Agents of SHIELD has only revealed the tip of the Hive iceberg.

Grant Ward's (Brett Dalton) body has a brand new host, and all anyone seems to know is that this new player is one sinister Inhuman. Back from his centuries-long stint on Maveth, Hive spent the midseason premiere recovering. Now, however, it looks as if the baddie is ready to put his powers to the test.

Watch Hive go head-to-head with the Columbian Inhuman, Lucio (Gabriel Salvador) in an "Inside Man" sneak peek.


What can't this guy do?

"You get the sense that he's dangerous and definitely something new," executive producer Jed Whedon told The Hollywood Reporter. "In the coming episodes, you'll get a bit more of a sense of the logistics of him taking over a body and how that works. But he's a powerful baddie and he's lived for thousands of years on a planet with hardly anything there. He'll prove hard to best."

It's a good thing Coulson (Clark Gregg) is currently in the dark about Hive's arrival. The Director has a lot on his plate, and "Inside Man" will give him a second helping of trouble.

"Coulson and General Talbot are forced to team up and attend a worldwide symposium on Inhumans, where they suspect Malick has an inside man," ABC teased. "As the S.H.I.E.L.D. team gets closer to the truth, an unexpected traitor is revealed."
