As I recall, Cal called the group the "Slicing... Talons." It was sort of made-up on the spot, though.

Ten bucks says she was a Jeff Loeb creation.

Gods, you might actually be right! I can absolutely see it!

"You know who all the kids are going crazy for! Wolverine! Let's have Wolverine in there... but to get these irritating lawyers off our backs, we'll make Wolverine a woman! And a villain! Without the healing mumbo jumbo, of course. And instead of retractable blade thingies, we'll just staple some blades to her fingernails. Why, you ask? Because she has an abusive husband, of course! Anyone from the comics we can use? Great! This is pure gold! Why isn't anyone taking notes??? Get Jed and Mo on the line!"

Maybe the 2nd half of this season is building towards Age of Ultron, just like season 1 built toward Winter Soldier?

I'm sure they'll have some tie-in to AOU, but this nuSHIELD stuff seems to me like they're playing the long game by building towards Civil War. Hey, they're already getting into the Inhumans like crazy, and that movie's 4 and a half years away.

Just makes sense that to me that Coulson's SHIELD might be on Cap's side while nuSHIELD would side with Stark. While I don't expect any of this to play out on the big screen, a parallel Civil War tie-in storyline could very well play out AOS.
