I wonder is SPHINX really did still exist, or if Hunter just resurrected it to use as a cover / ruse for whatever he's up to.

One possibility, there are others.

1)SPHINX never went defunct. Gather's defection was real (as in it was truthful to the reasons listed in Assassinanny 911) and he wanted Brock with him the whole time, and just needed a way to get him out of the Venture Compound. Brock was totally ready to kill him in that ep, so if Gathers just came out and asked Brock to leave with him, I doubt he would've.

2) SPHINX was defunct at one point, and our old friend Phantom Limb resurrected it, gathering as many ex-OSI agents as possible to topple the OSI and the Guild.

Wait! Where was there any idication that Phantom Limb had anything to do with SPHINX? Did I miss some clue? Not saying it's implausible mind you, but I can't see Hunter working to Limb. We can be pretty sure that Limb WILL be back this season from the S4 trailer (Sousaphone!), and I'm betting it'll be in episode 4, "The Revenge Society". Limb's m.o. would probably be to somehow get the O.S.I. and the Guild to go all out at one other.

There really needs to be an edit post feature. Should read, "can't see Hunter working FOR Limb."

Mind you, there was no real hint that Limb has anything to do with SPHINX, but a number of people have mentioned that possibility, so I figured it was worth mentioning. It's pure conjecture at this point.

And with as many people watching out for Limb, I doubt his being in charge of SPHINX would be made very public. Look at David Bowie. Only a handful of people knew he was the Sovereign
