Canon[]
Lincoln is a recurring character from the series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which is set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
He is one of the many Inhumans, a race of genetically altered humans by the hands of the extraterrestrial race known as the Kree. With the ability to manipulate electricity, he becomes romantically involved with one of the protagonists, Daisy Johnson, and becomes recruited into the organization of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Secret Warriors.
Pre-Convergence[]
It is known that the events of the Gravity Falls Incident are set shortly after the third season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., where Lincoln had, during this time, been working alongside his love interest, Daisy Johnson, before sacrificing himself to save the world. However, instead of dying like he had expected, he woke up within Gravity Falls, inexplicably enough.
Plot Involvement[]
Welcome to the Falls[]
In the beginning, Lincoln introduced himself to Maxine Caulfield, the Winchester brothers, Tommy Merlyn, and a number of others, becoming allies with them rather quickly. In the second chapter, he had an encounter with the hand witch and helped to heal Junko Enoshima, an enigmatic figure whom he and the group he traveled with met, and transported her to the nearby hospital. He was the only investigator to suspect Roman Torchwick as a Traitor outwardly, though he was later fooled along with the others, up to the point they investigated him. In order to swing the vote Roman's way when its clear Roman had a chance to talk his way out, he reveals his Investigator role in desperation and Roman's guilt.
In the fourth chapter due to this sacrifice, he and Tommy Merlyn are murdered by one of the Traitors. This leaves the party with no more Investigators, as the prior two were killed by Roman's schemes earlier.
During the climactic battle, he, Tommy, and the other Survivors within the afterlife contributed to the fight against Bill Cipher.
In the end, after the defeat of Bill Cipher, he, along with the others who had been murdered over the course of the event, were resurrected. When the Coalition appeared to handle the aftermath of the situation upon being summoned by Mom Lalonde, Tommy and Lincoln decided to join, both of them musing that back on their home worlds, they were considered dead, so they may as well make what they can of their new lives by contributing to the safety of the multiverse.
Chillin' in Columbia[]
Sometime after joining the Coalition, Lincoln is seen taking a nap at headquarters, before seeming to be caught in a strange warp that would transport him to Columbia, where he would run into Junko Enoshima, whom he recognized from the events of Welcome to the Falls. Unbeknownst to him, however, the Junko he encountered was from before her time-traveling adventures started, and thus, Junko did not recognize him.
After talking with Junko for a brief while, and gathering some medical supplies for the Coalition, figuring he may as well make good use of his time in Columbia, he returns to headquarters, none the wiser.
A Wish Through Time[]
Lincoln was a moderately active participant in the event.
In the aftermath of the event, when presented with the option to make a wish along with everyone else individually, Lincoln wishes for everyone who had been lost over the course of the adventure to be revived and safely returned to their home worlds, with no memory of what had just transpired. Afterward, it is presumed that he safely returns to Columbia.
Zero Hour[]
Lincoln appears during the final battle, brought in by Billy Kaplan as one of the many heroes pulled from across time and space to assist him in fighting Revan's forces. He assisted Sumia and Lucifer Morningstar during their fight against Bill Cipher.
