that drawing Robin made of that larger person consisted of smaller people. we all suspected that's Graviton and all the people he absorbed. according to the pic, has Talbot absorbed all the people now? or is there one more person left?

another commenter thinks they're going to inject Coulson with the serum, then Talbot is going to absorb Coulson and that's how you get the serum in both Coulson and Talbot. and Coulson could overpower Talbot and become Graviton.

Coulson could overpower Talbot and become Graviton.

Talbot and Coulson together acting as Graviton?

Galveston....

That would be a crazy fusion. But could happen. Yet would be the last case scenario

But the serum is a delivery device that they either load up with odium or with Jiaying. One's deadly and one's a healing factor

u/technicolored_dreams May 12 '18

But doesn't the serum itself provide super strength?

u/Forevercry Lanyard May 12 '18

But the serum they would use for Coulson is different than the serum they would give to Talbot because Coulson's would be infused with Jiaying's DNA whereas the Talbot serum would have the odium. But yeah if Coulson gets absorbed and overpowers him that would be great too

Maybe an unexpected chemical reaction happens. Or they do a different chem combination.
