## Summary

Jonathan is a classmate of Dion Warren. At the start of season 1, he is at quite antagonistic towards Dion. In " ISSUE #103: Watch Man" , he tries to steal Dion's watch by pretending to use it for a magic trick, which got both boys (but Dion in particular) in trouble with Mr. Campbell. Only after he gets into a fight with Chris during science class, and is thus forced by their teacher Anthony Fry to join Esperanza and Dion for their project for the Stem Stars Competition , does Jonathan slowly warm up to them. Dion however gets quite jealous at how well Jonathan and Esperanza get along.

Along with Dion and Esperanza, he developped the Storm Killer; a device that could theoretically stop a storm by cooling it down with liquid nitrogen. When The Crooked Man attacked the school to get Dion, Jonathan tried to use the storm killer against him, but it had no effect. When Dion fought the Crooked Man, Jonathan gave Nicole a metal pole with a chain to use as a lightning rod. With this, Nicole and Dion where able to defeat the Crooked Man.

In Season 2, he has formed the Triangle of Justice with Dion and Esperanza, with his own superhero name being Admiral Annihilation. When Esperanza ropes Dion and Jonathan into participating in the school muscial wit her, Jonathan offers Kwame to take care of the sets and pyrotechniques. In "ISSUE 206: 36 Good Hours", when Brayden Mills attacks McKoy Park Elementary to get Dion, Jonathan is able to overpower him by attacking him with a fire extinguisher. In "ISSUE 208: Who You Are", he and Esperanza see to it that the musical continues so the audience won't notice the fight between Dion and Brayden outside the school.

## Personality

Jonathan is described by Nicole as a "Skater Kid". He likes to act tough and hang out with cool kids, but underneath he is insecure and quick to anger. In particular mentioning his father to him is a sore spot. In Season 2, he is a lot friendlier, and fully supports Dion's superheroing.

## Relationships

* **Chris & Steffi**: Jonathan frequently hangs out with Chris and Steffi at the skatepark, and at first glance they appear to be his best friends. According to Esperanza ,however, the two frequently make fun of Jonathan, and she wonders why he bothers to keep up with them.
* **Dion Warren**: Dion and Jonathan have a rough start, with Jonathan acting as a bully towards Dion. The two slowly become friends after being partnered for the science fair project. In "ISSUE #109: Storm Killer", Jonathan discovers Dion has superpowers.
* **Esperanza Jimenez:** Like many other kids in school, Jonathan initially barely notices Esperanza. But after being partnered with her and Dion for the science fair project, he quickly comes to accept her as a friend. Dion gets quite jealous upon finding out the two have been playing Zelda together.

## Trivia
