It remains to be seen whether we’ll see Mace suit up as Patriot again in the back half of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4.
Now, though it was unclear of Mace would ever suit up as Patriot on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the show’s midseason finale features just that.
Additionally, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. put a new twist on the character of Jeffrey Mace; though the comic book version of Mace was an athlete and skilled fighter, the live-action Director is an Inhuman with super-strength.
His first name was revealed in the second episode, ‘Meet the New Boss‘, hinting that the character was based on the comic character Jeffrey Mace aka Patriot, before it was officially confirmed by Marvel.
