Know more about Agent Daisy Louise Johnson, and why she is called Quake in the MCU.

Powers of Quake

Agent Daisy Johnson was exposed to Terrigen Crystals. Consequently, it resulted in her transforming into Quake. Quake has the power to literally move even mountains. This power resulted in her being the major superhero of the series, ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘ It is noted by Screen Rant that she took on enemies using her powers even the Avengers were not able to handle. She teamed up with the Avengers and helped defeat Magneto by inducing a vibration in his brain that made him lose consciousness. Following the encounter, she disclosed that she would adopt the moniker ‘Quake’ if she were let into Avengers.

She is very adept at targeting objects with her seismic powers to vibrate themselves apart, from the inside out. Her powers prevented the detonation of an antimatter bomb implanted in the body of Lucia von Bardas by destroying its power supply, and exploding the heart of Wolverine while in his chest, to halt an enraged attack on S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury. Recently, she can be seen using her powers without the use of her gauntlets. Interestingly, her powers do not harm her. She is completely immune to the harmful effects of her powers.

Origin of Agent Daisy Louise Johnson

Agent Daisy Louise Johnson is a hyper-genius hacker. She is the daughter of Calvin Johnson, a supervillain, Mr. Hyde, and Jiaying, who comes from an Inhuman lineage. In the first season of ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘, she was endeavoring to uncover the details about her birth and her family history. She was orphaned at a very young age when her mother was killed by HYDRA. Later, she adopted the name Skye and worked for Rising Tide.

She is considered a mutant in the Marvel Universe because of her mixed parentage. The only thing that is left of her parents is her hold of her seismic power. Her father, before taking the Hyde Formula, tampered with his DNA and became more erratic. Daisy, who was given up for adoption after her mother’s death, was named Cory Sutter. During her teenage years, she stole two CDs, and accidentally awoke her vibrational powers causing an earthquake. She was then taken away by S.H.I.E.L.D. and interrogated by Nick Fury. In exchange for her loyalty, she was accepted into the infamous organization. After taking up the name Quake, she destroyed Skrulls in a secret invasion of Manhattan along with her teammates.

Will Quake Return To The MCU?

‘Ms Marvel’ last scene before switching places with Captain Marvel

The last time the viewers saw Agent Johnson was when she headed to space in the penultimate moment of the series ‘Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D‘. This gave the fans of Quake hope that there would be a chance for her to return to MCU if she teams up with the vets in space. The former theory comes up with the possible conundrum that she could team up with the guardians of the galaxy. Thus, there is a wide possibility that it could be in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 3‘.

There is yet another possibility wherein we could see Quake. In the finale of the series ‘Ms Marvel‘, Kamala Khan‘s bangle glows and a second later, she is gone. In her place, Captain Marvel can be seen. This opens up the possibility that Ms Marvel has switched places with Captain Marvel and she has landed in space. This hints that maybe she might have to face some problems in space and Quake might appear to help her out. Fans thereby are waiting for the possibility of Quake’s return in ‘The Marvels‘ too.
