John Jones



John Jones is a super-powered alien from the planet Mars, and is the planet's sole survior. He currently works in Metropolis as a Lieutenant Homicide Detective for the Metropolis Police Department and is a part-time member of Clark Kent's team of heroes. Before John came to Earth, he once worked as an intergalactic bounty hunter known as the Martian Manhunter in which he helped Jor-El trap and imprison criminals from the 28 known galaxies. (Labyrinth)

John promised to watch over Jor-El's son Kal-El in order to make sure that he fulfilled his destiny; apparently, he has been watching Clark from a distance since Jonathan and Martha found him. (Phantom)

John has saved Clark on many occasions since making his presence known to him in late 2006 and is there to give him advice and guidance in Jor-El's absence. Since then, he shows up to help Clark whenever a situation gets too much for him to handle. He made the ultimate sacrifice in the fall of 2008 saving Clark's life again by flying him into the sun and giving up his own powers to restore Clark's.

He got a job as a homicide detective for the Metropolis Police Department due to his powers being taken away by the sun. John's powers were recently returned to him by Doctor Fate who transported him to Mars, sacrificing his own life in the process and allowing himself to be killed by the villainous Icicle. (Absolute Justice, Part 2)

John has continued his police work even after his powers were restored. (Checkmate) {| class="toc" id="toc"

PersonalityEdit

 * "Even when I had the power to leave Earth, I chose not to. For one reason - Hope. Hope for the future. Humanity's capacity for violence is great, but their capacity for hope is greater than any other I've ever encountered." - John Jones, Absolute Justice

John is indirectly portrayed as being exceptionally strong-willed, as he was able to watch Clark go through many unpleasant circumstances, and didn't intervene unless it was absolutely needed.[Citation needed] He is a vegetarian and has grown particularly fond of cookies, especially Oreoes. When he lost his powers after he saved Clark by flying him into the the yellow sun's heart, he became a homicide detective, which made him appreciate the immense power he once wielded, and pride later began to develop inside him, which made him reluctant to ask for help.

He strongly believes in destiny and is determined to help others fulfill their callings that he sees as worthy. He went as far as risking his own super powers to preserve Clark Kent's destiny. As one of Jor-El's oldest and cloesest friends, he admires the House of El, holding a special place for its members in his heart, with which he later demonstrates with Clark.

But Kara states that he forced her and Zor-El from their beds. ( Cure ) Before Krypton fully perished, he told Jor-El that he would only be a "watchful guardian", by monitoring his son Kal-El from afar till he was ready to complete his calling.

He is also very wise and often gives Clark advice on certain matters. He also seems to be close with Chloe and Oliver.

He believes that humans, while having a great potential for violence and betrayal, have a greater potential for good and promise. He uses this belief to convince Hawkman that giving up on humanity is not the answer. (Absolute Justice, Part 2)
