History[]
John Donnelly was an old friend of Lincoln Campbell. Years ago, John had prevented Lincoln from taking his own life and Lincoln came to trust John deeply. In 2015, after being exposed as an Inhuman and accused of murder, Lincoln went on the run and called on John for help. John obliged and took Lincoln back to his apartment to rest. There, Lincoln told John that he was in trouble, though he didn't go into specifics. He offered to buy John's car with cash right then and there and John accepted the offer with no questions asked.
Shortly after arriving at the apartment, however, John turned on the television in his kitchen and saw a news report that mentioned Lincoln as being a dangerous alien who had commited several murders. Despite their friendship, John feared for his life and decided to call the Advanced Threat Containment Unit and turn Lincoln in.
Death[]
After Lincoln awoke from a nap, he walked into John's living room where he saw John appearing nervous. As Lincoln asked what was going on, John grabbed a metal baseball bat and threatened him with it. John confessed to calling the ATCU and told Lincoln that they would arrive shortly to arrest him as he was now convinced that Lincoln was an alien and a murderer. Lincoln tried to convince John that he was not a threat but John refused to listen, ordering him to stay back and await his arrest. Frustrated, Lincoln left the money for John's car and fired a bolt of electricity at John which knocked the bat from his hands. Witnessing Lincoln's power shocked John into a heart attack and he keeled over. Lincoln tried using his electrokinesis to restart his friend's heart, but it didn't work and John died.
