Fans wanted more superpowers on “Agents of SHIELD,” and that’s what they’re getting.
Last season Daisy “Skye” Johnson acquired what looked to me like telekinesis, and now Marvel has announced that Luke Mitchell, who plays her fellow Inhuman and lightning-lad boyfriend Lincoln Campbell, will be a regular next season.
(Don’t be surprised if SHIELD director Phil Coulson emerges with a new superpower of his own next season, thanks to whatever producers decide to stick on his wrist.)
This is at least the second superpowered TV character for Mitchell, who played a teleporter on the CW’s short-lived “The Tomorrow People.”
