Agents Of SHIELD: 10 Best Deaths So Far
7. Katya
The Episode: Melinda
After a season and a half, the story behind Melinda May's nickname as The Cavalry was finally revealed. In flashbacks, May accompanied Coulson and a team of SHIELD agents to Bahrain in an attempt to contact and recruit an Inhuman named Eva, though the situation quickly went south when Eva revealed that she had taken control of a number of local thugs.
Soon after, Coulson and May lost contact with the team who had moved in to rescue a little girl taken hostage by the thugs. With no other option, Coulson allowed an eager May to go in on her own, where she found that the agents, the thugs and even Eva herself were actually under the control of the little girl, Eva’s own daughter, Katya.
Feeding off her victims’ pain and proving that she could kill them at will, Katya moved in on May, forcing May to put her down, restoring everyone's self-control. Though May appeared to have taken down Eva and her thugs single-handedly to everybody else - earning her her nickname - the truth about what had happened irrevocably changed her forever.
