Prince Jason of Themyscira is a supporting character in the DC Universe. He is the son of Hippolyta, and lost sibling of Wonder Woman.
History[]
The Darkseid War[]
On her deathbed during the Darkseid War, Myrina claims to have witnessed Hippolyta give birth to a boy just moments after Diana was born. She asserts that the child is the true chosen one, and speaks her final words to Diana, "Family... Nothing more important... find him. Find Jason. And the island... There are lies... Lies you need to... I am... Sorry..."
Jason is shown in flashback, his birth a shock to Hippolyta and the midwives. His fate unknown, it is speculated that he may be buried on Themyscira (perhaps in an attempt to avoid being traded to Hephaestus, as was done with male offspring of this version of Amazons), or out in the world somewhere.
Wonder Woman monologues that she hopes what Myrina told her is true. (Justice League #50, July 2016)
The night of Diana's birth on Themyscira, Myrina also gave birth to a child, fathered by Darkseid, named Grail. The birth was attended by Penelope and Menalippe, Hippolyta's "favorite oracle", who foresaw a future in which Grail would start a war of suffering. Menalippe called out several names of those who would hurt if Grail survived, among them, Jason. (Divergence #1, June 2015)
Following Darkseid's rebirth from the Lois Lane of Earth-3 (Superwoman), his own daughter Grail takes him into her care. She tells her infant father that she knows Diana's secret. Her mother (Myrina) told her of Diana's twin before she died. She claims he is "out there in the world", and that he has "great power. Like you, Darkseid." (DC Universe: Rebirth #1, July 2016)
In recapping possible origin stories for Wonder Woman — one in which she's born to Hippolyta of clay, and another in which she's the progeny of Hippolyta and Zeus — Wonder Woman: Rebirth posits that the Queen, in one version of history, "came to be with child." Although the name Jason is not referenced, a postscript to the panel adds, "Or children."
Personality[]
Jason initially appeared accommodated and chose to live a quiet life away from the spotlight on the Aegean Sea coast. He resent not using his powers to help others and feels overshadowed by his sister.
Jason is described as a skilled liar, but he usually uses this for a greater good. He is laid-back, which makes him popular among others. He values the simple joys of life. He is a young man who enjoys socializing, womanizer and living life to the fullest. Despite his carefree nature, he is lazy, confused, and disorganized, often frustrating his sister, Wonder Woman, who picks on your foot.
Despite his flaws, Jason remains fiercely loyal to Wonder Woman. He maintains a strong sense of loyalty to his family, always resisting the temptation to betray them. He stands by her side and refuses to betray her, even when tempted by individuals like Grail, daughter of Darkseid. When presented with an appealing offer from Grail, he rejects it and remains dedicated to his sister, fighting alongside her. In the end, he makes a false sacrifice.
