Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Chloe Bennet IS Skye

[mocomic]

I used to think Spider-Woman but now I'm leaning towards http://marvel.wikia.com/Sarah_Garza_(Earth-616)

She's a minor character, mostly unknown and that lets the writers do what they want without wording about her backstory or known cannon

Yours more likely than mine
General audience don't know Mantis

All I know, hope they can keep the action up
Hope the budget is there
They lost my buddy, hope the show grows

ABC is writing this show for general audiences. They are not going to make sure Skye is some obscure comic book character that literally no-one outside of hardcore fans ever heard of. The reveal makes no sense in nobody is capable of understanding it.

Unless they make her Wonder Woman, no one outside of hardcore comic fans are going to have heard of her. whoever they have her be.

A lot more casual comic geeks and general audiences have heard of Spider-Woman than they have Sarah Garza, though.

I've given up on the notion that Skye is Jessica Drew, by any stretch. Carol Danvers could be a longshot, but that would be a pretty big twist in the origin story; besides, Ms./Capt. Marvel is definitely a character who belongs in The Avengers proper, not in a SHIELD offshoot. Abigail Brand could be a safe bet for a comic-book crossover, especially considering that Brand is actually a Joss Whedon creation. With all the buzz about Inhumans in fan circles, there's a possibility that Skye is one, or at least a hybrid, but I wouldn't look for her to be a major comic-book player like, say, Crystal.

Right now, I'm thinking Raina has a better shot of being a comic-book character than Skye does. But who knows....I'm down for either an original or a canon, in the cases of both Skye and Raina. (I hope Coulson remains an entirely original character, though. As cool as it might be to see Coulson turn out to be Mar-Vell or some such, it'd still be a lot better to have Coulson develop his own mythology in the MCU instead of trying to force him into a muddled version of a canon character.)

Well... hopefully we'll get some answers come tonight, re: Skye's secret origins

I'd be willing to bet that Marvel's Black Widow character was not widely known to the non-comic literate public prior to IRON MAN 2 and AVENGERS.

If you put an attractive female like Chole Bennet (thankfully with now proven acting talent) in any obscure super-hero role, that character is going to become quickly accepted by the general audience. With that said, I'm starting to really like the idea of "Skye is Brand". We've seen Skye become very resourceful and assertive in the last set of episodes, while supporting Coulson and while dealing with issues on her own.

Yeah, Brand makes sense. Abigail doesn't have a definitive backstory in the comics anyway --- the jury's still out on whether she's human or alien, last time I checked --- and the fact that she's Joss' character lends weight to that theory. Joss may be trying to flesh out the character and give her an actual origin story here on the TV show.

 

[Dark Raven]

If Skye is Abigail Brand, are we supposed to start calling her that next season? I prefer to call her Skye, since that's what we've known her as all this time.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

I heard that skye is actually

Spoiler

An Inhuman, specifically Crystal.

Can't remember where I heard that.

 

[marcvader]

Skye is Skye, a newly created character for the show. Who she is or what she'll become may be answered tonight but I wouldn't bet on a clear answer, you know, cliffhanger and all.

The stress of going on the Bus with Ward then being forced to unlock the hard drive, seeing Ward tortured, and then unlocking the hard drive didn't seem to manifest any powers. I won't be surprised if she shows some power, be it climbing wall, enhanced strength, or other. Skye will just say "ooh, that's cool" if she shoots fire or something.

 

[nogolf33]

IF she has powers, here are some I DON"T want to see:

She turns into a guy.
She turns into a tree.
Emits gas.

 

[nogolf33]

Assuming they will tease a power for Skye, I'd like to see her become

1. Spider Woman - she already has warped Coulson and Ward's mind with her pheremones. Also it puts a thumb up at Sony who has the rights to Spider-Manchild. Like to see her start with climbing walls or a bio-shock this episode. I think it is possible but not probable this could occur.
2. Sarah Garza - Don't know much about her but cool powers. Could work on TV.
3. Crystal -
4. New character - rather would see a Marvel character.

Jessica's powers didn't work like the way you're describing them. Coulson and Ward would be drooling all over her, more like how Ward was enchanted by Lorelei. And also Simmons and May would have quite an inexplicable aversion towards her, because Spider-Woman's powers made her extremely alluring to males and very creepy towards females.

So... what do we know about Skye?

An object of unknown origin found in Hunan province, China, where SHIELD/HYDRA also had a secret base known as Shangri La. Rescued by a SHIELD team after the entire village was slain.

Her parents are said to be "monsters", and were the ones who destroyed the village. A whole lot of talk about monsters centering on Skye in the finale.

Skye has an inner "darkness" that has yet to be revealed.

Like Raina she is somehow "different" - an "evolution" (watch as they studiously avoid using the word mutant). Inhuman seeming very likely.

Her father is still alive, and, at least his arm, appears human(-ish) though covered in blood. Raina tells him "I found your daughter".

While Spider-Woman can't be completely ruled out, that really doesn't seem the direction they are going anymore. Inhumans seems most likely, or some other form of gifted mutant analog. Alien or alien-hybrid still a possibility too.

 

[Loki882]

I'm thinking Inhuman.

 

[cherokeesam]

I'm thinking Inhuman.

I'm thinking Thomas Nash (of course).
I'm also thinking we might both be right. Nash was -- and still is -- more than meets the eye.

 

[jaqua99]

Skye's dad....evolution...

Jonathan Drew, High Evolutionary.

 

[Gallifreyan]

Can the Inhumans be used in Shield since they're mostly connected to the Fantastic Four ?

Also if Skye is an Inhuman , what or who might Raina be ?

Considering that Kevin Feige has stated in the past that Marvel is interested in making an Inhumans movie, it would seem that they have the rights.

All I know is that however she manifests, we will be gitting a "Dark Skye" element by the end of the midpoint of next season. A lot of Jean Grey aspects with those that love her having to take her down after she goes nutso.

Ok thanks.
So i'm leaning towards Skye and Raine being Inhuman , god knows who Skye's father is though.

Possibly a latent inhuman: Originally there were no Inhumans outside of Attilan, but in the recent Inhuman push in the books (no co-incidence I think) its been revealed (ret-conned) that some had spread from there over the millennia, interbred with normal humans, so there were now loads of latent inhumans living among the general populace all over the place waiting for that gene to be activated by exposure to Terrigen Mists (which happened when Black Bolt & Maximus blew up Attilan over New York).

Raina seems to be looking for the means to activate her own 'inner self' via Centipede, what she thought was the Clairvoyant, and now Skye (who may well be full inhuman, but appears normal atm without being activated by the mists). Skye's daddy could be a transformed inhuman, exiled from wherever the Inhumans are hiding in the MCU. Can't think of any Inhuman who fits that blood dripping hand deal thing though.

One of the new Inhumans is a guy with holes all over his body named Geldhoff.

For what it's worth, one of the villains set up this season (Blizzard) was retconned into an Inhuman in the comics recently. We've sorta kinda had an Inhuman set up on the show already.

I saw a few people say on Twitter that perhaps Raina is Medusa and Skye is Crystal , but wasn't Medusa introduced to the mist at an early age ?
