Character History

Genesis

Micah is repairing his computer when his mother comes in, agitated, and chastises him for scaring her. He tells her he's been getting ready for school. Someone knocks on the door and his mother tells him to get his things and meet her at the back door. They escape just as Linderman's thugs break into the house.

At school, Micah is waiting outside reading 9th Wonders! while his mother speaks to the principal. When they prepare to leave, she yells at her reflection in a fish tank. She drops him off at Tina's house and leaves.

Some time later, Micah calls his mother and leaves a message asking her when she's coming to get him.

Don't Look Back

Niki calls Micah and tells him she's on the way. Four hours later, when she hasn't arrived, he calls her again. She finally arrives and picks him up. She tells him they're going to go on vacation and drives him back to the house. She tells him to pack while she takes care of something in the garage. They drive out into the desert in a different car.

One Giant Leap

Micah wakes up in the car the next morning. His mom tells him they are going to his grandmother's house. When he overhears Niki criticizing his father, he asks why she doesn't believe he's innocent, and says the police will never find his father. Just as Niki asks him what he means, she is pulled over by a cop, who says he's there to bring them to Mr. Linderman.

Collision

Micah waits outside while his mom talks to Miss Sakamoto. Back at Tina's, Micah reveals that he knows exactly how Niki makes her living, and that he thinks it's much safer than what she's about to do.

Hiros

Niki arrives back from the casino to find it swarming with police. Tina tells her that D.L. has been spotted in the area and that they assume he's coming for Niki and Micah.

Better Halves

Micah wakes up to discover his father is home. He shows him his comic books and asks how D.L. escaped. D.L. tells him he's special, like Superman. Later, as Niki is beginning to lose control to Jessica, he tells D.L. that she has a secret, too. He hears fighting from his parents' room, but Jessica claims they're merely moving furniture. He enters the room just in time to see Jessica strangling D.L., and D.L. uses the distraction to knock her out. He takes Micah and leaves.

Nothing to Hide

As D.L. drives them away from Las Vegas, Micah questions his dad about what happened with his mom, ultimately deciding that his dad is a "bad guy" for running away. They come upon a car accident, and D.L. uses his powers to rescue a trapped woman, with a little assistance from Hiro.

Micah asks Hiro how he got 9th Wonders! #14 when it isn't even out yet. Hiro explains that the comic is about him and that he got it in the future, and Ando confirms what he's saying. Micah says he saw Ando at his mom's house. When Ando tells D.L. that he's called the police, he and Micah leave. Micah tells his dad he's a hero after all, but still thinks they should go back and save his mom.

At a motel that night, Micah sneaks out to use a payphone. Finding it out-of-order, he lays his hand on it and somehow makes it work. He calls Niki, but quickly realizes he's speaking to Jessica, who tells him his mom won't be back until she has him back. He tells her where they are just as his dad finds him. D.L. asks if he was talking to his mom, but Micah says he was just playing around with the broken phone.

Powers

Micah appears to be able to manipulate electronic and/or mechanical items. However, since it is unknown exactly what was wrong with the phone he fixed, it is difficult to say exactly what Micah's power is.

Fan Theories

• Micah will build a suit similar to the Iron Man's.

The most likely power that Micah was exhibiting is known as technopathy, or the ability to control technology with one's mind.
