* Icicle
* Voyeur

**Jordan Mahkent** was the main antagonist of the The CW and DC Universe series *Stargirl.*

He was a meticulous businessman and founder and CEO of The American Dream. He wanted to leave the world a better place than the one he lived in, by creating Project New America, which would effectively alter the minds of millions of people. He sought out those who ruined the world or interfered with his plans, and destroyed them as the supervillain **Icicle**. He led the Injustice Society of America to create Project New America, and was a machiavellian, as he believed the ends justify the means.

He aligned himself with the Ultra-Humanite and Dragon King to spy on the residents of Blue Valley as the **Voyeur**, until his true form healed and he returned to the town. His return led the JSA to fight their greatest foes yet.

Jordan was the father of Cameron Mahkent, the son of immigrants Sofus and Lily, and the widower of Christine.

## Biography

Jordan was born to Lily and Sofus Mahkent in Norway. His family faced persecution for their cryokinetic gifts, with many burned at the stake like witches. Lily and Sofus took Jordan to America to escape this cycle of violence. Jordan developed his family gift of controlling ice. Growing up, his parents taught him to control his powers and he later used his powers to pursue his goals of a better America. He founded The American Dream to rebuild America one town at a time.

Jordan was in Trafalgar Square in London when he first met Christine, a talented artist. They ate lunch in the same park and she'd sketch while Jordan watched. He was nervous to ask her out as another man was pursuing her, whom he implied to have killed to be her only suitor. When Jordan finally grew the courage to speak with Christine, she showed him page after page of the amazing drawings she had made - of him. She had liked him too and was just waiting for him to approach her. They later married and had a son together, Cameron.

During an unknown time, Jordan founded the Injustice Society of America and collected various individuals with an array of talents or gifts. His collection of supervillains was doubted by reluctant allies, and he was ultimately betrayed by one of his members. Jordan, under his moniker of Icicle, made fast enemies with the Justice Society of America, a team of superheroes who sought to protect the world. As Icicle, he fought individual members of their team several times over the years before the culmination of their feud on December 24, 2010. The battle resulted in the destruction of the JSA. Jordan moved his family and team to Blue Valley, Nebraska to further pursue his dream of Project New America. In 2011, the ISA was tracked by Hourman, one of the few survivors of the Los Angeles battle. Jordan learned Hourman's real identity was Rex Tyler and he was married. Jordan ordered Solomon Grundy to assassinate Rex and his wife Wendi.

Christine worked as a school teacher at a newly built school. Bannerman Chemicals built the school Christine worked at on top of a former chemical waste dump. The chemicals Christine was exposed to everyday caused her to develop cancer. In 2012, Christine lay in Jordan's bed at home, dying. Jordan brought their eight-year-old son Cameron to see his mother, so could have a chance to say goodbye. She died that night only moments after she made Jordan promise to do whatever it took to complete his mission - even if he had to kill anyone who got in his way.

Jordan left Blue Valley and temporarily resigned his leadership of the ISA to William Zarick. His son, Cameron, was primarily raised by Jordan's elderly parents Sofus and Lily. Jordan traveled around the country searching for the people responsible for his wife becoming ill. He also observed the state of the country and took notes on how broken the country was and the forgotten small towns.

## Series

### Season 1

Ten years ago, Icicle fights the Justice Society of America alongside his fellow Injustice Society of America members. A war between mind and will proceeds between Starman and Brainwave until which Brainwave breaks and is hit with a beam of light from the Cosmic Staff. Starman turns but is stabbed with a dagger of ice in the chest, and falls to the floor, as Icicle descends the stairs. When Starman and Stripesy escape the mansion, Icicle watches the car fly away and commands Solomon Grundy with one word to follow the car. Grundy manages to damage the car but the heroes escape while Icicle and the rest of the ISA look on.

Henry King Sr./Brainwave calls a mysterious man, who is visiting a graveyard. Henry informs the man that someone had picked up the Cosmic Staff and taken over the mantle of Starman. Henry believes that this new person came after his son on purpose after targeting him. Jordan tries to rationalize with Henry, saying it is unlikely and tells him to do nothing until he returns. They hang up and Jordan has a serious look on his face.

The next night, Brainwave is defeated by Stargirl, just as Jordan returns to Blue Valley. Back in the heart of town, Jordan Mahkent arrives in a black car in front of The American Dream. Inside the closed building, he presses his hand on a hidden screen which opens a door disguised as part of the wall. Walking through the subterranean tunnels, he greets Solomon Grundy, who locked behind a thick metal door. Jordan arrives arriving at the main ISA headquarters table, meeting Steve Sharpe. Steve shows Jordan the footage of the Stargirl|bespectacled hero who defeated Brainwave. Jordan whispers that he killed one Starman, and will kill another. As his breath condenses, the screen before him begins to freeze over.

In a flashback to eight years ago, Jordan holds his son's hand and leads him into a bedroom, where a woman lay dying. He urges Cameron to say goodbye to his mother and is Jordan tries to cover his grief. Cameron gave her a drawing of a flower from her garden, to which she happily thanks him. She expresses her pride toward him and hugs him close. She tells him to never stop drawing as he is talented. Jordan can hardly bear to look at the children. She expresses her love for him, with him emotionally returning the sentiment. The heart monitor suddenly begins to accelerate and scared Cameron. Jordan quickly pulls Cameron into him, saying that it's alright. Cameron runs out of the room but the cardiac event subsides a few moments later. Jordan takes his wife's hand. He tells her he'll make the world pay for what it did to her, but she begs him to continue his mission and make the world safe for their son. With her last breath, she makes him promise to destroy anyone who tries to stop him then dies. Overcome with grief, Jordan runs out of the house and into the garden's where he lets out an emotional scream and freezes the garden in an explosive cryokinetic episode.

In the present day, Jordan visits Henry King Sr. at Blue Valley Medical Center. As he's leaving he attempts to call William Zarick, who consistently dodges Jordan's calls. TO make a point, Jordan waits for William at the Zarick's porch. He delivers the news that Brainwave is in a coma. William tells him that Brainwaves' son was attacked by someone using Starman's staff and knew that Brainwave called Jordan. Jordan asks William why he didn't call him, and tells him to sit down. William reluctantly does and confesses that it was a girl but Henry said he'd take care of it. Jordan reiterates that William was supposed to take care of things in his absence, but Brainwave was insistent, unlike William who was always hesitant. William shoots back that he was the one who cleaned everything up, who found Brainwave, took him to the hospital, took care of the suit, and came up with the story. Jordan disapprovingly reflects on William's story, how he killed his master before his lessons were completed, and never thinks big, continuing to perform the small show. As a politician, he makes promises he can't keep, just as he did with Jordan. Jordan lectures that power doesn't come from one's perception of you but from within, saying how he hunted everyone responsible for his wife's toxic exposure and subsequent death. He did it to fulfill Christine's dying wish to combat injustice. William agrees, and Jordan stands, ensuing a pregnant moment of silence before praising him. Project: New America is Jordan's destiny, and Jordan wants it for William's too, but he's in charge now and will take care of Stargirl.

At The American Dream, Jordan introduces himself as the new boss and restates his promise to a past loved one about making America a safer place for their children. He explains that he is a child of immigrants, and has traveled across the country and seen people in forgotten communities that are in need. He's met with applause, and Steve Sharpe adds that they'll continue the revitalization of downtown. As he points out addresses, Barbara makes a noise that catches Jordan's attention. He spurs her to speak, and Barbara, stepping forward, tells him it used to be a community theater where residents would put on plays and such. Steven informs her it's been operating at a loss for years. Dejected, she turns away, but Jordan tells her it's a good idea and wants to go with her idea over Steven's. Steven protests but Jordan tells him to make it happen. Jordan then asks for her name, and Barbara responds, smiling. He takes note of her name and returns the smile.

At work, Barbara is rearranging her family's photos when Jordan unexpectedly walks in, spooking her. This causes the items to fall to the ground. They both get to the ground to pick up the pieces, and he notices the photos. He tells her she has a lovely family, and wanted to say something. Barbara interrupts, saying she understands if he changed his mind about the theater. However, he states he's assembled a task group solely for the new community theater project, much to her surprise. Their new meeting is at 6:30 and he wonders if she'll join them, but Barbara can't as she has family dinner. She says she can go to the next one and apologies once more but Jordan understands that her family is more important. He tells her to call him by his first name.

That afternoon, Jordan leaves Stargirl a message in Blue Valley Park. As she approaches the section, she begins to feel cold wind and winter weather. She looks down to see a frozen star in the middle of a field, which scares her as she realizes the message is from Icicle. She returns home and enlists S.T.R.I.P.E.'s help. He and Stargirl fly to the field. However, they discover that the ice has melted. Feeling a cold wind, she jumps off the robot as two ice daggers hit S.T.R.I.P.E., freezing the robot's controls and locking Pat in. Looking around for Icicle, she runs to the woods against Pat's wishes.

In the woods, Stargirl looks around her surroundings with caution as the Staff warbles in her hands. As she nears the lakefront, the Staff emits a higher warble and takes the punch of an incoming ice dagger. She loses her balances and falls to the ground as Icicle approaches. He says hello as she points the ice-covered Staff at him, which seems incapacitated at the moment. He says goodbye to her as he raises his hand but suddenly turns to see S.T.R.I.P.E.'s rocket fist before it hits him. Icicle hangs on to the fist until he is deposited across the lake into a bridge as it flies back.

On land, Stargirl frantically tells S.T.R.I.P.E. that Icicle is on the bridge, which a Blue Valley High bus is approaching, as Pat tries to defrost. Looking to see the bus, Icicle touches his hand on the ground and freezes the road. The bus driver notices and begins to swerve, turning the bus at a sharp right degree towards the side of the bridge until it's tipping off the bridge at its halfway mark. Stargirl looks at the scene with fright, but Pat manages to free himself and flies to grab the bus before it falls to the water. The robot safely puts the bus back on the bridge and flies away. Inside, the students begin to file out. A traumatized Joey slumps on the side of the bridge, beginning to collect his cards. Icicle, back on land, blows a powerful swoosh of breath that reaches far enough to impact Joey and his cards, flying them into the air. Joey begins to collect them back, not seeing a red car approaching, the road still slick with ice. Stargirl screams his name, but it's too late - Icicle has killed Joey.

At the Mahkent house, Jordan and his parents are in the living room when they hear loud banging from the front door. Jordan goes to investigate and finds William, who angrily pushes through the door and demands to know if it was an accident. He begs Jordan to tell him that he didn't mean to kill his son. Jordan tries to comfort William, but he pushes Jordan away and whips out his wand, screaming about wanting answers. Jordan puts his hands up and tells him to calm down, then touches the wand. Ice races through the wand and up William's arm. Jordan soothes his dying friend, telling him he wished he understood he was doing it for his son, and for him. William freezes to death on the floor, now only a corpse statue of ice. Jordan's parents come out and examine the scene. In Norwegian, he apologizes that they had to see this, but his mother replies in the same tongue that they'll clean it up. His father tells Jordan he has work to do.

That night, Cameron arrives home and tries to get a snack before dinner but is scolded by his grandmother for trying to eat before dinner. He smiles but is questioned by Jordan for being late. He tells his father they had a memorial for Joey claiming Joey was a good kid. They hug, and Cameron sneaks a snack before heading out of the kitchen, prompting a chuckle from Jordan. Cameron's grandmother tells Jordan that what he is doing is for the best as he's building a safer place for Cameron.

A few days later, Jordan encounters Dr. Ito in the underground ISA headquarters. The doctor self-monologues, remarking how he was the one who believed in the ISA the most. Jordan makes chit chat - Dr. Ito says he's been busy working on his daughter. Jordan says he's accelerating Project: New America and needs him to build his machine. Dr. Ito agrees, relishing that it's finally time and that this generation's ultimate sacrifice will protect the next. He adds that he won't fail him like The Wizard did, saying he was quite vile. A moment passes and he asks if he can have Wizard's body. Unsettled, Jordan tentatively says yes.

Jordan sleeps soundly in his bed as puffs of compensated air appear from his mouth. He suddenly awakens with a start and places his hand on the other side of the bed, as if he was expecting someone to be there. He grows sad for a moment and then rolls onto his side where a family picture of him, Cameron, and Christine sits on his end table. He picks up his phone and sees a text message from Anaya Bowin saying simply, "*The gym rats are at it again*".

He tries to leave the house quietly but Cameron hears his father rustling around and opens his bedroom door, catching his father leaving the house. Cameron asks if everything is okay, as it's very late. Jordan assures his son that everything is fine and he should go back to bed. Cameron leads against the doorframe and carefully states that he knows today is a difficult day. Jordan nods trying to hide his emotions, telling Cameron he loves him and will be back shortly. Cameron watches his father leave.

In the woods, Larry and Paula bicker as they bury the coach's dead body, and are confronted by an irritated Jordan. He tells the pair this is the third coach in two seasons they've eliminated, and Anaya's getting tired of replacing coaches. Larry says he's only doing what's best for his daughter. Jordan reiterates that *Project: New America* will ensure her a safe future. Larry's tired of waiting and wants to get back in the game already, and Paula's sick of the small-town living. Jordan announces that they will clean this mess up and take care of any loose ends. As he's leaving, he remarks that they should get their suits out - they're going in action tonight, much to their glee.

That night, Jordan and Cameron go to Richie's Diner where the waitress brings over a piece of cake with a lit candle. She overheard them talking about someone's birthday and asks which one of them is celebrating. Cameron and Jordan exchange a remorseful look before Cameron slowly explains that it's his mom's birthday, with Jordan adding in that it *was* her birthday. The waitress realizes her mistake and apologizes profusely for the mistake, offering to take the cake away. Jordan tells her it's okay and to leave it so the waitress goes to a different table. He and Cameron have an awkward moment before Jordan slides the cake towards Cameron, telling him to make a wish for his mother. Cameron pauses then obliges, and very faintly, his breath can be seen blowing out the candle.

He goes to The American Dream where he is working until he sees Barbara. He scurries to her side and asks her to accompany him to Oakville for the acquisition of an old sewing factory. He believes her knowledge and passion will help him secure the factory and will allow her to gain more experience. She wants to accept but asks if she can check with Pat Dugan, her husband, first. Jordan agrees to let her sort things out with her family but to let him know if she can go. Barbara later confirms that she can, indeed, go with him to Oakville.

Jordan calls the ISA together for a meeting following Tigress and Sportsmaster's showdown with the Justice Society of America. He is quiet as he listens to Larry recount the events of his fight. Paula believes that if this new JSA is children then the ISA's children should be recruited to help find the JSA. Anaya Bowin disagrees due to her fear that Isaac is too sensitive for this way of life. The group had previously agreed to keep their children out of it. Paula snaps that it isn't their fault that Anaya coddles her son. Jordan stops their fighting quickly by saying they aren't getting their children involved, much to Paula's chagrin. Jordan also decides to postpone Project New America until they can weed out these children. He refuses to believe they are the new JSA, as they killed the Golden Age before. As he gives out his orders he hears a rustling at the top of the steps to the headquarters and gazes curiously at the source, but ceases to see anything as Dragon King yanked his daughter away before Jordan could see her.

He returns to his home and is packing for a business trip when Cameron returns home from school. Jordan greets his son but Cameron doesn't respond and keeps walking, lost in thought, and looking upset over something. Jordan notices and calls to him in a slightly more stern tone that catches Cameron's attention. Cameron turns around and, after some prompting by Jordan admits that the Homecoming dance is coming up. Jordan nods and coaxes the issue from his son. Cameron admits that there's this girl that he wants to go with, but is nervous to ask her out of fear of rejection. Jordan admits that he was hesitant to ask Christine out, claiming that he was scared as there was another man pursuing her. Cameron smiles as Jordan tells his story, eventually asking what his father did since there was another man. Jordan nonchalantly states that he killed him which makes Cameron laugh, as he believes it to be a joke. Jordan then tells Cameron that he was put on the earth to find love, and should be happy. Take a risk and ask her. Cameron thanks his father and begins to walk away, then tells Jordan that mom would want him to be happy too before walking off.

That night in Oakville, Barbara and Jordan have dinner together. Barbara comments to Jordan how nice their hotel is. He says it was recommended by a friend and takes a moment to thank her for their successful sale - he couldn't have done it without her. She is surprised by his compliment so she merely smiles at him. He has to leave to meet a friend but encourages her to have dessert. The bill has already been settled with the restaurant so she doesn't have to worry and should get whatever she wants. Barbara thanks him for his generosity so Jordan bids her good night. As he walks away, Jordan looks back at Barbara and smiles at her.

In a hotel room across town, Jordan greets a man named Ed Reilly who enters the room. Jordan tells Mr. Reilly that he's waiting for him, and Mr. Reilly retorts to keep waiting as he reaches for the door handle. However, he finds the doorknob and his hand frozen in ice, much to his pain. Reaching over at the tabletop, Jordan compliments the man for his success with a chemical company, noting it was a far cry from his previous employment at Bannerman. Reilly asks Jordan what he wants. Jordan replies he wants a country free of companies like Bannerman who poisons water supplies and watches public schools be built over bulldozed lots. He doesn't want community members of the public schools to get sick and die. Jordan tells him of Christine Mahkent, a schoolteacher who loved her students as much as she loved her own son. Ed claims that he didn't have anything to do with that project. Jordan agrees that while Ed didn't get rich off the project like his superiors, he knew what Bannerman was doing and didn't blow the whistle. Doing this could have saved lives, including his own. Just then, blue ice ripples through Jordan's skin until he becomes encases like Icicle. Ed is terrified and turns to run when Jordan and uses his breath to freeze the business to death. Ed becomes encased in ice then tips over and shatters on the floor. Icicle crosses his legs and watches the destruction.

The next day, Jordan returns to Blue Valley and calls a meeting with the ISA. The members bicker slightly between themselves until Anaya asks if Jordan had something he wanted to tell the group. Jordan states that it isn't he who has something to say, but Dr. Ito, who enters the room with his minions. The rest of the ISA is instantly uncomfortable with the doctor's presence but mask their disdain with quiet. Dr. Ito addresses the room before asking if he can sit, which Jordan responds with an eager "of course". He then urges Dr. Ito to tell the group his news. Jordan watches happily as Dr. Ito explains that they can push forward with Project New America as he has discovered that Henry King Jr. has his father's telepathic abilities. He explains that with Henry's powers, they can broadcast the same signal and assume control over every developed mind in six states, carving out their "new America".

Jordan resumes his work at The American Dream later in the day. He is visited by Barbara, who apologizes for having to leave their business trip early. He tells her not to apologize and asks how her daughter, Courtney, is recovering after her car accident. Barbara assures Jordan that Courtney is recovering at home. He's glad that Courtney is okay but has a solemn expression on his face. Barbara asks if he's alright to which he confides that he's been working a specific project for many years, and now that it's close to completion, he thought he would feel more accomplished. But the project forced him to travel quite a bit, which cost him precious time with his son. He thought it would all be worth it in the end, but he isn't so sure of that anymore. He brushes it off by telling Barbara there isn't anything a little family time can't fix. He adds half to himself, that Christine used to always make a family dinner once he came back from a trip. He thanks Barbara again for stopping by, and she leaves the room, only to stop halfway and ask if he and his family are busy tonight. He looks at her inquisitively.

Jordan, his parents, and Cameron go to the Whitmore-Dugan household for dinner that night. Courtney answers the door and is surprised to see Cameron, her high school crush. Cameron greets her happily and the Mahkent's enter the household. Jordan extends his sympathies to Courtney for her accident, attempting to shake her hand though the gesture is awkward since Courtney can't shake his hand properly due to her bandages. They chuckle awkwardly and Jordan shakes her hand the best he can, saying it's great to finally meet her. He then moves out of the way so his mother can greet Courtney. He smiles as he enters the household.

The families sit for dinner with Jordan complimenting Barbara for the beautiful food that she's prepared. She thanks him but differs credit to Pat. The group is about to eat when Jordan asks if the Whitmore-Dugan's mind if his family says a Norwegian prayer beforehand. The family is fine with it, so Jordan and his parents clasp their hands and say a Norwegian prayer that only the three of them understand. The prayer blesses the fallen land of Nifelheim, the Norwegian version of Hell, and thanks to their great ancestors so they may lay power in the food and them so their enemies might suffer. The prayer ends and Courtney looks at Cameron who chuckles saying that he took French, making everyone laugh. Barbara stands and begins to dish out food exchanging borderline flirtatious words with Jordan, who smiles at the woman.

Dinner goes well with Jordan asking Courtney about her gymnastics skills, saying that Cameron's mentioned it before. Courtney laughs nervously, looking at Cameron, before saying that she *was* a gymnast. Barbara chimes in that Courtney was the best on her team back in Valley Village. Jordan comments that he has a lot of respect for athletes. Barbara asks Cameron about his artistic skills, implying that Courtney's talked about him too. Cameron looks at Courtney before saying that he uses mostly paints, to which Lily adds, "like his mother." Jordan averts his eyes at the mention of his wife.

Jordan diverts the conversation by asking Pat how the mechanic business is going. Pat explains that he mostly fixes up classic cars, but since the town's small, he fixes whatever comes in. Jordan asks why he moved to Blue Valley when he could fix cars anywhere, and Pat replies that the pace and the people around the town are nice. He adds that Barbara grew up in Blue Valley, to which Jordan adds that with the cornfields and the theater nearby, it's the perfect American life. Barbara says that Blue Valley wasn't perfect back then, and Courtney hastily adds that it isn't perfect yet. Jordan claims it's getting there. Barbara agrees with Jordan, saying that Blue Valley is going to be rebuilt on the most important building block of all - families. Sofus tells Lily in Norwegian that he likes Barbara, while Lily replies that Courtney bothers her. Jordan shoots his parents a look as he understands their native tongue.

Jordan finishes his plate of dumplings remarking that he would like more, just as Mike scoops the last one from the bowl. The boy gives a half-hearted apology causing a dark expression to fall over Jordan's face. Pat says he'll get more but Courtney volunteers to get them. She stands up and walks to the kitchen. She opens the oven and retracts her hand back from the scalding hot plate. She grabs the oven mitts and takes them out, bringing them over to Jordan. He reaches for the plate just as she is about to warn him of the heat of the plate. He takes the plate with his bare hands and scoops some into his bowl without any pain. Courtney notices, realization dawning over her that Jordan might be Icicle, while everyone else is distracted by Buddy, the Dugan's dog who steals food from Mike. Courtney sits down next to Cameron and suddenly announces to Pat that she left something in the oven and that it's going to burn. Pat goes with her into the kitchen, and Courtney opens the oven to make it believable as she tells him that she thinks Jordan is Icicle. Pat asks if she's sure, and she tells him about the hot plate. Pat is a little hesitant but Courtney is sure in her deduction.

As the night dwindles to an end, the Mahkent's prepare to leave with Cameron and Courtney exchanging a goodnight hug. When Cameron and his parents leave, Jordan approaches Courtney alone which scares her due to her belief he's Icicle. He asks if Courtney knows the real reason he came over for dinner. Courtney backs up slightly and Jordan puts a hand on her shoulder, asking if she knows. She shrugs, and he says he had to "meet the girl my son has been talking so much about," and says he approves, thanking her for their hospitality. She gives him a forced smile as he leaves the house.

The next evening, Jordan receives word that Brainwave has awakened from his coma. He visits his old friend once Henry leaves for the night. Jordan wakes Brainwave from his nap and greets him happily. They converse with Jordan learning that Brainwave doesn't remember anything from the past ten years. Jordan proudly states the decade-long progress of Project: New America is nearing its reality, but Brainwave is the last piece needed to control every mind within six states. As Henry gets dressed, Jordan excitedly tells Henry about helping people see the light - their light, their way. Brainwave asks about this Stargirl that Jordan was talking about. As he does, the Cosmic Staff crashes into the room, hitting Jordan with a beam of energy that sends him into a wall. Henry immediately neutralizes it, trapping it in place with his mental shield. The Staff cries out in warbled shrieks as Jordan approaches. Jordan touches the tip of the staff and encases it in ice. He smiles as he holds the neutralized staff. Brainwave asks if that is Starman's staff. Jordan tells his friend that all of his questions will be answered when Dr. Ito restores his member. As they step out of the room, Brainwave senses the mental presence of his son, whose hiding nearby. Jordan asks what Brainwave is sensing but the latter claims that it's nothing and they leave.

Meanwhile, Courtney's identity as Stargirl is revealed to Barbara who struggles to accept everything her daughter and husband are saying. Courtney rushes through the history of the JSA and ISA, telling her that Jordan is Icicle and the one who killed Sylvester Pemberton who she believes is her biological father. Across town, Henry watches his father's documentary tapes that Brainwave made during his power progression. He learns that Jordan is the one who lured the JSA to California for a final showdown and is responsible for the death of the Starman. Henry also learns that his mother, Merri, was the sister of Starman and couldn't forgive her husband for his role in her brother's death. Henry mistakenly believes that Jordan is the one who murdered his mother. The next morning, Henry accidentally projects his memories to Courtney and shows her that Jordan has Brainwave and that he previously saw Jordan when his father was admitted to the hospital.

The same morning, Jordan enters Barbara's office with his parents and is surprised to see Pat there. He bumbles that he's happy to see Pat and glad he came to visit but isn't sure why he's here. Pat explains that he came to visit his wife. Jordan awkwardly states that his parents wanted to thank Barbara for dinner last night, and Sofus gives Barbara a plate of cookies. The elders turn to Jordan and begin to talk to him in Norwegian which makes Jordan a little uncomfortable. He brushes them off and tells Barbara that he'll see her later and to say hi to Courtney for him. He then ushers his parents out of the office. That night, Henry confronts Brainwave that night about his mother's death, and Brainwave admits that Jordan didn't kill Merri - he did.

The next morning, Jordan enters his office at The American Dream to find Brainwave waiting for him. The man's memories have been restored by Dr. Ito. Jordan extends his sympathies for the death of Brainwave's son, Henry, but Brainwave doesn't want to talk about it. He instead, counters by saying that he remembers who Stargirl is. He informs Jordan that their arch nemesis is Courtney Whitmore, who Jordan instantly recognizes as Barbara's daughter. Brainwave adds that Jordan might remember his stepfather Pat Dugan as Stripesy, Starman's sidekick from the JSA. Henry announces he's going to go kill the family. Jordan however, declares he won't. Henry asks why not, and reads Joran's mind, outraged to discover he's hesitating because of Courtney's mother. Furious, Jordan demands Henry to get out of his head and admits that the death of her daughter will devastate Barbara. Henry incredulously admits he killed his own wife and son for Project: New America, and Jordan's hesitating because of a woman who works for him. He proposes erasing Barbara's memories of Courtney and Pat, but Jordan tells him no since no one is the same afterward. Henry presses that when he killed his son, he felt his powers grow as if he absorbed his son's abilities into him. Project: America will be even bigger than imagined, as he has the power to reprogram half the country now. It is everything Jordan wanted, everything his wife ever wanted. Brainwave demands that Jordan make up his mind soon or he will. Brainwave leaves and Jordan watches him leave with a tense expression.

Jordan's suspicions of Barbara escalate and he decides to snoop on her work computer. He enters the office and is annoyed to see the cookies his father gave Barbara are still on her desk. He sits at the desk and opens her computer, which is password protected. He calls Steve Sharpe for help in logging into her computer, something Steven is confused about but Jordan commands him to do it. Once logged in, Jordan opens her browser but realizes that her history has been cleared. He tells Steven to restore her deleted browser history and lowers the phone as he sees the news article Barbara looked at last. He clenches his jaw as he looks at the headline, "**Starman Murdered By Icicle**".

That night, Jordan meets with Brainwave at the ISA headquarters to discuss the Whitmore and Stargirl situation. Brainwave reads Jordan's mind and congratulates his friend on making the right decision. Brainwave assures Jordan that he'll eliminate Stargirl, the sidekick, and her mother. Before he leaves, Jordan tells Brainwave to kill the son as well, Mike, noting they can't leave a legacy behind. As Brainwave walks upstairs, Jordan turns to look at a timer on the screen, revealing a twelve-hour countdown for Project New America.

With less than 12 hours to go, Brainwave informs Jordan that the orders to kill Courtney and her family have been given, with Sportsmaster and Tigress on the hunt. Dr. Ito will turn on his machine, and the Gambler will cause a massive communications blackout using Russia as a proxy, and by the time the government realizes it's coming from within the country, it'll be too late. Brainwave warns the reprogramming will come at a great cost, but afterward, they'll think like them. He congratulates Jordan that his dream is about to become reality, and says his wife would be proud. Jordan maintains a stoic face and requests Brainwave to tell him when Stargirl and her family are dead. He leaves the room while Brainwave smirks watching him walk away.

At The American Dream, Jordan's mother Lily remarks in Norwegian that Barbara wouldn't have made a suitable wife, to his father's agreement. Jordan ignores their comments but seems annoyed by their claims. Sofus asks his son if Cameron should know what's going on, but Jordan sharply responds no. Sofus insists he's old enough and it's his birthright. Jordan refuses to discuss it further and steps toward his door as he gets a call from Steve and is informed Stargirl and her family escaped, much to his disappointment. He then makes a call to Anaya Bowen. Anaya goes to the Whitmore-Dugan house and tells the failed assassins that Jordan instructed her to paralyze the Whitmore-Dugan's so Sportsmaster and Tigress can kill them. He wants it done now.

Brainwave succeeds in projecting his telepathy across twenty-five states, causing every adult in Blue Valley to freeze in place as the mental reprogramming takes hold. Jordan walks through the street when he hears a little girl begging her father to wake up, as she doesn't understand what is happening to her father. She asks Jordan what's going on, and he assures the girl her father will be alright. She asks what's wrong with her dad, and Jordan responds he and everyone else will think differently once it's over, they will think good things and be better people. The girl retorts her father is already a good person, but Jordan simply chuckles and utters she will see and leaves.

The ISA runs into complications when the Justice Society of America breaks into the underground tunnels and manages to break the adults in the tunnel free of Brainwave's telepathic hold. Gambler relays the message to Jordan that the kids are here and causing trouble in the tunnels. Jordan is aware of their presence and is angered by their persistence in stopping his plans. He turns and begins to walk to the exit as he tugs at his tie, pulling it loose, as he angrily tells Gambler that it's time to stop those kids once and for all.

Jordan rallies the rest of the ISA and they confront the Justice Society in Dragon King's lair, the teams facing off across the room. Stargirl smirks commenting on Jordan's lack of his Icicle make, but he stoically responds that he has nothing to hide anymore, referring to her as Courtney. Sportsmaster comments on this being Deja-vu, which annoys the JSA who exchange a look as they prepare to charge. Jordan leads the ISA in a calm walk forward that leads to a run as the team's attack one another.

Jordan shoots ice blasts from his hands as he fights Stargirl who expertly dodges his attacks. She attempts to hit him with her staff but he dodges. Stargirl performs a backflip as Icicle continues to shoot ice blasts at her, which she flips over and around. He produces an ice shield before being thrown off and chased after by the heroine and S.T.R.I.P.E. Icicle grabs the Staff and an ensuing blast sends Courtney across the room as S.T.R.I.P.E. punches the floor next to Icicle. Stargirl notices Hourman and Wildcat struggling in their fights. Determined, she pounces on Tigress and swings at her with the Staff, throwing her over to Wildcat. In a flip, Courtney kicks her leg at Sportsmaster's neck and knocks the villain unconscious, thus, saving her teammates. Icicle notices and begins to form an ice attack until Hourman punches him into a pillar. Wildcat checks to see Tigress is unconscious, and then ambushes Icicle, striking him across the face and throwing him into the center of the room. Stargirl swipes the Staff up Icicle's chin, sending him flying through the air. He painfully lands on the marbled steps, breathless. The rest of his comrades defeated, Jordan looks up at the JSA as they form a line in front of him. S.T.R.I.P.E. raises his fist but is suddenly punched across the room. Everyone looks over, surprised to see Solomon Grundy, who roars at the JSA.

Jordan watches the fights that ensue between STRIPE and Grundy and Stargirl and Shiv, while Wildcat breaks into the machine room. He is breathless and struggling to recover from the onslaught he experienced. Gambler contacts him over the coms warning him that Brainwave's abandoned the machine but Jordan needs to get to Dr. Mid-Nite and stop her from using her goggles before she breaks into the whole system. Jordan hesitates as he glances over at Stargirl and Shiv who are battling at the machine entrance. Gambler presses that it won't matter what happens in the tunnels if Dr. Mid-Nite succeeds. Jordan groans and shoves his hair back, letting out a muffled "yeah" as he stands and hurries out of the tunnels.

The satellite machine the ISA used is destroyed by Stargirl, freeing Barbara and the rest of Blue Valley and beyond from Brainwave's grasp. Beth and Barbara are celebrating when Jordan bursts through the door of Barbara's office, a wild look in his eye. Barbara panicky tells Courtney that Jordan is here. Jordan glares at Beth and tells her that he's had enough of her goggles, and uses his ice powers to freeze them. Beth grabs at them as the ice causes her physical pain. She is forced to rip the goggles off her face and watch in horror as the goggles shatter along with Chuck. Beth begins to approach Jordan, who blasts her backward with a burst of air that slams her into the wall. Barbara hurries to Beth's side to see if the girl is okay, but Jordan has no patience and stalks to Barbara's side. He grabs her arm and drags her out of the office against her will.

Jordan drags Barbara to the top of The American Dream building where he pushes her to the edge and holds the back of her neck, forcing her to look over Blue Valley. He angrily tells her to look at everything he's done for the city, the beauty that he's brought to the town. He dares her to remember what the town was like before he came. He elaborates that the town was dying but they brought it back better than it ever was before. That's why he's doing everything to help people, he just wants to help people. Barbara looks over at Jordan who loosens her grasp. She tells him to tell that to Joey Zarick and his parents. To Henry King. Jordan grips Barbara's arms wildly telling her that half a million people die from cancer every year, but if he kills half a million people right now he can cure cancer forever. She calmly responds that no one was going to die because of the way people think, causing him to passionately inform her that his wife died because of the way people think. Because of greed and politics, everything that he can fix now. It isn't too late, he can still save America - not today, but he can do it. He takes her face in his hand saying that he wants Barbara to help and Courtney too. He tries to convince her to come with him and go away somewhere, but that kind look turns ice cold when Barbara tells him he's crazy. She stoically tells him that his wife would be ashamed of the person he's become. Jordan is overcome with rage as he grabs Barbara roughly, telling her she didn't know Christine. He pulls Barbara to his chest and kisses the top of her head as she cries. He assures her that he will succeed and will kill her daughter and husband for what they've done. He wants her to think about that on the way over the edge. He is about to throw her over when Pat intervenes.

Jordan asks Pat how he plans to protect Barbara without STRIPE or any powers. Pat smirks and responds "with our daughter". Stargirl swoops in from the side and kicks Jordan in the back, knocking him to the floor. Jordan lands hard but manages to turn the landing into a roll. He turns to face her and begins to change into his Icicle form. They charge at each other and collide int he middle in a slew of sparks and energy. Icicle struggles to freeze the cosmic staff while Stargirl pushes against his resistance. He eerily states that he won't let her stop him as she twists her body trying to free herself from his grasp. He uses this as an advantage to pin the staff around her neck. She angrily tells him that he will never save America, he's filled with too much hate. The staff emits a burst of energy that flings Icicle in one direction and Stargirl in the other. Wildcat saves Stargirl from falling to her death, but Icicle slams into the ground with the full force of the blast pushing him. Ice shards surround his point of impact. A few seconds pass before Icicle rises to his knees, summoning a large ice blast with a scream. Only half his face is covered in ice, when suddenly, he is slammed into by an SUV driven by Mike Dugan. All that remains of Jordan Mahkent are thousands of little ice shards and a mess for the JSA to sort through.

### Season 2

Eclipso uses his powers to make Barbara think her car has stalled. Ice then forms around and Jordan appears behind Barbara, and taunts her claiming she has feelings for him as well and wanted the same things he did. Barbara tries to deny that Jordan is there saying he is dead. Jordan tells Barbara he will haunt her and her family forever. Suddenly, dark wisps appear in the seat beside Barbara, and The Shade spoke to Barbara and told her to start her car. Barbara says she has tried as Jordan continues to taunt her. The Shade snaps that there is nothing wrong with her car and orders her to start it. Barbara successfully starts her car and looks back to see that Jordan is gone.

### Season 3

Jordan survives being shattered into shards, coming back from the dead and choosing to hide in the tunnels beneath Blue Valley. He studies the JSA and watches them, planting cameras around town, their school, and their homes. Steve Sharpe returns to Blue Valley looking for a second chance at life, setting up a home in Cornhusker Estate Trailer Park. An alert module appears on his computer as an unidentified feed is discovered. He finds nine camera feeds - the BVHS cafeteria, Chapel Residence, Whitmore-Dugan House, Barbara's office at The American Dream, the meeting room of The American Dream, Main Street, exterior of Richie Rock's Diner, exterior of The Pit Stop, and the Sharpe trailer. He goes outside to dislodge the camera when a loud sound breaks out, the feed cuts off, and Gambler is brutally murdered with his trailer left in shambles.

The next day, Ultra-Humanite, disguised in the body of Sylvester Pemberton, investigates the wreckage. In an underground lair, TV monitors cover the walls with several different feeds of locations around Blue Valley, including the Sharpe trailer. Across from the wall, a black gloved hand clenches. Moments later, a powerful creature attacks the Ultra-Humanite, leaving him on the brink of death. The Voyeur continues to watch the JSA, installing a camera in the hospital room so he can eavesdrop on his conversations with Pat, Courtney, Dr. Chapel, and Dr. McNider. As the days pass, another feed records Rick breaking into The Pit Stop and using the weights to test his strength. Jordan presses a button that turns off the feeds, then works on his puzzle, later activating the feeds to watch his old home. Beth discovers the hidden cameras and rushes to the Whitmore-Dugan home, overdoing her attempts to "act normal". She turns on the juicer which disrupts the audio feed to the cameras. Jordan growls and breathes as he watches the feeds, including the trio looking conspicuously around the room. The puzzle on the desk is nearly complete; half is of a man's face while the rest is a skull.

That night, the JSA shuts down the power grid which shuts down all of the cameras the Voyeur has set up. He angrily slams his fist into the completed puzzle. The JSA proceeds to dismantle all the cameras, using Beth's goggles to identify them. After a few hours, the lights whirl on and the BVHS feed clicks back online. Dr. Mid-Nite remarks that isn't good. Hourman turns to the camera and speaks to the person on the other end, warning that, "whoever you are, we're coming for you". He angrily punches the camera. In Blue Valley, beneath the sewer grate and inside the tunnels, the voyeur stares at the TV screen. It's frozen on Hourman about to punch the camera. The voyeur, donning a black cloak, angrily punches the television screen with his gloved hand.
One day, Beth's goggles ring while she, Rick, and Yolanda are walking down main street. She puts on the goggles and Rick asks what's going on. She's been trying to lock into the signal from the camera, but it's been bouncing all around the country, sending Sylvester everywhere. This could just be another false lead. She nervously admits it's coming from inside the Mahkent house. The signal spurs the trio to break into the Mahkent house, sets Rick into a frenzy as he attacks Cameron, and leads to Lily revealing that Courtney and her friends killed Jordan.
Courtney meets with Cameron the next morning, trying to smooth things over. They talk about his father; she knows how much his father meant to him, and she didn't want to change that. He questions her statement, and she steps closer, admitting that Jordan did bad things. He killed people to get what he wanted and was about to kill more, so, so many more. Cameron begs to know who killed his father, so Courtney lies that it was her. He breaks up with her and remarks that he never wants to see her again.
That night, the Crocks walk home from the Mahkents residence where they broker peace. They find a trail of Ripped City gym fliers that leads them down a maintenance hole cover. They crouch down by the opening as Paula looks to her husband. Someone wants their attention. Crusher nods and if they're looking for trouble, they're gonna be sorry they got it. The Crocks climb down into the sewer, finding a trail of Ripped City fliers leading down the hall. They follow and see a room with flickering lights. They exchange a look and investigate.

When they enter, they find a room full of television monitors - they voyeurs lair. They wonder what it could be, with Crusher wondering what the hell is going on. He turns around and before he can make a move, a hooded figure imaples him. He groans and ice spreads across his torso. He falls to the ground. Paula shouts out no, rushing to the figure, who grabs her by the throat, choking her. Crusher watches the scene as his body slowly covers in ice. The figure raises Paula a few feet in the air. They pull their mask off, revealing themself to be Jordan Mahkent. Jordan takes a large breath of air as Paula stares in shock. He begins freezing her body, gently lowering her onto the ground next to Crusher. With their final dying breaths, Crusher holds out his hand and Paula takes it. He whispers slowly that he loves her. She loves him too, a tear falling from her eye as the ice encases them completely. Jordan stands over them and holds out his hand, giving a final gesture that shatters their bodies. He looks down at their remains and leaves the room.
In a flashback to one year ago, after the fight against the JSA, Icicle's cubes begin to melt, with cars and people stepping on the remains, oblivious to the true nature of the cubes. Once the cubes melt completely, the water retracts and forms a shape. It then flows down the road, slipping into a sewer grate.
Back in the present day, Jordan stands in his lair. He removes his glove and stares at his hand, which is still in ice form. It hasn't completely healed, leaving points where some of his fingers should be. He groans in pain as he focuses, forcing the hand to regenerate into a human form. He closes his healed hand, panting in pain. On the ground beneath him, Sportsmasters mask lays broken in half.
Jordan stands outside the Mahkent house, looking at it. He has a sharp pain in his chest and clutches his torso. He breathes through the pain then approaches the home. He slowly walks up the front steps and rings the doorbell. He turns around until Lily opens the door. He greets his mother and she emotionally remarks that it's her son, her boy. She doesn't understand, holding his face then hugging him. Sofus emerges as Jordan tells Lily it will all be okay now. Sofus proclaims that it's by the gods, embracing Jordan. Cameron stands in the doorway, tearfully questioning his father. Jordan merely replies that he's home.
The Mahkents convene in the living room. Jordan looks at the snowglobes, holding one in his hand. Cameron's mother used to love how simple, and yet beautiful, the worlds inside of them are. Collecting them after she died was his way of honoring her. He looks over the shelves musing that one is missing. Cameron bluntly asks where his dad has been. Jordan admits that when he was hit, he not only lost his form, but all self-awareness. He had no consciousness, just dreams. Dreams of Cameron, of Christine, of their family. It took everything he had to reform. Cameron wonders why he didn't heal here, and why he let them think he was dead. Jordan was just trying to protect him, a statement Cameron questions. Jordan takes a seat on the couch next to Lily, assuming that his grandparents explained everything to him. Their family was hunted for generations. To bring him into that history would've put him in danger. He starts to explain what would happen once he knew, but a sharp pain interrupts him. The family looks at him with concern. When the pain passes, Jordan admits that he knows how hard it is to keep their secret from those he holds close. He told Courtney and then this happened.

Cameron, fighting back tears, reveals that Courtney told him that she was the one who killed Jordan. Lily proudly admits she failed. Jordan quickly corrects them, as it wasn't Courtney who did it, but her brother. This surprises Cameron who questions if it was Mike, and why she would tell him that it was her. Jordan assumes it was to protect Mike. But that's all in the past now. He's forgiven Mike and all of them, because they believe what they were doing was right. After what happened, his powers are somehow even stronger. He flexes his hand as Sofus nervously looks at Jordan. Cameron confronts him over Courtney telling him that he's killed people. Jordan looks up at his son - his goal was only ever to help people. He insists Cameron knows that because he knows him. Cameron thought he did. Jordan stands from the couch to hold his son's face. Almost losing his life, almost losing Cameron, and listening to Courtney Whitmore, it made him look at his past actions in a different light. Courtney's group and him want the same thing. They could just not never agree on how they should achieve it. But he thinks maybe now they can. Sofus, in Norwegian, asks if he wants peace. Jordan does want peace. He embraces Cameron who begins to cry.
Barbara walks into The American Dream where she lowers her phone, emotions filling her face as she learns about the Crocks death. An employee eagerly comes up to Barbara and happily tells her she won't believe it, but he's back. She leads her around the corner where Jordan turns around to face Barbara, greeting her as she stares in surprise.
Barbara walks into her office, with Jordan following her. She can barely make out his words from her state of shock. She saw him die, which he knows. She asks how he's back. He wasn't sure himself at first, but it seems his abilities extend beyond just creating ice. He can somehow become it. She asks what he wants. He wants his life back. His death can be explained away easily enough as misinformation after a tragic accident. She knows no one will believe it, but they already have. They want to believe it, because the people of Blue Valley love him. He's lost a year of his life. A year away from his son, his parents, his work. He knows he can't get that time back, but he can put the past behind him, start over, and rebuild. He asks her to trust him, as he's a changed man. She's seen who he is - pure evil who will never change. He argues that he has, and asks who she thinks they have to thank for that. It's ironic, maybe, or fitting. Her daughter, Courtney, showed him it was possible. She believes in people in a way that he never did. Barbara knows he never will, but he insists that he wants to. He wants to wipe the slate clean. To show he means business, he's willing to help the JSA take down the Ultra-Humanite. She asks how he knows about that, and he pauses before admitting he's been watching Blue Valley for some time. That creature followed Sylvester Pemberton here. The Ultra-Humanite hated the ISA just as much as the JSA, because they refused to accept him into their organization. Barbara realizes that the Ultra-Humanite didn't freeze Crusher and Paula, it was Jordan. The man barely takes a second to respond. He didn't want to, he didn't set out to. They came in, and it happened so fast. It was terrible, but it can end there, all of it. He tells her to let him know when she's ready to accept his help against the Ultra-Humanite. He starts to leave then looks back at her, pausing at the doorway. It really is good to see her. He leaves the office as she stares after him, unnerved.

After an emotional conversation with Cameron, Courtney walks down Main Street, which is quiet. She stops at Jordan's mural and sees Jordan gazing up at it. He muses that Cameron's a talented son, his boy. He takes after his mother. He looks over and greets Courtney. She maintains her distance but walks a bit closer. Whatever he's doing, whatever he's planning, they're going to stop him. Jordan knows that she and Cameron have been seeing each other. She scoffs as of course he does, he's been spying on them. His son is all that matters to him. If she's important to him, then she's important to Jordan. He doesn't want to be enemies, he wants to be allies. He approaches her so she moves around him, ultimately switching places. He really does think they could be a great team, the two of them. He'll be honest, revenge was the first thing that overtook him when he first regained sentience. But he sees now that vengeance has no purpose. It's misguided, primitive, even. She helped him see that, because the more he watched her, the more he saw who she truly is. She's changed countless hearts and minds. The Shade, Cindy Burman, the Crocks. She interjects that she did, right before he killed them. He admits he did, which was regrettable, and she cuts him off before he can justify his actions. He murdered the Zarick family. He tried to brainwash half the country and didn't care that it would kill millions. He murdered the JSA no one can just ignore that. He's not asking her to forget. He's just hoping she'll forgive so they can work together, all of them. Then she and Cameron can start again. She looks down so he thanks her for hearing him out. He walks away and she looks up at his mural.
Jordan returns home and looks at the snowglobes he's collected. After a minute, he walks out of the room. He goes to the woods around Blue Valley, emerging from the treeline into a clearing. He looks around the area. The ground shakes and trees break as heavy footsteps approach. With a growl, Shiro Ito, in Ultra-Humanite's gorilla body, stomps into the clearing, rumbling slowly at Jordan. They stand a few feet from one another. Jordan remarks that it's time.
Cameron paces in his room holding his phone. He sets it down on the end table and paces more. He picks it back up, about to check it when Jordan walks in. Cameron sits on the bed - Courtney still hasn't called or texted him back. Jordan knows that whatever's going on, she cares about him, advising him to give her some time. Cameron's doesn't think anything they say is going to change her mind. Somehow, they have to prove his intentions are good. Jordan brings up the teacher who has gone missing, Mr. Deisinger. He may have fallen prey to the Ultra-Humanite, which shocks Cameron, who becomes emotional. The police thought he might have had another psychotic break to wandered off. He asks his dad if he thinks Deisinger could be dead, and Jordan solemnly nods. He has an idea to go after the Ultra-Humanite and bring him in himself. He asks if that might be enough.
Meanwhile, "Sylvester" plans to take down Jordan himself by usurping the Cosmic Staff from Courtney. Pat intercepts "Sylvester" and convinces him they have to do this together. Stripesy opens the door to the Mahkent living room. Behind him, Starman stands, scars showing from just beyond his hairline. He strikes Stripesy over the head with the staff, knocking him out. He stands by the body as Jordan emerges from the side. He asks what they do now. Ultra-Humanite smirks that he'll take care of him. He smiles as this will be fun.

Nine months ago, Sylvester Pemberton's grave is disturbed by the Voyeur and Dragon King. Jordan gives Dragon King the shovel, demanding that he did. They take Sylvester's body to the underground tunnels, in one of Dragon King's lairs. Dragon King injects Sylvester with a serum that wakes him from his stasis. He gasps back to life and the Voyeur pulls off his mask. Sylvester sees Icicle, who greets Starman again. Sylvester asks what he's doing. Jordan leans close to Sylvester, calling him a friend. He's been in the ground for a long time, but he is needed again. Because a hero like him is someone who is already trusted, respected, and beloved by the public. Americans will listen to him in a way like nobody else. If he gives them suggestions, or orders, even, they will do whatever he says. He imagines they'll even vote for President Pemberton. Dragon King thinks it has a nice ring to it. Leaning even closer, Jordan wants Sylvester to be his mouthpiece. Sylvester nods that it's a great plan, but there's one problem because he'll never work for him. Jordan taps his victim's forehead, knowing how strong-minded he is. That's why they're going to remove it. From the table next to Sylvester, the Ultra-Humanite growls and grumbles. Dragon King clarifies that the Ultra-Humanite will get Sylvester's body, and then Dragon King will get Ultra-Humanite's, in his continuing quest to become something greater. Dragon King turns on the saw as Sylvester begs them to please wait. He asks what they did to Stripesy and where Pat is. Dragon King ignores him as he cuts into Sylvester's head, causing the man to scream in agony.
In the present day, Cameron and his grandparents walk to the upstairs hallway of their home. Jordan asks how the vigil went, learning there's still no sign of Mr. Deisinger. He does have good news for Cameron, as Starman has agreed to let go of their past differences, which Cameron remarks is great. It is, but Jordan's afraid that Courtney and her friends aren't quite so willing yet. The boy wants to convince them, and Jordan leads him a few paces away from Sofus and Lily. He tells Cameron that something has happened to Courtney's stepfather. He's been killed by that aberration of science, the Ultra-Humanite. Sofus tells Jordan in Norwegian to stop lying to the boy, earning a look of surprise from his son and confusion from his grandson. Still in Norwegian, Lily tells Sofus to shut up, calling him an old fool. Their enemies die tonight. Jordan reminds his mother that that's only if they refuse. He wants to try to give his son what he wants. He leads Cameron to his room.
Jordan convinces Cameron to call Courtney and tell her that Starman is at the junkyard. He asks if she's looking for him and she questions how he knows that. He apologizes as his family is coming so he has to go. She tells him to wait, but he hangs up. Cameron turns to face his dad. He doesn't like lying to Courtney. Jordan assures Cameron this is the best way to offer Courtney their help in this trying time - face-to-face.

The JSA walks the grounds of Zeek's Junkyard and stop when they see Icicle, "Starman" who wields the staff, and Sofus, Lily, and Cameron waiting for them. Icicle greets Courtney, though Cameron barely meets her gaze. Icicle stands alongside his family and "Starman" tonight, here on neutral round, with only good intentions. Stargirl asks where Pat is. "Starman" is sorry, but she's gone. Pat came to see him after Jordan and he settled things. He apologized and tried to convince Pat to join forces with both of them, but he refused. He went into the woods alone, looking for the Ultra-Humanite, who killed him. This lands hard with Courtney. As she processes, Icicle tells her that if they're going to get any justice for Pat, they need to team up. She doesn't believe anything he says. "Starman" knows he was harsh earlier, but Stargirl cuts him off. They're both lying, and Sylvester has been lying since he came to Blue Valley.

Cameron chimes in for the first time, as he wouldn't lie to her. He's sorry about Pat, he's so sorry, but the only thing they can do now is work together and stop that monster before it hurts anyone else. Stargirl struggles for a moment until a whooshing sound gets everyone's attention. From the sky, S.T.R.I.P.E. appears, landing behind the JSA as his boosters burn into the ground. The motor revs and Stargirl questions if it's Pat. It is him, but that's not Sylvester, it's the Ultra-Humanite. The team turns back to their enemies. Ultra-Humanite rhetorically shouts out if Pat's kidding him, and angrily questions why Stripesy won't die. He shoves past Icicle and blasts S.T.R.I.P.E. with the staff, sending the robot tumbling away. He takes to the air after S.T.R.I.P.E. Lily steps forward as now, the wicked children will freeze. She summons ice to her palms and the JSA assumes their fighting positions.
Stargirl dodges ice blasts, landing on the roof of a car, just as the explosion from S.T.R.I.P.E. appears behind her. She stands and looks at Cameron, saying that Jordan lied to him. Jordan cuts her off telling her not to say another word. He holds out his hand and she gasps for air as her breath turns to ice. She clutches her throat and falls off the car, rolling onto the ground. Cameron shouts out for Courtney, rushing to her aide. Hourman charges forward and punches Icicle into a car. Courtney gasps for air as Icicle's hold on her fades. Hourman turns to Cameron, telling him not to be a tool. He's being played by his own dad, but he's still going to kick his ass. Cameron gets up and Hourman starts to advance when he suffers a disorientation spell from the hourglass. He tries to throw a punch anyway but misses. Cameron blasts him backward, with Icicle adding a secondary blast that propels him even further away.
Stargirl hurries to Hourman's side, checking on him. Icicle gives Courtney one last chance to pledge her loyalty right now. He holds out his hand, ice appearing. He's suddenly shot in the shoulder with an arrow. Everyone looks in shock to see Barbara a few feet away, lowering Paula's crossbow. She warns him to stay away from her daughter. Stargirl questions her mom and Icicle pulls the arrow out. Barbara and Stargirl help Hourman to his feet, taking him away. Icicle calls it such a shame. She was going to be so perfect for all of them. Courtney and Cameron would have been together. He knows that he and Barbara could have reignited what they had. Cameron's face falls from behind his father, growing darker. Barbara, dumbfounded, shouts they never had anything. He tells her goodbye and summons ice, ready to shoot it at the trio. Cameron shouts out a no as he tackles his father, sending a blast of ice across the lot.

The JSA retreats while Stargirl and Barbara help Hourman to cover. Icicle tells Cameron not to do this, sending bursts of ice at his son, who dodges them with parkour while returning his own ice blasts at his father .Cameron fights his father and knocks him back a few paces by performing a front flip and kicking him. Jordan painfully tells Cameron not to force him to do what Brainwave did to his son. He holds out one iced hand, begging Cameron, who looks at him in surprise. Their attention is pulled to the sky where Stargirl barrels toward the ground with the Cosmic Staff, glowing in cosmic energy. She slams down in front of Cameron, performing the shooting star. The blast sends Jordan flying away from them. The fact that he went there says everything. She charges at him with the staff, now assisting Cameron in fighting Icicle.

Stargirl fights Icicle, performing flips and blocks with the staff. She swings it at him as he goes to hit her, ultimately sending a blast of cosmic energy that seers across his face, then burns into the ground. Icicle looks up with a scream as his face sizzles from the cauterized wound. This surprises Stargirl, who stands up from her fighting position. He sends ice at her, which she blocks with the staff. However, the force knocks her backward. She flips over Cameron who grabs the staff to stabilize her. With his free hand, he sends a gust of power at Icicle, striking him in the chest. Icicle recovers quickly, reasoning that he only wanted what was best for Cameron. The boy tearfully tells his father to give up, then. Icicle pulls his hands back as his power appears. He tells Cameron to do what he has to, or he will. Cameron pauses for a moment, then pulls his power forward and slams it into the ground, screaming as he sends a shockwave toward his dad. The power collides with Icicles' to form a cloud of snow, mist, hail, and ice. Icicle's face emerges from the cloud, screaming until it dissipates. Barbara, Hourman, Dr. Mid-Nite, Wildcat, and Sofus look in surprise at what Cameron just did as the mist subsides. Stargirl asks where he went.

Three months later in Copenhagen, Denmark, Jordan walks down the street when he hears a woman whisper his name, Icicle. She lures him into an alley where he steps on a sticky substance that adheres him to the ground. He looks up to see Artemis Crock standing above him. That goop he's standing on, that's petroleum jelly laced with rubidium, potassium, and azidoazide azide. Her dad put in his hockey pucks. It's highly flammable. She lights a flare, musing that it even burns on water. This is for her parents. She throws the flare onto the substance. He watches in horror as the substance erupts in flames, creeping closer. He screams as his body tries to turn into ice to survive, but the heat is too intense and consuming. His body engulfs in flames as Artemis watches, tears in her eyes. She removes her mask to watch him fall to the ground. He's not coming back this time. She vanishes a few moments later, leaving Jordan's body to burn.

## Personality

In Jordan's civilian identity, those around him would describe him as an ambitious, honorable man dedicated to his aim at a better community for the next generation, and one who doesn't shoot down voices with ideas and opportunities he finds worthwhile.

But behind this façade, Jordan is quite literally a cold-hearted, meticulous man with a set goal. Before the fall of the Justice Society of America, Jordan was allegedly a one-dimensional villain who clearly had little empathy for humanity through his nefarious actions. However, even though Jordan was a killer with little regard for human life, he started to change when he fell in love with his wife Christine and the birth of his son changed him even more. Jordan loved his family more than anything in the world, but the death of his wife eight years ago changed him deeply into a more emotionally-complex person, with his developed morals and values twisted. Dedicated to fulfilling her dying wish for a "better, safer" America for their son, he believes he has righteous permission to take out anyone who interferes if it's for the better, as his wife instructed. He has since used his wife’s passing to give him the motivation required to get the job done. He will not hesitate to do whatever he has to in order to achieve his objective. Even if it means killing his own son.

In spite of Jordan's cold-hearted nature, even Icicle was left stunned at the Dragon King's request to be given the Wizard's body, implying that there are some levels of depravity even he won't stoop to. However, he allowed Dragon King to take the body, clearly not too upset by the request. Jordan is often the one who picks up the messy pieces that the ISA leave and kept the peace between the members. Jordan also deeply cares for his son more than Brainwave did for his son. Because even though Jordan was willing to kill Cameron if he got in his way, he repeatedly begged Cameron to back down, and even gave him a chance to strike first, whereas Brainwave killed Henry before he could fight back.

## Physical Appearance

Jordan is a handsome well groomed professional-looking man with wavy blonde hair that is styled away from his face and hazel eyes. He has sharp features and high cheekbones that accentuate his hollow features and face. He wears expensive suits with blue tones and a black trench coat. Due to his handsomeness and superior professionalism, Jordan was able to catch the attention of his wife Christine despite so many other men pursuing her.

When fronting as supervillain Icicle, Jordan changes his attire completely. Jordan freezes his skin into a blue tinge, wears a long gray trench coat, with button holes all over the opening, a white long sleeve shirt, gray pants, and wears a golden key around his neck.

## Powers

As a member of the Mahkent family, Jordan possesses incredible ice bending powers that were gifted to him through his family’s connection to Norse mythological beings. Jordan's abilities were inherited from his parents Lily and Sofus. He is a very strong cryokinetic having spent decades training his powers. His powers evolved from generating ice to somehow becoming it. Jordan was already one of the most dangerous members of the Injustice Society, but his enhanced powers make even more lethal as his abilities grant him the unique ability to come back from the dead.

* **Cryokinesis:** The ability to manipulate, harness, and create ice-based substances. Jordan can also create forms of snow, slush, hail, icicles, and ice spikes through the use of his hands. He has a very powerful form of this power, able to use it from both a distance and by touching something. He once used this power to freeze a star-shape in the middle of the park as a warning to Stargirl. It was also used to freeze a bridge, field, and water - all to his advantage. This power also allows him to access another known as snow manipulation, which has only used once. It is also possible for him to freeze objects seemingly without needing to touch them as when he was interrogating Riley. He was able to freeze a door handle from across the room without needing to touch it or even use his Ice Breath. Upon his return, Jordan’s powers were even stronger.
	+ **Aerokinesis:** Jordan has the ability to manipulate freezing cold air and use it against his opponents. He was able to freeze Sportsmaster and Tigress from the inside out and cause them to explode from the pressure, as well as freeze Courtney’s breath and make her stop breathing just by raising his hand.
	+ **Ice Attack/Ice Blasts:** He can create shards of ice and manipulate them to attack others. These will occasionally appear in blanket ice attacks that freeze its target. He was able to freeze S.T.R.I.P.E. to the point of immobility, and freeze the Cosmic Staff so it couldn't be used. The freezing effect isn't permanent and does wear off in a few minutes or seconds depending on the strength.
	+ **Ice Breath:** The ability to emit cold or ice from within through the mouth. Jordan's breath is usually so cold that it can be seen at almost all times, but especially when he's not paying attention to it. He can conceal it in public meetings like at The American Dream, but it is visible when he sleeps. He used a variation of this power to blow a playing card off of Joey Zarick's hand. It is with this power that he turned Reilly into an ice statue that shattered when the corpse landed on the ground.
	+ **Ice Shield:** Jordan could also use his powers in a defensive way, such as creating a wall of ice to block attacks.

* **Cryophysiology:** The power to transform his physical body into a light blue block of ice. In Jordan's case, the ice forms a protective layer around his body so his physical form remains intact. The protective ice layer can be cracked or fractured without causing direct harm to Jordan. Due to his Cryophysiology, Jordan's core body temperature is lower than that of an average human. When he speaks, his breath is visible due to his lowered temperature. It is implied that he is incapable of sensing warm temperatures, even in his default human likeness, as seen when he touched a scalding plate without flinching. This is also proven true, due to Jordan being out on the hot sun for long periods of time in his ice form and not melting as a result, indicating his body temperature is so cold, he can't melt. When in his Icicle form, Jordan is at full strength and can use the maximum capacity of his powers. He also has another ice form that allows him to transform into a living ice fog, and he can use this form to fly. This form however is only temporary as it quickly vacated when his son Cameron destroyed his physical body and temporarily killed Jordan.
* **Enhanced Agility:** During the final fight between the JSA and the ISA, Jordan was just as maneuverable and light on his feet is Courtney was.
* **Enhanced Durability:** Even when not in his ice form, Jordan is still remarkably resistant to damage. He got blasted by the Cosmic Staff in his human form and was able to get up in a couple of seconds. He also took a severe beating from Stargirl, Hourman and Wildcat and while he was bruised and battered, he kept on fighting.
* **Enhanced Strength:** Jordan is remarkably strong as lifted Paula Brooks a few feet into the air without struggle.
* **Self-Reformation:** Despite Jordan’s body being made of ice, his liquid form still retains some sense of sentience, in that it saved his life by retreating into the sewers until it could reform as a solid. The solid ice then slowly transformed back into a human body, though with much pain and time.
* **Thermokinesis:** When Jordan enters an area or focuses on a specific area, he can significantly lower the temperature just by being present.

## Abilities

* **Bilingualism:** Icicle is fluent in English and Norwegian.
* **Expert Combatant:** While unknown to what degree, Jordan is a fairly skilled fighter especially whilst using his powers to aid him. While not quite as effective in combat as Sportsmaster or Tigress, Jordan held his own against Stargirl in a one-on-one match. However, he was overpowered relatively easily by the combined efforts of Stargirl, Hourman and Wildcat. He was also able to fight on par with Starman for many years. After his resurrection, Jordan became an even better fighter, as he swiftly overthrew Stargirl in their brief match, and she needed the help of Jordan’s son Cameron to overpower him.

## Weaknesses

* **The Cosmic Staff** - The Cosmic Staff is one of the only known things that can harm Jordan when he is in his Icicle form. Despite this, Jordan was able to temporarily disable the staff by freezing it. After Jordan came back to life and his powers became enhanced, he doesn’t appear to fear the Cosmic Staff anymore as he didn’t transform into his ice form to protect himself from the staff.
* **Ice body:** Despite Jordan being powerful in his cryogenic form, his body is still made of ice, and can be destroyed by strong hits, which in turn led to his demise at the hands of Mike Dugan. The shattered version of his icicle form left him, for all intents and purposes, dead when Mike struck him. He lost all means of sentience, memories, and awareness. It was only though his cryokinetic abilities and a special suit that he reformed into a human body. The healing process was long, painful, and challenging for Jordan. Once his sentience returned, he only had dreams of his son and family. The full limitations of Icicle's healing process is unknown, but assumed to be limited.
* **Powers:** As revealed by Thunderbolt, Jordan’s powers are currently the only thing keeping him alive. So if he were to lose or become disconnected from his powers, he would die. His powers are also considerably weaker than Cameron’s which puts Jordan at a disadvantage and as such, he was easily overpowered and killed by him.
* **Fire:** As Jordan’s powers are based on ice, his primary vulnerability is anything of the opposite nature, specifically fire. Artemis Crock burned him alive using a substance made from petroleum jelly laced with rubidium, potassium, and azidoazide azide. The fire also caused his water form to evaporate, thus preventing him from coming back to life.

## Equipment

* **Icicle Suit -** This suit is a different version of attire that Jordan changes into when fronting as the supervillain, Icicle.

* **Voyeur Suit -** While fronting as a the voyeur who is watching Courtney Whitmore and Blue Valley, Jordan wears a long black cloak, black pants, and black leather gloves. He also wears a greying blue mask that appears as a distorted face. The eyes are blacked out and the texture of the mask is veinged. According to Cameron, the suit helped him heal from his wounds and properly regenerate his human form. After completely healing, Jordan removed the suit.
