The Jessica Drew theory
I've been really intrigued by Skye's mysterious origin, her status as an 0-8-4 and her, so far, unknown identity since the Pilot episode. I am really a fan of the theory that Skye is actually Jessica Drew (Spider-Woman). These are some facts that could support this theory:


 * Even though it hasn't been officially announced, some have said the movie rights to Spider-Woman are actually owned by Marvel Studios/Disney and not by Sony who holds Spider-Man's film rights. This is possible as Spider-Woman actually has zero connections to Spider-Man, her origins are independent of him and her stories are more associated with S.H.I.E.L.D. If not, her movie rights may be shared between Sony and Marvel similar to how Marvel and Fox share the movie rights to other characters (Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver), so it could be possible for Jessica Drew to make an appearance on the show. There is also the possibility that Marvel can use the character but not the name Spider-Woman.


 * Spider-Woman: Thanks guys. How's your arm, Pete...?
 * Luke Cage: Oh yeah, you two know each other.
 * Spider-Man: Kinda
 * Luke Cage: Spider-Man, Spider-Woman... you guys related?
 * Spider-Man: No
 * Luke Cage: You gave her your powers or something?
 * Spider-Man: No. She's totally unrelated to me in any way.
 * Luke Cage: So she ripped off your name?
 * Spider-Man: Exactly

 * In the comics Jessica has been affiliated with both S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA. She was a member of the latter (brainwashed) until she quit. Then a Hydra agent proposed to her to join S.H.I.E.L.D. as a double agent and she accepted the offer after Nick Fury urged her to accept and work as his spy. Moreover Jessica has also joined the Avengers, the Secret Avengers and S.W.O.R.D., a counterpart of S.H.I.E.L.D., that deals with extraterrestrial threats to world security.
 * It has been revealed by her that Skye is not her real name. The foster name which was given to her in the St. Agnes Orphanage, where she was raised, is Mary Sue Poots but it has been suggested that she has erased her earlier identity. Her true birth name still remains unknown. Her father also said that (Skye) is not her name.
 * In fan fiction, a Mary Sue is an idealized character. Usually characterized by unprecedented skill in everything, who saves the day by her wit and ability. The character is almost always beautiful, smart, etc... In short, she is the "perfect" girl. The Mary Sue usually winds up upstaging all of the other characters in the book/series/universe. Finally, Mary Sues often have weird, improbable or impossible bloodlines. Even though Skye is obviously already related to the Mary Sue concept, it would be better proved if she would end up being Jessica Drew, as that would make her the only well established Marvel comic book superhero of the show's main cast.


 * Eric Koenig: What is your first name?
 * Skye: Skye.
 * Eric Koenig: And what is your last name?
 * Skye: Only name. No family. No family name to inherit.
 * Eric Koenig: You have yourself the name Skye?
 * Skye: Well, the name they gave me at the orphanage was Mary Sue Poots, so...

 * Skye's hair is light brown especially in the beginning of the series but at the end of the first season, it is a bit darker. In the second season, Skye's hair seem to be a lot darker. Jessica's hair is originally auburn (sometimes depicted as blonde) but she later dyes them black.
 * During the course of the show, Skye seems to have become a very skilled person due to her training to become a full-fledged S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. In season 2, she seems to be even more skilled than she was and there is a noticeable evolution in her skill set since the Pilot episode. In the comics, in addition to her powers, Jessica is also very skilled as she has received training from Taskmaster, HYDRA and S.H.I.E.L.D.
 * In the comics, Jessica has many superpowers including superhuman strength, speed, stamina, agility and reflexes among others. It seems Skye might have powers, as referred to in the episode Seeds, although none have been discernibly demonstrated so far.
 * One of Jessica's abilities is to produce fear-inducing pheromones, that caused negative reactions in nearly everyone she met and because of that she struggled to deal with her social awkwardness and shyness. Skye grew up in different foster homes who never kept her around for long, saying that she "wasn't a good fit". Though it is revealed in Seeds that the S.H.I.E.L.D. protocol covering her placement at the orphanage mandated her constant reassignment.
 * Because of Jessica's power of pheromone secretion, she is also able to attract people, especially men. Jessica is able to easily seduce many men in order to gain information or just to get her own way. Moreover, because of this power a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Jerry Hunt, becomes obsessed with her and they later start a relationship. On the show, Skye is originally not trusted or liked by Agent May and in a way by Agent Simmons but Agent Ward and Agent Fitz, who at first seems to be attracted to her, immediately like her and it does not take long for Agent Coulson to trust her. Moreover, Ward, who is a very well trained double agent, should have his emotions in check but Skye always seems to make him feel uncomfortable especially in the Pilot episode. Even though Ward was revealed as a HYDRA agent, he has displayed signs of remorse about his actions and has admitted to Skye his feelings for her are real. Skye seemed to be his only weakness during his secret mission as a double agent for HYDRA, and she was the only one he did not want to hurt as he attempted to kill both Fitz and Simmons and later May.


 * Skye: You seem nervous Agent Ward.
 * Grant Ward: I'm calling to mind my training. There's no way I'm gonna reveal classified secrets to a girl who's hell-bent on taking us down.

 * Skye: Did you just give me a compliment?
 * Grant Ward: I - no, I made a comment.
 * Skye: A kind one. Did it physically hurt to do that? Do you need an ice pack? [Ward smiles]
 * Skye: Wow! A compliment and a smile.

 * Skye was given an experimental drug called GH325, of presumably alien origin, that saved her life after she was shot. Moreover Skye was also put inside an hyperbaric chamber by the team in order to be kept alive until the team arrives with the GH325. In one of Jessica's early origin stories, she was given an experimental serum based on irradiated spiders' blood by her father to save her from uranium poisoning. Jessica was also put in a genetic accelerator as the serum required a month's incubation.
 * In the comics, Jessica spent many of her early years at Mount Wundagore in Transia (in later stories it is referred to as her birthplace), which is the home to the New Men, a group of hyper-evolved animals. She was ostracized by them as she was originally human while they were animals. Moreover, in her first appearance, Jessica was to be an actual spider evolved into a human but it was later revealed that her memories of being a spider were implanted into her by HYDRA. On the show, according to a former agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., an infant Skye was discovered by a S.H.I.E.L.D. team in a small Chinese village in Hunan Province. Her parents, the entire village and nearly the whole S.H.I.E.L.D. team were killed protecting her. According to another version of the story by Raina the villagers were trying to protect the infant from her own parents, referring to them as "monsters", who then exterminated the entire population of the village and the S.H.I.E.L.D. team as they were seeking to reclaim their child. Moreover Raina said that she and Skye "have something in common" and then she visited Skye's father, seemingly being an old acquaintance of his, and she told him she found his daughter. There is a character called Raina in the comic books, who is a Saurian, a species that evolved from dinosaurs the same way humanity evolved from ancestral primates. This is referenced in Beginning of the End when John Garrett tells Raina that they are "prehistoric creatures".


 * Grant Ward: Skye's an orphan. Been looking for her parents for awhile. It's not exactly a secret.
 * Raina: But that's what intrigued me. That and her DNA. It appears to be a match for someone I heard bout a long time ago.
 * Grant Ward: You know something about Skye's history?
 * Raina: I can't confirm it's her, but I did hear a story about a baby girl. Years ago, a village in the Hunan province in China. It destroyed, every man, woman, and child torn apart by monsters trying to find this baby.
 * Grant Ward: Did the monster kill the baby's parents?
 * Raina: No. That's whats so interesting. The baby's parents were the monsters.
 * Ragtag


 * Skye's father, who has been cast for the second season of the show, even though he hasn't been named yet, is referred to as "The Doctor". Jessica's father, Jonathan Drew was a scientist, more specifically a geneticist, who was experimenting on the DNA of various species of spiders and one of his experiments resulted in Jessica gaining her powers. In one of Jessica's origin stories, her father's partner was Herbert Wyndham (also known as the High Evolutionary), a fellow scientist and the creator of the New Men, who took care of Jessica after her father left Mount Wundagore.

The Kree/Inhuman theory
There are also some other theories about her identity. The most interesting ones have to do with the corpse of the blue skinned humanoid (confirmed as an alien) and the GH-325 substance, that was exported from the corpse, featured in the episode, T.A.H.I.T.I.. The corpse was also featured in the opening scene of the episode Shadows, that took place in the 1940s, probably showing how the body came to be in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s possession in the first place (it is confirmed in The Writing on the Wall that the corpse featured in Shadows was the same as the one featured in T.A.H.I.T.I., referring to it as thousands of years old, preceding even the pyramids). The most famous theory about the body is that it is a Kree. Moreover in the episode Yes Men, when Phil Coulson asked Sif about alien species with blue skin, she mentioned among many others the Kree (one of the most famous alien species and definitely the most famous of the ones she mentioned in the Marvel Universe). The Kree have also played a big role in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie (part of the MCU) as its main antagonist, Ronan the Accuser, was a Kree and a Kree Ambassador was also featured. Another fact to support this theory is that the Ultimate version of Mar-Vell (a famous alien Kree hero and the original Captain Marvel) was renamed as Geheneris Hala´son Mahr Vehl, and he made his debut in the comics on March (the 3rd month of a year) of 2005, this could explain the code name of the substance that was exported from the corpse. Moreover, the Obelisk (originally known as the Diviner), an item of possibly of alien origin (it was found by Peggy Carter in the 40s in the possession of HYDRA along with the corpse of the blue alien), features similar symbols with the one seen on the alien corpse and most importantly the symbols that Coulson and Garrett draw. This means that the Obelisk is associated with the species of the blue alien (it has been confirmed). So if the alien is a Kree, then the Obelisk is Kree technology (it has been revealed that the alien is indeed a Kree, so the above statement is a fact).

Both of the theories below have something in common, the relation with the Kree. It has been mentioned on the show, that the alien and the GH325 are connected with the Obelisk (the compulsive writing of symbols is actually revealed to be the genetic memories of the alien passed through its DNA on the people who have been injected with the GH325), which is also connected to Skye's father, meaning that Skye's true nature and identity might be connected to all of the above and her origin story might be a mixture of the Kree and the Inhumans storylines from the comics and origin stories of other comic book characters.

The Captain Marvel theory
Because of the Kree theory some fans believe that Skye will end up being Carol Danvers (Ms. Marvel/Captain Marvel). These are some facts that could support this theory:


 * In the comics, Carol gets her powers after she is caught in the explosion of a Kree device and she is saved by Mar-Vell. The energy exposure from the explosion caused Danvers's genetic structure to meld with Captain Marvel's, effectively turning her into a human-Kree hybrid. Similarly on the show, if the alien is in fact a Kree, Skye could possibly become a human-Kree hybrid because of the blood transfusion with GH-325 and gain super powers.
 * Carol was a Major in the United States Air Force, so she has received special training like Skye has as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
 * Carol had also taken for a time the alias of Binary, in which Skye's computer skills could possibly hint towards as a smart wordplay.

Apparently due to the announcement of the Captain Marvel movie, on July 6, 2018, starring Carol Danvers, this theory is considered to be debunked. With Carol appearing in her own movie it is almost definite that she won't appear in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. before that.

The Inhuman theory
Of course that would mean that both Coulson and Garrett are/were also human-Kree hybrids but this theory does not explain Coulson and Garrett's fixation on drawing symbols (which so far are speculated to be of alien origin), something that Skye clearly hasn't experienced. Interestingly enough the same drawings appeared earlier in the first season in the episode Eye-Spy, indicating that there are some more individuals like Coulson and Garrett. Because of that many fans believe that Skye (and possibly "the Doctor" and Raina) is a member of the Inhumans (primitive humans who got experimented on by the Kree to produce a genetically advanced race with extraordinary abilities). This theory could explain some facts that the Ms. Marvel theory can't:


 * Skye's already mysterious nature (as it has been alluded to so many times on the show and even referred to as "dark"), before the blood transfusion, and her 0-8-4 status.
 * The fact that Skye has responded to the GH-325 substance much better than Coulson or Garrett and does not have this fixation on drawing symbols. Because of that, Coulson even indicated that Skye might be an alien.
 * Her parents, who have been referred to as monsters, could be Kree or Inhumans, both races would look abnormal or even monstrous in the eyes of simple villagers. It is later revealed that the village was filled with HYDRA agents who had killed Skye's mother, causing her father to go into a murderous rage.
 * Raina was the only one seen to touch the Obelsik and not get hurt. Every other human, who has touched the Obelisk has died. If Raina is in fact an Inhuman and the Obelisk is Kree technology, it could explain why she was able to touch it and others couldn't. "The Doctor" seems to have a vast knowledge on the object's powers and it is implied that he was able to control it as well (Raina asked him if he could show her...) and it was also implied that Skye could possibly touch it too. In The Things We Bury, it is revealed that like Raina, Skye's mother was also able to touch the Diviner without being killed and when she reappeared 44 years later she hadn't aged a day. This means that the Diviner gave her the power of not aging, making "special" like every other person it chose not to kill. So Skye is definitely able to touch it and she is considered "special" because of what was passed on to her from her mother.
 * The writing on the wall was actually revealed to be a blueprint of a city. This caused many fans to believe that this city is Attilan, a secret city and home of the Inhumans.

This theory is further supported with announcement of an Inhumans movie, on November 2, 2018.

The Quake theory
Due to Skye's father's strange nature and mysterious origin, there is another theory that could explain both his and Skye's identity. Skye's father could actually be Calvin Zabo a.k.a. Mister Hyde. So if Skye's father is Mister Hyde, Skye could be Zabo's daughter, Daisy Johnson a.k.a. Quake. The below facts show similarities between Skye and Daisy: Notes: This article is pure speculation on my regard and for anyone who happens to read it, it should be taken with a huge grain of salt as nothing has been officially confirmed. It can not be treated as canonical until they are presented as a fact by a reputable source. This is just a way for me to collect my thoughts/speculations/theories/wishes in one place. It should be also taken under consideration that my theory might be debunked in the future, with Skye ending up being a totally different comic book character or just an original creation of the show.
 * Hyde was a morally abject but brilliant medical researcher who was fascinated by the effect of hormones on human physiology, which explains the code name "The Doctor".
 * The formula Hyde created and the superpowers he got from that also could explain The Doctor's strange nature and his apparent superhuman strength.
 * In the comics, Mister Hyde is a villain and Skye's father is also depicted as bad guy as well, having killed many people and being referred to as a monster many times. The Doctor also seems to have some rage issues, similar to Zabo's monstrous persona and the main character from Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which was Zabo's inspiration.
 * Both of them were given for adoption when they were babies. Skye went from foster home to foster home for years while Daisy was adopted when she was seven months old and she was given the name "Cory Sutter".
 * Both of them were born being different in their nature. It has been indicated that Skye is special and might have powers, with her origin being related with aliens and a father with superpowers while Daisy was born with earthquake-like powers because of Zabo's mutated genetic code being passed on to her.
 * Both of them joined S.H.I.E.L.D. and were trained by the agency's agents. Daisy ended up having a Level 10 security clearance and later she even became the new Director.
 * Both of them have fought HYDRA while its agents had infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D.
