Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D - The Mystery Formula

In the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D episode "Eye Spy" a formula was reveal to us, a formula that even Fitz and Simmons couldn't figure out.  The team had to send the spec to HQ for them to figure out; we haven't heard anything about the formula since.  I've taken it into deep thought and came up with a theory on what the formula is.

"Miracle" serum:

By "miracle" serum, I mean the serum that gives Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver their powers.  We know that Akela Amador was meant to recieve the formula and she had an eye piece similar to the one Dethlok has.  We've associated those that wear an eye piece to the Clairvoyant, but what if it's Hydra tech, not just the Clairvoyant tech in their heads?  I say this because I do not see where the "Eye Spy" episode connect with the rest of the Clairvoyant heavy episodes.

 

I believe Baron Von Strucker(who was revealed in the mid credit scene of Captain America TWS) was the one manipulating Akela to obtain the formula for the serum.  But wait, isn't Loki scepter what gives them their power?  I don't think so, I believe Strucker figured out how to use the scepter to control the twins.  But why wouldn't he have used the scepter on Akela?  Well the eye implant was put in long before they obtain the scepter.  Couldn't the formula have been the cenepide super soldier serum?  Not likely because Simmons, during a quick look at the serum was able to tell that it was inspired by Erskine super soldier serum.


I know, it's a long shot, but this theory actually came to mind when Strucker was one of my picks for the Clairvoyant.  Anyways, let me know what you think below!

I think saying it's the scepter will be simpler and they'll go with that they wouldn't make their biggest release dependent on the show

I think that they would tie the show into it. Not a central plot point but enough to ware it's much clearer if you watch AoS. I think the formula has something to do with it.

The Clairvoyant is obviously Malcolm Merlyn. He's been playing the team the entire season!

@Bud that would make for a perfect crossover.

Why would the exact same formula give people different powers, instead of giving each person the exact same powers? As far as that goes, how could the sceptre give people powers at all, much less give each person a different power? We've only seen Loki use it to control minds (although he seemed to think it controlled the metaphorical heart) and to shoot energy blasts. It could be that Von Strucker found people born with "gifts," (since they can't say mutants), and got some to "volunteer" to test/use them. His experiments could have been using the sceptre to control them, but since he didn't know how to use it like Loki did, maybe he killed several, destroying their brains instead of just controlling them. Then he finally got it right with the twins. Or he found people with latent powers and was trying to activate them somehow, but killed most in the process. It could be a lot of things, but I doubt that one single formula could be the answer.

@Lhornbk good theory, but just like any substance people put in there bodies, they can have completely different effects than other. The formula could do the same... again just a theory I had, and decided to share.
