Agents Of SHIELD Season 3: Everything We Know So Far
8. Meet Lash
Another new addition to the series is one taken straight from the pages of the comics, and is set to be something of a major foe for the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and (in)humanity as a whole. This is Lash, an Inhuman character set to be played by former NFL star Matthew Willig.
His comics background is that he was born in an Inhuman city, and chosen to receive the gift of Terrigenesis. When a Terrigen Bomb exploded above New York, he made it his personal mission to travel the Earth finding all of the new Inhumans, and judging whether or not they are worthy of their powers. His abilities are energy absorption and manipulation, which for example leaves him capable of disintegrating a human, or transferring kinetic energy into heat to use against someone.
The show will be putting their own twist on the character, but given he'll be working for the ACTU it seems a safe bet he'll be following a similar path in terms of hunting down Inhumans, and from the shadowy first look he appears to be a rather impressive foe, and a great big bad is something the show could really do with.
