The Falcon & The Winter Soldier: 10 Biggest Takeaways From Episode Four

There is one underlying mystery along side the main plot of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and it is regarding the Power Broker. Labelled as the King of Madripoor by Zemo, the Power Broker is a big deal, all but runs the island of outlaws, and is coming for Karli Morgenthau.

They paid Dr. Nagel to produce the super soldier serum, but Karli stole every single vial seemingly before they had a chance to either sell it on or use it themselves. Fans have been theorising as to who the mysterious character actually is, and many believe it to be Sharon Carter.

She is the only truly known character currently living on Madripoor, she is incredibly wealthy and has a large amount of sway and resource on the island, with even tracking John Walker via satellite from across the world not out of her reach, and she has been just a bit shady ever since she was first reunited with Sam and Bucky.

Her limited screen time in episode four only increased speculation that she is the mysterious ruler of Madripoor, particularly as there have been no other real candidates offered. Of course, this could be a case of misdirection from Marvel Studios, or fans could be falling into another WandaVision situation. Fans, this writer included, spent many weeks speculating over the identity of Monica Rambeau's aerospace engineer, only for the reveal to mean nothing at all.
