If so, I wonder if they will actually call him that, or just Andreas Strucker or something. I've heard some people say that Andy and Lauren are supposed to be loosely based on Fenris. It is heavily implied. The most recent episode (which is only #2 FWIW) ended with Garret Dillahunt's Roderick Campbell asking his assistant to pull up files about an event involving mutant siblings in the 1960s because he thinks there's a connection to the Strucker children's case. The last shot of the episode is on a newspaper clipping about two blonde, mutant twins of European descent devastating Rio. And other parts of the episode allude to Reed having a complicated relationship with his father who lives in isolation near Chattanooga (a city in Tennessee not far from the show's Atlanta setting) - details I figure are only there because we're going to meet his father at some point.
