The Lighthouse
In General
The Lighthouse
Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
A prison colony for what remains of humanity, ruled by the Kree in a future in which Earth has been destroyed.
- Alternate Timeline: Team Coulson was able to avert the destruction of Earth, placing the Bad Future firmly in an alternate timeline.
- Bad Future: The Earth has been cracked in half, the remnants of humanity are enslaved by 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, and there are no tacos.
- Black Site: An abandoned Elaborate Underground Base whose origins are "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.
- Death World: 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.
- Elaborate Underground Base: What the Lighthouse was, before the destruction of Earth.
- Fantastic Caste System: Some humans, chosen for their beauty, are taken to the lower levels of the Lighthouse to serve as personal servitors to Kasius.
- Future Imperfect: The Kree have destroyed most of Earth's historical records, and what is left is so confused that people actually think that sharknadoes were an actual event.
- Internal Retcon: 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.
- Lighthouse Point: It gets its name from the lighthouse that stood on top of it, on the shores of Lake Ontario.
- The Purge: 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.
- Slave Race: The remaining humanity have been reduced to either mining iron or becoming exotic commodities under the "protection" of the Kree.
- Space Station: 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.
- Stable Time Loop: 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.
- Through His Stomach: 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.
Kree Watch
Kasius
Kasius
"I believe a great fortune can smooth over any transgression."
Species: Kree
Portrayed By: Dominic Rains
Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (first appears in Episode 90: "Orientation, Part Two")
"A life spent. A life earned."
A Kree noble of House Kasius who is overseer of the Lighthouse.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: He has blue skin like the rest of the Kree, only his face is mostly covered with a white powder akin to makeup.
- Arc Villain: Of the first half of Season 5, as the leader of the Kree who rule over the surviving humans in the Lighthouse.
- Berserk Button: Kasius endures all of his brother's taunting, but when Faulnak tries to take Sinara from him, he furiously stabs him in the back.
- The Berserker: After ingesting the Odium, he goes on a screaming rampage and shrugs off shotgun shells.
- Big Bad Wannabe: 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: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.
- Canon Foreigner: There's no Kasius in the comic books.
- Death by Irony: 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.
- Dirty Coward: 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 Last Stand.
- Disc-One Final Boss: 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 Big Bad.
- Embodiment of Vice: Vanity. While the rest of his family are Blood Knights, Kasius is a preening Sissy Villain 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 Establishing Character Moment. When he suffers a Sanity Slippage, he tries 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 Pragmatic Villainy, but out of a desire to "wipe the slate clean" on a shameful period in his life.
- Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Kasius is confident enough that Humans Are Bastards and will always turn on each other for the sake of self-preservation. He fails to realize that The Apocalypse Brings Out the Best in People, and Team S.H.I.E.L.D. uses that against him.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: 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.
- The Exile: Kasius is exiled by his father for fleeing from a military battle. His Inhuman weapon trade is an effort to mend fences with him.
- Faux Affably Evil: His manners and delusions of philosophy mask a vicious, cruel and vindictive temper.
- General Failure: 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 get rid of him.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Kasius's fate, courtesy of Mack's shotgun axe.
- In Touch with His Feminine Side: 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 Proud Warrior Race Guy family.
- Leitmotif: A rather soft and creepy piano tune that plays in most of his scenes.
- Last Villain Stand: Even after S.H.I.E.L.D. takes away everything that he has, he consumes the Odium to fight Mack himself.
- Make Wrong What Once Went Right: Once he understands 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.
- Meaningful Name: 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.
- Narcissist: Kasius is obsessed with beauty, both in himself and in his slaves.
- Non-Action Big Bad: He's simply not a warrior type. Subverted in the arc's finale, when he takes the Odium himself and gives Mack one hell of a fight.
- Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: To humans, he's their untouchable Evil Overlord. To the rest of the Kree and his other alien guests, he's something of a joke.
- Reassigned to Antarctica: Being the Black Sheep, he's been shuffled off to a galactic backwater to oversee the remnants of humanity so as not to disgrace his family any further.
- Sharp-Dressed Man: Unlike most of the Kree in the Lighthouse, he wears a nice suit with intricate patterns.
- Slashed Throat: Subverted. Jemma slashes Kasius' cheek in "Fun & Games" and it leaves a scar.
- The Sociopath: Has no qualms about killing a slave for getting a minor but noticeable cut. He also plans on destroying the Lighthouse and all the humans in it after he amasses enough wealth to leave.
- The Unfavorite: Turns out his brother runs the family empire on behalf of their father while he's in charge of nothing more than a backwater. If Kasius is to be believed, his father tried to have him killed by sending him on a suicidal military mission.
- Villainous Breakdown: With elements of Despair Event Horizon. 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 Psycho Serum that will turn a Kree into a berserker but will eventually kill him regardless of the outcome of fighting Team Coulson.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: Despite his belief that his father sent him on a suicide mission, Kasius desperately wants his father's approval.
- Wicked Cultured: He spends his time in his suite tending his plants and admiring beauty.
Sinara

Species: Kree
Portrayed By: Florence Faivre
Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (first appears in Episode 90: "Orientation, Part Two")
A member of the Kree Watch of the Lighthouse, and Kasius's second in command.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Her skin is the regular shade of blue for the Kree, but she has a presumably artificially induced discoloration around the eyes.
- Beware the Quiet Ones: She's a coldblooded murderer who rarely makes a sound.
- Canon Foreigner: There is no character in Marvel lore called Sinara.
- Dark Action Girl: She's an evil fighter pitted against Daisy, the resident Action Girl of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..
- The Dragon: She is Kasius's second in command and main enforcer, and the one who actually leads the Kree Watch and does his dirty work.
- Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: She's disgusted when Jemma is able to help Abby control her powers through compassion.
- I Fight for the Strongest Side!: She comes close to abandoning Kasius in favor of Faulnak, Kasius kills his brother to ensure her loyalty.
- Green-Skinned Space Babe: She's a blue-skinned Kree woman who is pretty attractive and Kasius's Love Interest.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: While fighting Daisy in a gravity storm, a sudden shift in gravity sends her flying uncontrollably into a steel pole held by Daisy, killing her.
- Leitmotif: An evil-sounding droning bass-horn that plays whenever she's on screen, possibly the only character on the show to get such a distinctive leitmotif.
- The Smurfette Principle: The first and only female Kree to appear in the MCU until the release of Captain Marvel.
- Undying Loyalty: Zigg-zagged. Kasius has to prove to her that he's a master worth serving. He does so by killing his brother.
Faulnak
Faulnak
Species: Kree
Portrayed By: Samuel Roukin
Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (first appears in Episode 94: "Fun & Games")
The brother of Kasius, and right-hand man of their father.
- Asshole Victim: After continuously insulting and belittling Kasius and trying to convince Sinara to switch sides, Kasius stabs him in the back. It's hard to feel sorry for him.
- Big Bad Wannabe: It seems like he's about to usurp control of the Lighthouse from his brother, only for Kasius to kill him in his second appearance when he tries to recruit Sinara to his army.
- Big Brother Bully: 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.
- Close-Range Combatant: He prefers blades over firearms, saying that he enjoys feeling the splash of blood on his body.
- Dark Is Evil: He wears dark clothing and black facial paint around his eyes, and he's proven to be much worse than his brother.
- Hates Small Talk: He's always blunt and straight to the point.
- Hot-Blooded: A villainous example, and he's quite proud of it.
- No Sympathy: 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 Uriah Gambit, only calling Kasius out for making "excuses".
- Number Two: To his father, serving as his right-hand man and heir-apparent.
- Parental Favoritism: Faulnak is favored over Kasius, as he acts like a "proper" Kree warrior.
- Pragmatic Villainy: He orders Maston-Dar to hunt down Daisy, Jemma and Fitz with primitive human weapons because he considers humans too inferior for Kree weapons.

A Kree Warrior and bodyguard of Faulnak.
- Asshole Victim: While he doesn't talk much, he treats everyone except Faulnak with little respect, and later gets killed by Sinara.
- Blood Knight: If his insistence on hunting with human weapons didn't make it apparent, when he finally finds Daisy and FitzSimmons, he tells them to either give up or "entertain me", implying he would enjoy fighting them.
- The Dragon: He is Faulnak's personal bodyguard and main enforcer who was tasked with capturing Quake and the other Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but he is killed by Sinara before accomplishing his mission.
- The Quiet One: He only talks when it's necessary.
- Willfully Weak: Maston-Dar requests a human weapon to use against Team Coulson, since he "finds it unfair hunting down primitives with anything but their own primitive armaments".

Abby
Abby
Species: Inhuman
Portrayed By: Ciara Bravo
Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
A young Inhuman with the power to alter her molecular density, becoming superdurable or able to phase through solid objects.
- Break the Cutie: She's a sweet, innocent girl who gains abilities that cause her pain when she can't control them. Just when it seems things are looking up, she gets pummelled in a death match, wins by crushing her opponent's heart, much to her horror, and ends up sold as a living weapon.
- Intangibility: One of her abilities is to shift her density enough to phase through solid objects.
- Power Incontinence: When introduced, she is not able to properly control her powers.
- Super-Toughness: Her other ability is increase her density so that it is as hard as lead.
- Tele-Frag: If she increases her density from intangible while still phased through an object it's violently pushed out of the way. She can weaponize this to blow a hole in an opponent's chest.
Ben
Ben
Species: Inhuman
Portrayed By: Myko Olivier
Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
One of the many Inhumans kept by Kasius to be sold. Ben is a telepath, allowing him to hear people's thoughts, as well as project his own to them.
- Blessed with Suck: Thanks to Power Incontinence, he actually prefers when his inhibitor is on to prevent him from hearing people's thought all the time.
- Hidden Depths: His earlier interactions with Daisy suggest he has completely given up trying to oppose the Krees and fully embraced their regime as a mean to ensure his family will be fine. It's later revealed he still kept part of his powers a secret to them, meaning he did, to some extent, still consider opposing them enough to keep a trump card.
- Power Incontinence: His mind reading doesn't have a natural "off" switch; if not for his inhibitor, he would hear people's thought all the time.
- Telepathy: He is capable of hearing other people's thoughts. Unbeknownst to Kasius, he also can project his own thoughts inside other people's minds, something he managed to keep for himself.

The Seer
Seer/Elena Rodriguez
Species: Inhuman
Portrayed By: Natalia Cordova-Buckley

A seer in Kasius's service.
For tropes applying to her present-day self, see her entry on MCU: S.H.I.E.L.D. – Team Coulson.
- An Arm and a Leg: Is missing both arms, like her comic counterpart.
- Back from the Dead: Kasius brings the Seer to life whenever he has need of her services, and kills her when he doesn't.
- Broken Bird: 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.
- My Future Self and Me: She is a future version of Yo-Yo, the member of Team Coulson who finds her.
- My Greatest Failure: Claims that the team's insistence on saving Coulson's life was responsible for the Bad Future.
- Mythology Gag: She is missing both arms, as the comic version of Yo-Yo did.
- Older Than They Look: 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.
- Seers: Provides Kasius with information about Team Coulson that he could not otherwise possess. She is able to do this because she's already lived it.
- Slashed Throat: Kasius kills her for the last time by cutting her throat with a small Kree-style blade.
- You Can't Fight Fate: She tells Yo-Yo that the Bad Future can't be prevented because she tried after seeing herself in this same position.
Humanity
Remnants of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Melinda May, Leo Fitz, and Jemma Simmons (alternate timeline)
Species: Humans
Portrayed By: Ming-Na Wen, Iain De Caestecker, Elizabeth Henstridge
Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (The Last Day)
Remnants of Team Coulson after the Earth is cracked apart in the alternate timeline.
- Breaking the Fellowship: 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 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 You Can't Fight Fate.
- Despair Event Horizon: Fitz crossed it when 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.
- Happily Married: Fitz and Simmons grow old together as Deke's Bobo and Nana in this timeline after being married prior to Earth's destruction.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: 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 Stable Time Loop.
- Killed Offscreen: 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.
- My Greatest Second Chance: May took the chance to be a mother to Robin after giving up any pretensions of motherhood after the disastrous Bahrain incident.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero:
- "The Last Day" reveals that the Elaborate Underground Base 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.
- More of a "Nice Job Breaking It, Well-Intentioned Extremist", but Hale's attempt to stop the Kree is what caused the Earth to be destroyed, which led to the above happening.
- Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Despite already crossing Despair Event Horizon, they still managed to be Good Parents 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.
- Parental Substitute: May becomes this to Robin, after her real mother was lost during the calamity. Robin even calls her "Mom".
- Posthumous Character: They're no longer alive by the time their main timeline counterparts arrive in their timeline.
- Secret Identity: 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.
- Stable Time Loop: These variants of Team Coulson (or at least, its survivors) grow old during the Bad Future, ultimately setting the stage for their younger selves' arrival in 2091.
- Team Mom: 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 Despair Event Horizon.
- You Can't Fight Fate: 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.
Civilians
Grill
Grill
Species: Human
Portrayed By: Pruitt Taylor Vince
Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (first appears in Episode 90: "Orientation, Part Two")
A taskmaster aboard the Lighthouse running a salvage operation.
- Anti-Villain: 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.
- Asshole Victim: He was not a nice dude, and he was threatening to shoot Flint when the young Inhuman crushed him under a giant boulder.
- Bad Boss: Will often activate metrics to punish "slow" workers or kill those who he doesn't like.
- Fat Bastard: Rather overweight, and most definitely not a pleasant person.
- Loan Shark: His entire business seems to consist in lending money to people so he can then harass them into paying him back.
- Kick the Dog: He leaves Coulson, Mack, and Yo-yo out as bait for one of his disgruntled customers during The Purge.
- Pet the Dog: 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.
- Villainous Friendship: He is legitimately pissed after finding out that Team Coulson put the blame on Zev and he sent him to his death for nothing.
Zev
Zev
Species: Human
Portrayed By: Kaleti Williams
Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (first appears in Episode 90: "Orientation, Part Two")
Grill's right-hand man.
- Asshole Victim: Sure, his fate is rather grim, but it's not like he was the nicest guy around.
- Frame-Up: On the receiving end of it by Elena, who hides a gun in his jacket so he would take the fall for them and be exiled to Earth.
- Killed Offscreen: The episode mercifully ends just before the Roaches begin ripping him apart.
True Believers
Robin Hinton

Voss
Samuel "Sam" Voss
Species: Human
Portrayed By: Michael McGrady
Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
A member of the True Believers who was exiled to Earth alongside many others, among them Deke's father Owen.
- The Exile: 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.
- Karma Houdini: 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.
- The Leader: He appears to be the guy in charge of the surviving True Believers on Earth because they all follow his lead.
- Set Right What Once Went Wrong: 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.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: He wants to kill Daisy to prevent the Bad Future, 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.
- You Killed My Father: He killed Deke's father Owen over an argument, in what he calls self-defense.

- Killed Mid-Sentence: 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.
- Talking Is a Free Action: 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. This does him no good, as he's killed by a Roach that impaled his head in the middle of his talk to Team Coulson.

- Back from the Dead: 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.
- Cool Big Sis: She acts as an older friend and mentor to the teenage Flint.
- Death by Origin Story: Her death initially seems to be this for Flint's origin story; however, this is ultimately played with when she ends up being resurrected.
- Decoy Protagonist: 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.
- Killed Offscreen: Is only seen as a hanging corpse after her execution. Inverted when she is later resurrected off-screen by the Kree.
- Make an Example of Them: Tess is killed by the Kree Vicar and then left as a hanging corpse as a warning to those who hid Flint.
- Shoot the Dog: She believes that 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.
- Shrinking Violet: 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.
Flint
Flint
Species: Inhuman
Portrayed By: Coy Stewart
Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
A young Inhuman who develops the power to manipulate and control earth and rock.
- Adaptational Badass: 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.
- Adaptation Name Change: In the comics, Flint is his codename while his birth name is Jaycen.
- Age Lift: In the comics, Flint is a present-day character; here, he's from about 70 years in the future.
- The Bus Came Back: The Bad Future 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.
- Chekhov's Gunman: 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:
- 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 Bad Future.
- 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.
- In Season 7, he's instrumental in Fitz's time-travel gambit, as his recreation of the Time monolith allows Fitz to establish a Stable Time Loop between the monolith and the Quantum Realm.
- Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: An Inverted Trope - 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.
- Dishing Out Dirt: His power allows him to control dirt and rocks.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: After all of the horrible shit he went through, Flint - or at least a flawless copy of him - is finally allowed to live a (relatively) normal life in modern day as a young S.H.I.E.L.D. recruit under the tutelage of Melinda May.
- Fish out of Temporal Water: 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 getting robot arms and Deke getting sent back in time to before the Earth-Shattering Kaboom, 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.
- Leitmotif: A cute whistle melody for a plucky kid with an open heart.
- Like a Son to Me: To Mack and Elena, as described by their actors.
- Meaningful Name: Flint is a type of sedimentary rock.
