New AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Synopsis Hints That We Might Just See Director Mace Suit Up As "The Patriot"
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns from its winter hiatus in January, and this synopsis for the second episode back suggests we could be seeing Jeffrey Mace take on the mantle on The Patriot. Take a look...
We correctly guessed that the new Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. director would be based on '40s era Marvel Comics hero The Patriot a while before Jeffrey Mace (Jason O'Mara) made his debut on the show, but so far there hasn't been any indication that he ever actually fought under that mantle.
However, the second episode back just so happens to be titled "The Patriot", and based on what we learn from the synopsis below, that could well mean we'll get to see Mace suit-up.
Episode 4.10 - The Patriot
Coulson and Mack discover a shocking secret about Mace, which leaves all of S.H.I.E.L.D. in a dangerous position.
Guests: Jason O'Mara, Mallory Jansen, Adrian Pasdar, Maximilian Osinski, Patrick Cavanaugh, Troy Caylak, Kimberley Drummond, Shelly Robertson, Alastair Bayardo
The small-screen version of Mace is a lot different to his comic book counterpart (he's an Inhuman, for one), so even if S.H.I.E.L.D. does go this route there will almost certainly be some liberties taken with his superhero alter-ego, too. The character did sport a costume of sorts in the midseason finale, but could we see the addition of a mask, perhaps?
Tell us, do you think this means fans will see Mace in full-on Patriot mode, or will this just set something up for a later episode? Sound off below.
