Jackson King

## Background

### 1970 - 1992: Jackson King

Jackson King is the second son of Isaiah & Mariah King. His father was a military man & a former member of Team Two, a secret black ops team, before settling down with his Mariah. While on one of his last missions with the team, Isaiah was exposed to radiation from a special device that International Operations was working on. Isaiah & the rest of his team gained powers from the radiation, but I.O. remained unaware & released the team from their contracts. When Isaiah & Mariah decided to have kids, Jackson & his brother inherited powers similar to their father.

As the years went on, Isaiah was slowly driven mad from the radiation & eventually abandoned his family. For most of his life, Jackson & his older brother Henry were under the impression their father was a regular military man who shot some guns at the "bad guys." Their mother had shielded them from the truth & told them that their father died until they were old enough & she told them the real story. Learning the truth about his father, Jackson decided to spend the rest of his life trying to prove he was not like his father. To do so, he would fight for his country & joined the military.

### 1992 - 2007: Jackson King

Jackson spent over a decade in the Marine Corps until he was attached to a crisis team that worked for the United Nations. When the group was attacked, Jackson's powers suddenly activated, allowing him to save the life of the crisis team's leader & a friend of his father, Henry Bendix. Impressed, Bendix asked Jackson if he wanted to change careers. Jackson soon became a member of the United Nations sponsored team, Stormwatch, an organization that operated in semi-secrecy. Taking on the codename Battalion, he joined Nautika & Sunburst as the new recruits of the team.
