Hmm, you're right. It is. You should investigate that. Perhaps you'll uncover a conspiracy at the evil corporation known as Marvel.

"By the way, you guys. We know how much you love Trip, so we're gonna kill him off soon."

I just might . . . at both Marvel and Mutant Enemy.

Best of luck, then.

Found this bit on Mack in the comics, they've definitely changed quite a bit about him (mainly the fact that he was never a mechanic).

Mysteria

Hmm, interesting.

Well we can assume he'll be around abit more even if just to reveal the thing him and Bobbi have going.

^ I am so curious about that! The show needs to come back already.

Mysteria

I'm definitely curious about that, I would imagine it wouldn't have been brought up the way it was if it wasn't something significant.

indigo sunrise

Yeah I figure it's going to be a major plot point once the show comes back, that throwaway line was a good setup

Mysteria

Definitely a good setup, good everyone curious.

The same here with me as well

DR76

"A bit more"? Does this mean you don't think he'll ever become part of the main cast, as well?

gingerly

Yeah... I don't think his character will be used just to reveal an ongoing mystery (which would make no sense anyway, there are two characters involved in it).

indigo sunrise

There's a part of me that's wondering if they could be setting up a potential spin-off, maybe. If they were to go down that road, Bobbi and Mack would be two great characters to carry over and get people excited. Mockingbird is definitely big enough of a character to carry her own show.

Or if it's not anything like that, I guess it's fair to say either way that they'll get more to do once this new thing takes shape.

gingerly

^ That's definitely my number 1 theory at the moment. There are other organisations like SHIELD in the comics, so it would make sense if they were starting their own organisation.

DR76

I really don't see that happening.

indigo sunrise

Well, they've been dropping a lot of hints that Marvel wants to venture out and do more shows, so never say never

If it's not a spin-off, it could still be a thing that would be introduced in the movies at some point. If they do end up working for something like SWORD or another organisation like that, it would make sense that they'd come into contact with the Avengers too since they still don't know SHIELD even exists at the moment and that Coulson is even alive.

But of course, I'm just thinking out loud since we don't even know what that 'thing' they're doing is about yet SWORD seems likely though, especially because it was in Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men run that it got introduced into the comics in the first place. And it makes sense to get them involved now, since they're borrowing quite a lot for the Inhumans from the X-Men on the show, and with the supposed fall of SHIELD it would be a great reason to get it started.
