Are we going to get a Bobbi vs Mae throw down next week? I never got into the Shield comics back when I was still reading comics, is there some back story with Hunter that I'm missing?
Actually, Hunter is an invention of the show. Bobbi's (Mockingbird's) comic male counterpart has traditionally been Hawkeye (Clint Barton)...but since he is in the movies they can't bring him into the show in as big a way as a new character. As such I think that the backstory with Hunter is just that they were together...split...and reunited under Coulson's SHIELD.
It should be noted that Mockingbird has never been bad in the comics (that I know of)...so if Gonzalez's SHIELD is claiming to be the "real" one she completely believes it and her suspicion of Coulson keeping secrets comes from a paranoia that's been instilled in her...rather than believing Coulson's team is bad/rotten. She thinks they need to be taken down...not out. As far as I can tell.
I expect the next bit of the season to be a testing ground to prove Gonzalez team is wrong and Coulson's is right...and we need to all remember that Fury (contrary to Gonzalez SHIELD's belief) is totally alive, and endorses Coulson's team over anyone else. So any "we're the REAL SHIELD" nonsense is exactly that. So we actually know from the outset that Gonzalez team is on the wrong footing...and to me I think that either Mac AND Bobbi will see that eventually...or just Bobbi...but it's going to happpen. It just makes me wonder what a SHIELD VS SHIELD throwdown will be like....and if Kirk Avecedo's raspy ass voice gets killed.
