Speculation has been running rampant since the reveal of the blue guy in a tub on Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Is the water just blue? Is the alien blue? Is it even an alien? So what exactly is going on around here?
Things we know:
- Coulson died and was operated on/brought back
- Fury went to great lengths to hide the truth from Coulson
- Coulson has been "re-mapped"
- Skye's mother died and she came from somewhere possibly off Earth
- Blue guy in a tube with markings close to Kree promo pics from Guardians on the Galaxy
- Kree mentioned on AoS and known to be in Guardians of the Galaxy
- Vial said GH.325
One of the more popular and, in my opinion, most logical theory is that the blue guy was Kree. Many reasons for this can range from the blue skin to the "X" markings on the body. More important than this is that Guardians of the Galaxy is a gamble from Marvel Studios. The characters are relatively unknown to the general audience and so bringing the Kree into the AoS gets them an introduction to the general audience.
All of this brings me to my final point. On another editorial here, a user, Killuminatic, posted this in the comments section:
Notice the name? I googled that name and saw that it's the name of Mahr-Vehl, who is the Ultimate version of 616 Mar-Vell (aka: Captain Marvel). What I also noticed on the wiki site was that the comic he was introduced in came out in March, 2005. Seeing that the vial was labeled as GH.325 I can see that meaning Geheneris HalaSon with the 3 standing for March and the 25 standing for 2005 (just omitting the zeros).
Sure this could be a large stretch, but I thought it was interesting and coincidental and wanted to expand on or give more credence to Killuminatic's comment.
Additionally, Mahr-Vehl's secret identity on Earth was named Dr, Philip Lawson and was working in a laboratory. Phillip Coulson could possibly be the MCU's version of this by either being a project of Mahr-Vehl's, which would mean the lab they invaded was Kree/SHIELD, or perhaps he is Mahr-Vehl himself, mind transferred into Coulson's body.
If that is true, then perhaps the drug given to Skye will wake up some latent abilities to turn her into either Spider-Woman or Ms. Marvel as others have speculated.
Finally we have this image:
Anyone who has more knowledge of the cosmic side of Marvel, are you able to shed light or possibilities for what the other initials/letters could mean? Sound off with your thoughts below!
