For fans of comic books, science fiction, unsolved mysteries, and time-travel stories, here's a thought for you: Have you ever noticed a striking similarity between the official FBI sketches of DB Cooper and the fictional Director Phil Coulson, as played by actor Clark Gregg?
That, arguably, could be fodder for an interesting story, permitting the crossover of fantasy & reality, as well as possibly permitting an even further temporal excursion into the realm of another Marvel hit, Agent Carter.
Here's the scenario: someone (or several persons) make the connection between the images, and determines it is evidence of unauthorized temporal tampering or an effort to fix something integral to rebuilding a secure, waiting-in-the-wings cache of S.H.I.E.L.D. resources necessary to thwart some future Hydra threat. It also opens up the possibility for a "Hopscotch" - Coulson could have more than one stop in his temporal transit: he might also (inadvertently?) meet up with Agent Carter before returning to the present day. (Maybe the first attempt to get to her, to learn or obtain something crucial as well as plant a seed for the future, results in the DB Cooper jump...Coulson needs the resources in short order so that he can finish his journey back to see/interact with Carter...
Whatcha think?
