Energy Manipulation
Jax Arx's signature ability is that of energy manipulation, a gift gained from a modification of minor genetic editing and technological implants from his father (a supervillain in his own right, now deceased). His primary forms of displaying his power are through energy absorption/creation (Defensive) and Energy Attacks (Offensive).W E A K N E S S
Burnout/Overloading
Jax is only capable of channeling so much energy through his body/system. If he attempts to absorb too much energy, or expends too much of the energy stored up, he loses most of his functionality and is as helpful as your average joe.B A C K G R O U N D
Jax always had a penchant for getting in trouble. He grew up in the midwest of the U.S. to a supervillain father and a hero brother (his brother sharing the same powers). Ever since he was a kid, his father would perform routine "tests" on him, using the child as a chance to experiment. Jax was lucky to make it out alive when he escaped at the age of 15, let alone with powers. Jax was educated well-enough, and managed to squat for the next few years as he finished high-school and stole everything he needed to survive. Jax often jacked expensive cars in his late adolescence, and enjoyed the freedom of a life of crime.
Jax's life got more complicated after he graduated high school. He attempted to go to college, but was blacklisted as his father's crimes had become a matter of public record. Jax was unable to pursue his dream of being a proper engineer, and so continued his pattern of theft. Until one fateful day when he attempted to steal from the wrong mansion. The owner turned out to be a small-time, local hero (unbeknownst to anyone, let alone Jax). The hero attempted to beat Jax to a bloody pulp, but something snapped half-way through the beating. Jax's anger flared, and blasts of red energy pulsed from his clenched fists. Jax brutally murdered the hero who had attempted to kill him, and Jax's hatred began to seethe through every fiber of his being.
Jax tried to keep a low profile, stealing and killing only to survive. He was wisecracking most of the time, but to say that he was a good person is an utter falsehood. Jax murdered both his father and his brother for his own reasons, easily summed up by a deep hatred for what they had done to Jax in his youth.
When the invasion began, Jax refused to fight to save anyone. He kept his head down and primarily went with the flow, but refused to fully buy into the system. Jax wasn't going to let the alien bastards fuck with his DNA, and he wasn't going to buy into some alien agenda shit. So Jax's anger landed him right in a penal colony in Scotland, the last place Jax wanted to end up.
