Real Name: Jerome "Jerry" Jaxon
Group Affiliation: Former leader of Omega Flight
First Apearance: Alpha Flight #2

Creator: John Byrne

        Jerome "Jerry" Jaxon was boss to both James Hudson and Heather McNeil at AmCan Petroleum. It was Jaxon who arranged the sale of Hudson's exploratory super-suit to the American military, and it was Jaxon on whom the brunt of executive displeasure fell when Hudson stole the helmet that made operation of the suit possible.

        After the theft Jaxon's life fell apart. First he lost his job. Then his wife left him, taking their child with her. Blacklisted by Am-Can, Jaxon was unable to find work, and he quickly slipped into poverty. In despair he attempted to end his life. Jaxon's suicide attempt was thwarted by his landlady, who found him hanging by his neck when she came for the rent. The lack of oxygen had already caused brain damage, and Jaxon lost the use of his legs.

        Jaxon continued to live his life in despair until the first public appearance of the hero known originally as Vindicator. Jaxon quickly realized that Vindicator's abilities matched those created by Hudson's suit. On impulse he contacted the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense in Ottawa and asked to speak to Hudson. His suspicions were confirmed when Hudson eventually picked up the line.

        Now obsessed with revenge, Jaxon used his contacts in the petroleum industry to arrange a meeting with executives of Roxxon Oil, an American firm with a rather dubious reputation. Jaxon convinced the firm that possession of Hudson's armor would be of benefit to them, and in return Roxxon gave Jaxon the resources to gain his revenge.

        Using a robot known as Delphine Courtney as his "legs" Jaxon recruited the team of operatives that became known as Omega Flight. It is still unknown how Jaxon discovered his operatives' identities. Jaxon himself fought alongside Omega in their first confrontation with Alpha Flight using the Box robot created by Roger Bochs. Jerry Jaxon was killed by feedback from the robot's control helmet when the robot was destroyed by James Hudson.

        Jerome Jaxon was a bureaucrat with no exceptional abilities whatsoever.
