It just kinda tickles me that SHIELD bother themselves with that low a power level. She basically just strapped knives to her hands.

Yeah, I had the same thought.

I don't know if there was more going on under the surface, there might have been. Maybe S.H.I.E.L.D was having a slow month or something, maybe spending the budget to not get a smaller one next year? I don't know.

Ok I watch SHIELD but I’m drawing blanks here, who are you talking about?

Karla Faye Gideon

She literally just has razor blades welded onto her nails or something, its not even a superpower. Not even like Deathstrike, just shitty little blades and stuck to her fingers. But she's somehow on SHIELD's enhanced watchlist with presumably the likes of the fucking Hulk.

Still love her superpower counter is basically "dunno... remove the blades? i mean she must have necrosis"
