Early Life
Growing up in Paragon meant that Jake was well used to the comings and goings of superheroes and villians alike. He wasn't particularly facinated by any one person or group, believing that they were all too busy posing for magazine covers to do any of the real good that the city needed. He was decent enough in school to get by and get into Paragon U.
Can you hold this for a minute
Freshman year was rough on Jake as he adjusted to life at college and meeting Tara, the girl that captured his heart. He was cinvinced that he had met the girl of his dreams, and it wasn't long after that they moved in together. Fate had other plans for Jake, on his way to school one day he witnessed a fierce battle between a hero named The Judicator and an unknown villian. Longbow's arrival helped with the capture of the villian, but not before he could lay a mirtal blow on the Judicator. In a desperate act to not let his powers become lost to the world, the Judicator transfered his powers to Jake. Witrh his last breath the Judicator said to Jake " Use these gifts better than I did. Make this world a better place." Jake woke days later in the hospital, not really sure what had happened. it wasn't until he was released from the hospital that it truely sunk in. Hours later, he was looking at his freshly pressed hero ID. It wasn't long before he realized that hero work wasn't as easy as it looked on TV, and he was about to find out just how dangerous it could be.

Vengeance consumed Jake as he worked nonstop to find Kane, eventually tracking him down to a warehouse in Atlas. Jake was relentless in his assault, not allowing Kane to recover. Kane, trying to make a quick escape out of the warehouse was crushed and killed when Jake flung a car at him, killing not only him, but two Paragon police officers as well. The investigation was swift and Jake was reprimanded and given a verbal berating by none other than Ms. Liberty herself. Jake's anger at the entire situation, up to and including the inability of anyone to help capture Kane caused him to lash out, giving Ms.Liberty a rather visible black eye, right before two Longbow nullifiers subdued him.
