Character History

Special

Joshua packs his stuff, desperately trying to get as much as he can into his suitcase. There is a loud knock on the door, which frigtens Joshua. He answers it and two FBI agents greet him. They ask if they can come inside and Joshua, suspicious, asks what they want. They insist on coming inside and as one of them draws a weapon, Joshua pushes them back telekinetically. He runs through his house but stops dead in his tracks as a woman materializes from a small puddle of water. Quickly, Joshua grabs her hand and a flash of light escapes them. Elisa falls back, stunned. Suddenly, the agents reappear and shoot at Joshua. Fortunately, as soon as the bullets hit him, they become water. Joshua dematerializes into the floor, escaping.

Later, at a park, Joshua calls himself a freak and turns to leave. The agents reappear and Joshua is unable to stop them from capturing him. One week later, Jordan visits Joshua in his cell and explains that things are changing. Joshua asks what he means and an alarm sounds. Jordan tells Joshua to be ready and leaves. Several escaped prisoners run by Joshua's cell and Joshua hears people screaming in terror.

Welcome To Primatech

Joshua meets with Angela Petrelli in her office and listens as she tells him about the Level 5 Breakout. She asks him if he would like to become an agent and Joshua agrees. 3 days later, Joshua trains with Tina Bui and Ethan Campbell in a training room. Tina easily subdues a large man and goes on to ask some questions to the two recruits. Ethan gets his question wrong and Tina hurls him across the room, amazing Joshua. She tells Joshua the right answer and tells him to go back to his room.

While walking, Joshua comes across Tyson Russel, who apologizes for capturing him. Joshua asks how Tyson knew that he was hiding at the park and Tyson explains that his partner has the ability to locate people. Joshua learns a little more about Tyson's past and then continues walking to his room. Later, he is called back into Angela's office and given his first mission.

Villains

In Primatech, Joshua listens to Tina's debriefing on their new targets. When her speech is done, Tyson stands and announces that the team is ready. The team goes to Central Park and find numerous people who appear to have been affected by Nicholas Sawe's ability. Tyson proposes that they split up into two teams so Tina and him go together while Ethan is paired with Joshua. The duo search the area around a fountain and, after seeing Ethan generate some energy, Joshua duplicates Ethan's power. Ethan is annoyed about this but his attention is soon drawn to the fountain. He destroys it after hearing a noise and Joshua is surprised when Vickie Palamino steps out and offers to help them. While Ethan is suspicious, Joshua convinces him that they can trust her, at least until the mission is over.

Vickie, Ethan and Joshua search the park for Nicholas, Tina and Tyson, eventually finding them fighting. Vickie sends a shockwave towards Nicholas, catching him off guard. Joshua uses his Water Mimicry and Telekinesis to attack Nicholas, who becomes so enraged that he kills Vickie. Joshua then begins to charge a shockwave, showing that he duplicated Vickie's power. Before Nicholas can reach him, Joshua unleashes the shockwave, killing the villain.

Infiltration

Joshua sits with Angela, who is happy with the work he did in Central Park. She gives him his next assignment and informs him that he now has his own partner, Alan Carter.

Joshua and Alan break into the home of Ricardo Silva and Alan senses that Joshua isn't entirely happy with a "normal" partner. Joshua insists that he is and Alan reveals that his last partner, Dylan Tyler, died in Korea. Before Joshua can say anything, he notices that Ricardo is coming and alerts Alan. Alan charges for the door, yelling out Ricardo's nickname of Red Eye. Joshua is shocked and, after Ricardo uses his power, Joshua is forced to attack both the men with telekinesis. He is quickly subdued by Anna and her power. After awakening, Joshua follows Anna's tips and escapes. He attempts to recapture the targets with Elisa, but is once again knocked out by Anna.

After Apocalypse

Joshua's future is seen by Jordan.

Escape

Joshua and Alan wake up in a dark warehouse tied to some chairs. Both are badly beaten and bleeding. Alan asks Joshua if he can still use his powers but Joshua hardly notices, as his attention is fixed on the numerous dead bodies around them. A voice calls out that they should be afraid and Joshua quickly telekinetically cuts their ropes. Alan grabs a gun but before he can use it he is attacked by Emily Rose, who uses her power to rip Alan's soul out. Joshua, too shocked to move, stares in horror at his friend's corpse. Emily approaches Joshua, who attempts to use a power. After discovering that their powers are gone, both Emily and Joshua look out a window at the new eclipse.

Fallen Angel

Joshua is shocked when his target, Emily Rose, decides to kill herself after the eclipse removes her abilities. She begins to cry and Joshua awkwardly comforts her, asking if she is alright. Emily reveals some details about her power and how she has become a monster, making Joshua feel sorry for her. Joshua offers to take Emily to Pinehearst to have her ability completely removed but Emily fears that it is too dangerous for him, as she might kill him.

Emily warns Joshua that once her powers return, an alternate personality will take over her but he still refuses to leave her side. When the eclipse begins to end, Joshua sees that Emily is trying to help him so he attempts to escape. However, the door is locked and Joshua turns to see a repowered Emily smiling at him. She is holding the key in her hand and she then begins to take Joshua's soul.

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%.
