Jonah Isaiah Grayson is a Meta-Human | Para-Human hybrid - and the triplet sibling of both Aiden Grayson and Phoebe Grayson. He is also the son of Silas Grayson. Jonah currently lives in Haven City. He is also the Meta-Human vigilante known as Scalar.
Summary
Prior History
Jonah has a history similar to that of his triplet siblings - with the only difference being his path of education. Jonah chose academia after their move to the West Coast. By the time he reached his early 20s, Jonah had obtained various PhDs in numerous subjects, including: mathematics, physics, electrical engineering, applied biochemistry, literature, history and various other subjects.
During his brief stint in secondary school - Jonah befriended a girl named Elizabeth Cardigan, and was incredibly kind to her as her classmate. Although Jonah was expressing what he felt was proper conduct, as well as cordial behavior at first, he then quickly began to develop feelings for Elizabeth. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't in the same core curriculum as her for most classes, though he did end up spending time with her outside of classes.
Scalar
Eventually, Jonah would be recruited by Sanctuary City's local government to aid in a physics research joint venture with the New Science Initiative. The experiment involved the generation, detection and direct observation of chronons - a hypothetical subatomic particle serving as the carrier of entropic time. Unfortunately, the experiment went awry, with the particle accelerator malfunctioning - causing a distortion in space-time to appear. A bright golden bolt of energy then struck Jonah - knocking him unconscious.
After he awoke, Jonah learned that he had developed the ability to move at unfathomable speeds. Recognizing the familiar nature of Jonah's new abilities, Phoebe called her close friend Lisa Dawkins to investigate. According to Lisa, the experiment had turned Jonah into a Para-Human with similar abilities to her. Jonah had become a Speedster with a connection to the same power source as Lisa. Soon afterwards, Jonah then began training with Lisa to hone his new abilities. He then became the vigilante known as Scalar.
As Scalar, Jonah has helped Aiden and Phoebe in their investigation of Chiral's old laboratories hidden around the United States, and even encountered old cloning test subjects, such as Champion - whom he swiftly defeated.[1]
He also aided Mosaic and Hyperia in their takedown of Chiral - before the latter was transferred to The Wedge.[2]
Current Activities
Jonah is currently operating as the Chief Financial Officer of Archeon Incorporated - while working out of the Haven City branch of the company. He also continues to help people as Scalar, while continuing to search up more information about the whereabouts of specific dangerous individuals - in the hopes of stopping them before they can enact more of their nefarious plans.
Powers & Abilities
IsoForm Nature
Unlike his siblings, Jonah is an IsoForm - and not an IsoMatrix. Because of this, he instead mimics the structure of IsoMatrix agents - manifesting a small portion of their immense powers.
This IsoForm mimicry allows him a veritable collection of abilities, including:
Mosaic DNA
Much like his siblings and his father, Jonah is capable of sequencing and re-sequencing his DNA without any tangible limit. Although not autonomic like his brother Aiden's variant of Mosaic DNA, Jonah's version allows for more modularity of alterations - regularly creating different "variants" of any given Meta-Gene sequence.
Perceptive Mimicry
The result of Jonah's Structure Matrix working in synergy with his Mosaic DNA. Jonah has the ability to mimic the Meta-Gene sequences of any Meta-Human, whose ability he can visually observe and understand.
Speedster Conduit
As an IsoForm, Jonah can tap into the same extra-dimensional energies that empower Lisa Dawkins. An experiment involving a particle accelerator catalyzed the process, imbuing Jonah with a series of speed and motion-based powers.
His powers as a Speedster include:
- Speedster Physiology
- Speed Force Lightning
- Healing Factor
- Limited Sound Manipulation
- Electricity Manipulation
- Time Manipulation
- Accelerated Cognition
- Limited Air Manipulation
- Psionic Shielding | Telepathic Resistance
- Vibrations
- Protective Speed Force Aura
- Limited Electromagnetic Control
