去年秋天的剧《神盾局特工》第三季，在神盾和重组的九头蛇之间出现了戏剧性的季中结局。战役巧妙的在不列颠古堡和Maveth星球之间转换。这一集填了第三季前半部分不同故事线的许多坑并给一个关键人物(沃德)一个定钉的结局。按《神盾局特工》的套路会有一个强力的回转，结果令人惊讶的弄出另一个大反派。

　　尽管关于这个“僵尸沃德”爆料很少，但是很多粉丝还是有着自己的理论：格兰特·沃德(Grant Ward/Brett Dalton饰演)既神秘Maveth星球的怪兽也是原漫威漫画中的人物。然而，神盾局其中的一个演员透露出了一个熟悉的神秘勇士的名字。

　　这种角色的大转变对沃德这个角色已经不是第一次了，在第一季末了解到他秘密的为九头蛇工作，承担了一个是叛徒而不是队友的角色。在几次队伍作战时他也起到很大的作用，他最近的一次背叛就是杀死了科尔森(Coulson/Greg Clark饰演)的爱人罗萨琳德·普莱斯(Rosalind Price/Constance Zimmer饰演)——这给局长科尔森想立马永远的解决掉曾经自己的门徒沃德。

　　CBR(comic book resource)报道：剧中扮演特工珍玛·西蒙斯(Jemma Simmons)的伊丽莎白·亨斯屈奇(Elizabeth Henstridge)在波兰 Wizard World漫展讨论了沃德的转变并揭露原漫画的角色——一个叫Hive的神秘勇士。关于剧里不断的转变的情况，亨斯屈奇说：

　　“…现在沃德是Hive了并有着原来的杀人的记忆，所以后面会有很有趣的情景出现。”

　　在神秘勇士漫画里面，Hive是一个寄生虫生物由九头蛇资助来增强自己吸收宿主的能力。亨斯屈奇的评论预示着剧里对Maveth星球怪兽的能力解释与原漫画Hive的能力相符，并创造出更多的关于这个新异人类的情节。

　　在黛西(Daisy/Chloe Bennet饰演)的异人类队伍成立后，一个新的带着熟脸的反派是本剧进入后半段内容的主要对手。在沃德和黛西一系列的复杂感情之后，这还是挺让人满意的继续探索在沃德转变之后，还能带给两个角色什么样复杂故事。他的角色一直处于灰色地带，所以Hive能吸收记忆的能力对重获良心是一个危险的武器或者是手段。

　　The Fall 2015 finale of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 3 delivered a dramatic clash between the team and their enemy, the reformed Hydra. The battle effectively switched between action in an ancient British castle and the alien planet Maveth. The episode drew together and resolved several of the various storylines covered in the first half of season 3 and brought a deadly conclusion to a key character. In typical S.H.I.E.L.D. style this conclusion came with a powerful twist, resulting in the surprise creation of a new villain.

　　Although little has been revealed about the new powerful alien/human hybrid, many fans have formed theories about how the villain formerly known as Grant Ward (Brett Dalton) and the mysterious Maveth “Beast” would tie into the comic book material. However, one of the show’s stars has just let this intriguing information slip, dropping the name of a familiar Secret Warriors character.

　　This metamorphosis is not the first time that Ward’s character has undergone a massive change, as he was revealed to be secretly working for Hydra at the end of season 1, taking on the role of nemesis instead of teammate. He has played a major part in several of the team’s conflicts, his most recent betrayal being the revenge killing of Coulson’s (Greg Clark) love interest Rosalind Price (Constance Zimmer) — an act which sent the Director on a mission to finish his onetime protege for good, leaving him for dead in the vicinity of a body-snatching alien entity looking for a new host.

　　CBR reported that Elizabeth Henstridge, who plays Agent Jemma Simmons on the show, has discussed Ward’s transformation at Wizard World Portland today and revealed the comic book roots of his new identity — a Secret Warriors character named Hive. With regard to the show’s constantly transforming circumstances, Henstridge said: “…and now Ward is Hive and takes on the memories of people he’s killed, so that’s going to have some interesting situations.”Within the Secret Warriors comic, Hive is a parasite collective genetically engineered by Hydra that increase the strength and absorb the memories of a human host body. Henstridge’s comment suggests the show has adapted this ability to fit with their interpretation of the Maveth creature and create a more compelling plot device for this new Inhuman character.

　　With Daisy’s (Chloe Bennet) Inhuman team now official, a new villain merged with an old one seems a fitting adversary for the show’s narrative going forward into the season’s second half. As Ward and Daisy have arguably had the most complex of the series’ character arcs, it would be satisfying to explore the new conflicts Ward’s transformation will bring for these characters and their complicated history. His character has always been a moral grey area and the ability to absorb memories could be a dangerous weapon and/or a device for gaining a conscience.

　　Although teased in a recent promo, it is not yet known how much of Ward’s personality will be present in his new form and where the creators intend to go with this plotline – but seeing where the character’s origin comes from, this is a tantalizing new development for fans waiting for S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s return.
