More Badass Female SHIELD Agent? Black Widow Or The New Mockingbird?

Adrianne Palicki made her debut on Agents of SHIELD last night as Bobbi Morse aka Mockingbird and the similarities between her fighting style and Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow character are striking.

So striking, in fact, as MTV points out, that Tumblr shotgunwithwings put together some side by side comparisons in GIF form showing their similarities.

Here’s a sampling of what they put together over on their Tumblr.

Of course, that was just from Palicki’s first appearance as Mockingbird. Next week she’s getting some new gear to make her look even more badass…

While we were disappointed when Palicki’s Wonder Woman series fell through, this is definitely a nice little substitute as she was obviously destined for a role like this after her killer appearance in GI Joe.
