In the mid-season finale for the second season of Agents of SHIELD, Marvel finally allowed us to know the real identities of Skye (Chloe Bennet) and her father (Kyle MacLachlan). During a long and intense conversation between father and daughter, we find out that Skye's real name is Daisy and that her father's name is Cal.
If those names do not ring a bell, don't beat yourself up. We are here to help. Many sites figured out who Bennet and MacLachlan would really be playing long before the reveal was official. Our hats go off to the likes of ScreenRant, one of my personal favorite sites, for being one of the first to correctly speculate who they would become.
Calvin Zabo (Mr. Hyde)
Calvin Zabo is a medical research scientist in the comics who transformed himself into Mr. Hyde by discovering a new formula. With his new-found powers, he transforms into an raging beast whenever he desires. The transformation distorts his body by adding on bone density, muscle, and superhuman strength and stamina. Agents of SHIELD has not debuted the beast side of Kyle MacLachlan but we have seen plenty of moments where is anger is tested.
Daisy Johnson (Quake)
Trying to figure out just who Chloe Bennet was really playing was a tough task from the get go. Before her life as a SHIELD agent we only knew that she was very good with computers and technology. As we learned in the mid-season finale, Skye's real name is Daisy and after being transformed by the terrigen crystals she seemed to possess the power to create a small earthquake close to her. It is obvious that she is in fact Daisy Johnson, also known as Quake. In the comics, she is the daughter of Calvin Zabo and was rescued by SHIELD as a child. Sound familiar? She also was under the close watch of the Director of SHIELD Nick Fury, just like how she has been under the close watch of the new Director of SHIELD Phil Coulson. According to Marvel.com, Daisy possess the ability to generate seismic vibrations and direct them into objects or people, allowing for a variety of effects including earthquakes, tremors and explosions. As Daisy develops her powers on Agents of SHIELD, her connections to the future Inhumans movie and what her role could be in that film will be interesting to watch.
