Due to ‘genetic damage’ caused by her father’s experiments, Daisy's inhuman gene was triggered without having to go through Terriginesis. She has the ability generate earthquakes . Her training under Nick Fury enabled her to target her seismic vibrations with precise accuracy causing her target to vibrate and explode from the inside out. She is immune to any harmful effects of the vibrations.
She has also gained (or was given) a psychic shield, which prevents or aids her in not being harmed by psychic assaults made by those with such abilities.
She has such a fine control over her powers that she can explode a person's heart from the inside, even from a distance. She can range from such delicate uses of her power as this, to bringing down whole building structures in seconds. She can also use her powers to induce vibrations in a person's brain to render them unconscious.
Further training (under Fury) has made her a superb hand-to-hand combatant, a highly skilled athlete and marksman, and a qualified undercover agent. She is also a leading espionage agent, adept at undercover assignments.
She also possesses "Level 10" SHIELD security clearance. She is the only known agent aside from Fury and the Black Widow with such clearance.

Daisy Johnson appears as one of the main characters in the series, initially introduced as a young hacker named Skye, and originally known as Mary Sue Poots, a genius-level hacker and level 1 S.H.I.E.L.D. operative. Before her recruitment into the agency, Skye worked for the Rising Tide "hacktivist" group, so she could reveal the truth about the existence of aliens, superheroes, and demigods to the world. Agent Phil Coulson recruited her into his team. Throughout the show, a running mystery involve's Skye's heritage, as she does not know who her real parents are. It is eventually revealed that Skye was found as a baby in the Hunan province of China, and that her entire village was slaughtered during an attempt to find her.
Doubts are later cast as to whether or not she is human, as the mysterious woman Raina implies that she possesses special genetic heritage, and she later is later injected with a serum made from Kree blood without incident (in contrast to the humans who were injected with the serum and suffered severe side effects).
In the second season, she is pursued by her father, who is later revealed to be the show's version of Calvin Zabo. He reveals that Skye's real name is Daisy, and that she comes from a long line of people on her mother's side who possess special gifts. After being exposed to the Terrigen Mists and undergoing Terrigenesis, Daisy discovers that she now has seismic abilities. At the end of the season, Coulson tasks her with recruiting a new team of superhumans.
The third season continues this plot thread, with Daisy now leading the Secret Warriors. In the season finale, she goes on the run and becomes an independent superhero, leaving behind her former comrades.
In the show, Daisy/Skye is portrayed by actress Chloe Bennet. Her origin is changed slightly so that in addition to being an Inhuman, she is half-Asian as well.
