In other media
An Inhuman version of the character J.T. Slade/Hellfire appears in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., played by Axle Whitehead.[4][5][6] James was a former mercenary and demolitions expert who was kicked out of Afterlife by Jiaying for breaking into her archives. He first appeared in the episode "Paradise Lost" where Daisy Johnson and Lincoln Campbell seek him out where he had the Kree Orb that was previously used on Hive. After speaking to James, Lincoln took the Kree Orb and the Terrigen Crystal away from James as they left with James reminding Lincoln on how he killed his first girlfriend with his electrical powers. In the episode "The Singularity," Hive in Grant Ward's body had Daisy take him to James's house. After James commented on how even Jiaying was afraid of Hive, Daisy dropped a Terrigen Crystal near James who starts to finally go through his Terrigenesis. He emerged from the cocoon where he discovered that he gained the ability to charge anything up for a fiery explosion. Upon Hive using his abilities to get James on his side, he assisted them into going to Romania to obtain Holden Radcliffe. Before Alisha Whitley made off with Holden, James briefly engaged Al MacKenzie in battle before retreating. Sometime later at a town that Hive bought with Gideon Malick's money, James tells Alisha that he has settled on the name Hellfire.
