Alphonso Mackenzie/Life-Model Decoy

*"Yo-Yo, we're coming to get you."
"Is everything okay?"
"You're in danger."*
―Alphonso Mackenzie LMD and Yo-Yo Rodriguez[src]
**Alphonso Mackenzie** was the Life-Model Decoy of the real Alphonso Mackenzie who was sent on a secret mission by Holden Radcliffe to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D. and execute all the Inhumans for Anton Ivanov. The LMD's plan was revealed however and the Mackenzie LMD hunted down Quake and Jemma Simmons, only to eventually be destroyed by a powerful shockwave caused by Quake.

## Biography

### LMD Mission

#### Hunting Inhumans

*"We'll have to assume the worst. That the Russian has people to enact his endgame."
"And his goal in life was to kill all Inhumans."*
―Alphonso Mackenzie LMD and Jemma Simmons[src]
During a mission to rescue Director Jeffrey Mace from the Superior in Russia, the real Alphonso Mackenzie was captured by Holden Radcliffe and Aida. He was then replaced by a Life-Model Decoy who was sent on a mission to infiltrate the Playground. Alongside the other Life-Model Decoys, the Mackenzie LMD regrouped with Jemma Simmons and Daisy Johnson just as they watched the Watchdogs Submarine escaping the base. The Mackenzie LMD was then ordered by the Phil Coulson LMD to return to the Playground with the others rather than going after Aida.

Once back inside the Playground, the Mackenzie LMD spoke with Simmons and the Leo Fitz LMD, informing them that they were now planning on bringing all of the remaining Inhumans to the base for their own protection, claiming that Anton Ivanov was clearly ready to complete his plans for the Watchdogs. The Mackenzie LMD agreed to help Johnson contact the Inhumans. The Jeffrey Mace LMD tried to get Simmons alone in his office to scan her brain, however Simmons and the Fitz LMD quickly made a point that they wanted to stick together throughout their mission to keep working together.

The Mackenzie LMD then split from the other LMDs to continue with their own missions. As part of the plan to collect all of the known Inhumans S.H.I.E.L.D. had, the Mackenzie LMD agreed with Johnson's plan to first collect Yo-Yo Rodriguez as she was deemed to be their most valuable enhanced asset. Once the Coulson LMD had been informed of this plan, the Mackenzie LMD made the call to Rodriguez, informing her that they were coming to collect her soon, when Rodriguez then questioned why, the Mackenzie LMD only told her it was because she was currently in danger and no more information.

Once all the Inhumans had been contacted, the Mackenzie LMD and Johnson agreed to meet on Zephyr One in a few minutes. The Mackenzie LMD armed himself with the Shotgun-Axe but, upon seeing that Johnson was late onto the ship, he asked Agent Prince where she was, only to be informed that Johnson had now decided to personally check the Containment Module rooms before the incoming Inhumans arrived. The Mackenzie LMD however realized that the Mace LMD had already moved the Daisy Johnson LMDs into that room and left to ensure Johnson did not find them and raise the alarm.

#### Schemes Discovered

*"We didn't want to hurt you, but we have no choice here. Now let us download you before you bleed out."
"Don't resist us. You'll be fine. We're in this together."*
―Alphonso Mackenzie LMD and Phil Coulson LMD[src]
Fearing the worst, the Mackenzie LMD arrived inside the Containment Module room where the Daisy Johnson LMDs where being kept, only to find them all in the same place but some of Daisy Johnson's own clothes lying on the ground in front of them. Believing Johnson had hidden herself among the identical robots, the Mackenzie LMD aimed his Shotgun-Axe and began looking for clue for the real Johnson's identity. Eventually the Mackenzie LMD aimed the gun at one LMD only for Quake to appear behind him and knock him back with a powerful shockwave before taking the Shotgun-Axe and quickly escaping.

The Mackenzie LMD found the Jeffrey Mace and Phil Coulson LMDs and informed them of what he had discovered, with them deciding to take action. The Mace LMD then put the entire base onto lockdown before gathering all of their remaining S.H.I.E.L.D. agents together. The Mace LMD handed over to the Coulson LMD who then proceeded to tell all of the agents that Johnson and Simmons had been kidnapped and were the Life-Model Decoys, ordering them not to be fooled by their appearance and shoot them in either their chest or their spine, before the Mackenzie LMD then stood up and ordered them to move out.

While the Mackenzie LMD was getting weapons with various agents, he overheard an explosion, with Piper then questioning if they the supposed LMDs were trying to blow up the base. However just as this happened, the room filled with knock out gas as Piper, James Davis and the others collapsed, leaving the Mackenzie LMD to load his gun and search for his targets. Eventually he discovered Quake just as she destroyed the Mace LMD, causing both the Mackenzie and Coulson LMDs to shoot her in both her shoulders, knocking her down to the ground in agony as they kept their guns aimed at her.

The Mackenzie LMD insisted that he did not wish to hurt her and told Quake to allow them to download her into the Framework before she bled out, while the Coulson LMD told her not to resist the Life-Model Decoys, while they both kept their guns aimed at her head. Quake however ignored their pleas and responded by using her own Inhuman power to launch a massive shockwave at both of the LMDs, which sent the Coulson LMD straight through a glass wall without badly damaging his body, while the vibrations caused the Mackenzie LMD's entire robotic skull was then torn apart by the shockwave, throwing him back and killing him.

## Personality

Despite becoming an android, the Mackenzie LMD's personality has remained intact and retains the same characteristics as when he was a human, despite his mission for which he was programmed to kill all Inhumans and destabilize the S.H.I.E.L.D., as demonstrated when he was determined. to scan Daisy Johnson and Jemma Simmons' brains to end their physical suffering and manipulate agents to turn them against them, lying that they were replaced as Life-Model Decoy and tell them to kill them and scan their brains, claiming that he was for studies, although he was aware that they were human and he was also willing to hurt Quake, just to get what he wanted, that he lived in peace without suffering, which led to his destruction at the hands of Johnson.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Android Physiology**: Being an android, the Mackenzie LMD's physiology was superior than humans. Moreover, like all the LMDs built after Aida, the Mackenzie LMD was powered and animated by a Quantum Brain, a replica of a human brain which displayed the same complexity and capabilities than its biological counterpart but is only made of light.
	+ **Enhanced Strength**: Being an android, LMD Mackenzie was stronger than his counterpart. However, he chose not to engage in close-quarters combat and resorted to firearms prior to his destruction.
	+ **Enhanced Durability**: As an android, the mechanical structure of LMD Mackenize's body made him more resilient than humans. He was able to catch one of Quake's shockwaves that, while temporarily disabling him, caused no actual damage. However, he could not withstand a charged shockwave caused by Quake which destroyed his entire robotic skull, or the explosion caused by May LMD that destroyed his already dead robotic body.
	+ **Enhanced Stamina**: His power source allows the LMD to exert himself for long periods of time without rest between charges. He searched and fought Quake tirelessly until being knocked down first, and ultimately destroyed in their second encounter.
	+ **Enhanced Reflexes**: His Quantum Brain was programmed with a shorter reaction time than humans, allowing him to take Daisy Johnson by surprise in a joint attack with the help of LMD Coulson, shooting her before she could react.
	+ **Enhanced Vision**: Like all the Life-Model Decoys built according to Holden Radcliffe's plans, LMD Mackenzie was equipped with a Backscatter X-Ray Eye Implant that granted him the ability to see in the dark and through solid objects.
	+ **Longevity**: Potentially, as a Life-Model Decoy, Mackenzie's internal power source would have allowed him to last for years. However, he was destroyed not long after being built.
	+ **Pain Immunity**: The synthetic nervous system within the Life-Model Decoys was tweaked once Aida experienced pain herself, disabling all subsequent decoys from the feeling that was intended to accurately mimic human reaction. Therefore, LMD Mackenzie suffered no actual pain.

### Abilities

* **Master Engineer**: Programmed with all of Mackenzie's engine experiences, the Mackenzie LMD was capable of repairing broken objects just as well as the real version, as demonstrated when the Mackenzie LMD repaired the Fitz LMD's body from the injuries inflicted by Jemma Simmons enough to let Fitz finisih repairing itself.
* **Expert Marksman**: Programmed with all of Mackenzie's firing capabilities, the Mackenzie LMD was able to fire just as well as the real version, as demonstrated when he nearly shot a Daisy Johnson LMD, were it not for Quake's surgery that took him from behind and then wound her in the shoulder, with the help of the Coulson LMD.

## Equipment

### Weapons

* **Shotgun-Axe**: *To be added*
