Character history
Tommy is first seen attending a support group for evos as he was seeking advice on how to control his abilities. Tommy fails at getting advice. Tommy leaves the support group after getting a text from his mother saying she was home. Tommy later heard about everyone in the support group being murdered. The next day at school, Tommy is punched by Brad, a high school bully when he catches him staring at his girlfriend, Emily. Emily takes pity on Tommy and offers him a job at Moe's Ice Cream Parlor. Tommy accepts, and the two quickly become friends. While there, Tommy notices Luke Collins sitting at a table and recognizes him as a survivor of the church fire the previous night. Tommy approaches Luke and asks him what happened. They are immediately joined by Joanne, who shows Tommy her gun and tells him to step outside. Sensing that something is wrong, Emily follows them and calls out for Tommy. Joanne decides to kill them both, but before she can, Tommy teleports her gun away, then her and her husband. Knowing that Emily now knows he is an evo, Tommy runs away. Emily follows him in her car and tells him that his secret is safe with her.
Tommy and Emily sit in a gardening shed outside their school and discuss the workings of his ability. Tommy demonstrates it by teleporting away a flower in Emily's hand, but is seen by Brad. When Emily leaves, Brad confronts Tommy and tells him that he'll have to do something for him if he wants to keep his power a secret. Tommy agrees, so Brad takes him to his house to ask him to make his abusive step father disappear. A man watches Tommy flee from inside his car and determines that something is wrong. The man walks up to Brad's house, gains the attention of Brad’s step father, and then begins to remove his memories. When Brad gets back, he sees that his step father is missing and assumes that it was Tommy's doing. Eternally grateful to Tommy, Brad befriends him and leaves. Later that evening, Emily discovers the flower that Tommy made vanish inside a bucket of ice cream. She deduces that the things Tommy makes disappear go to wherever he is thinking of. She tells him this, and he agrees.
When Anne, Tommy’s adoptive mother is injured in a car accident, Tommy offers his blood but isn’t a match and is then told that he has been reported due to being an evo.
