THE SECRET ORIGIN OF MELINDA MAY IS REVEALED, ON "MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D."

Blair Underwood Guest Stars as Dr. Andrew Garner

"Melinda" - The story of Melinda May's transformation into "The Cavalry" is revealed as she finds herself at a crossroads in the war between Coulson and Gonzales. As Skye learns more about her true heritage from Lincoln, the truth about the Inhumans will send her in a new direction, on "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," TUESDAY, APRIL 14 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

After helping to thwart Hydra, Agent Phil Coulson was appointed as Director and tasked with rebuilding the agency. Agent Melinda May, expert pilot, martial artist and longtime friend, will continue to look after Coulson in the wake of the mysterious etchings he's been carving into walls. Grant Ward, highly trained in combat and espionage, was found to be a Hydra mole and a traitor to S.H.I.E.L.D. and locked up away from the world and his former teammates. But this isn't the last we've seen of him... After being left to die in the middle of the ocean by Ward, Agent Leo Fitz, brilliant engineer, and Agent Jemma Simmons, genius bio-chemist, found a way to escape their watery grave. But all did not go well for Fitz, who was left in a coma and may never regain his full cognitive functions; a devastating blow to Simmons. And computer hacker Skye, now a full-fledged S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, discovered her origins as a 0-8-4 — an object of unknown origin — and that her parents were considered "monsters." Could Skye have darkness lying dormant inside of her? Also joining Coulson's core team is Lance Hunter, a dashing mercenary sharp shooter with a quick wit. Since he didn't rise up through the ranks, does he have an ulterior motive for helping out the team.

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. features:
Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson
Ming-Na Wen as Melinda May
Brett Dalton as Grant Ward
Chloe Bennet as Skye
Iain De Caestecker as Leopold "Leo" Fitz
Elizabeth Henstridge as Jemma Simmons
Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill
Nick Blood as Lance Hunter
Adrianne Palicki as Bobbi Morse/Mockingbird
Henry Simmons as Alphonso "Mack" Mackenzie
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns April 14

"I dont understand why anyone likes her. Such a bland character, and not even that good at whooping ass believably."

"not even that good at whooping ass believably"

"not even that good at whooping ass"

Take it back , you crazy SoB.

Pretty cool. May has always been one of my favourite characters, and Ming-Na is spectacular. Doesn't look like she's aged a day since Street Fighter.

superotherside - 4/9/2015, 11:04 AM

If it's anything like the Secret Origin of Felicity Smoak it should be good.

Oh wait...

;P

In all seriousness though, May has been one of my favorite characters.

Darkjedi41 - 4/9/2015, 11:06 AM

I hope this lives up to the hype, I think it would have been better as one of those things they never really tell you what happened.

Badmuffin - 4/9/2015, 11:09 AM

Why do they call her the cavalry? Because when she is blowing the trumpet, millions of soliders comes charging.
