The only problem is, why would they make Chucks father be Orion who is later known as Mr. X. If Mr. X had a bigger badder rep than Orion what would be the point? It would be nice to see Chucks father back though, he really made the show in a way I can’t explain, but it was already announced last summer that he wasn’t coming back at all this season, that they were going to leave him dead at least for now. Ellie does seem like the obvious Mr. X choice though. I can’t see them bringing in a new character this late in the game expecting us to magically fall head over heels even if it was something as radical as Chucks twin brother, Sarahs Sister/Mother, etc. Has to be someone we know already.

He was Patient X in Season 1

His name was Armand, and when I rewatch the scene where Volkoff reads his screen and it says Orion I still get chills. Sometimes my eyes even water. I was hoping he was still alive. I believe that he is. Remember that he was shot mere feet from the lab where Shaw was brought back from the light. Saying all of this, I agree Mel, I think that Agent X is Papa B, and Elle may have “reactivated” him with her research. If he isn’t, I think that it is Chuck.

Maybe they’ve hired a new actor to guest star in the role.

In my opinion it would be better than having Chuck, Orion or Ellie being Agent X.

I’m still betting that Agent X is Orion.

I mean, think about it. In Push Mix, Volkoff was terrified that Orion may still be alive, so terrified he took Frost to the Contessa and had that other guy (forget his name) track down where Orion was hiding, and now this “Agent X” is “the only person Volkoff was ever afraid of?”

Seems way too coincidental. Sure, Orion died, but no one really ever stays dead in the sci-fi world. Remember the golden rule: no one’s really ever dead unless you actually confirm it (i.e., funeral with visible body, check for pulse, etc.), and Orion’s death was not “confirmed.”
