Tobias Ford

Tobias Ford was a technician at StatiCorp. He was seemingly killed in a laboratory accident; however, Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons have confirmed that Ford is somehow caught between two worlds.

Biography
While performing his duties at StatiCorp, Ford met and developed a crush on safety inspector Hannah Hutchins. In order to get Hutchins to visit his section, he would loosen the bolts on a coupling and then file a safety complaint.

One time, he was loosening the bolts and caused a Particle Accelerator explosion that killed three other people (Jack Benson, Frank Delacourt, and Arlene Willoughby) which caused a portal to another world to briefly open. Ford was drawn through the portal and became stuck in-between this world and a world Ford described as "Hell".

Ford was able to observe the happenings in this world and was able to partially manifest and manipulate items. The townspeople blamed Hutchins for the explosion and when the operator of a Roxxon gas station confronted her, Ford defended Hutchins the only way he could, by hurling objects at the clerk and manipulating the gas pumps to blow up the station.

A mob soon formed outside of Hutchins' home and Ford started a police car and attempted to run over a member of the mob. Believing Hutchins to be behind the mysterious incidents (however involuntarily), she was taken into protective custody by a S.H.I.E.L.D. team led by Phil Coulson.

Ford followed Coulson's Team to the Bus, where he sought to free Hutchins from their custody. After Ford caused the Bus to crash, Hutchins was led from the scene by Melinda May, hoping Ford would follow.

Ford did follow, and after a brief altercation with May, Ford asked Hutchins for forgiveness, only for her to tell him that only God could forgive him. May convinced him that he had to let Hutchins go and Ford withdrew to the alien world on which he was trapped.
