Background / History
Skye first meets Ye Li while applying to join the Ghost-Spider fan club. Their mutual interest quickly becomes apparent, and Ye Li invites her to continue their conversation at his café. During the Green Goblin and Rhino attack that interrupts their meeting, Skye recognizes Rhino from news reports and urges Ye Li to leave the danger zone. 11
After dropping out of school, Skye tells Ye Li that medical testing suggested she may be infertile and that her mother has concealed information about her body. Ye Li suspects a connection to latent superhuman abilities, offers her work as his assistant, and later learns her true name is Daisy Johnson. 16 17
Skye joins Rising Tide and establishes herself as an exceptionally capable hacker, infiltrating military and S.H.I.E.L.D. systems, monitoring police communications, locating superhuman incidents, and providing the Club with operational intelligence. 18 19 31 33 54
As the Ghost-Spider Club expands from a fan club into a superhero organization, Skye becomes one of its principal managers. She later leaves Rising Tide because her executive position in the Club makes continued membership inappropriate. 78 223
Ye Li eventually explains that Skye carries Inhuman blood and that Attilan, the Inhuman city on the Moon, is connected to her heritage. With his help, she awakens her Quake ability and begins planning an investigation into her biological parents. 229 230 231
