- "Good thing I'm wearing a helmet."
- ―Deke Shaw to Daisy Johnson[src]
Deke Shaw's Helmet was a helmet worn by Deke Shaw in the year 2091 for when he traveled the vacuum of space. The helmet was passed on to Flint when Shaw traveled back to the present with his S.H.I.E.L.D. allies.
Used by Leo Fitz, this type of helmet is one of the technology that is able to allow its users from entering the Quantum Realm without harming them.
History[]
Destroyed Earth Universe[]
Deke Shaw enters the Lighthouse with his helmet on
Deke Shaw wore his helmet while going to investigate a Lighthouse floor who had been exposed to outer space when Vrellnexians attacked the people who were present. Shaw further made his way through the Lighthouse wearing his helmet and found more victims of the Vrellnexians. While searching the bodies and removing their Metrics, Shaw removed his helmet, enabling Melinda May, who was hiding nearby, to see his face before the two got into a short fight.[1]
Deke Shaw finds agents with his helmet
Days later, Shaw wore his helmet while searching the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were trying to escape from Kasius and the Kree Watch. He found Daisy Johnson, Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz. Despite the helmet, Johnson recognized him and violently pushed him against a pipe, prompting Shaw to remark that it was a good thing he was wearing his helmet before Johnson removed it.[2]
Flint wears the helmet in space
Shaw's helmet was later given to Flint, a young Inhuman who collaborated with S.H.I.E.L.D. Flint used the helmet to safely go into outer space so he could use his powers to gather small asteroids he hurled at the windows of Kasius' Suites, breaking the glass and causing the Kree guards who were present to be suck into space. Flint reached the Suites and once the breach was sealed, he removed the helmet.[3]
Travelling through the Quantum Tunnel[]
After being taken by his best friend Enoch around the Alya star alongside Jemma Simmons, Leo Fitz created the same kind of helmet than Shaw. Designed in an effort to win the Chronicom Colonization of Earth, the helmet allows him to safely travel through the Quantum Realm.
Leo Fitz regroups with his fellow agents
Putting the plan in motion, they went back to the Temple of the Forgotten in 2019 during the battle using Zephyr One. From there, protected by Piper and the Monolith recreation of Flint, Fitz used the helmet combined with a Quantum Tunnel to regroup with his fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. agents just after they left.[4]
Fitz joined them in a timeline where Kora was still alive, precisely in The Krazy Kanoe in 1983.[5]
Design and Capabilities[]
The helmet's HUD
The helmet appears as a black and sophisticated device, with the eyes emitting blue light. The helmet is completely hermetic and airtight, enabling its user to safely go into outer space without risking asphyxia. When wearing the helmet, the user has access to a HUD, similar to that of the Iron Man armors, which gives them various information about themselves and their surroundings, like vital signs, oxygen level and helmet's integrity.
Leo Fitz exiting the Quantum Tunnel
Similar to the technology developed by Hank Pym, the helmet is capable of shrinking down in size to subatomic levels and entering the Quantum Realm when the Quantum Tunnel in the destination is activated. The helmet is also capable on protecting its user from the energy in the Quantum Realm while supplying the user with sufficient oxygen to breath in.
