– Lash (who is named for the first time) is shown to be associated with a sad sack named Dwight Frye. Rather than straight-up come up with a 100% new character name for someone who will only get a few minutes of screentime before being murdered, the show’s writers scraped not only the bottom of the barrel of Marvel, but practically underneath it. Dwight Frye is the name of Bazooka, a character from Marvel’s New Universe continuity who only has a couple appearances to his name (tending to show up in the series DP7).

On the surface, comics Frye is as different as you can get from his TV counterpart. On the show, Frye is a small, timid, white guy who works in IT who acts as a beacon to other Inhumans. In the comics, Frye is a massive, black, military man with a very short temper and the ability to shoot blasts from his hands. Other than the fact that their powers appear to physically scar them, the main thing that links them is their origins. In the New Universe, there was this big cosmic happening called the White Event that caused random people all around the world to suddenly gain super powers all at once and the various comics were based on what happens next, especially in terms of the government’s military actions. Sounds kind of fitting for this season of Agents of SHIELD.

– Lash having a human form is a new development. There’s been no suggestion that he has the ability to transform in the comics, although he’s not quite as freaky-looking, so it’s not as necessary.

Agents of SHIELD Season 3 Episode 5: 4,722 Hours

– Will Daniels doesn’t appear to be anyone pre-existing from the comic book Marvel Universe. Then again, he may not have been 100% honest about his identity.

– After months of speculation of whether Simmons was on a Kree or even Skrull planet, it turned out to be something else completely. Other than some less-intelligent creatures, it’s almost completely empty. More importantly, it seems to be almost sentient. Like it’s some kind of…living planet, if you will.
