Australian actor and “Tomorrow People” star Luke Mitchell will on “Agents of SHIELD” play Lincoln, an “Inhuman” who helps Skye understand “the true extent of her transformation.”
In the comics, the Inhumans were created millions of years ago by the extraterrestrial Kree race in an attempt to build supersoldiers capable of defeating the Kree’s insterstellar enemy, the Skrulls.
After the dwarf ice giant Loki mortally wounded Phil Coulson (Skye’s boss at SHIELD) in Joss Whedon’s “The Avengers,” SHIELD director Nick Fury ordered bodily fluids from a very, very old Kree corpse be used to heal Coulson.
The Kree fluids inside Coulson caused him (and other recipients of the Kree Juice) to draw blueprints depicting an ancient Kree city beneath San Juan, Puerto Rico.
It was in this ancient underground city that Skye (aka Daisy Johnson aka Quake) was transformed into an Inhuman by Kree technology.
(In the comics, Daisy Johnson is an earthquake-generating SHIELD agent, but she has never been identified as an Inhuman.)
Lincoln and Daisy/Skye will help set the stage for the 2018 “Inhumans” movie announced in October by Marvel Studios president Kevin Fiege.
“Agents of SHIELD” retakes ABC’s “Agent Carter” timeslot March 3.
