The Falcon & The Winter Soldier: 8 Characters Who Could Still Appear

8. Curtiss Jackson

One of the biggest mysteries in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier right now is simply, who is the Power Broker? The character has been referenced only by name so far, but they have been built to be a big player in Madripoor and a definite threat to Karli Morgenthau and the Flag Smashers.

It seems certain that their identity will be revealed before the end of the series, and while many believe it could be Sharon Carter, there is no guarantee that it will actually be a shocking revelation. Just look at WandaVision and the identities of Ralph and the aerospace engineer.

The same thing could be happening here in that there won't be a huge shock, but instead the Power Broker's identity will be exactly what it was in the comics. Curtiss Jackson's story is somewhat similar to the MCU's Power Broker so far, in that he recruited a scientist to research superhuman strength, though in the comics he ended up exposing himself to these experiments, resulting in so much muscle growth that he could barely move.

While the MCU is unlikely to go into this much detail with his story, since Dr. Nagel specifically designed his serum to be subtle, and there is none of it left anyway, the Power Broker may ultimately be little more than a side story for Karli and the Flag Smashers. It's not like MCU fans haven't read too much into teases before, right?
