Ace Jones (Defiant)
Overview
A hero of Paragon City, Ace Jones is an energy weilding mutant and a founding member of The Heroics.
Starting Out
Having become disillusioned with Longbow and getting closure regarding his fathers disappearance, Ace decided to go freelance with his newfound mutant abilities and signed with the Paragon City Hero Register becoming an officially recognised super hero in the winter of 2007. He re-coloured a special ops uniform he had managed to retain from his Longbow unit s his first costume and set about fighting crime, wherever he could find it. Things initially went well for the young mutant who broke up street gangs and robberies and, through sheer luck, stumbled upon a Superadine stockpile in a Skulls controlled warehouse which he turned over to the authorities. Impressed, the Paragon Police Department (PPD) granted Ace access to their radio communications to listen out for potential missions and was put in touch with David Wincott, an officer leading the PPD’s efforts in The Hollows. Buoyed by a string of easy victories and an swelling ego Ace dived into The Hollows paying little attention to warnings of the officers stationed there. It wasn’t long before he came up against a foe far superior to anything he’d encountered back in Atlas Park, a Magmite Lord of the Minions of Igneous. It was then that the mysterious Mr Thin rescued the young mutant, placing the creature in a deep sleep allowing Ace to escape. Mr Thin introduced Ace to a fellow energy wielding super human in the form of Staar Fury who took under his wing, teaching him about life as a super hero and how to develop his powers further. Under his tutelage Ace began to truly master the energy powers he had attained, learning how to focus his energies to grant him super speed and flight as well as to concentrate energy around his fists giving him fierce hand to hand abilities. It was during this training that Ace first encountered The Aweosmizer and Starsabre and the trio were offered a place within the super group Staar Fury was putting together – The Heroics.
