Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross
Likely Suspects to Be Power Broker
In case you’ve forgotten about this mustachioed, Hulk-obsessed fella we all just love to hate, let’s remember that Thunderbolt Ross has always had a bone to pick with the Avengers. Having not been seen on screen since the funeral of Tony Stark, Secretary Ross was instrumental in the enforcement of the Sokovia Accords that sent the superhero community into a tailspin in Civil War.
Ross has a history of chasing the super-soldier serum in his efforts to combat the Hulk, so he certainly has some history with the super-soldier serum. While he hasn’t arrived on the series yet, it would be hard to believe that he does not have some hand in manipulating either the Flag Smashers or the operations of John Walker, a.k.a Captain America.
It’s even unclear if Ross has been away for the past five years with half the world’s population. If not, then what exactly has he been up to all this time? Maybe he’s been brokering some deals that’ll help him accumulate power?
