Isaiah Powell

Isaiah Powell is a student at Tufts University. He is voiced by Mario Da Rosa Jr.

Red Line
Isaiah voted yes on the Red Line referendum. However, when the city descended into chaos, it impacted his commute so badly that he failed his semester. He narrowly managed to get back on track after Red Line regains its infrastructure.

Isaiah was one of the few to know about his aunt Isabelle Powell's agoraphobia. He was confused about why she chose to keep it a secret. When he asked her, she told him that she didn't want to dignify her condition by publicly naming it. Despite his confusion, he still supported her, and picked her up when she had a phobic attack in Red Line.

The Lottery
Isaiah received a note threatening to reveal Isabelle's secret. He called Isabelle to warn her and then went to meet the blackmailer on a Red Line train. He tried to push his way onto the train, not knowing that it was the home of Chuck Octagon's wedding. His efforts caught the attention of Emily Bespin, who reported his presence to the police.

Unbeknownst to Isaiah, Phil West broke into his apartment, leaving behind tools and empty cans of baked beans. He also took Isaiah's student ID and left it at a crime scene. Not long afterwards, The Lottery attacked, spraying scalding hot baked beans into Chuck's wedding car. Isaiah was arrested in connection to the attacks.

Isabelle began furiously lobbying for Isaiah's release. She locked the doors to her rail car and encouraged any Red Line citizens who believed in his innocence to do the same. Some cars began hanging "Free Isaiah" signs from their windows.

Physical appearance
Isaiah Powell is black, making him one of few characters in the show with a canonical race.
