But Christian doesn’t have any links to Hydra, and it would be redundant if he did... I headcanoned some adaptation of him into the family but I think he’d be a separate character to Christian Ward in the MCU. I mean, I’ve adapted him into my headcanon as a relative (another possible uncle) but I don’t think he’s supposed to be Christian. Just as Grant is possibly not the first operative in his family Christian is probably not the first politician. And as it would be reasonable to wonder just what is with my bizarre fixation with uncles, aunts, cousins, whatever... With all the building up, and holding out, and Kennedy comparisons since the beginning, I would be pretty disappointed if it were ultimately just a basic saga about two parents, four children, and a grandmother. I want to see who they are and how they’re viewed in the MCU and I feel as if done right they could be an endless resource for the writers in terms of potential allies, enemies, Inhuman consultants (poor Elliott Randolph being threatened whenever he’s needed by S.H.I.E.L.D.), whatever. But it’s probably imagining too much when we’ve gone this long without the basics.

(Honestly, the description of Stewart Ward in the first link you gave me draws more parallels for me to the story of Grant Ward, what with Stewart Ward having been “a black-ops operative for the CIA” revealed to be a double agent for Hydra, and abandoned by his partners at least in part for his betrayal. Also for having been assigned a top-secret mission to uncover an “alien project” though in Grant’s case it was by Hydra within S.H.I.E.L.D. and said project was T.A.H.I.T.I. Substitute growing up in a military family with a political one and you’re all set though Grant was probably not the first member of his family to be sent to military school.)
