Gemini

PERSONAL HISTORY

Joshua Link was a career criminal who possessed a powerful psychic connection to his twin brother, Damian. When both brothers were caught in a freak accident involving an experimental machine mutating their bodies and minds, Joshua developed the ability to link minds with Damian, allowing them to merge into a powerful composite being known as Gemini. However, while Damian remained a moral and composed individual, Joshua was violent and aggressive. Over time, Joshua's personality gained dominance whenever they combined, influencing Gemini's actions toward criminal activity.

Joshua joined the criminal cartel known as the Zodiac, assuming the codename and identity of Gemini, a reference to his twin-powered abilities. In this role, he became a frequent adversary of the superhero Shield Spider. While part of Zodiac, Gemini clashed with several heroes including the Marvels and was part of the team when the Zodiac attempted a mass assassination of everyone born under the Gemini astrological sign using the group's advanced weaponry. Eventually, Joshua began to resist Damian's control and sought to redeem himself. In later years, Joshua operated separately from the Zodiac and had brief associations with other incarnations of the group.

Despite his history, Joshua has occasionally attempted to distance himself from his criminal past, though his connection to Damian continued to burden him. Ultimately, Joshua was murdered along with the other original Zodiac members by a new Zodiac faction composed of Life Model Decoys (LMD), led by a LMD version of Scorpio (Jackson Grant.) He was subsequently replaced by a LMD counterpart programmed to serve the new Zodiac's agenda.
