QUAKE

 

QUAKE

Real Name: Daisy Johnson

First Appearance: Secret War (Vol. 1) #2, July 2004

Powers: Daisy Johnson inherited "genetic damage" from her father, Calvin Zabo, thanks to his earliest chemical and genetic experiments on himself towards becoming Mister Hyde. Her mother was an Inhuman (Homo sapiens inanthropo), a genetically engineered offshoot of humanity created by the Kree to possess heightened strength, speed, agility, endurance, and reaction time, roughly 50% greater than humans. Zabo's "genetic damage" unlocked the latent Inhuman genes within Daisy that were passed down by her mother, giving her Terrigenesis without exposure to the Terrigen Mists.

As a result, she has the power to generate seismic vibrations. A single pulse builds up intense air pressure, like striking an opponent with a sonic boom. Repetitive vibrational pulsings can cause objects to shatter or crumble, even disintegrate under sustained pressure. Directing her power into the earth or pavement beneath her feet can set off tremors, open up fissures and cause the ground to tremble. Daisy has been trained to use her powers with pinpoint accuracy, enabling her to set off an earthquake in someone's brain or heart, killing them instantly if she chooses.

A trained S.H.I.E.L.D. operative, Quake is a highly skilled espionage agent and a formidable hand-to-hand combatant skilled in various martial arts, along with expertise in marksmanship and gymnastics.

MISTER HYDE

 

MISTER HYDE

Real Name: Calvin Zabo

First Appearance: Journey Into Mystery (Vol. 1) #99, December 1963

Powers: Dr. Calvin Zabo is a scientist who concocted a chemical formula which induces a hormonal transformation. This transformation physically and mentally unleashes his darker side, creating the persona known as Mister Hyde. The formula can be ingested or injected into Zabo in order to be effective, and then a counter-formula can be employed to reverse the process. As Hyde, Zabo's body develops a significant amount of additional mass, and his muscles swell with power.

His facial features are distorted beyond recognition, and even his fingerprints change to distinguish Hyde from Zabo. Though Hyde is far more temperamental and murderous than his Doctor Zabo side, they are still basically the same mind, as opposed to the Hulk's many psychological changes. Hyde possesses superhuman strength (Class 50), endurance, and durability, as well as an incredible tolerance for pain.

Calvin Zabo holds a Ph.D. in psychopharmacology and has extensive knowledge of biochemistry as both personalities. A talented inventor, Zabo has created technological weapons such as chemical irritant sprays, a power-sapper and the Time Reversal Ray, which projected images of a target's past, projecting backwards chronologically.
