Background
When Jonathan Maxwell was young, he and his sister were attacked by Eljanan Brown, a superhuman who would later become Switchblade. During the assault, Maxwell’s sister was killed. From that moment, Maxwell began to harbor a hatred for superhumans, and looked more into the existence of super-powered humans and possibilities of supernatural phenomenon. Despite this, he was never able to find any realistic information on them and abandoned his research, although he never forgot the face of the person who killed his sister.

After graduating from college, Maxwell began an internship at Foxworth Enterprises and met Lucius Foxworth, whom we worked under for years. During his time under Foxworth at Foxworth Enterprises, Foxworth revealed to him the existence of superhumans and discussed his future plans for how to eradicate the population in secret, Maxwell being the only person to know of his true intentions. Maxwell, alongside Dr. Carter, helped him run the business on the surface as one of the major members on his board of directors, while Foxworth worked privately on his superhuman agenda. Following his disappearance in 2015, Maxwell took control over the business, but after the loss of employee and client information and multiple lawsuits being filed against the business because of it, the company folded and all remaining information in the business and its employee’s contracts, excluding Maxwell, were acquired by Melrose Hawthorne. Despite this, Maxwell’s employment history and his college records allowed him to acquire a position as one of the members of the National Security Agency.
