History
This Life-Model Decoy was created by Aida on behalf of Dr. Holden Radcliffe to replace Jeffrey Mace, a the de jure director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. While he spent most of his time in the Framework, a vividly realistic simulation of the real world Aida created with the Darkhold, Radcliffe tasked her with replacing many of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top agents with LMDs so they could also be placed in the Framework.[1]
Jeffrey Mace was captured and replaced with an LMD some time after he was captured by Anton Ivanov, and agents Phil Coulson, Leo Fitz, and Alphonso Mackenzie were replaced with LMDs when S.H.I.E.L.D. came to rescue him.[2] Unlike the previous LMD sent to replace Melinda May, these LMDs were aware of their true purpose so they could quickly replace Jemma Simmons and Daisy Johnson with their LMD counterparts.[3]
The LMDs put their plan in motion once they arrived at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters. When two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents discovered the remains of the Leo Fitz LMD, left disabled by Simmons after she discovered he was an impostor, the Mace and Coulson LMDs killed the agents rather than risk exposure. Once it became clear both Simmons and Daisy were aware their friends had been replaced, the LMDs rallied the other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents against them by framing them as the actual LMD impostors. Daisy and Simmons used sleeping gas to harmlessly incapacitate these agents, leaving only the LMDs to stop them.[1]
Daisy charged at the Mace LMD with Mack's shotgun-axe, but shrugged off each shot. The two then fought hand-to-hand, ending up in FitzSimmons' lab. While the fight inevitably exhausted Daisy, the Mace LMD was effortlessly able to continue the fight. Realizing she didn't have much left in her, Daisy used her powers to trip the Mace LMD and stab him in the back with a scalpel, disabling him. The LMD's remains were destroyed when the LMD of Melinda May detonated explosives to prevent the other LMDs from following Daisy and Simmons so they could save their friends.[1]Attributes
