Jack was a good inventor from the start. At age 3 he built his own toys out of wood and gears. He made little robots that responded to his cries as a young child. He was an orphan, but he had the marvelous skill to invent, to the point of him rivaling Tech Commander as a skilled inventor. At age 5 he created a wooden playmate to fill the void of his loneliness.
At age 12, Jack became a top scientist in a Cerberus facility. He helped build the mechs and technology in the facility. He maintained the AA guns and updated all the Atlas mechs. The Illusive Man wanted him to join his search for the next heir in the Nakamura family.
Jack declined the offer, instead leaving to pursue the finer arts of inventing. His inventions made millions, and he grew to be popular.
Joining the Seraphim Squadron[]
Amongst Jack's wealth and amazing success grew depression. He had no purpose in life. He took a hike in the wilderness until he was cornered by the Seraphim Royal Guard. He was threatened with his life, until he demanded that he would be brought forth to the Royal Guard's king, Cody Nakamura. Jack wanted to join the Seraphim Squadron all his life. He talked with Cody, who has heard of his marvelous talent for inventions, and Jack got himself a spot as the Seraphim's Top Inventor.
Superhero Life[]
Jack also did a lot of superhero business as well. He was so good at the job, he was granted the name Doctor Steampunk by Cody.
