There was a pretty cool “reveal” towards the end of last night’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – SPOILERS AHEAD! As Agent Phil Coulson tries to find out how he was brought back to life in the hope of saving the life of his protege Skye – using some of those means – he and his team infiltrate the “Guest House”, a remote facility which only Level 10 SHIELD agents should have access to, which they also point out is not a SHIELD facility. They’re trying to find a substance – GH 325 – and they do. But Coulson decides to go further and go behind a hatch marked T.A.H.I.T.I. to find the source of the serum, and he finds the floating torso of the Blue Guy:

All the tubes that extract the sera lead back to two tubes coming from the floating torso. Somehow, they’re harvesting his bodily fluids – or something. So who is the blue guy?

My theory? Somehow, the operators of the facility have acquired a Kree… one of the advanced alien races of the Marvel Universe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kree. Our floater reminded me – in a way – of the Kree Supreme Intelligence:

We can be pretty sure the Kree will be showing up in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, as Ronan the Accuser – a Kree, at least in the comic books – is a major character. So perhaps this is a way to begin to introduce the aliens? On the other hand, my buddy Bill Gladman thinks the floater could be an Atlantean (http://ow.ly/uhPWG), specifically the character U-Man – an Atlantean named Merrano: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-Man. But I’m hoping it’s a Kree.
