Standing at 5'11", he bears the standard qualities of someone that has an ectomorph body type, such as an almost linear build and being relatively thin in frame. His visage is highlighted by a protruding brow casting a natural shadow over his downturned, steel-blue eyes and one may notice a vague hint of an overbite when he is smiling. Despite his unassuming appearance, he bears a considerably taut musculature due to the nature of his supernatural abilities.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong><br/>Like most other people, Jason is an individual with a few qualities that are emphasized higher than others that still bear the same grounds for inconsistency and hypocrisy. To put it simply, he is "one of the boys", although there are aspects about him that set a higher standard for maturity than some. He works hard, so he can play harder. With the aspirations to follow his father's footsteps in law enforcement, he deeply cares about the well-being of his community and passionately believes that those that do evil onto others should be punished accordingly. Where he differs from his father, however, is his concerns are mainly focused on a smaller scale. He does not believe that his actions have wide-reaching effects and that he should only pay attention to his and his own.<br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Body Supremacy:</strong> Jason's mutant ability activated a long time ago, although he was not aware of it at the time. Until recent events, people believed he was simply blessed or gifted. In truth, he naturally exceeds the the average human's physical capabilities by a significant margin. His musculature is capable of utilizing it's full body mass whereas the average human utilizes twenty to thirty percent.  This grants him absolute peak human performance with the additional benefit of producing less lactic acid build-up.<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Enhanced Strength:</strong> Jason can lift, push, pull, and carry roughly five times his body weight.</li><li><strong>Enhanced Speed:</strong> Jason is capable of sprinting up to speeds that exceed most Olympic level athletes.</li><li><strong>Enhanced Stamina:</strong> Jason can keep himself going for longer periods of time before exhaustion begins to kick in.</li><li><strong>Enhanced Durability:</strong> Jason can take more of a beating that the average person.</li></ul></li></ul><br/><strong>Flaws/Weaknesses:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Boy Scout:</strong> Jason swore to live as lawfully obligated as possible with a strict moral compass.  He will not sacrifice his personal obligations for anything because in his mind, doing so makes him no better than his father whom he shares an estranged love/hate relationship with.</li><li><strong>Commitment Issues:</strong> Jason's never fully recovered from losing his baby sister and is inherently terrified of losing someone else close to him.  Because of this, he fears getting involved with anyone beyond professional relations or casual affairs.</li></ul><br/><strong>History:</strong><br/>Jason Rhodes was born on August 27, to a law-enforcement father, Jeremih Rhodes (26), and a cosmetologist mother, Monique Bradley (22).  At an early age, Jason began to idolize his father’s commitment to civic protection and spent enough time at the Jersey City Police Department to know most of them by name.  The majority of his childhood revolved around other police officer’s children as friends or going out to social events hosted by law enforcement.  After passing kindergarten, he enrolled into a self-defense class taught by a retired cop and was already learning the finer details about firearm safety.  The complications of living as the son of a cop didn’t begin until his pre-adolescent years. Jason was restricted to an eight o’clock curfew, often barring him from hanging out with friends or preventing visits at their homes.  He often felt conflicted with being frustrated at his parent’s over-protectiveness.  Fortunately, he was able to balance time spent at shooting ranges during family outings and playing for his school’s basketball team.  It was also common for him to hears friends say it was cool to have a cop as a father while coping with the absence during holidays or school games.  Nevertheless, the time they did spend together amount to some of Jason’s most happiest moments, especially when they watched a home game of the Detroit Pistons.<br/><br/>At the age of 13, Jason waited out the anticipated arrival of a baby sister.  He took the news as motivation to start applying more focus into providing for family.  He knew that one day he may become man of the house and that the responsibility of protection fell on him.  It was a way to emulate his father and he accepted it with eager pride.  It didn’t come without difficulty, however. Trying to force himself into so much at once resulted in dropped marks in school and even into a few fights.  It wasn’t until his position on the basketball team was in question that Jason approached his father to receive wisdom.  Once again, the respect in his father was revitalized and enhanced further. After winning the State Championship game, Jason celebrated the rest of the school year alongside Aubrey de los Santos.  They started dating in secret, mostly to avoid his father doing a background check and forcing into their relationship.  Additionally, she was not the most positive of influences in Jason’s behavior.  It became common for him to sneak out at night and prowl the streets but they never got into extremely dangerous acts.  He believed the lack of response out of his parents told him everything was fine until Aubrey’s father was arrested for drug possession. Jason let his emotions cloud judgement and confront his father, accusing him of being unfair with the law.  After his father revealed that he knew everything already, he listened to a lecture that reinforced the ideals of a police officer.  They had a brief time of being distant, especially with Aubrey manipulating him by acting like the victim.  Eventually, their intimacy wore thin and they decided to stay as friends.  It was only days later that father and son reconciled their relationship and took a day out playing laser tag.  The night was concluded with a lengthy heart-to-heart between them.<br/><br/>On July 11th, the Rhodes' celebrated his baby sister’s third birthday and held the party among friends, mostly comprised of other law enforcement families.  It all came to an abrupt halt, however, after another officer confronted Jereimih and barked out accusations of being a dirty cop.  With the tension high and not willing to ruin his daughter’s party, Jason watched the two take a ride leaving the others to question things.  Nonetheless, the party came to a close and everyone left.  His father came back home later that night bruised up and caused a fuss, reassuring that everything was going to work out.  Unfortunately, it was a lie and men stormed into their home after midnight with guns drawn. They collected all four of them in the living room, tying Jason’s father to a chair where he was brutally beaten by a man in a suit.  Jason, his mother and his baby sister heard how their idolized father figure truly was a corrupt cop and tried to cheat criminals out of paying money to stay out of jail.  Eventually, Jason’s sister ripped from her mother’s arms and tried to run and hide only to have a trigger-happy thug shoot her in surprise. The thug immediately received a bullet in the head from the man in a suit and they started to panic and run away.  The man in the suit’s parting gift was a bullet in the father’s spine and the horrific disposal of a murdered thug who killed the youngest in the household.<br/><br/>Life for Jason took a miserable turn afterwards, facing the funeral of his beloved baby sister and the arrest of Jereimih for a plethora of things.  Jason was furious and disappointed at his now paraplegic inmate of a father to the point of resentment.  To make things worse, his faith in the legal system had all but shattered, making him not see beyond the fact the man responsible for the sister’s death had not been caught.  Convinced that they were not working hard enough to bring justice, he hatched a plan of his own.  One night, he snuck into his father’s study room and donned the stored tactical gear and balaclava.  Loading up with a sidearm and other tools he thought he needed, Jason set out like other vigilantes he heard of on the news to do things himself. For three months, Jason spent nearly every night beating down petty thugs for information, handling the loss of sleep, plummeting grades and worry from his mother over bruises.  It wasn’t until he saw one of the men that stormed in the house that he caught his break.  After brutally crippling the man in question, Jason had his lead and recklessly charged headfirst into danger.  The man in the suit owned a yacht where he was hosting a private party for the evening.  After scouting things out, Jason assaulted the guards and fought his way to his target.  The fight immediately began to attract law-enforcement attention after the ship mysteriously detonated. With the man’s face severely scarred from the explosion, Jason was able to make short work of him on the pier while the yacht sank.<br/><br/>As Jason heard the sirens fast approaching in the distance, he began to rush off despite his injuries. Much to his surprise, a group of individuals had intercepted him as he turned out of an alleyway onto a less traveled road. Although on guard, he could only resign to the fact that his injuries were not as severe as they should be when it was pointed out. Learning of his status as a mutant, he worked with Charles Xavier to convince his mother that he had found a college that suited his goals and joined Xavier's Institute of Higher Learned soon thereafter.
