Theory	Citations	Notes
Pinehearst is threatening Daphne's family, perhaps her grandmother Daniella, to keep Daphne working for them	Matt asks Daphne what Pinehearst is holding over her, and she doesn't answer. (Dying of the Light)	+ The name "Daniella" seems rather important to Daphne • Matt tries to convince her he's telling the truth about their future together by revealing their daughter was named after her grandmother.
Pinehearst is threatening to expose Daphne's thievery.	Matt asks Daphne what Pinehearst is holding over her, and she doesn't answer. (Dying of the Light)	- She can run away from the police, even if she is exposed.
Future Daphne is the new timeline's version of the agent from Walls.	The Explosion future was changed.	+ Maybe when the future was changed the girl that would have originally developed super speed swapped from the agent to Daphne. + Daphne works for an organisation that hunts down evolved humans in the future. - The agent and Daphne are of different races. + As said above, maybe that the agent never got Super speed. The theory is that instead of the agent having speed Daphne got it due to the future being changed. The agent still exists, but without powers.
Maury Parkman is using telepathy to make Daphne agree with everything "Linderman" says.	None.	+ Despite her frequent protests, she always ends up obeying Linderman's orders.
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.
Daphne will become a good guy.	In the future she wants to stop the people who she believes are the villains.	+ She doesn't like hurting people - 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 will always be confused.	The future in season 3	+ Peter was hunted down by Claire. Claire was working with Knox. Claire also hunted down Gabriel. Daphne is confused to choose a side. She was working with Claire and Knox. Knox never showed a good side.
