Future Daphne is the new timeline's version of the agent from Walls.	None.	+ When the explosion future was changed, it could have changed who made the agent ranks. + The altering of the future could have changed to whom the ability of super speed would go to. + Daphne works for an organization that hunts down evolved humans in the future. - The agent and Daphne are of different races, so altering the future is unlikely to change any issues in regards to inheritance of the ability. + Altering the future could have prevented a condition that enabled the original agent to develop her ability.
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. • Super speed itself breaks the laws of physics, so this isn't really an issue. • How does super speed break the laws of physics? If she was moving faster than the speed of light, it would make sense, but how is her running super fast, or at the speed of sound, breaking the laws of physics? • Running at the speed of sound does in fact break the laws of physics, but it is possible to travel at the speed of sound using an aircraft. Also Daphne could in fact run far more faster than the speed of sound, possibly at Hypersonic speed. Also, if Hiro stops time, he stops everything; molecules, atoms, cells. So not only does Daphne's ability give her "super speed" it effects her biologically - allowing her cells, molecules, electrons to move fast as well. • Many things in this show break the laws of physics, so this doesn't matter. + She travels faster than the speed of light when augmented using Ando's ability (and also does not create a sonic boom for some reason...).
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. - To make Knox think he had killed them. • 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 is able to run on water.	None.	+ She runs very fast. + The surface tension of the water may allow her to run across it. + She traveled from France to New York without an apparent vehicle.
Daphne's spirit animal is the rabbit.	None.	+ Matt's spirit animal is the turtle, so the rabbit could serve as a foil to that in a "tortoise and hare" way. + She is fast, like a rabbit.
Daphne's power seems also to impart some extra strength.	She can carry at least two grown people with her while moving at super-speed.	+ She carries Matt Parkman and Ando with her to the bike messenger station in Manhattan, presumably all the way from Lawrence, KS. ("Episode:Our Father") - She isn't seen putting Matt or Ando down after arriving at the messenger station. Rather, it seems that they just ran alongside. It could be that she simply imparts super-speed to anybody that she's touching when she uses it. + She also carried Flint when she broke him out of Level Five. ("Episode:Dying of the Light") + She visibly carried Samir Mellouk in Our Lady of Blessed Acceleration, Part 1.
Daphne should of been stuck 16 years in the past when she rescued Hiro.	None.	+ She has no known powers to travel into the future.
Daphne's power is similair to Hiro's and allows her to alter her personal (plus anything/one she is holdings') timeframe. Its just she hasn't learned to use it unless she is running.	She is able to travel backwards AND forwards in time. She moves faster than sound without a sonic boom.	+ With Ando's power boost she was able to speed her timeframe to such an extent The universe's timeframe was reversed. + She was also able to slow her timeframe and allow 16 years to pass without experiencing it.
