John Jessup was born in 1980 to Peter and Marie Jessup. When John was five his parents were murdered right in front of John. His mission was to get revenge for his parents death. A year after his fathers death John received newspaper clippings about his father. His father was a mutant! He had the ability to turn his skin into an organic diamond-like substance that was imppenatrable. His mother on the other hand was not, although she was a computer genius. John soon realized that he could create force fields. When he was looking through the attic, which he was never allowed to go to, he found his fathers two old silverballers. Taking the name "Hitman", John went out on a quest for vengence.
