Daphne can travel faster than sound.	She moves extremely fast.	+ When Hiro slows time, she can still move. • 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. - If Daphne could travel faster than sound, she would cause a sonic boom whenever she used her power.

In the future, Daphne wants to stop the people who she believes are the villains.	+ She doesn't like hurting people. + This makes her to object to "evil" orders. - She allows Noah, a child, to be taken hostage. • She may be the kind of hero who thinks that the end result justifies the way you get that result. • She is pretty horrified by Noah's death. • She was also pretty unhappy about Ando's supposed death, and even warned Matt against Pinehearst because of what they're like. • She didn't like what Mohinder was doing either. - She seems to be double crossing Matt + She may switch sides and triple-cross Arthur/Pinehearst.
If Daphne charged into someone at super speed, they would die.	None.	+ The force of her hitting them would be similar to that of a bullet. - Daphne is not made of metal like a bullet. She would also die or at least get seriously injured. - 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? - She hit Knox while traveling at super speed, and only she was hurt. - Knox has super strength. - This was an illusion created by Matt. • 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.

Daphne was a paraplegic or quadriplegic. Her synthetic abilities allowed her to walk and move.	None.	+ Arthur will "put her right back where he found her". - In no way that implies she was physically impaired. - Having super speed is only good if you can actually move, even if someone quadriplegic had the ability, the wouldn't be able to move, let alone at super speed. - Daphne is known to have won a medal for winning a track race.
