Jefferson "Jax" Jackson (born September 12, 1993) is a mechanic. After the death of Ronnie Raymond, he took his place as one half of the transmuted and conjoined Meta-human called Firestorm alongside Martin Stein. Jax was then recruited by Rip Hunter on a mission to take down Vandal Savage; though Jax was initially unwilling to join the team, Stein, who was desperate to become a time traveler and knew that he couldn't be separated from Jax for long without his powers becoming unstable, drugged him and forced him to come along. Despite joining the team against his will, Jax later grew to like being part of the team, and he now acts as the mechanic of the Waverider as well as a member of the Legends, a group of people dedicated to protecting the timeline from time criminals.
He served as a minor character in season two of The Flash and one of the main protagonists of the first three seasons of Legends of Tomorrow.
He is portrayed by Franz Drameh.
Biography[]
Jefferson was a metahuman and seeked out by Barry Allen and Martin Stein as a compatible replacement of the recently deceased Ronnie because the dark matter wave from the particle accelerator explosion changed his body's molecular structure in a way that made him one of two perfect matches to Stein. At first Jefferson refuses, but he agrees to merge with Stein and team up with him after they had been attacked by a former candidate, Dr. Henry Hewitt. Soon they both became the new Firestorm.
Soon, he and Stein were recruited by a time traveler named Rip Hunter, who is recruited superheros and supervillains in order to defeat and destroy Vandal Savage, an ancient archenemy of Carter Hall & Kendra Saunter (who are two of the recruits. Jefferson worked as an engineer of the timeship that Hunter captained. Since then, Jefferson and the other supers including, Stein, Sara Lance, Leonard Snart, Mick Rory, Carter Hall, Kendra Saunders, & Ray Palmer became known as the Legends.
