Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: First Familiar Marvel Name Turns Up

Earlier today, Marvel released the official episode description for the third episode of their forthcoming ABC series Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., in which a scientist appears whose name might strike comic book fans as familiar…

“The Asset” – When the brilliant scientist, Dr. Franklin Hall, is kidnapped, Agent Coulson and his S.H.I.E.L.D. agents must race against the clock to locate him. Skye is their only way in–pushing the team to their limits when the entire plan turns upside-down”

Hall is, of course, the supervillain Graviton, given powers in an accident in the lab–which may be what happens when the plan turns upside-down, if I’m guessing.If I were guessing, I’d also say that Ian Hart is the odds-on favorite to play the character; he was already confirmed as having joined the cast as an unidentified scientist.
