"When the brilliant scientist, Dr. Franklin Hall, is kidnapped, Agent Coulson and his S.H.I.E.L.D. agents must race against the clock to locate him. Skye is their only way in--pushing the team to their limits when the entire plan turns upside-down."
In the comic books, Dr. Franklin Hall is a physicist who finds himself able to manipulate gravity after an accident sees his body merged with graviton particles. He made his first appearance in Avengers #158 in 1977 and has previously appeared on the small screen in a two-part episode of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes entitled 'The Breakout.'
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. gets underway next week, with a cast that includes Clark Gregg (Agent Phil Coulson), Ming-Na Wen (Agent Melinda May), Brett Dalton (Agent Grant Ward), Iain De Caestecker (Agent Leo Fitz), Elizabeth Henstridge (Agent Jemma Simmons) and Chloe Bennet (Skye).
