In this week’s episode it was confirmed via flashback that he is named Gordon was taken in by Skye’s mother shortly after his transformation. It was a tender, tragic moment as the changed man kept teleporting uncontrollably and couldn’t understand why he could not see anything. Continue reading AGENTS OF SHIELD’S EYELESS MYSTERY MAN
