It really is. Shes almost a waist of talent as a hero. Unless shes shaking up a bad guys hideout there isn't much she can do. So much potential as a villain though.

Comic stuff, via Wikipedia:

Spoiler:

Daisy generates powerful waves of vibrations which can produce effects resembling those of earthquakes. She is immune to any harmful effects of the vibrations. She also has or was given a form of psychic shielding.

She's also a superb hand-to-hand combatant, skilled all-around athlete, and excellent marksman. She was a leading espionage agent, adept at undercover assignments.

Her training under Fury enables her to target her seismic waves with pinpoint accuracy, causing targeted objects to vibrate themselves apart, from the inside out. This is shown in her being able to prevent the detonation of an antimatter bomb implanted in the body of Lucia von Bardas by destroying its power supply, and exploding the heart of Wolverine while in his chest, to halt an enraged attack on S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury.
Sounds pretty formidable to me.

They didnt just insert pins in her face though. If they did she would still be hot. They made her nose and chin and other features bigger. She doesnt even look remotely like the same person.

"That's Inhuman."
Subtle.

So I know Raina is upset about becoming physically monstrous, but does she have any powers?

Lots of angst this week. Lots. Raina thinks of ending it, and there tons of crying and screaming exchanges. Who were the people in the car who showed up to pick her up?

They hinted that Trip and Agent Tight T-Shirt were in on something before the break, so just what is it? What the hell are they up to? Who are they working for? It's be too obvious for them to be HYDRA, is another SHIELD spying on SHIELD compartmentalization? There isn't much of SHIELD left for them to spy for. They don't have any prior connection, do they? They must both be in on something.

I'm a DC, can a Marvelite tell me who the guy with no eyes is? Do he and Raina have analogues in the comics?

Raina seems to have enhanced speed, resilience/healing, and reflexes, probably animal-like, as well as the deadly spikes she has all over her body. I mean she killed the agents pretty handily, took a bullet, and cuts herself whenever she moves and doesn't bleed to death.

Same.

I think it's still the voice that does it for me.

Just rumored to be Reader. The power set seems pretty different. But who knows.

promised Coulson that she wouldn't tell Thor he was alive

which always kind of bugged me since I don't get why it would be a big deal

Jamie Alexander is probably the biggest guest star that they can afford. I'd watch a Lady Sif and Asgard Adventures spin-off .
