Biography

Comics

Part of The Seven, the premier superhero team of the Boys setting, Jack is like his peers: essentially a celebrity with superpowers rather than a conventional superhero. To the shallow and obnoxious Jack, this arrangement couldn't be better, as he has only ever sought a life of decadent hedonism.

Despite his status as a long-time member of the world's most successful super team, his lack of the star appeal of some of his colleagues, as well as their violent excesses or major powers, means he is seen as fairly unimportant to his corporate sponsors (even more so than The Deep) and the Boys, a CIA-backed team charged with keeping superpowered individuals in line. His teammates likewise see him as unimportant, as they are as self-absorbed as he is. Even the newer recruit, A-train, whom Jack took under his wing to some extent, has little attachment to him and showed little sympathy when Jack met with misfortune.

Although Jack is one of the more innocuous members of the Seven, he shouldn't be regarded as a decent individual, as he is aware of the violent crimes and fatal accidents they cause but shows no concern about them, even playing them down and treating these incidents like jokes. He is later killed by Billy for supposedly killing his dog, and he is unable to activate his invulnerability due to being choked.

TV Series

Jack From Jupiter doesn't appear in the series, but in Season 2 Episode 7, an actor portraying him in a porn parody of The Seven is seen, which is being watched by Lamplighter before Hughie changes the channel in disgust.

Powers and Abilities

• Flight: Jack from Jupiter is capable of flight.
• Invulnerability: By saying the word "Carpo," he is granted an exceptional level of superhuman invulnerability. He doesn't remain in his invulnerable form permanently so as to shoot up. Saying the word, i.e transitioning from non-invulnerable to invulnerable, is painful.
• Heat Vision: He has no formal training in the use of his powers or in handling dangerous situations. Along with the rest of his team, these inadequacies led to disaster when they attempted to stop a terrorist hijacking of a plane.

Trivia

• Jack from Jupiter is based on Martian Manhunter from DC Comics, as they are both alien-based superheroes.
• Although he doesn't officially appear in the Amazon Prime adaptation, he is referenced and appears to have been replaced by the character Translucent. Executive producer Erick Kripe states the reason he was excluded from the show is due to the fact that a literal alien superhero would destroy the rather grounded concept the TV show uses for its superheroes.
