Of course, Daisy is possessed by the Hive entity and now completely controlled by Ward.

Sadly, the recruitment doesnt go very well.

But Simmons has big brains and balls of steel as she empties her side arm in Wards gut.

Heck, this years mid-season felt very paint by numbers.

Speaking of high stakes, this week might have seen the end of HYDRA.

But this episodes main event is the new and deeply disturbing bond between Ward and Daisy.

The two have had a complex relationship since day one, but now they are on the same page.

Anything that leads to Machinesmith, Machine Man, or Jocasta is OK in my book.

Speaking of Machine Man, you know where the character of Holden Radcliffe is originally from?

Take my hand now, this is a deep dive.

Holden Radcliffe was created by writer Mark Sumerak and artist Mike Hawthorne in 2005sMachine Teen#1.

He was a pretty minor adversary and one really has to wonder why Marvel went so obscure with Radcliffe.

Why not just make up a character?

I mean Machine Teen?
