Agents Of SHIELD Season 4: 15 Characters Who Need To Return
11. Hive
Last Seen: Dying alongside Lincoln as the quinjet carrying his warhead exploded in space during 'Ascension," the third season finale.
As I've already mentioned, the Framework opens the door for all sorts of villains to return from the show's past, and few are more important than Hive. Throughout the second half of the third season, Hive offered the team their biggest threat yet, his actions costing many lives and forever changing the landscape of the series.
With Grant Ward alive and well in the alternate reality, it raises the question of whether or not Hive is still trapped on Maveth or whether he managed to be brought to Earth.
If it's the latter, the circumstances of his arrival are ripe to be mined: Has he taken over the guise of someone else? Has he - or will he - once again tried to repeat his actions of the third season? How does he fit into a unified HYDRA organization alongside characters like Daniel Whitehall and Gideon Malick? The possibilities are endless, and it'd be a shame for the show not to explore how much or how little influence he's had in this new world and whether HYDRA members like Malick still deem him important.
