== Biography ==
In an account dated to January 1965, John received an emergency call from MI5 agent Jimmy Bondson who claimed that if International Rescue didn't help him the entire world could be destroyed. John relayed this information to father Jeff Tracy who initially questioned why the British Secret Service needed them when they had their own operators and methods. After the threat level was conveyed, however, Jeff told John to inform Bondson that one of their agents would contact him. (TV: The Man from MI.5)
During the heat crisis of 2066, he watched Brains with Alan as he analysed a meteorite sample to determine that it was matter escaped from the Sun. After Jeff lost contact with Thunderbird 3 after it fired a planetomic missile, he asked John to attempt to trace the craft with Alan and Brains inside. He found TB 3 out of control and on a collision course with Venus; Jeff tried to radio the ship to warn its occupants but they had been knocked unconscious by a shockwave produced from the missile's impact. John told Virgil and Gordon, on their way to Venus in Thunderbird 2, that a meteor shower was blocking their current flight plan. Virgil eventually managed to swing clear of the obstacle but not before the ship was hit. (COMIC: Solar Danger)
