.H.I.E.L.D. compatriots, Piper is nearly always the one holding the ''largest'' gun.
* ThatCameOutWrong: When May tells her to just call her "May", she says "I can do May... I mean, I can do that, May."
* ThoseTwoGuys: Occasionally forms one with Agent Davis.
* UnwittingPawn: Helps General Hale luring Team Coulson into a trap, on the false promise of them just being taken into custody and treated fairly.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Davis, particularly in Season 6. They are almost always take shots at one another, but have each other's backs when making plans with the rest of the team. [[spoiler:To the point that when Simmons owes Piper a favor of absolutely anything, her choice is to resurrect Davis as an LMD. They're back to playfully feuding in no time at all, and Elena jokes that Piper is starting to regret it.]]

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Artemis Pebdani

The older sister of the Koenig brothers, and the one who recruited them into S.H.I.E.L.D.

* ActionGirl: To be expected of the sister of the Koenigs, as she easily overpowered Agent Davis. In fact, she trained the brothers.
* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, Eric Koenig's sister was named Ilsa Koenig. Then again, Ilsa Koenig was also a member of the German Resistance and Nick Fury's lover during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, so maybe it's not accurate to say that LT is based on Ilsa.
* BigSisterMentor: She was the one who recruited and trained Eric, Sam, and Billy. She's actually surprised that she wasn't able to recruit Thurston.
* BigSisterBully: When Daisy asks what it was likely growing up with quadruplets, LT says that there was a lot of crying...because she picked on them. She also casually shot Thurston with [=ICEr=] to shut him up when he refused to go into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s protection.
* IHaveBrothers: Inverted. ''They'' learned all of their masculine skills from ''her''.
* OutnumberedSibling: The only female Koenig sibling... and also the only "manly" one given that her brothers are all giant nerds (except the one who is a giant hipster instead).

A agent who worked with Coulson's team prior to the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. Following the appointment of Director Jeffry Mace, Davis was assigned to work under Coulson aboard Zephyr One, participating in the hunt for the Darkhold and operations against the Watchdogs. After being severely injured by Aida he rejoins the team to prevent the destruction of Earth by the "Destroyer of Worlds" before joining Daisy, Simmons, and Piper in space to search for Fitz.

* ReverseMole: When he first appears, it's implied that he is going to torture Coulson for information but it's soon revealed that he too is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
