![]() Sensing the heroes’ arrival, Karli gives the order for the GRC chamber to be gassed, forcing an evacuation - right into the path of a masked goon. As Bucky arrives on the scene, an incoming Sam radios him to say he sent for backup, in the form of Sharon Carter. The episode “One World, One People” picked up right where last week left off, with the GRC’s meeting/vote on global resettlement sent into turmoil by the Flag Smashers. In fact, Secret Invasion ties a bunch of these theories together.The Falcon and the Winter Soldier‘s finale staged a final showdown with Karli and the Flag Smashers, before teasing “weird” things ahead in the MCU (as well as a new title for any possible Season 2). One that we know from future show announcements is coming, in the form of the Nick Fury-centric Secret Invasion on Disney+. Osborn became the head of the Marvel clandestine services by winning the war against…an invading Skrull army. However, he might be closer to the real answer than one would think. To introduce him as something else would be a betrayal of the character. He’s done a lot of other stuff (see above), but the core of his existence is as a Spidey bad. ![]() Norman Osborn is the Green Goblin, the most important Spider-Man villain in comics. Well I’ll tell you why not: it would be a waste. Speaking of Dark Avengers, why not the boss of the Dark Avengers himself, Norman Osborn? Real Avengers heads remember the time Osborn took the reins of the Marvel clandestine community and formed his own agency (H.A.M.M.E.R.) and his own Avengers team made of dark analogues of the New Avengers (Bullseye for Hawkeye, Venom for Spider-Man, Daken for Wolverine, among many others). Julia Louis-Dreyfuss’ cameo was one of the most entertaining parts of the entire show, and Countess Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine’s history in Marvel’s covert services in the comics makes it extremely possible that she’s on the other end of Sharon’s phone. Countess Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine And it would make the apparent “Red Skull gas” that Sharon hit the Flag-Smasher agent with make a little more sense. They’re very tied to the Winter Soldier and Sharon’s stories they’re currently relevant in the comics and they fit in with the mass of faceless but vaguely evil oligarchs running the GRC in FWS. This would be a hell of a way to introduce clan Lukin to the MCU, but it isn’t impossible to believe. ![]() A former partner of Sharon Carter, Alexa leaves the group when the Cold War sets, and after Hydra’s Secret Empire fails, she uses her new group of bastard oligarchs, the Power Elite, to try and take down America, only to be fought by the current incarnation of the Daughters of Liberty – Sharon Carter, the Invisible Woman, Echo, Misty Knight, and others (This is happening in Ta-Nehisi Coates’ somehow underrated run on Captain America, which you should definitely read). By Lukin’s wife, Alexa.Īlexa turned out to be a remarkably long-lived ex-Daughter of Liberty, the group of badass women soldiers fighting for the Allies in World War II. In the struggle, the Skull was absorbed first into the Cube, then into Lukin.Ī lot of story happens after that (including Sharon shooting Cap on the steps of the US Capitol Building), but it ends with both Lukin and the Skull dead. He was a high-ranking Russian intelligence official who reactivated the Winter Soldier to kill the Red Skull, in an effort to try and steal the Skull’s Cosmic Cube. Obviously, this is going to have big repercussions for the MCU moving forward.īut what could it really mean? Who is Sharon working for or with? Let’s run down the possibilities… Alexander/Alexa LukinĪlexander Lukin is the Russian general created by Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting in the same Marvel Comics story that reintroduced Bucky as the Winter Soldier. Sharon is one of the Marvel Universe’s premiere superspies, up there with Nick Fury himself as someone who’s capable of showing four different people four different loyalties in the same room and getting away with it. This isn’t an unprecedented situation, though. She accepts, leaves the hearing, and puts a call into….someone…very excited about her pending access to a wealth of government secrets. Senator Government Official (no, seriously, he’s credited as “Government Official” in the credits), the unnamed, definitely not Senator Kelly guy who has been moving the plot forward all show, sits in an extremely insecure presumably Intelligence Committee hearing room and offers Sharon a full pardon, and her old job in intelligence back. Sharon Carter is back, and she’s apparently flipped on the United States.Īt the end of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier episode 6, Sharon finally gets her pardon. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is over and it ended with one doozy of a post-credits scene. This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 6 spoilers.
