Jackson

• Parents came to Earth on purpose. Mission, birthplace, and how much of his childhood was here are still open.
• May 9, 2026: Manhattan. MV1. He wins. The powers were never an experiment and never a recent awakening.
• May 15: Marisol rooftop. He tells Elaia what he is. He hears friendship. He does not fully accept it. G-17 hits. The building goes. She saves 38.
• May 16: he hears the completed Weapon from Miami, flies, and meets it with EJ. He can touch the staff. It still draws blood. They do not beat Kira clean. Her body fails first. He catches her, takes the Weapon, and ends it.
• APEX wants Phanta alive. He carries her south anyway. She reminds him she is a murderer. He says he is aware. Queen City roof. He leaves.

• Superior physiology

  One system. Strength in the island-class range. Durability, flight, combat speed, stamina, hearing across a slice of the eastern seaboard, Caelestis resonance at extreme range. He can hold active Celestial hardware that unmakes ordinary tissue. Not sunlight. Do not try solar deprivation.

• Unconfirmed

  Gravity, inertia, vacuum, radiation, broader cosmic projection. Red ocular glow under load. No proven eye-beam. Not listed as live.

• Celestial force can get through. Sustained Weapon output hurt him.
• He could not finish Weapon-Kira alone.
• Elaia in the room makes him prove something. That is the opening.
• If he is airborne, do not chase him with conventional craft.

Controlled. Protective. Dry. He will save a life he just fought.

Strength is how he thinks he becomes impossible to reject. It is not.

If the choice is APEX or a life, assume the life.

• Elaia Mitchell / Supernova. Friend. He wanted more. She shut that door.
• Kira Reyes / Phanta. He beat her. Then he hid her from APEX.
• EJ Mitchell / Insane. Uneasy ally. They held the line together.
• His parents. Caelestis. Here on purpose. Status unknown.
• MV1. May 9. Down.
• APEX. Benchmark. Also an obstruction.
