The comic-book roots of the ‘LMD’ on Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.


By AGENCY

Mallory Jansen plays Aida, a Life Model Decoy in search of the dangerous Darkhold, which allowed her to change her own programming, on the TV show Marvels Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.

What are LMDs and why are they doing terrible things to Marvel’s heroes?

As seen in the Jan 10 mid-season premiere of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., an android with artificial intelligence named Aida has become self-aware. She has replaced Agent May (Ming Na) with another A.I. android, called in Marvel Comics parlance an LMD (“Life Model Decoy”). Hijinks are ensuing.
