From my understanding, the zodiac is a group in Marvel that revolves around antagonizing shield agents, and Nick fury and honestly, let’s be real the only group of shield agents that have antagonized anybody to make them want to form a group is Colson and his team.

Daisy and Colson are among the only people that have constantly gotten hydra way or any other super villains way. I honestly think there’s a chance we would see this show following the villains and we could like maybe see Daisy show up like the last episode like defeating them I imagine.

What do you guys think? How do you guys hope that Daisy might show up in this project?

It’s been awhile since it happened so I wanted to say that I appreciate that mod’s efforts to keep this a safe space while people kept trying to come here and manipulate the entire sub. They did their best but to my knowledge o think they got in trouble, because the brigaders banded together to get them removed i believe. Needless to say this sub has never really quite been the same since.

SO PICK ME, CHOOSE ME, LOVE ME!🥹

I rarely get a skin so my lunar Luna skin is a great skin to get because who knows when the next my legendary skin will be released.

The mods of marvel rivals deleted it.

It’s just strange they have only interacted once and not even much then at all. I think they could be great friends.

This to show that Daisy is more than capable of hurting beings of a higher durability. Definitely capable of defeating higher durability beings in one blast if she wanted as seen when she fought the wrecking crew though this is only possible when by herself and doesn’t have to worry about collateral damage or her teammates.

It’s happens to a lot of character subs especially when they get bigger, which will definitely happens when she joins makes her mcu movie debut. I just wanted to make mention of this now. We are a strong growing subreddit and I hope people will always be able to come here and share cool stuff about Daisy feeling welcomed, appreciated, and engaged with.

Daisy Johnson is one of the strongest examples of Marvel successfully adapting the essence of a comic-book character rather than simply copying her biography. The MCU version, portrayed by Chloe Bennet in Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., begins her story under the name Skye, but she gradually becomes Daisy Johnson and eventually Quake. Although her origin was substantially rewritten from the Earth-616 comics, the woman she ultimately becomes is remarkably close to the character Marvel created in the comics: an exceptionally capable S.H.I.E.L.D. operative, a powerful vibration-manipulating superhuman, a fiercely independent person, a natural leader, and someone whose loyalty to the people she considers family repeatedly shapes her decisions.

The differences in origin are significant but purposeful. In the comics, Daisy Johnson debuted in Secret War #2 in 2004 as the daughter of Calvin Zabo, better known as Mister Hyde, and was already connected to S.H.I.E.L.D. and Nick Fury. Marvel’s comics establish her as a superhuman capable of generating and manipulating seismic vibrations, eventually making her one of Fury’s most trusted operatives and the leader of the Secret Warriors.

The television series instead begins with Skye as a highly skilled hacker who distrusts S.H.I.E.L.D. She is recruited by Phil Coulson, trained by S.H.I.E.L.D., discovers that her birth name is Daisy Johnson, and eventually learns that her mother Jiaying is an Inhuman. Terrigenesis then activates Daisy’s powers, giving her the ability to manipulate vibrations and generate earthquake-like effects. The show’s producers explicitly explained that they were blending Daisy Johnson’s existing comic mythology with the series’ established mythology, changing her parentage and origin while retaining the fundamental concept of Daisy Johnson and her powers.

That is precisely why the adaptation works. The writers changed where Daisy came from without changing what Daisy is.

In both versions, Daisy is fundamentally a S.H.I.E.L.D. woman before she is a conventional superhero. That distinction is important. Her identity is rooted in espionage, intelligence work, field operations, and the responsibility of protecting people from threats that ordinary institutions cannot handle. The comic-book Daisy becomes one of Nick Fury’s most trusted operatives and leads the Secret Warriors. The television Daisy similarly develops from an outsider into one of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s most capable field agents and eventually leads her own group of Inhumans. Marvel’s own material identifies comic Quake as a natural leader and field captain, while its coverage of the television character follows her evolution from Skye to Daisy to Quake.

Their personalities also converge remarkably well. Both versions are fiercely independent, intelligent, confident, stubborn, and willing to challenge authority. Neither Daisy is naturally comfortable simply being told what to do. Both have a rebellious streak and both possess an instinct to act when they believe people are in danger. Yet neither version is simply an aggressive loner. Beneath Daisy’s toughness is an intense capacity for loyalty and attachment. Once she accepts someone as family or as part of her team, she becomes fiercely protective of them.

That is particularly important because both versions of Daisy develop through relationships with older S.H.I.E.L.D. leaders who become surrogate parental figures. In the comics, Nick Fury is Daisy’s mentor and one of the most influential people in her life. Fury trusts her with increasingly important responsibilities, eventually placing her in command of the Secret Warriors and later entrusting her with S.H.I.E.L.D. itself. In the MCU, Phil Coulson occupies a closely related emotional role. He is the person who brings Skye into S.H.I.E.L.D., recognizes her potential, and helps give her a purpose beyond the isolated life she had lived before. The television series therefore transfers an important part of comic Daisy’s Fury relationship into Coulson’s relationship with her while retaining Fury himself as an important figure in the wider MCU.

The Secret Warriors connection is another major example of the adaptation preserving the character’s identity. In the comics, Daisy becomes the field captain of Nick Fury’s Secret Warriors, a covert team of superhuman operatives created to fight threats such as Hydra. In the MCU, Daisy eventually forms and leads a Secret Warriors team of Inhumans. Marvel itself specifically describes her using her powers to recruit other Inhumans into S.H.I.E.L.D. The circumstances and membership differ, but the underlying idea is almost identical: Daisy becomes the person capable of bringing powerful outsiders together and giving them a purpose.

Even Daisy’s relationship with her powers follows the same broad character philosophy. Comic Quake’s ability is vibration manipulation, allowing her to generate and control seismic forces with both enormous destructive potential and precision. The MCU retains that exact fundamental power concept rather than replacing it with a generic energy blast. Daisy’s Terrigenesis gives her vibration manipulation, which she learns to control and develops into her Quake abilities. The visual presentation is different, but the underlying superpower remains recognizably Quake.

Most importantly, both versions treat Daisy’s powers as something she must learn to control rather than something that simply makes her powerful. Her abilities create responsibility. She has to learn restraint because the same force that can save people can also seriously injure or kill them. That makes her development as a person inseparable from her development as Quake.

The MCU also preserves the comic character’s complicated relationship with institutions. Daisy does not simply become obedient because she joins S.H.I.E.L.D. She repeatedly questions authority, disagrees with leadership, and is willing to disobey orders when she believes the organization has lost sight of its purpose. At the same time, she eventually becomes deeply committed to S.H.I.E.L.D. and the people within it. This apparent contradiction is actually one of the defining features of both versions: Daisy is not devoted to authority for its own sake. She is devoted to what she believes the organization should represent.

That distinction explains why her character arc feels so close to the comics despite the different circumstances. The comic Daisy begins as a confident operative already embedded in Fury’s world. The MCU Daisy begins as someone who distrusts organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D. and has to discover whether she can believe in one. Her journey therefore dramatizes the same basic character trait from the opposite direction. Comic Daisy learns how to exercise authority responsibly; MCU Daisy learns why she should accept responsibility and eventually becomes one of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s most important leaders.

Her family history is where the adaptation diverges most dramatically. Comic Daisy is the daughter of Mister Hyde, while MCU Daisy is the daughter of Calvin Johnson and the Inhuman Jiaying. Yet even here, the adaptation preserves the thematic function of her origin. Both versions discover that their extraordinary abilities are connected to a complicated family history and that their parents’ actions do not determine who they become. Daisy has to define herself independently from the people who came before her.

The MCU therefore does not need Daisy’s comic origin to make her the same character. What makes her Daisy Johnson is the combination of traits that survives the adaptation: the intelligence operative, the rebellious spirit, the extraordinary seismic powers, the loyalty to S.H.I.E.L.D., the complicated relationship with authority, the ability to lead other superhumans, the willingness to put herself in danger for others, and the constant struggle to reconcile independence with responsibility.

That is also why the transformation from Skye into Daisy Johnson works so well. Skye is not ultimately a replacement for Daisy; she is the MCU’s route toward discovering Daisy. Her journey from isolated hacker, to S.H.I.E.L.D. recruit, to field agent, to Inhuman, to Secret Warrior, and finally to Quake mirrors the broader progression of the comic character from mysterious young operative to trusted superhuman agent and leader. Marvel’s own retrospective describes the different names—Skye, Daisy, and Quake—as corresponding to different stages of her evolution.

Ultimately, MCU Daisy Johnson is an excellent adaptation because Marvel changed her circumstances without losing her identity. She does not have to possess exactly the same childhood, parents, or path into S.H.I.E.L.D. to remain recognizable as Daisy Johnson. The essential character survives: a fiercely independent woman with extraordinary seismic power who becomes a highly trained S.H.I.E.L.D. operative, develops into a leader, forms profound bonds with the people around her, and repeatedly chooses to use her power in defense of others.

The MCU Daisy and Earth-616 Daisy are therefore not identical biographies, but they are unmistakably the same character concept translated into two different continuities. One begins as Fury’s protégé; the other begins as Coulson’s recruit. One is the daughter of Mister Hyde; the other is the daughter of Jiaying and Calvin Johnson. One begins as an established S.H.I.E.L.D. operative; the other has to discover what S.H.I.E.L.D. means to her. But both ultimately become Daisy Johnson, both become Quake, both manipulate vibrations, both become leaders, both operate at the intersection of espionage and superhuman affairs, and both define themselves through loyalty, independence, courage, and responsibility.

That is what makes the adaptation successful: the MCU did not copy Daisy Johnson’s life—it understood Daisy Johnson’s character.

Daisy Louise Johnson, better known as Quake, is one of Marvel’s most distinctive S.H.I.E.L.D. heroes because her identity is built around the tension between independence and duty. She is not simply a superhero who happens to work for S.H.I.E.L.D.; S.H.I.E.L.D., espionage, intelligence work, and the responsibility that comes with possessing extraordinary power are fundamental parts of who she becomes. Created by Brian Michael Bendis and Gabriele Dell’Otto, Daisy first appeared in Secret War #2 in 2004. She was introduced as a young superhuman with seismic abilities who came under the attention of Nick Fury and was eventually trained by him as one of his most trusted operatives.

Daisy’s personality is initially defined by confidence, rebelliousness, intelligence, and an almost fearless willingness to challenge authority. She is not naturally submissive, even when dealing with people considerably more powerful or experienced than herself. Her early characterization presents her as someone who can be sharp-tongued, self-assured, and difficult to intimidate. She possesses the attitude of someone who knows that she is capable of operating in dangerous environments and does not need to constantly prove that she belongs there. At the same time, that confidence is not simply arrogance. Daisy develops a very serious sense of responsibility as she experiences the consequences of espionage, covert warfare, betrayal, and leadership.

Her relationship with Nick Fury is one of the most important influences on her character. Fury recognizes Daisy’s potential unusually early and gives her an extraordinary degree of trust, including Level 10 security clearance. He does not merely treat her as another powered recruit; he deliberately trains her, exposes her to intelligence operations, and eventually entrusts her with increasingly important responsibilities. Daisy consequently becomes deeply loyal to Fury and to the ideals of S.H.I.E.L.D. that she associates with him. However, that loyalty is complicated by the fact that Fury himself repeatedly operates through secrecy, deception, and morally questionable decisions. Daisy’s relationship with him therefore illustrates one of the central conflicts in her character: she believes in the mission, but the people carrying out that mission are not always morally uncomplicated.

That conflict becomes especially important during Secret War. Daisy remains loyal to Fury even after his unauthorized operation against Latveria creates enormous consequences. Her participation demonstrates that she is willing to follow someone she trusts into extremely dangerous territory, but it also establishes an important flaw: Daisy’s devotion to her cause and mentors can sometimes cause her to accept risks that an outside observer would consider excessive. She is therefore not written as a perfectly detached moral authority. She is a soldier and intelligence operative who has to continually determine where loyalty ends and personal judgment begins.

Daisy’s development into Quake is also symbolic of her increasing independence. She eventually works alongside the Avengers and participates in the conflict involving the Collective, where she uses her vibration powers with extraordinary precision against Magneto. It is during this period that she establishes the name Quake for herself. Her powers are not simply conventional super-strength or energy projection: she can manipulate vibrations on a highly precise level, from creating earthquake-like destructive force to directing vibrations into specific targets. This combination of enormous destructive potential and precision reflects her character as a whole: Daisy is powerful, but she is also fundamentally an operative who has been trained to use power deliberately.

The Secret Warriors era is arguably the most important period for understanding Daisy’s personality. Nick Fury places her in a leadership position over a young team of superpowered operatives during the Skrull crisis and the subsequent conflicts involving Hydra. Daisy is not simply the strongest person on the team; she is expected to make decisions for other people. Marvel itself describes Quake as a natural leader and the field captain of the Warriors. Her leadership is characterized by determination, competence, and a willingness to personally accept danger rather than casually send others into situations she would not enter herself.

Daisy nevertheless has emotional vulnerabilities. She cares deeply about the people around her, even though she does not always express that affection openly. Her serious exterior frequently conceals anxiety about whether she is making the right decisions and whether she is capable of protecting the people placed under her command. This becomes increasingly apparent as her responsibilities increase. Daisy’s tendency toward aggression when pushed does not make her inherently cruel; rather, it reflects how intensely she reacts when people she cares about are threatened or when she believes something important is being taken from her. Her character is therefore considerably more emotionally invested than her professional exterior initially suggests.

Her greatest strength as a character is consequently not simply her seismic power. It is her willingness to accept responsibility. Daisy repeatedly places herself between dangerous forces and other people, whether she is operating as an intelligence agent, a member of the Secret Warriors, or eventually as a senior S.H.I.E.L.D. figure. She is accustomed to living with the knowledge that her decisions can have consequences beyond herself. That produces a more mature and serious Daisy than the rebellious young woman who first entered Fury’s orbit.

Eventually, Daisy reaches one of the highest positions possible within her organization: she becomes Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. This is a major expression of the character’s evolution. The young operative who once had to be trained by Fury becomes someone trusted with the entire organization. However, Marvel does not portray this promotion as evidence that Daisy has become infallible. Her tenure demonstrates that leadership can magnify her weaknesses as well as her strengths. She authorizes an unsanctioned operation against A.I.M.‘s Scientist Supreme, Andrew Forson, and the consequences ultimately result in Maria Hill removing her from the directorship. Daisy’s failure is important because it prevents her from becoming an unrealistically perfect leader: she is capable, courageous, and highly trusted, but she can also become impulsive when she believes an existential threat must be eliminated.

This is one of the defining characteristics of Daisy Johnson: she is willing to break rules when she believes the rules are preventing her from protecting people or accomplishing the mission. That does not mean she rejects morality or believes that anything is acceptable. Rather, Daisy’s history repeatedly places her in situations where conventional authority, intelligence organizations, governments, and even her own mentors are compromised. Her instinct is to act. That makes her simultaneously an extremely valuable operative and a potential liability when her judgment becomes too aggressive.

Her relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. therefore becomes more complicated over time. Daisy does not simply worship the organization. She comes to understand why it exists and why the world needs an organization capable of responding to threats that conventional law enforcement cannot handle. Even after S.H.I.E.L.D. experiences catastrophic failures and political upheaval, Daisy continues to believe in the underlying mission of protecting people. When S.H.I.E.L.D. itself becomes compromised or dismantled, she does not simply abandon that responsibility. She continues operating, demonstrating that her commitment is ultimately to the protection of people rather than merely to an institutional title.

Daisy’s family history also contributes to this complexity. She is the daughter of Calvin Zabo, the supervillain known as Mister Hyde, while her mother has Inhuman ancestry. Her powers were originally believed to be mutant in nature, but later stories establish her unusual Inhuman genetic heritage and the influence of her father’s altered genetics. This background reinforces an important aspect of Daisy’s identity: she inherits extraordinary potential from a deeply troubled family history but refuses to let that determine who she becomes. She is defined by her choices rather than by her father’s identity.

Ultimately, Daisy Johnson stands for responsibility, loyalty, independence, protection, and the willingness to act when people are in danger. She believes that extraordinary threats require people willing to confront them, but her history also demonstrates the danger of allowing loyalty, anger, or certainty to override judgment. She is neither a blind follower nor a detached idealist. She is a pragmatic intelligence operative who genuinely cares about people and is willing to place herself in danger for them.

That combination is what makes Quake distinctive within Marvel. Daisy is not primarily motivated by fame, glory, wealth, or the desire to be recognized as a superhero. She is fundamentally a protector and an operative. Her superhero identity exists alongside her S.H.I.E.L.D. identity rather than replacing it. She can work with Avengers-level heroes, lead the Secret Warriors, command S.H.I.E.L.D., participate in covert operations, and fight superhuman threats, while still retaining the personality of someone who fundamentally thinks like an intelligence agent.

Across her entire Earth-616 history, Daisy therefore evolves from a confident and rebellious young operative into an experienced leader who understands both the necessity and the dangers of power. She can be sarcastic, aggressive, stubborn, fiercely loyal, emotionally guarded, and occasionally reckless, but beneath all of those traits is a consistent principle: people matter, and when a threat endangers them, Daisy believes someone has to stand between that threat and everyone else.

That is the core of Daisy Johnson. Quake is not simply the woman who can cause earthquakes. She is a S.H.I.E.L.D. operative who became a leader, a superhuman who learned restraint, a loyal student who eventually became a commander, and a woman whose greatest struggle is repeatedly determining how far she should go to protect the people and causes she believes in.

Daisy Johnson is one of the strongest candidates for the MCU’s earliest female naturally powered superhumans, and her position becomes especially interesting when the timeline is separated from release order. Wanda Maximoff technically debuted with her powers first, appearing in the mid-credits scene of Captain America: The Winter Soldier in 2014, while Daisy’s transformation into an Inhuman and acquisition of vibration-manipulation abilities occurred in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2. If Captain Marvel is counted according to the 1995 setting of her origin rather than the 2019 release of Captain Marvel, then Carol Danvers predates both of them chronologically; however, Daisy remains the third in that ordering, while by audience release chronology she follows Wanda and predates Carol’s on-screen powered debut.

What makes Daisy particularly significant is everything connected to her beyond the powers themselves. Her story links S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury, Phil Coulson, HYDRA, the Kree, the Inhumans, Terrigen, the Secret Warriors, Ghost Rider, the Darkhold, the Chronicoms, and time-travel events that directly affect Earth’s history. Marvel itself identifies Daisy as an Inhuman whose Terrigenesis awakened her ability to manipulate vibrations and create earthquakes. She consequently occupies an unusual position between the MCU’s grounded espionage history and its increasingly cosmic and superhuman mythology.

That history also makes a compelling case for Daisy to function as an anchor character for the MCU’s main continuity—not because Marvel has officially designated her an “anchor being,” but because her character naturally connects so many different eras and corners of the universe. She begins as an ordinary hacker recruited by Coulson, becomes an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., discovers her Inhuman heritage, becomes Quake, leads other powered individuals, confronts threats ranging from HYDRA and Inhuman extremists to extraterrestrial and supernatural forces, and ultimately becomes one of the MCU’s most experienced superpowered agents. Her story therefore provides a continuous bridge between the MCU before widespread superheroes, the emergence of enhanced humans, the Kree/Inhuman mythology, and the later cosmic and multiversal era.

What’s a moment of Daisy’s from the show that puts you in your feels?

We have our obvious five we want Daisy, Coulson, fitz/simmons, and May. I also do really want Mack it would be so cool even if he couldn’t come back full time just to pass the torch back to a new director.

Daisy Johnson is, at her core, a survivor who slowly learns that she does not have to survive alone. When she is first introduced as Skye, she is an intelligent, witty, sarcastic and fiercely independent hacker who distrusts institutions and authority. Having grown up without knowing her real family or having a stable sense of belonging, she keeps people at a distance and uses humor, confidence and defiance as a kind of armor. She is compassionate beneath that exterior, however, and she has an instinctive desire to help people even when she does not yet know where she belongs herself. Her recruitment by Phil Coulson becomes the beginning of the most important transformation of her life: she gradually stops being someone who merely exposes powerful organizations from the outside and becomes someone willing to dedicate herself to protecting people from within one.

Daisy’s defining trait is not simply that she is rebellious; it is that she has an extremely strong sense of personal agency. She does not blindly accept authority, and she will challenge people she respects when she believes they are wrong. At the same time, once someone earns her trust, Daisy becomes extraordinarily loyal. Coulson and the S.H.I.E.L.D. team eventually become the family she spent her childhood without, which makes betrayal particularly devastating to her. Grant Ward’s betrayal, the loss of her mother Jiaying, Lincoln’s death, and the repeated dangers faced by the people she loves all deepen her rather than fundamentally changing who she is. She becomes more guarded and serious, but she never loses the empathy, humor or emotional openness that characterized Skye. Marvel explicitly describes the series as ultimately being about the family Daisy acquired through S.H.I.E.L.D., and her changing identities reflect the stages of that growth.

Her transformation into Quake is therefore more than gaining vibrational Manipulation powers. After Terrigenesis, Daisy has to learn to control an ability powerful enough to hurt herself and others, while simultaneously coming to terms with being Inhuman and discovering the truth about her family. She initially tries to use that power in service of others, helping recruit and protect other Inhumans. After Lincoln’s sacrifice, however, she isolates herself and operates as a vigilante, showing one of Daisy’s recurring flaws: when she believes the people she loves are safer without her, she tends to carry the burden alone rather than allow them to share it. Marvel’s own account of her story specifically connects Lincoln’s death to Daisy leaving S.H.I.E.L.D. and becoming the vigilante Quake.

Daisy is also deeply emotional, but she is not emotionally weak. She feels things intensely and often makes decisions because she cares deeply about other people, yet she is capable of extraordinary discipline when circumstances demand it. Her sarcasm and occasional playfulness never disappear; instead, they become balanced with the seriousness she develops as an experienced agent and leader. She can be stubborn, impulsive and willing to disobey orders, but those traits exist alongside courage, intelligence, adaptability and a willingness to sacrifice herself for others. Even after everything she experiences, she does not become cynical about people. Her worldview becomes more mature: she learns that loyalty is something earned, that family can be chosen, and that having enormous power does not determine what kind of person she will become.

Ultimately, Daisy’s character arc is about belonging, identity and choice. She begins the series searching for answers about who she is, becomes a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, discovers that she is Daisy Johnson, discovers that she is Inhuman, becomes Quake, loses people she loves, isolates herself, returns to her family, and eventually grows into one of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s most experienced agents and leaders. The different names—Skye, Daisy and Quake—are not simply aliases; they represent different stages of the same person. Skye is the outsider searching for somewhere to belong. Daisy is the woman who discovers her family and chooses what kind of person she wants to be. Quake is the hero who finally accepts the magnitude of her power without allowing that power to define her humanity. By the end of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., she is still fundamentally the same sarcastic, compassionate, fiercely independent woman she was at the beginning—only now she knows who she is, who she loves, and what she is willing to fight for.

TOP 20 MOST POWERFUL CHARACTERS IN THE MCU ( That have more meaningful screen time and got their powers a bit more explored.)

This ranking considers demonstrated MCU power, destructive output, durability, versatility, range, mobility, precision, and the scale at which each character can affect their surroundings.

20. SPIDER-MAN — PETER PARKER

Powers and abilities: Superhuman strength, speed, agility, reflexes, durability, stamina, wall-crawling, enhanced senses, Spider-Sense and web-shooters.

Spider-Man can overpower extremely strong opponents, react to attacks before they reach him, survive impacts that would kill ordinary humans, and use his webs for restraint, mobility, disarming and environmental control. His greatest advantages are his combination of physical ability, Spider-Sense and combat creativity rather than enormous destructive output.

⸻

19. MAKKARI

Powers and abilities: Extreme superhuman speed, enhanced strength, durability, accelerated perception and reaction speed.

Makkari is one of the fastest physical combatants in the MCU. Her speed allows her to generate enormous momentum, rapidly cross large distances and overwhelm opponents before they can react. Her limitation compared with the higher tiers is that her demonstrated power remains primarily physical rather than reality-, dimensional- or cosmic-scale.

⸻

18. SHE-HULK — JENNIFER WALTERS

Powers and abilities: Superhuman strength, durability, physical resistance, enhanced jumping and recovery.

She-Hulk possesses tremendous physical strength while retaining intelligence and fine motor control. She can withstand and deliver massive physical impacts and is considerably beyond conventional human heroes physically. Her abilities, however, remain predominantly physical, giving her less versatility and range than characters higher on the list.

⸻

17. SHANG-CHI

Powers and abilities: Exceptional martial arts skill, enhanced physical abilities, the Ten Rings, energy manipulation, ranged attacks, defensive applications and aerial/kinetic movement.

The Ten Rings dramatically expand Shang-Chi’s capabilities beyond conventional martial arts. They can be controlled individually, launched as projectiles, used to strike from multiple directions, provide defensive protection and generate powerful kinetic/energy effects. Shang-Chi combines this with extremely refined close-quarters combat ability.

⸻

16. IKARIS

Powers and abilities: Superhuman strength, durability, flight, enhanced speed, longevity and powerful cosmic energy projection from his eyes.

Ikaris is among the strongest conventional Eternals in direct combat. His flight and energy projection give him considerably more range than purely physical characters, while his Eternal physiology allows him to withstand tremendous punishment. His demonstrated abilities remain below the highest cosmic and reality-altering tiers.

⸻

15. WONG

Powers and abilities: Mastery of the Mystic Arts, portals, shields, energy projection, magical restraints, protective barriers, teleportation and dimensional manipulation.

Wong’s greatest advantage is versatility. Rather than relying on physical strength, he can manipulate the battlefield through portals, defensive magic, magical constructs and dimensional techniques. He is an exceptionally capable sorcerer, although the MCU has generally demonstrated Doctor Strange operating at a broader and more powerful magical ceiling.

⸻

14. PHASTOS

Powers and abilities: Matter manipulation, energy manipulation, technological construction, energy weapons, force fields, enhanced Eternal physiology, flight and longevity.

Phastos can manipulate surrounding matter and energy to rapidly construct sophisticated weapons, restraints, barriers and machines. His abilities allow him to fight through technological creation rather than simply overpowering opponents physically. His force fields and constructs also give him significant defensive and battlefield-control capabilities.

⸻

13. VISION

Powers and abilities: Superhuman strength and durability, flight, energy projection, density manipulation, phasing, enhanced perception and synthetic physiology.

Vision can alter his density to become intangible, allowing him to pass through solid matter, while also becoming sufficiently dense to deliver powerful physical attacks. His energy projection provides ranged offense, and his synthetic body gives him substantial durability. His combination of offense, defense and phasing makes him extremely difficult to fight conventionally.

⸻

12. ADAM WARLOCK

Powers and abilities: Superhuman strength, durability, flight, energy projection and manipulation, accelerated recovery, enhanced senses and powerful cosmic physiology.

Adam Warlock is a highly powerful cosmic being capable of operating in space and surviving extreme physical punishment. He possesses both physical and energy-based offensive capabilities and can recover from severe injuries. His demonstrated MCU capabilities are enormous, although he has not displayed the temporal, dimensional or reality-scale influence of the characters above him.

⸻

11. HULK — BRUCE BANNER

Powers and abilities: Extreme strength, durability, physical resistance, regeneration/recovery, immense jumping ability and extraordinary endurance.

Hulk remains one of the MCU’s greatest pure physical powerhouses. His strength allows him to contend with other beings of enormous physical power, while his durability lets him survive attacks that would destroy ordinary beings. His primary limitation at this level is versatility: Hulk’s power is overwhelmingly physical rather than dimensional, magical or reality-based.

⸻

10. MONICA RAMBEAU — PHOTON

Powers and abilities: Energy manipulation, energy absorption, electromagnetic-spectrum interaction, transformation into energy, intangibility, flight and enhanced perception.

Monica’s body can transform into different forms of electromagnetic energy, allowing her to pass through matter and travel as energy. She can absorb and redirect energy and interact with electromagnetic phenomena in ways conventional physical characters cannot.

Her energy-state nature makes conventional attacks difficult to use against her, while her ability to manipulate and project energy gives her significant offensive range.

⸻

9. DAISY JOHNSON — QUAKE

Powers and abilities:

•	Vibration manipulation  
•	Seismic-wave generation  
•	Earthquake generation  
•	Focused concussive blasts  
•	Structural destabilization  
•	Resonance manipulation  
•	Vibrational sensing  
•	Defensive vibrational barriers  
•	Propulsion and limited levitation  
•	Large-area shockwaves  
•	Precise localized vibration attacks  
•	Vibrational disruption of biological and physical structures  
•	Disintegration/physical destruction through extreme vibrational force

Daisy’s Inhuman ability is fundamentally vibration manipulation, giving her far more applications than simply creating earthquakes.

She can generate powerful seismic waves through the ground and structures, but she can also focus that same force into concentrated blasts rather than releasing it only as broad-area destruction. This allows her to attack individual targets, destabilize structures, knock opponents back or fracture objects through controlled resonance.

Her power can also be applied defensively. Daisy has demonstrated the ability to generate vibrational barriers capable of protecting herself from incoming attacks, while her control over vibration can provide propulsion and aerial movement.

One of the more unusual applications is her ability to disrupt the physical structure of targets. Daisy has used her powers to destroy or disintegrate biological threats such as the Shrike through vibrational force. This is considerably more dangerous than simply producing a conventional shockwave because the attack can be applied directly to the structure of the target.

She can also perceive and interact with vibrations, giving her a degree of vibrational sensing and precision that separates her from a conventional earthquake generator.

Large-scale output

Daisy’s largest MCU-scale demonstration occurs during the Season 7 finale of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. After being pushed to the limit against Nathaniel Malick, Daisy unleashes an enormous vibrational attack against the Chronicom ship’s reactor. The resulting destruction propagates through the surrounding Chronicom vessels, destroying the fleet in Space.

This is therefore best described as a fleet-destroying attack through a cascading chain reaction, rather than Daisy independently striking every vessel one by one.

Marvel also establishes that Daisy’s powers are capable of producing earthquakes and manipulating vibrations on a massive scale. The future event in which Earth is destroyed should not be treated as Daisy personally destroying the planet, however: Marvel identifies Glenn Talbot, empowered by Gravitonium and Daisy’s abilities, as the cause of that destruction.

Daisy’s combination of large-area seismic force, concentrated attacks, structural disruption, defensive applications, sensing, mobility and extreme vibrational output places her among the MCU’s most versatile high-end energy/power manipulators.

⸻

8. AMERICA CHAVEZ

Powers and abilities: Superhuman strength and durability, interdimensional portal creation, dimensional travel and transportation of herself and others across realities.

America’s defining ability is not simply physical strength. She can open star-shaped portals between dimensions and realities, allowing her to transport herself and others across enormous distances and even between universes.

Her dimensional abilities give her a form of mobility and battlefield control that conventional physical characters cannot reproduce.

⸻

7. DOCTOR STRANGE

Powers and abilities: Advanced sorcery, energy projection, magical shields, portals, teleportation, bindings, magical constructs, astral projection, Mirror Dimension manipulation, dimensional manipulation and extensive mystical knowledge.

Doctor Strange can alter the battlefield rather than simply attack an opponent directly. Portals allow instantaneous repositioning, shields provide powerful defense, bindings restrict opponents, and the Mirror Dimension can isolate targets from ordinary physical space.

His knowledge of mystical and dimensional phenomena also allows him to interact with threats far outside the capabilities of conventional superheroes.

6. G’IAH

Powers and abilities: Super-Skrull physiology combined with genetic abilities derived from multiple powerful beings, including Captain Marvel, Hulk, Thor, Thanos and other enhanced individuals.

After receiving the Harvest-derived genetic material, G’iah gains an enormous collection of abilities simultaneously rather than possessing a single specialized power.

Her arsenal includes tremendous physical strength and durability, energy-based abilities, regeneration and multiple enhanced biological capabilities inherited from the beings whose DNA was incorporated into the Harvest.

Her major advantage is breadth: she effectively possesses several different categories of superhuman power within one body.

⸻

5. THOR

Powers and abilities: Godlike strength, durability, longevity, lightning manipulation, energy projection, flight, superhuman speed, weapon mastery and interstellar travel.

Thor combines enormous physical power with extremely destructive energy manipulation. His lightning can operate on a massive scale, while Mjolnir and Stormbreaker provide additional offensive, defensive and transportation capabilities.

He has centuries of combat experience and can survive environments and attacks that would destroy most terrestrial heroes. His physical strength, durability and energy output make him one of the MCU’s most complete combatants.

4. CAPTAIN MARVEL — CAROL DANVERS

Powers and abilities: Cosmic energy absorption and manipulation, energy projection, flight, extreme strength, extreme durability, high-speed space travel and Binary-level amplification.

Carol can absorb and manipulate energy rather than merely withstand it. Her powers provide enormous offensive output while also allowing her to survive and operate in space.

She possesses tremendous physical strength and durability in addition to her energy abilities, making her simultaneously a physical powerhouse and cosmic energy manipulator.

Her ability to enter her Binary-powered state further increases her energy output and overall combat capability.

3. SCARLET WITCH — WANDA MAXIMOFF

Powers and abilities: Chaos magic, telekinesis, telepathy, energy manipulation, magical barriers, flight, mind manipulation and reality alteration.

Wanda’s abilities operate on a fundamentally different level from conventional physical strength. She can manipulate matter and energy, attack minds, create barriers, overpower other superhuman beings and alter aspects of reality.

Her greatest advantage is versatility: she can attack physically, mentally, magically or through reality manipulation.

Her abilities have also demonstrated significance across multiple realities, placing her firmly among the MCU’s highest magical/reality-based characters.

⸻

2. SENTRY — ROBERT REYNOLDS

Powers and abilities: Extreme superhuman strength, durability, speed, flight, regeneration, energy manipulation and extraordinary physical resilience, accompanied by the Void.

Sentry represents an extreme combination of physical power and energy-based abilities. His strength and durability place him among the MCU’s highest-end superhumans, while his regeneration makes him exceptionally difficult to permanently defeat.

His connection to the Void adds another dimension to his power set, giving him abilities and threats beyond what would normally be expected from a conventional superhuman.

1. LOKI — GOD OF STORIES

Powers and abilities: Asgardian physiology, advanced magic, teleportation, temporal manipulation, time-slipping, temporal awareness, timeline manipulation, multiversal awareness and extraordinary longevity.

Loki’s final state represents a fundamentally different scale of power from ordinary combat-focused characters.

After mastering his temporal abilities, Loki becomes capable of manipulating time and interacting with branching timelines on a multiversal scale. His ultimate role involves maintaining the branching timelines of the Multiverse rather than simply fighting within one of them.

His importance at this level comes from temporal and multiversal control, not merely physical strength or destructive output. His abilities operate on the structure of timelines themselves.

Daisy Johnson’s vibration manipulation in Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. demonstrates that her powers are fundamentally more versatile than simply producing conventional sound or seismic waves. One of the most significant implications is her ability to generate and propagate a massive vibrational force through the vacuum of space, where ordinary mechanical vibrations should not be able to travel because there is no atmosphere or other conventional medium to carry them. Yet Daisy is capable of producing a large-scale vibrational burst that propagates through the vacuum and affects multiple spacecraft.

This suggests that Daisy’s power is not dependent on air, sound, or ordinary physical wave propagation. Instead, her abilities appear to involve the direct generation and manipulation of vibrational energy itself. That distinction is extremely important: she does not merely create vibrations and allow the environment to carry them—she can seemingly impose or transmit vibrational energy independently of a conventional medium.

That makes Daisy inherently powerful because the environment does not impose the same limitations on her that it would on ordinary vibration-based abilities. She can manipulate vibrations on a fundamental physical level, allowing her attacks to function in environments where conventional sound or mechanical shockwaves would fail. Her demonstrated ability to affect objects across the vacuum of space therefore represents more than just a powerful attack; it is evidence for an unusually broad mechanism behind her powers.

Combined with her ability to generate earthquakes, manipulate vibrations, disrupt structures, and produce increasingly massive vibrational forces, the space feat supports interpreting Daisy as a character whose power is fundamentally based on controlling vibration rather than simply producing sound. The distinction gives her abilities enormous potential, because vibration is a property associated with matter, energy, and physical interactions across many different scales. Her greatest limitation is therefore not necessarily whether a medium exists, but how much vibrational energy she can generate, control, and direct. Which has already been shown to be massive Quantities.

For those of you who are growing more familiar with her in comics or even just going through the comic section of the subreddit you’ll be able to see that this is true. Especially if you’ve already seen agents of shield you see some of what she is capable of. In comics we get to see some of what she is capable of. Together you guys it truly makes sense for why we haven’t seen her yet.

For her to have her proper moments to shine in the MCU. The universe needs to scale up to a new power level that matches her threat level. In comics we see that she is called when they need someone whose powers by pass defenses, can go from small to large scale attacks, and have a decent battle sense. Daisy is always called on even the most powerful of Heros fail. She always succeeds. In comics Captain America respected her so much he asked her to join the avengers, and that wasn’t even just because she was powerful. It was also that she has heart and knew when to make the right decision regardless of protocol. You seem when they asked her to come help with magneto even sentry couldn’t do anything.

Daisy is heavily underestimated by most in the marvel community and even by other characters in comics. She always proves those her doubted her wrong. She is truly a super spy prodigy in the marvel universe. I still can’t believe we never got to see a rivalry between her and Maria hill in the MCU. If only things could have been different. I say all this to say I think there is a serious chance we could see her taking down Dooms castle in secret wars. In all hope is lost we can’t get through it’s impenetrable. We get to hear Nick Fury telling Daisy to bring it all down. This would then allow for Daisy to be introduced to the MCU.

I think we are definitely see the return of shield as a bigger role in comics as well as the return of Daisy Johnson and crew🐦‍🔥
