Anti-Villainous Mastermind

**Jordan Mahkent**, also known as **Icicle** and **Voyeur**, is the main antagonist of *Stargirl*, serving as the main antagonist of Season 1, an unseen antagonist in Season 2, and the main antagonist of Season 3.

He is the CEO of The American Dream company and secret founder/leader of the Injustice Society of America to combat the world's injustices and led the organization in destroying the Justice Society of America a decade before the start of the series. He plotted to restore the U.S to glory through Project New America, a plan where half the country would be brainwashed into accepting a new constitution that would fix several societal issues, though millions would die in the process.

After being foiled by the new JSA and seemingly killed, he would resurface in the final season in a plot to use Starman's body as a mouthpiece and win the JSA's trust, only to be foiled once more and killed off for good. He is the archenemy of Starman and his successor, Stargirl.

## What Makes Him Magnificent?

* He has a solid tragedy of his family being forced to flee Norway to escape persecution for the cryokinetic powers, motivating Jordan to use such powers to create a better world for the next generation.
* He is the charismatic founder of both the American Dream and the ISA, using the former to rebuild America one town at a time while having the latter secretly dispose of their enemies and further his true goal of enacting Project New America.
	+ In fact, he was the glue that held the Injustice Society together and the only person everyone else respected to varying degrees.
	+ He was beloved to his town of Blue Valley after his company single-handily restored it to glory to the point that he was easily able to explain away his supposed death in the Season 1 finale and the public would buy it.
* He is a genuine anti-villain and well-intentioned extremist who sought to eliminate all racial, gender, and sexual orientation discrimination & make the U.S adopt renewable energy via Project New America. Even the heroes question if they're on the right side once they find this out until they learn of the true casualty count of Project New America.
* He is a benevolent boss to his American Dream employees and a genuinely affable/friendly person. For example:
	+ He goes out of his way to take new hire Barbara's suggestions even though they may not be profitable and is humble enough to admit her plan is better than what he had in mind
	+ Despite killing some of his ISA colleagues, he takes no pleasure in it, does it only for pragmatic reasons, and makes sure to offer some comfort and gently lay their bodies on the ground. Otherwise, he's pretty polite to his ISA colleagues even to the notorious Dragon King.
	+ He holds no grudges for the heroes killing him and foiling his plans, even forgiving them and taking Courtney's words to heart to come up with a less heinous (though still villainous) plan.
* He led the Justice Society into a trap for the ISA to destroy the organization once and for all, ending the greatest heroes in the world and the golden age they spawned.
* He had the ISA lay low and hide in Blue Valley to enact their plans in secret while maintaining public identities as productive members of society.
* He tracked down Hourman after learning he survived and sent Solomon Grundy to successfully kill him and his wife after they had learned the ISA was in Blue Valley.
* After his wife died from poisoning from corporate toxic dumps secretly underneath the school she taught at, he tracked down everyone who had a hand in her death across the country to kill them.
* Upon learning from Brainwave that a girl had Starman's staff, he told him to be hold off on doing anything until he returned.
* He has a sense of honor and some standards, chewing out the Wizard for being a coward and a mealy-mouthed politican that doesn't uphold his promises yet still being disturbed by the Dragon King wanting to experiment on him.
* He's a good improviser and opportunist, derailing a bus about to hit him to not only escape and distract the heroes, but also kill the Wizard's son Joey to make the Wizard predictably barge into his house for vengeance so Icicle could kill him discreetly and use the two as martyrs for his plans.
	+ Despite this, he did feel a little bad after his son told him Joey was a good-natured kid beloved by everyone at Blue Valley High.
* After the new JSA foil Project New America and he seemingly falls to his death, he reveals himself to still be alive and gets the drop on the heroes to nearly kill them, before Mike smashes him to pieces driving a pickup truck.
* Through sheer strength of will, he was able to reconstitute himself and went about working on his new plan.
* He figured out that Starman's staff had imparted cosmic energy on him that was slowly healing his body and allied with a surviving Dragon King and Ultra-Humanite to dig up his body and resurrect him in order to transplant Ultra-Humanite's brain into Starman's body to be his puppet that he would use to win over the JSA and become president to enact his policies since he was a beloved hero everyone admired.
* He secretly set up cameras all over Blue Valley without anyone noticing and spied on the population including the heroes for months as Voyeur.
* After the reformed Gambler returned to Blue Valley and was onto the trio, he had him murdered by Dragon King in Ultra-Humanite's body in order to drive a wedge between the JSA and reformed ISA members while "Starman" would manipulate the heroes, before Jordan himself returned and put on a convincing case that the heroes had to ally with him and his family to combat the greater threat of "Ultra-Humanite", coming close to succeeding had Pat Dugan not come to expose the villainous trio.
* He escaped death from the final battle with the heroes once more for months and nearly got away entirely before Artemis secretly tracked him down and murdered him to avenge the death of her parents.

## What Makes Him a Baddie?

* He is responsible for the destruction of the original Justice Society, personally laying the killing blow on Starman himself.
* He derailed a school bus that was about to run him over.
* He killed the Wizard's wife and son.
* His Project New America involved permanently reprogramming 75 million Americans into mindless slaves that would accept his New Constitution while another 25 million would die as collateral damage.
	+ Those 75 million would be used to force the rest of the country to accept his constitution as well, with violence if necessary.
* He worked with Dragon King and Ultra Humanite to transplant Ultra-Humanite's brain into a resurrected Starman's body to use as his puppet to win over the JSA and eventually become president to enact his policies.
* He is responsible for the death of several of his reformed ISA colleagues: Gambler, Sportsmaster, and Tigress.
* Despite wanting to put their past beside them, he tried to kill the heroes after they refused to do so once he was exposed.

## Trivia

* He is the first and so far only *Stargirl* villain to be a MB.
