Samuel Jackson

"*Even if you're right, even if there are... aliens and superheroes, why does it have to be me? [...] I'm adopted. I was always moving around because of my dad's job. Most of the time I was the only Black girl in my town or in my school. My whole life has been about being different and now I'm supposed to... accept the fact that I'm literally an alien from outer space. I just want to be normal.*"
—Naomi to Annabelle[src]
**Samuel *Sam* Jackson** is the main protagonist on The CW's superhero drama *Mighty-man*. He is portrayed by T.J.Williams.

## Biography

### Early life

Sam came to Earth during the meteor shower which struck the community of Brookcity, New-york, on October 16, 2004. He was sent from Mount Olympus as an infant, but because of the distance from Earth, Sam appeared to be between the ages of two and three when his ship crash-landed. Jefferson and Marie Jackson found him in Miller's Field: unable to have children themselves, the Jacksons adopted the young orphan and raised him as their son.

### Hitting by Alex Luthor

A truck passes him and some sharp debris falls from it, coming the other way is Lex who is speeding along when his cell phone rings. Distracted, he doesn't notice the object which fell from the tuck lying in the road ahead. His tires get shredded and he ends up losing control of his car. He sees Sam moments before the car hits him. Both go over the Loeb Bridge into Elbow River. The impact knocks Alex unconscious, but Sam swims towards him, rips the top off of his car, and pulls him out. He resuscitates Alex, who is sure he hit Sam, but Sam brushes him off. When Sam's father arrives at the scene, he is very unhappy with Alex and tells him to drive slower in the future.

### Not normal

The next day, after arriving home from school Clark notices a brand new truck in the driveway. Marie tells him it's as a gift from Alex for saving his life and Jefferson has the keys. However, Jefferson doesn't want Sam to keep it due to an animosity he has towards the Luthors. He tells Sam that they evicted their neighbors to buy land for LuthorCorp's factories that made the money that probably bought the truck. When Jonathan says that it's normal for Sam to be upset, Sam turns on the wood chipper and sticks his hand inside to demonstrate that he is not "normal", leaving Jefferson stunned.

### Sam learns the truth

This act forces Jefferson to explain to Sam his origins, at first Sam doesn't want to believe him until he shows him the spaceship, which they have hidden in their storm cellar. He tells Sam that he arrived in it during the meteor shower. Sam is angry and says he should've been told sooner.

### Sam becomes that year's "Scarecrow"

As Sam is leaving the school, Derreck picks him to be the next scarecrow. Sam tries to fight, back but Derreck is wearing Nelly's necklace. When Sam notices the necklace, Derreck puts it on Sam which renders him helpless. Derreck and his fellow football players throw him in the back of a pickup truck but Jeremy has witnessed the event and follows them. Sam is strung up in field on a cross with an "S" painted on his chest.

### Clark vs. Jeremy

At the dance, everyone is having fun dancing but unknown to everyone inside Jeremy is about to set off the sprinkler system to get them wet for electrocution. But Sam shows up and orders him to stop, he then tries to connect to Jeremy telling him he understands his pain. But Jeremy is in denial that he is in pain and points out that the homecoming hazing needs to stop and that punishing everyone inside is the only way. When Sam moves to block him, Jeremy tries to electrocute him only for Sam to be immune, Sam then grabs and throws Jeremy away from the sprinklers. Sam warns him to give up but Jeremy then uses his electric powers to start a maintenance truck up. Jeremy tries to run Sam down with the truck but Sam grabs onto it causing Jermey to crash into a water main. As the cab of the truck fills with water, he short-circuits himself. When Sam opens the door of the truck he notices Jermey has turned back to his true age of 25, his powers are gone and he has no memory of Sam. He asks Sam where he is and who Sam is. Sam introduces himself to Jermey and tells him he's in Brookcity. Jeremy says that he just wants to go home and Cs nods.

Sam goes into the gym and watches Nelly and Derreck dance after being crowned Homecoming King and Queen and leaves in frustration. When he sees Derreck's truck, he pauses and smiles. After the dance, the students are astonished to see three trucks belonging to the football players stacked one on top of the other making Derreck furious as Sam smiles and superspeeds away.

Back at his loft, Sam looks out into space through his telescope. Jefferson comes to the loft to talk to Sam telling him about how his father gave him the telescope when Jefferson was Sam's age. Sam is no longer angry and says he is glad the Jacksons are the ones that found him. Jefferson says it was Sam who found them.

### Sam flying

Sam is dreaming of flying. He flies into Nelly's house and floats over her bed; she wakes up and tells him, "It's all your fault." Sam wakes up in his own house , floating above his bed. The Jacksons drive up on the accident and Sam saves Derreck before his truck exploded and covered the two in flames.

### Greg vs Sam

At the tree-house, Sam finds Nelly in a cocoon. Sam and Greg battle from the tree house to the Creekside Foundry. The place is littered with meteor rocks, which weaken Sam until he realizes that lead shields him from its effects. Sam finds Greg and throws him across the room. Greg then is squashed when some heavy equipment falls on him. Back at the tree-house, Derreck rescues Nelly and they walk away with their arms around each other. That night, Sam leaves Nelly's necklace on her front doorknob.

### Sam joins the football team

Sam is not able to control himself on the field and leaps over the linemen and scores a touchdown. Although no one is hurt, Sam's father leaves the stadium, obviously disappointed.

### Fight the coach

Sam tries to escape the sauna by throwing the rocks through the small window. Jefferson finds him, breaks down the door, and drags him out of the sauna. He recovers just in time to do battle with the coach who becomes so enraged, he burns himself up.

### Discovering a new power

When Sam asks what's going on, Alex throws him through the large front window of Speck's Optical. As he recovers, Sam has a sudden headache, and then is able to see right through Alex's skin to his skeleton. Alex's bones have an odd green glow.In gym class, Sam is climbing rope against his buddy Jack Diamond, when he suddenly looks right through Jack's skin to his muscles. Sam is so shocked, he loses his grip and falls to the floor. As he recovers, he looks right through the wall to the girls' locker room and smiles as he sees Nelly Watson remove her towel. After school, he explains to his parents about his X-ray vision. His parents encourage him to practice so that he can learn to control it.

### Sam battles Tina as Derreck

Tina morphs back into herself and strangles Nelly, stealing her meteorite necklace. Nelly wakes up inside a crypt. When Sam arrives at the cemetery, he finds Tina-as-Derreck with the necklace in her hand, and she puts the necklace in her pocket while getting close to him. At first Tina has the upper hand, but when she takes off the jacket, Sam recovers. During their battle, Tina tells Sam that Nelly is dead. Sam scans the cemetery and sees one of the skeletons is moving. He breaks into the crypt and lifts Nelly from the tomb.

At the Beanery, Alex Luthor tells Nelly Watson (again) that he thinks she is with the wrong guy just as Derreck arrives and breaks a date. Alex runs into Sam outside the restaurant and tells him that Nelly is free tomorrow night. Alex gives him tickets and promises a limo ride if Sam gets in there and asks her in the next 60 seconds. This appears to be just the encouragement he needs, and he makes the date with Nelly Watson.

### Sam see the future

Cassandra tells Sam that she began having visions at the same time she lost her sight- the day of the meteor shower. When Sam takes Cassandra's hand they both see a vision of him kneeling in the rain surrounded by tombstones bearing the names of all the people he loves: his parents and his school friends. The tombstones seem to go on forever. Sam runs off, terrified. He tells his parents about the vision and they try to comfort him, but Sam has interpreted it to mean that he will outlive everyone that he loves and is destined to be alone.

It's closing time at the Beanery, but Harry doesn't want to leave. He offers to play the piano while Zoe cleans up the shop. Harry reveals that Zoe's grandmother Eve Garfield helped kill his future, and now he intends to kill Zoe's future. Harry tries to strangle Zoe just as Sam smashes in the door and saves her.

### Defeat Jodi

Jack wants to take her to the hospital, but Jodi runs back into the house. She asks Jack to leave her alone, but he follows her into the house. She attacks him, knocking his head against the floor and rendering him unconscious, but Sam arrives before she can do him any further harm. She flees through the back door and hides in the greenhouse.

### Trying to save Earl

At the hospital, Sam tells Katie that Earl worked at the Jackson farm twelve hours a day for six seasons until he took a job at the Luthor plant. When Deputy Millerarrives there's a ruckus in Earl's room. Earl is standing but shaking so badly that anyone who approaches is thrown across the room, even Sam. When the fit ends, Earl collapses to the floor.

### Save Alex and Earl

Sam tries to help but he becomes sick as he approaches. He pushes through his sickness and pulls Earl back up to the catwalk. He sends him to the elevator, and then pulls up Alex. As they head to the elevator, Earl starts to have another seizure. The two race along the catwalk before he can shake it free again. They all tumble into the elevator just as the catwalk crashes to the floor.

Sam is extremely strong, and as such he is often seen using his strength to help around Jackson's farm, driving fence posts into the ground, driving nails with his thumb, lifting tractors and other heavy machinery for his father Jefferson. Additionally, he uses this ability to stop rogue metahumans while throwing him miles away and saving people all around Brookcity, New-york. Apparently, he was aware of this power ever since the Jacksons found him in the field, and he sometimes smashed tables and walls with his fists as a child, until his parents instructed him never to use his powers so violently. He is incredibly strong, capable of exerting immense amounts of superhuman physical force and has vast levels of superhuman strength when he so desires, the full extent of which remains unknown.

Sam, can run or move extremely quickly, and was often seen using this ability to save people in very difficult situations. Sam runs to school from the Jacksons farm easily.
	+ **Accelerated Perception:** Sam's superspeed also extends to his perception; his brain is able to process information at such high speeds that time seems to have slowed down, allowing him to perceive what would normally move too fast to see and react accordingly.
	+ **Invulnerability:** Sam has skin that makes him virtually invulnerable to any form of physical harm. Nothing earthly can penetrate it, bullets, knives, arrows, cars, lasers, lightning, all types of weather like tornadoes etc. bounce or bend around it. Sam's skin is also much denser than that of a normal human. he is immune to bullets, flames, cold temperatures, and all earthly illnesses and diseases, and is able to collide with cars head-on and come out completely unfazed. Sam casually walks through fire.
	+ **Super stamina:** Sam is able to do a lot of manual labor around the farm without straining his body and could use his abilities for long periods of time before tiring himself. After he missed the bus for school, Sam was able to run from the Jackson farmhouse to school and appeared rather unfazed afterwards.

		- **Accelerated Thought Process:** Sam can process information at incredible speeds, allowing him to analyze and come to conclusions at an unprecedented rate and perceive everything at a faster time frame. Sam was able to mentally complete Jefferson and Marie’s finances instantly, even faster then the calculator.

* **Super vision:** Sam's vision processes the entire electromagnetic spectrum as well as allowing vast control over selective perception and focus. This umbrella ability includes the following:

* **Electromagnetic Spectrum Perception:** Sam can visually perceive most of the electromagnetic spectrum. He can see and identify radio and television, as well as all other transmissions or transmitted frequencies. With this ability, he can avoid detection by radar or satellite monitoring methods. This also allows him to see the auras generated by living beings.

### Abilities

* **Genius-level intellect:** Sam is a very advanced and methodical thinker.
* **Skilled hand-to-hand combatant:** Sam had no formal combat training but his superhuman physical abilities still made him extremely formidable, with even the most powerful of metahumans often being no real threat to him. He using his super strength; Sam will frequently grab his opponents and throw them through into a wall or object, rendering them unconscious. He also uses a head slap to achieve the same effect. Sam will, for the most part, use super speed (the momentum usually knocking the person out cold) in order to remain anonymous or to sneak up on his opponents.

## Weaknesses

* **Green meteor:** He is vulnerable to Green meteor, radioactive.
* **Green Meteor:** Sam's most severe and dangerous vulnerability. Green kryptonite in any size or form renders Sam powerless and painfully incapacitated; he once remarked that broken ribs hurt less than green meteor exposure. When Sam is exposed to green meteor, his veins become dark and prominent, he sweats profusely, his vision blurs, and he clutches his stomach as if nauseated; it is shown that his blood literally appears to boil. He can barely stay on his feet and usually collapses to the ground in agony. Prolonged exposure renders him unconscious and would probably kill him. Sam can draw blood or bruise while in the presence of green meteor.
