| [[Daphne]]'s spirit animal is the rabbit. || None || {{plus}} [[Matt]]'s spirit animal is the [[turtle]], so the rabbit could serve as a foil to that in a "tortoise and hare" way.<br />

| Daphne can travel faster than sound. || She moves extremely fast. || {{plus}} When Hiro slows time, she can still move.<br />
{{note}} We know she doesn't move at the speed of light because if she did she would appear to teleport, but we can actually see her move.<br />
{{minus}} If Daphne could travel faster than sound, she would cause a sonic boom whenever she used her power.<br />
{{note}} Super speed itself breaks the laws of physics, so this isn't really an issue.<br />

:{{note}} She may be the kind of hero who thinks that the end result justifies the way you get that result.<br />

{{minus}} She seems to be double crossing [[Matt]].<br />
:{{plus}}She may switch sides and triple-cross Arthur/Pinehearst.<br />
|-
| If Daphne charged into someone at super speed, they would die. || None. || {{plus}} The force of her hitting them would be similar to that of a bullet.<br />
:{{minus}} Daphne is not made of metal like a bullet. She would also die or at least get seriously injured.<br />
:{{minus}} Think of it this way: If you fell out of a helicopter and managed to land on a person on the ground with speeds similar to Daphne's speed... would you survive?<br />
{{minus}} She hit Knox while traveling at super speed, and only she was hurt.<br />
:{{minus}} [[Knox]] has super strength.<br />
⚫
:{{minus}} This was an illusion created by [[Matt]].<br />
{{note}} Her ability could be similar to others we've seen, where she's physically able to take more than the normal person to help with her ability, i.e., Meredith is able to hold fire without being burned and breathe in a room deprived of oxygen from fire.<br />
|-
| [[Daphne]] will always be confused. || None. || {{plus}} [[Peter]] was hunted down by [[Claire]]. [[Claire]] was working with [[Knox]]. [[Claire]] also hunted down Gabriel.

⚫
| [[Daphne]] is able to run on water. || None. || {{plus}} She runs very fast.<br />
{{plus}} The surface tension of the water may allow her to run across it.<br />
{{plus}} She traveled from France to New York without an apparent vehicle.<br />
|-
| [[Daphne]] is a triple agent and [[Matt]] is on it with her. || None. || {{plus}} If Daphne and Matt hooked up in the [[Exposed future|future]], she may already be in love with him and the two are conniving against [[Pinehearst]].<br />
{{plus}} Being Matt a [[telepath]], Daphne would not be able to intentionally double cross him.<br />
:{{minus}} Matt loves Daphne too much to read her mind as a sign of distrust.<br />
:{{plus}} Matt may not have been able to avoid catching Daphne's thoughts in the air.<br />
{{plus}} Daphne updated Arthur on his plan for her infiltration by phone. Matt could have been close enough to witness the conversation.<br />
