Jan. 24 (UPI) -- ABC's Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is bringing on two more signature characters.

Fictional cyborg Deathlok, and Lorelei, a villain from Thors home of Asgard, will join the superhero series when it returns to the small screen in February. S.H.I.E.L.D. executive producer Jeph Loeb made the announcement Thursday on the set of the show.

Weve been leaving breadcrumbs along the way, Loeb said regarding Deathlok. This is a major Marvel character appearing on TV, on film for the first time.

Before the season went on its winter hiatus, J. August Richards's character Mike Peterson lost a leg and was given a high-tech eye, both actions were signs the he would soon transform into the infamous cyborg Deathlok.

"There's an awful lot of enhancements that he'll have. His speed, his strength and he's well-known for his cybernetic eye," Loeb said.

As for Thor's Lorelei, who will be played by Elena Satine, Loeb revealed that she'd be coming to "hunt down another Marvel character."

"Lorelei is from Asgard. She's a beautiful redhead who has the ability to sway men's minds. She has this in her own unique way of speaking," he added.

Deathlok will make his first appearance on S.H.I.E.L.D. during the show's Feb. 4 episode.
