Last weeks episode of Agents of Shield was down right awesome, but now its time to look to the future. Next weeks episode is set to introduce three characters that have a history in the books that may indicate some future plot lines. These characters are Marcus Daniels, Agent Eric Koenig, and Major Glenn Talbot.
Ill start with Marcus Daniels. He was a research assistant to a physicist studying a form of radiation he called Black Star rays. Daniels was convinced to be a guinea pig and bombarded with the unusual radiation. As a result he ended up becoming a criminal known as Blackout. I'm curious to see what they do with him in the show.
The next character is Agent Koenig. In the books he was a Nazi who decided his leaders were not on the right path and ended up joining the allies. This storyline may have taken place during the WW2 era, but it could potentially translate into the current AoS story. So, what I'm thinking is that he was perhaps a Hydra Agent that decided he didn't want to be anymore and started feeding intel about Hydra to SHIELD. In return SHIELD buried him in a secret underground bunker. Nice.
The other character is Major Talbot. He did make an appearance in Ang Lee's "Hulk", but it was easily forgettable as was that film…. He also apparently made an appearance in the "Incredible Hulk" video game that came out for SEGA after the film did. I'm not sure if Marvel is actually using the events of the game in conjuncture with the events of the MCU, but if so, Major Talbot was believed to have been killed by the Hulk. He was also attempting to form feeling between he and Betty Ross. If the Talbot in next weeks episode is the same Talbot from the game, that will surely effect the characters motivations. I'm sure he's still crazy about being nearly killed by the Hulk, and losing Betty Ross's love to Bruce. Perhaps he's looking for revenge. If it isn't the same Talbot, or perhaps, the events of the video game just haven't happened yet, there is a lot of room for the character to be developed. I'm really looking forward to him becoming an decent antagonist, if not in the show, in a future Incredible Hulk film.
I'm very interested to see how all three of these characters will play a roll in the future episodes of the show. Anyone got any theories they wanna pass my way??
