PHIL COULSON IS AN IMMORTAL SUPER SOLDIER

Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg), everyone’s favorite S.H.I.E.L.D. agent (sorry, Hawkeye), has been a rabid source of debate ever since his “death” in The Avengers. An emotional highpoint of the rip-roaring original, it was a gutsy move that was retracted for the small screen when he reappeared in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. But even with a decently believable resurrection story and furthered development, much of Phil’s back history remains shrouded in mystery. Some think they’ve cracked the Coulson case, however, by chalking his survival up to certified Super Soldier skills.

This theory suggests that we spot Coulson as the little boy with the Cap shield in The First Avenger, a superfan from the very start. But with Steve Rogers presumed dead and the government looking to replicate such success, Phil would’ve certainly attempted to honor his hero and become a Super Soldier just like him. As such, some believe Coulson to be a brainwashed superhuman, sort of an Autumn Soldier to Bucky’s bleakWinter. Either way, that vintage card collection is freaking sweet.
