Mia Kincaid

Mia "Grace" Kincaid is the Main Protagonist of the comic book series Fallen Heroes published by Infinite Comics.

Mia, an enthusiast for superheroes, has her life turned upside down when she comes face-to-face with Unity, an all-powerful superhero not seen since the devastating event known as The Fracture. An upbeat yet determined person, Mia resolves to work with a reluctant Unity to find her father, who was an unfortunate casualty in the Fracture Event, and whom she believes is still alive.

## History

### Early Life

Mia Grace Kincaid was born 06/09/2007 to Kiana Kincaid and an unnamed father, later revealed to be the superhero Steel Shadow. Her father would become a casualty of The Fracture after he helped fight an alien race known as The Deviance when Mia was Two-Years-Old, and although Kiana tried to discourage her from it, Mia would grow up wanting to know who her father was, garnering a belief in Superheroes, who had been outlawed by the United Nations. Mia's belief of superheroes caused her to become a social Outcast, particularly in Liberty School of Science and Art, a High School that she attends. To that extent, she was bullied by Miranda Lipsey, a popular student who has bullied Mia since childhood.

### First Interaction with a Superhero

Whilst looking at hidden footage of a superhero saving a family from a fire , Mia encounters a strange individual named Emiko Takaya, who is acting suspiciously. Mia decides to follow Takaya, but accidentally witnesses her murdering arms dealer Deacon Bronx. Takaya takes notice of Mia and gives chase to her. Mia manages to hide, but a phone call from her mother gives her location away. However, before Takaya can kill Mia, the latter is saved by a mysterious shadow, whom Mia immediately recognizes as the seemingly deceased superhero Unity. When she tries to thank him, he escapes.

Mia returns home, only to be scolded by her mother for ignoring her calls. The next day at school, Mia tells everyone that she met Unity, but nobody believes her, and Miranda mocks her for it, labelling her a liar. To that extent, she has a meeting with school counselor Theodore Hope, who tells her to stop living in a fantasy world and start living in the real world, but this only fuels Mia further. At home, whilst hiding from the bullies, she speaks to a mysterious individual, who sends a picture of a cafe that Unity was seen working at. When she heads into the cafe, she is shocked to see that Unity is her server. When Unity asks her to leave, Mia instead orders some food, but promises to leave once she gets some answers regarding the Sentinels fight with The Deviance. Unity refuses to reveal any information, and warns her to stay away from him.

At the cafe, Mia notices Miguel Arratia and immediately recognizes him as a journalist that used to follow Unity's exploits. Miguel is surprised that Mia recognizes him, but when Mia presses about wanting to speak to Unity, Miguel tells her that he can't help. After a few hours, as Unity is about to finish his shift, Mia stops him and asks why he is avoiding her. Unity explains that he is tired of fighting, and no longer has faith in superheroes since The Fracture. He asks Mia to stop chasing superheroes, but Mia reveals that she is the daughter of the superhero Steel Shadow, who was one of the casualties of the Fracture. Unity explains that he knows, which is why he protected her. As Mia goes to respond, Unity quickly flies towards her to protect her after Mia is targeted by the supervillain Oneshot, who has been hired to kill her. After Unity defeats Oneshot, he returns to Mia and gives her his address, revealing his identity as Benjamin "Ben" Newport before fleeing, wherein Mia is reunited with Kiana.

The next day, Mia skips school to go and meet Ben at his apartment, but discovers it is filthy. Ben questions Mia's motives as to why she wants to know more about The Fracture, specifically her father. Ben tells her he doesn't know about her father's fate, believing him to be dead as well as many other heroes. Mia tells Ben that she wants to know why Ben survived when everyone else died, but Ben tells Mia that not everyone died. Mia asks how many other heroes are alive, and whilst Ben does not answer at first, eventually relents and tells her that whilst some heroes survived, due to the United Nations' decree of no more superheroes, they were forced to go into hiding, and those that still operated ended up on the run. Mia begins to suspect her father may still be alive, but Ben tells her that he saw Steel Shadow die. Mia decides to go out looking for other superheroes to bring them back, but Ben warns her against it, citing the danger it may hold against her, as many people will be looking for her.

Afterwards, Mia leaves but runs into Miranda once again. Sick of Miranda's constant torment and bullying, Mia punches Miranda in the nose, breaking it. She runs home, and begins asking Kiana questions about her father. Kiana, however, dodges the question, prompting Mia to get in touch with the mysterious individual once again, asking them to meet her in the cafe.

## Personality

Mia Kincaid is an upbeat individual despite the trauma she has endured most of her life, including the seeming death of her father and the relentless bullying she has received at School. She is also very resilient, using words to help her get out of tough situations, although she relies on overuse of superheroes to help her get out of her predicaments.
