Anton Ivanov, known to his subordinates as the Superior, is a recurring antagonist in the TV series Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., debuting in Season 4 as its overall secondary antagonist (being the unseen overarching antagonist of the Ghost Rider arc, the secondary antagonist of the LMD arc and a major antagonist in the Agents of HYDRA arc), and a minor antagonist in Season 5.

He is the leader of the notorious Watchdogs whose mission is to wipe out the Inhumans by any means necessary and no matter how brutal. He also vows to kill S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson to avenge the deaths of his S.V.R. teammates. Upon losing a fight to Daisy Johnson/Quake, the L.M.D. Aida stored his head into a container which then controls L.M.D.s of himself. However, he was finally killed by Yo-Yo Rodriguez after she found his head.

He is portrayed by Zach McGowan. This article or section is a stub. You can help by expanding it.
