"New and improved Gauntlets."

―Alphonso Mackenzie to Quake^[src]

The Quake Gauntlets are specialized gauntlets designed by Jemma Simmons to absorb all Daisy Johnson's earthquakes. Initially designed only to protect Johnson's body from all of the vibrations that risked shattering her bones after she underwent Terrigenesis, the Gauntlets were further upgraded by Leo Fitz as she gained mastery over her powers, allowing her to better aim the shockwaves she generated.

History

Original Design

Skye's first power containing gauntlets

"You could become magnificent. But something's inhibiting you, constraining your energy."
"My friend's a scientist. She made these to protect me."
"Or do they protect people from you?"

―Gordon and Skye^[src]

Following her Terrigenesis, Skye gained a superhuman ability enabling her to manipulate the vibrations of everything surrounding her, including her own body. However, she had trouble controlling this newfound power, and during the Ambush at Manitowoc, while she thought she was withholding her powers, she actually directed the vibrations inside her own body, causing multiple capillary ruptures in her arms. In order to minimize further damage, Jemma Simmons designed gauntlets made of compressed microfibers which would contain the vibrations.

The Gauntlets worn by Skye at the Retreat

Simmons later worked on another design she handed over to Phil Coulson before he took Skye to the Retreat. This new version of the gauntlets delivered minor electricity discharges which lowered Skye's powers' magnitude, keeping Skye from hurting herself and accelerating her healing. However, Skye felt a little dizzy while wearing them for the first time.

When Gordon visited Skye at the Retreat, he criticized the gloves, claiming that they were keeping Skye from learning to control her powers. When she fled from the Retreat, Skye left her gauntlets behind and was taken to Afterlife. However, Gordon reclaimed them later and brought them to Afterlife, where Lincoln Campbell confirmed that the gauntlets had prevented Skye from achieving mastery over her powers and he kept them for further study.

Skye reclaimed her gauntlets before going to fight HYDRA during the Attack on the Arctic HYDRA Research Facility.

Taken into Space

"Team S.H.I.E.L.D. will be fully armed."

―Leo Fitz^[src]

Leo Fitz took the Quake Gauntlets along with other pieces of S.H.I.E.L.D. equipment while preparing to join his friends in the Lighthouse in year 2091. The Gauntlets were stored in a crate which was hidden in a wall of the Lighthouse. In 2091, Alphonso Mackenzie retrieved the crate but Quake did not get the chance to wear her Gauntlets again, being taken back into her time before she was able to reclaim them.

Capabilities

"Absorption plates, frequency mounts, resonant processor units, the results don't lie. They're perfect."
"They might be a little snug, but they've got me close to full strength."

―Leo Fitz and Quake^[src]
