Everything in the MCU seems to be a reference to something. Is there some hidden meaning to this?

Best Answer

It is a vanity plate spelling of the word "Breezy."

Colson's character in the MCU is depicted as kind of a light-hearted guy, which is in contrast to the stoic, ultra-serious "government man" type of character you would expect. He collects super hero cards, he has a sense of humor, he jokes around and is self-deprecating. One might describe his personality as "breezy."
