Summary
A sanctioned reason is give for Phil Coulson ’s hesitance to take over his own hero name inBlack Widow : Venomous#1 by Erica Schultz , Luciano Vecchio , David Curiel , Rachelle Rosenberg , and VC ’s Ariana Maher . patently , Phil Coulson enjoys the underestimation that comes with namelessness , and he enjoy it far too much to draw attention to himself with a codename .
Coulson ’s abstract thought is tactical , and it not only makes utter sensory faculty , but it ’s worked as foolproof both in the comics and on the bounteous concealment .
Phil Coulson Doesn’t Want a Codename
It’s a Smart Strategy
Both Black Widow and Phil Coulson have been going through some extraordinary changes as of later . Natasha Romanoff has produce her own symbiote , transforming into simply Widow , a fitting codename to equalize her new powers . Meanwhile , Coulson has returned from the numb as thekeeper of the Death Stone , and thus , will take the Infinity Watchas a effect of the power he now holds . Yet , no matter how much power he has now , he has no raw costume or codename to reflect his great power . He still sports the same lawsuit , affiliation , and collar combo with a combover .
obviously , this is all by design , as Phil Coulson does n’t want the gaudery and circumstance that come with being a superpowered entity . In his eyes , such pomp and circumstance is what befell figures like James Bond . Rather than be jazzy , he ’d rather commingle in and let his enemies underestimate him , allowing him to strike when his opposer least look him . Then , he can showcase what he can do before anyone assumes he ’s capable of doing anything . That is where his dead on target might come from , as far as Coulson is concerned .
Coulson Repeats a Strategy That’s Worked in the Past
As a Hero and a Villain
Playing the unassuming role has worked well for Phil Coulson on both sides of the fence already , not just as a skilled heroic agent , but during his villain running game inHeroes Reborn . His villain days are long behind him , but his villain bout was a successful one for him because no one expect someone like him to go bad . If it has worked in the yesteryear , then playing unassuming will only continue to be all the more fruitful now that he has king . Just like he caught Loki off guard and blast him with a gun in theMCU ’s firstAvengersmovie , Phil Coulson’sreal power will allow him to unleash his superpowers when everyone least expects it .
