History

Jerome Jaxon was a vice-president at Am-Can Petroleum Company. One of his employees was James MacDonald Hudson. When Jaxon revealed his plan to turn one of Hudson's designs, a cybernetic exploratory suit, over to the American Military, Hudson quit. Jaxon's secretary, Heather McNeil, also gave her three weeks notice in protest of Jaxon's actions. That night, the suit was used to destroy the plans for it and the controlling device (without which the suit was useless) was stolen. This loss utterly destroyed Jaxon's life as he was fired, his wife left him and he eventually attempted suicide. His failed suicide attempt left him paralyzed.

His life found a meaning again, however when the original Guardian appeared. He noticed that they operated on the same principles as Hudson's designs. He eventually fouund a link between the Ministry of Defense and Guardian. He called the ministry and then asked for Hudson. When Mac answered, Jaxon began to plan.

He contacted Roxxon Oil, who he knew was interested in controlling unique energy sources and told them about Guardian. They were interested and agreed to fund him in his project. They even gave him an assistant, Delphine Courtney, who acted as his "legs." She recruited former members of Beta and Gamma Flight to form Omega Flight. Omega Flight had two purposes: the death of James MacDonald Hudson and the destruction of Alpha Flight.

Jaxon then arranged for Hudson to be offered a job with Roxxon in New York. Once he and Heather were both in New York, Jaxon kidnapped Heater and sent Omega Flight against Hudson. He himself played a role in this fight as he took possesion of the original Box robot [thus becoming Box II]. He beat Hudson badly but Hudson was finally able to win and the feedback killed Jaxon. However, the damage he did to Hudson's armour did appear to kill him (though it was later revealed that Hudson was sent hurtling through time and space).
