Chapter Summaries

Daisy learned that her Inhuman powers lagged behind Black Bolt’s because her bloodline was less optimized, and she considered S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Kree and cosmic artifacts useful for future research. She agreed to lease Reed Richards access to her Supercomputer, then began discussing his cosmic-ray experiments without realizing he could not afford the rent.

• Daisy compared her strength with Black Bolt’s and concluded that her bloodline was not pure enough, though she identified several S.H.I.E.L.D. resources that could aid her research.
• The maid told Daisy that the Baxter Foundation, led by Reed Richards, wanted to lease a Supercomputer port for its cosmic-ray research.
• Daisy recognized that the project would lead to the Fantastic Four and asked the maid to arrange a meeting with Reed.
• Reed visited Daisy with Ben Grimm, and Daisy offered to rent him Supercomputer time during the day.
• Reed felt embarrassed because he had sought Daisy out strategically and had no money for the rent, but Daisy began asking him about his cosmic-ray project instead.

Daisy discussed Cosmic Rays and genetic enhancement with Reed, then considered how to study his research without risking exposure herself. Two days later, Reed asked her to invest in his Cosmic Ray observation project, which Daisy recognized as a disastrous money pit.

• Reed enthusiastically explained his Cosmic Ray research to Daisy, and they debated its potential effects on human genes.
• Daisy used Danger's three-dimensional imaging to examine Cosmic Ray particles while probing Reed for ideas on human enhancement and genetic engineering.
• Daisy ordered Danger to use Reed's ideas as a reference for bloodline purification experiments, but rejected direct exposure as too risky.
• Daisy considered studying the Cosmic Ray contamination on Reed and his companions' spacesuits instead of going to the Space Station herself.
• Two days later, Reed obtained a Supercomputer access port at Daisy's company and asked her to invest in his project.
• Daisy judged Reed's project to be a money pit, recalling that Victor von Doom's investment had led to a crashed Space Station and a bankrupt conglomerate.

Daisy supported Reed’s Cosmic Ray project with a donation in exchange for two specially made spacesuits, then prepared to profit from Doom Group’s likely failure. A month later, she arrived at Kennedy Space Center and met Susan Storm, Doom Group’s genetic research director.

• Daisy offered Reed free use of her Supercomputer and donated ten million dollars to the Baxter Foundation, asking him to take spacesuits bearing her and Maki’s names into space.
• After Reed left, Daisy ordered Maki to use all their available funds to short Doom Group.
• Doom Group announced its Cosmic Ray observation project, which had cost nearly two billion dollars and relied on Doom’s confidence in Reed.
• A month later, Reed invited Daisy to tour the space shuttle, and Daisy dressed to emphasize her supposedly delicate health.
• At Kennedy Space Center, Daisy met Susan Storm, Doom Group’s director of the Genetic Research Department.

Daisy met Susan and Johnny Stone at Kennedy Space Center, then returned to New York and prepared to profit from the space station disaster. After the Cosmic Rays struck the station, Daisy teleported to its South Pacific wreckage to search for the survivors.

• Daisy befriended Susan and Johnny Stone while visiting the launch preparations at Kennedy Space Center.
• Reed Richards showed Daisy the protective suits and backpack he planned to take to the space station.
• Daisy told Miss Maid to buy Doom Group stock, predicting that the space station would suffer an accident that day.
• The Cosmic Rays struck the space station forty-five minutes after Reed's group arrived, and S.H.I.E.L.D. calculated that the wreckage would fall into the South Pacific.
• Daisy teleported to the wreckage, found a way inside, and entered the space station.

Daisy searched the wrecked Space Station, rescued the unconscious Susan Stone, and collected radioactive Synthetic Fiber fragments for Danger to study. She failed to reach the unconscious Doctor Doom, then returned to New York as her team prepared to short Doom Group stock when the market opened.

• Daisy found Susan Stone pinned beneath metal pillars and used her vibration powers to shatter them and free her.
• Daisy collected pieces of the protective suits and scattered debris around the station before leaving without reaching Doctor Doom, who was trapped inside a shielded control room.
• Daisy returned to New York, showered, and ordered Danger to test the fragments for radiation and possible genetic enhancement.
• Daisy learned that major funds had begun shorting Doom Group and that her team had lost a little over thirty million of its principal after entering the market early.

Daisy profited from shorting Doom Group stock, then invested the money in Stark Industries and drove Lorna back to school. Stuck in a Brooklyn Bridge traffic jam, they went to see The Thing facing the police, where Daisy sensed a strange presence nearby.

• Daisy pulled out of Doom Group after Victor von Doom left intensive care and used most of her profits to buy Stark Industries stock.
• A week after public unrest subsided, Daisy agreed to drive Lorna to school in her sports car.
• Daisy and Lorna became trapped in traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge and spotted The Thing confronting the police after a traffic accident.
• Daisy led Lorna through the crowd to watch The Thing, then sensed an unusual frequency nearby and reached out before quickly pulling back her strength.

Daisy accidentally grabbed Susan Stone while Susan was invisible, then helped her get dressed and reunite with Reed Richards and Johnny Stone. The Fantastic Four saved a fire truck and became media sensations, while Daisy watched from the sidelines.

• Daisy grabbed Susan Stone's exposed body by mistake, causing Susan to become visible, and covered her with her suit jacket.
• Daisy took Susan and Lorna to her car, where Susan dressed and angrily blamed Reed Richards for suggesting she turn invisible.
• Reed Richards and Johnny Stone found them and brought Susan her clothes, and Susan scolded them before remembering they needed to find Ben Grimm.
• The Fantastic Four worked together to rescue a fire truck that had fallen, drawing cheers from the crowd as Daisy questioned the cause of the chaos.
• Johnny Stone announced the era of the Fantastic Four at a press conference, and the media celebrated the team as superheroes.

Daisy visited Stark Industries after buying a growing stake, reassured Pepper that she would support her, and analyzed Tony Stark’s prospects for Nick Fury. She argued that Tony could recover without S.H.I.E.L.D.’s help, leaving Fury to reconsider his offer to recruit him.

• Daisy visited Stark Industries, congratulated Pepper on becoming president, and promised to support her despite owning less than five percent of the company.
• Pepper agreed to conceal Daisy’s Stark Industries shares, which Daisy wanted to legitimize money held across various accounts.
• At a S.H.I.E.L.D. meeting, agents concluded that Reed Richards was unlikely to join the organization, while Daisy stayed quiet.
• Nick Fury kept Daisy behind and asked how S.H.I.E.L.D. should recruit Tony Stark.
• Daisy showed Fury Skye Data’s analysis and argued that Tony’s popularity and the potential of Stark Industries’ technology could help him recover without S.H.I.E.L.D.

Daisy advised Nick Fury to choose between winning Tony Stark’s trust and acquiring Stark Industries, then joined Miss Maki for an experimental Cosmic Ray exposure. The exposure affected Maki painfully, and Daisy stayed beside her as the enhancement began.

• Daisy advised Nick Fury that S.H.I.E.L.D. could either cultivate Tony Stark’s loyalty or buy Stark Industries shares and pursue control of the company.
• Nick Fury said he would think it over, and Daisy left hoping S.H.I.E.L.D. would choose to acquire Stark Industries.
• Danger concluded that Cosmic Rays could enhance genes and that Daisy and Maki had enough remaining for one exposure, so Daisy invited Maki to join her.
• Danger recommended that Daisy and Maki remove their clothes before entering the cramped chamber, and they proceeded despite their awkwardness.
• The Cosmic Rays caused little discomfort for Daisy, but Maki collapsed in severe pain, and Danger said her symptoms were within normal parameters.
• Daisy comforted Maki as she endured the pain and slowly sat up, soaked with sweat.

After enduring the Cosmic Rays, Daisy found no immediate enhancement, but the next morning she discovered she could transform into a blue-skinned form with sharply reduced abilities. Testing revealed that the transformation changed her genes and turned her into a Kree.

• Maki endured the Cosmic Rays for fifty-five seconds before passing out, and Daisy then underwent her own enhancement as the rays struck her with waves of energy.
• Daisy carried Maki out of the chamber, checked their radiation levels, and put the maid to bed before resting herself.
• Daisy woke to find her skin blue, her eyes changed, and extra teeth, then discovered she could switch between her normal appearance and the altered form.
• Daisy tested the altered form and found that her strength, speed, and vibration ability were greatly diminished, with no new power she could detect.
• Daisy received the laboratory report and learned from Danger that her transformation changed her genes and turned her into a Kree.

Daisy discovered that she could switch between Kree and ordinary human genetic states, but both transformations weakened her and suppressed her vibration power. After learning that hidden Eternal genes might be added to her bloodline, she tried to access them and ended the chapter sensing them for the first time from her human state.

• Danger told Daisy that Cosmic Rays let her switch between genetic fragments, and testing showed that one form was Kree while another was an ordinary human with the Heart-shaped herb's enhancement.
• Daisy recalled that the Kree had used Eternal genes in their experiments to create Inhumans, and realized that she and Thanos were distant relatives.
• Danger warned that most foreign genes could destabilize Daisy's enhanced sequence, but said Eternal genes might be compatible.
• Daisy named her new ability Bloodline Reversion and failed to transform into an Eternal.
• Daisy switched into her human state and, for the first time, sensed the distant Eternal Gene.

Daisy continued training her genetic transformations and helped Miss Maki master her smoke power, then assisted Natasha Romanoff with her Stark Industries assignment. After colliding with Susan Stone again, Daisy discovered that Susan’s body became invisible while one part did not.

• Daisy failed to access the Eternals' genes but practiced switching between her Inhuman, Earthling, and Kree states.
• Miss Maki mastered her smoke transformation, used her cloak to conceal her clothes, and received an Adamantium katana from Daisy.
• Natasha Romanoff visited Daisy and asked for help using Miss Maki's legal connections to enter Stark Industries.
• Daisy introduced Natasha to Miss Maki, then went to retrieve her car from the company's underground garage.
• Susan Stone collided with Daisy while fleeing a crowd, and Daisy saw an invisible body part remain visible as Susan ran away.

After helping Susan recover her privacy and taking her back to Long Island, Daisy was summoned by Nick Fury for an urgent Pentagon meeting about Blonsky. There, she encountered Colonel Stryker and recognized the young man who had stolen data from her ALS hospital.

• Daisy covered Susan with her jacket after Susan's power left a gap, then drove her toward Long Island at her request.
• Susan told Daisy that Reed's bizarre powers had frightened her into fleeing the Baxter Building, and apologized for losing Daisy's protective suit.
• Daisy dropped Susan off, exchanged phone numbers with her, and then answered Nick Fury's urgent call.
• Daisy changed into her agent uniform and accompanied Nick Fury by helicopter to the Pentagon for a meeting about Blonsky.
• At the Pentagon, Nick Fury greeted Colonel Stryker, and Daisy recognized the young man who had stolen data from her ALS hospital.

Daisy joined Nick Fury and Stryker at a Pentagon meeting about Samuel Sterns, now called The Leader, who had used his psychic ability to rescue Blonsky. She proposed using military satellites to track gamma radiation and remotely strike their targets, then began writing an algorithm for the generals.

• Daisy confronted Ajax over stealing her experimental data, but Stryker apologized on his behalf and led Ajax and Deathstrike toward the meeting.
• Pentagon guards barred Ajax and Deathstrike from entering, so Stryker left them outside while he, Daisy, and Nick Fury entered the conference room.
• Secretary Robert showed the Joint Chiefs footage of Samuel injecting himself with Hulk blood, transforming, and later entering the Department of Defense unseen to rescue Blonsky.
• The Department of Defense asked S.H.I.E.L.D. and X-Weapon to hunt Samuel and Blonsky, offering S.H.I.E.L.D. the earlier 5.5 billion dollars and help upgrading its aircraft carriers; X-Weapon demanded access to both targets for research.
• Daisy proposed locating gamma radiation with military satellites and striking the targets with missiles, and Secretary Robert arranged for her to write the algorithm on a laptop.

Daisy used a gamma-ray search algorithm to locate The Leader and Abomination in Pennsylvania, prompting Secretary Robert to order a missile strike. After both targets survived and fled, the military, S.H.I.E.L.D., and X-Weapon set out to capture them.

• Daisy’s algorithm narrowed the gamma-ray readings to The Leader and Abomination, whom the military identified on satellite footage in Pennsylvania.
• Secretary Robert ordered missiles launched at the two targets, and the Army fired two waves of Spear missiles.
• The Leader and Abomination survived the strikes, then fled in different directions, with Abomination heading toward Maryland.
• Secretary Robert ordered a capture operation involving the military, S.H.I.E.L.D., and X-Weapon.
• Daisy and Nick Fury joined the pursuit with pistols, while Ajax and Deathstrike displayed their weapons and a Delta Force captain called them freaks.

Daisy and Nick Fury joined Stryker’s forces in the pursuit of the injured Abomination, who was overwhelmed by Ajax and Deathstrike. After the battle, Fury shared confidential information about Namor with Daisy, leaving her with a new assignment to keep watch on him.

• Stryker offered Daisy a research position, but she rejected it before the forces landed and split up to pursue The Leader and Abomination.
• Ajax and Deathstrike attacked the injured Abomination, while Delta Force and Daisy, Nick Fury, and Stryker provided support from a distance.
• Abomination tried to escape and tore a soldier in half, but Deathstrike took his punch without retreating and stabbed him as Ajax struck his neck with an axe.
• Daisy and Nick Fury discussed Johnny and the First Human Torch while the fight continued.
• Nick Fury showed Daisy a photo of Namor and told her he suspected the Atlantean Mutant might target Johnny, asking her to keep watch without intervening unless necessary.

Yellow-clad A.I.M. fighters overwhelmed the forces surrounding Abomination and escaped with him and The Leader, Samuel. Daisy captured one of them for Nick Fury, and they took the prisoner to a secret base for testing.

• More than a dozen Yellow-clad fighters broke through Delta Force's defenses, suppressed Abomination, and drove back Ajax and Deathstrike.
• Daisy recognized the fighters as members of A.I.M., while Nick Fury and Stryker denied that they belonged to their organizations.
• Daisy helped the Pentagon scan the fighters, and gamma rays triggered one fighter's body to erupt in flames and grow stronger.
• The Yellow-clad fighters defeated the squad sent after The Leader, Samuel, captured Abomination, and fled with them as others held off the pursuing forces.
• Daisy used the Atomic Cutter to disable and capture one fleeing fighter, then sedated him and met Nick Fury.
• Hawkeye picked up Daisy and Nick Fury in a Quinjet, and they brought their captive to a secret base for blood tests and identification.

Daisy tracked the amnesiac Namor through New York and asked Jean Grey to assess him, worried he might cause destruction. When Namor attacked Human Torch and began fighting the Thing, Daisy urged Jean to help Ben.

• Nick Fury reviewed the fruitless investigation into Namor, while Daisy left to continue monitoring him.
• Daisy followed Namor for three days and then asked Jean Grey to use telepathy to make him leave New York.
• Daisy and Jean secretly followed Namor until the Thing slapped Human Torch, prompting Namor to kick Johnny into a clothing store.
• The Thing fought Namor, first gaining the upper hand before Namor's memories and combat skills returned and let him suppress Ben.
• Daisy asked Jean to help the Thing.

Jean tried to calm Namor, but Johnny’s attack reignited Namor’s rage and triggered the Phoenix Force within Jean. Daisy helped Jean contain the awakened dark personality, and Jean sealed it away again after the Phoenix distracted Daisy with visions of civilizations across time and space.

• Jean used psychic power to soothe Namor, while the Thing went to help injured civilians.
• Johnny struck Namor, reigniting his rage and prompting him to attack with his Soul Stealing Overlord Fist.
• The Phoenix Force stirred through Jean, and Daisy used gravity and psychic power to help restrain the growing chaos.
• Jean shared her psychic techniques with Daisy, and they worked together to repair the cage holding Jean’s dark personality.
• The Phoenix showed Daisy visions of intelligent life and civilizations across time, drawing its attention away from Jean.
• Jean seized the opening and sealed her dark personality away again.

Daisy avoided becoming the Phoenix’s host and rejoined the mission as the Fantastic Four fought Namor. After pursuing Namor and Johnny into Greenland, Daisy, Jean, and Susan restrained him, and Daisy beat him unconscious.

• Daisy broke her mental connection with the Phoenix by drawing its attention away, and Jean confirmed Daisy showed no signs of being its host.
• Susan, Johnny, and The Thing fought Namor in New York while rescuing civilians, and Susan and Johnny lured him away from the city.
• Daisy introduced Susan to Jean aboard the Quinjet and explained that she had been assigned to monitor Namor.
• Daisy pursued Johnny and Namor through Canada and into Greenland with Susan and Jean, using the Quinjet’s cloaking device to avoid causing an international dispute.
• Jean and Susan immobilized Namor with their powers, and Daisy beat him unconscious while Johnny watched in shock.
