Agents Of SHIELD: 20 Easter Eggs And In-Jokes You Probably Missed

2. Department H

The first we hear of the first €˜Clairvoyant€™, Thomas Nash, is that he€™s in an assisted living facility in Macon, Georgia before being whisked away by Deathlok and shot point blank by Agent Ward, who would later reveal that his actions were motivated by his allegiance to Hydra and the need to cover up that Nash was a red herring. A red herring can be just as juicy as a fat haddock, though, as it€™s discovered that Nash was formerly part of a Department H-type program in Canada. Don€™t know what a Department H is? Well, in the comics it€™s the military agency that Wolverine worked for, along with Deadpool, super-team Alpha Flight and any other Canadian heroes you might care to mention. Now, obviously there aren€™t going to be any appearances by Marvel€™s Merry Mutants as their film rights currently belong to Fox, and it doesn€™t look like they€™re going to stop making X-Men movies any time soon, but it would be great to see some international inter-agency mingling going on in future episodes.
