About

Growing up in an average suburban household, Joshua's parents were taken from him at an early age. Following that accident, Joshua's life mainly revolved around getting through the next day. Spending most of his school life just going through the motions, he discovered that he had a passion for writing and decided to make it his lifetime career. However, he manifested his ability before he could make his dream a reality and has been unable to pursue his writing for fear of what might happen.

Joshua strongly believes that everybody should have a fair chance and likes to see the good in people, rather than the bad. He has a trustworthy nature and a stubborn attitude that sometimes makes him seem gullible.

Character History

Season One History

While living alone in Boston, Joshua is targeted by a group of Company Agents. Two of them pose as FBI Agents to try and win his trust but he attacks them with his power, setting the rest of the agents on a hunt for him. After being captured by the "Seer", Joshua is recruited to The Company and given the task of capturing the level 5 escapees. To prepare him for this task, Company Agent Tina Bui trains him alongside another recruit named Ethan Campbell. Together, Joshua, Ethan, Tina and Tyson Russel go after two dangerous villains that are running amuck in Central Park. The villains, Vickie Palamino and Nicholas Sawe, are defeated and Joshua is given a new partner, Alan Carter.

Joshua and Alan are assigned to follow the rest of the escapees, starting with Ricardo Silva, who has kidnapped a very special girl. The partners fail to rescue Anna and are then sent after the final escapee, a powerful woman named Emily Rose. This confrontation results in the death of Alan and capture of Joshua, who, during the eclipse, manages to bond with Emily on a level that surprises even him. Believing that she wishes no harm, Joshua agrees to try and protect her.

When Emily's powers return, she attacks and nearly kills Joshua. He manages to fight her off but is gravely injured and unable to escape from her warehouse. When his fellow agents arrive to stop her, Joshua tries his best to assist them without fully harming Emily. In the climax of the battle, Joshua uses his telekinesis to stop Tyson's bullet from killing Emily. Sadly, Emily takes her own life, making Joshua's efforts all for nothing. He returns to Primatech with the others but discovers that he was just a pawn in Angela Petrelli's game. He is fired and wanders New York, blaming himself for the deaths of Emily and Ethan.

Assignment Tracker Profile

Growing up, Joshua was left alone frequently as his parents were often away on work trips. Forced to grow up quickly, Joshua began to harbor feelings of great resentment towards parents or any authority figures. However, following a car crash that took the lives of both his parents, Joshua's feelings disappeared as he was taken in by his aunt Helen Lincoln. As far as grades go, Joshua received top marks in most subjects but reports made by the teachers claim that he was uninspired and seemed to only do what was required of him, nothing more. Joshua found a passion in writing that changed his entire outlook on life. Graduating with honours, he quickly delved into college and managed to leave with a degree in english literature and journalism. Joshua's career as a journalist was short lived as one of his early reports was focused on Jessica Wright, an evolved human who could move things with her mind. Joshua's ability manifested after meeting her and he suffered a mental breakdown. After recovering from this breakdown, Joshua's uncontrolled telekinesis led him to attack and kill two people, thus attracting our attention.

A recruitment process was conducted and Joshua passed with flying colours, gaining control and perspective over his abilities. Further investigation does not seem to be required as Joshua shows skill in both tracking and combat, making him a valuable asset in the field.

The file also includes a psychological profile:

Early reports showed possible signs of an early case of schizophrenia, however, after being examined by both psychiatrists and The Seer, it was confirmed that Joshua's mental state was perfectly healthy. Because of his troubled childhood, some authority issues are evident in Mr Lincoln but they are often subsided by his necessity to do things for "the greater good".

Evolved Human Abilities

Joshua has the power to recreate abilities after touching other evolved humans. To use this ability, Joshua needs to physically touch someone with an ability. While touching them, a flash of light escapes his hand and he is able to use the power whenever he pleases. This process seems to leave other evolved humans in a temporarily weakened state.

Abilities Duplicated

• Telekinesis from Jessica Wright.
• Water Mimicry from Elisa Douglas
• Energy Emission from Ethan Campbell
• Shockwave Emission from Vickie Palamino

In a possible future, Joshua also duplicated:

• Electric Manipulation from an unknown source.

According to his assignment tracker, Joshua's biological is 73, his cerebral is 42, his elemental is 58 and his temporal/spatial is 21. His control index is 59%.
