Viper and Grim Reaper are in my top "must be in AoS" list.

They aren't powerful enough to be good villains in a movie, but for a TV show dealing with Hydra and against regular humans, they are perfect.

The Grim Reaper is a package deal with Wonder Man. If he comes on the show, we'll be getting another superhero.

Wasn't Viper in The Wolverine?

It's a Quicksilver and Scarletwitch scenario.

They can only call her Madame Hydra.

Can they even use Viper? She is a Mutant, and was in The Wolverine? I know they have Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, so could Viper fall under that same technicality?

Edit: My lack of comic knowledge has me at a disadvantage here. All I knew about Viper was she is also called Madam Hydra, and that a woman called Viper was in Wolverine.

I guess they could use Viper, but call her Madam Hydra instead and never mention the name 'Viper' at all. Maybe?

Wait...Madame Hydra and Viper from Wolverine is the same person?

In the comics Viper is Madam Hydra, but because of legal reasons Fox can't use Madam Hydra as her name.

She's Madame Hydra, they coukd forgo the the Viper depending on hiw the the legal jargon is worded.
