So Skye's dad is a doctor to the underground. He can't slaughter all his patients, otherwise no one would go to him. Did he slaughter the ones he had because Raina upset him? I felt kind of sorry for him as he watched Coulson comfort Skye. Do people who are more familiar with the comics recognize who/what he is?
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I thought he killed them because they'd seen and heard his conversation with Raina.
(I am totally ignorant of both comics and movies ... so I kind of nod my head and wait for the Buffistas to get excited about the connections.)

I've seen some sites talking about him being the Marvel version of Mr Hyde, but I think they're concentrating WAY too hard on describing his anger issues as "Hulk-like".

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Christ, man, Reed Diamond and Kyle MacLachlan are TERRIFYING together.
Yes, they are. Love it.
I thought Skye's dad killed those guys because they irritated him, and he was in a bad mood from Raina. I don't get the impression he needs much in the way of a reason, as such.
I did not recognize Adrianne Palicki at all! I mean, I thought she looked vaguely familiar enough that I was gonna go look her up if y'all hadn't clued me in, but still.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I've seen some sites talking about him being the Marvel version of Mr Hyde
You mean the MCU version? Mr. Hyde is a Marvel villain. I could see that, though, given his portrayal in this episode, like he's fighting an inner monster, a struggle with a dual personality.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
But the real ha ha point is that he thinks fighting is just reflexive and anyone can do it well enough.
So the only fighting he's done has presumably involved the reflexes of his thumb on the video game controller?

Right, the MCU version of the Marvel Comics version.
a struggle with a dual personality
See, that's not what it looked like to me. I saw a guy struggling with his temper, but no suggestion the temper was a completely different persona.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The theme of calling Skye's parents "monsters" over and over and over again AND cutting away from the carnage says to me that he doesn't look human all the time.
