Selection
Lincoln Campbell was taken to Afterlife as a young man when it was learned he was an Inhuman. After a few years he was selected to undergo Terrigenesis, where he gained the ability of electricity manipulation. Campbell greatly suffered after his transformation, at one point almost burning all of Afterlife down. But his mentor was able to teach him to control his powers.

Meeting Skye
When Gordon brought a new Inhuman named Skye to Afterlife, Campbell was selected to be her transitioner. When she awoke, he introduced himself and gave her a tour of Afterlife, at one point demonstrating his powers by levitating her off the ground, telling her of his experiences just after going through Terrigenesis and how he felt like his body was burning due to the amount of electricity surging through him but over years of training, he had learned to control his powers. He explained to her the history of the Inhumans and the rules of Afterlife, but had been ordered by the elders not to tell her that her enemy Raina was also living at Afterlife. However, while they were having dinner, Campbell let it slip and Skye demanded to know why he had lied about Raina's presence. As Skye began to lose her temper, the entire room began to shake, showing him that Skye had the power to create earthquakes; she told him not to stand in her way as she did not yet have control of her powers. Campbell followed Skye when she found and confronted Raina. Before Skye could kill Raina by vibrating her skull, they were interrupted by Jiaying, who said she would be Skye's mentor.

Learning Raina's Power
"It's not a dream."

- Lincoln Campbell

Campbell walked into Raina's room, where Gordon was trying to console her. Campbell tried to offer his own comfort, but was rebuffed by Gordon. After Gordon left, Campbell listened as Raina described detailed dreams of Skye and her family. Later, Campbell saw Skye, Jiaying, and Calvin Zabo eating dinner together, with all the details mentioned by Raina. Campbell realized that Raina had the ability to see the future.

Protecting Skye
Campbell was assigned to watch over Skye on her trip to Milwaukee with Calvin Zabo. He stayed close to the pair as they walked along, and when Zabo took Skye to his old clinic, Campbell followed. Upon entering the building, he made a noise, and Zabo and Skye were alerted to his presence. Campbell showed himself, and told Zabo there was no need to worry. However, Zabo, in a rage from learning he was not to stay at Afterlife, threw Campbell into a wall, where he lay stunned.

HYDRA agents led by Sunil Bakshi entered the building, and Zabo turned his attention from Campbell to them, telling Campbell to get Skye away, which he tried to do before returning to the fight. Campbell encountered Deathlok, whom he tried to take down with his powers; however, Deathlok was able to resist the electricity. When Deathlok tried to convince Campbell that he was a friend of Skye's, Campbell scoffed at him and continued to fight him. Their fight was interrupted by HYDRA agents, who incapacitated both of them.

Held Hostage by HYDRA
Campbell awoke inside a cell in a HYDRA research base, when he regained his sense Deathlok spoke to him through the wall, introducing himself as Agent Mike Peterson of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Campbell suggested Peterson should use one of his weapons to help them escape but he assured him that HYDRA had disabled his weapons, leaving them helpless. Campbell explained that Gordon would not come to their rescue as HYDRA was tracking him, in the hopes he would led them to Afterlife, seeing they were more or less helpless, Campbell introduced himself. Shortly afterward the pair were gassed and knocked out ready for experimentation.

After being taken away by the HYDRA scientist Doctor List, Campbell was forced to endure terrible torture during HYDRA's experiments to try and understand his powers. HYDRA cut him open to try and remove his organs to examine his DNA, causing his heart to stop. While Campbell died, the base was attacked by Phil Coulson and a team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, including Skye. After killing many HYDRA agents, Skye located Campbell and used his own electricity powers to restart his heart, saving his life. She then took Campbell out of the base along with Mike Peterson before the base was destroyed.

Powers
"It took a while to get it controlled. When I first got here, I almost burned the place down, literally. But now, sky's the limit. No pun intended, I guess."
