Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Who is J. August Richards playing? (part 2)

     I just read this IGN article and had another idea instantly spring to mind, seeing as he's surely not Luke Cage.  But first, here's the sippet that gave me the idea:

IGN: And I’ve got to ask about J. August Richards…

Bell: Killed it! He’s so good. He’s so good, because we were looking for this character M-- I almost said his name. It’s not the one people are talking about.
[Editor's Note: Yes, it kind of sounded like Bell was about to say a name beginning with an M... but maybe he just made a strong "HMM" sound when he stopped himself! Ah, so much to ponder.]

IGN: He’s not! So I’m going to say Luke Cage, and you’re going to say...

Bell: I’m going to say that’s an interesting Marvel character, but no. But he came in and killed it. Honestly, we were looking for this part, and we just said, look, all our parts are open to all diversity. So the fact that we have a black dude who is awesome and it's J, was just because he was the best actor. It wasn’t like, “You know who…!”
 

      How about Mahr Vehl or more likely, due to his age, Marvel Boy (Noh-Varr). He has the alien tech, and displays powers that are similar. The quotes above kind of made me wonder what typically white characters could've been changed, and Marvel Boy sprang to mind.
     It would also explain the confusion he shows when asking, "I should carry a shield?"  It seems like the woman he's speaking to is a conspiracy theorist, and Mahr Vehl is an alien.  In the comics he is chased by the government and S.H.I.E.L.D.- so it seems a HIGHLY likely possibility.  More so now than when I thought it would've been Patriot from Young Avengers.  Although that is still plausible.
