History
As a Nova[]
Not much is known about Jesse, except that he used to be a Nova Centurion before he infiltrated Adomox's Supernovas undercover.[2] When Sam gained access to his files, it was revealed that he staged a fake murder of his comrade who later sent words to the Nova Corps that they sacked Adomox and absorbed the Supernovas as their Black-Ops division.[3]

Jesse as a Nova
One of Jesse's missions as a Nova was to reinforce the other Novas that were rescuing Gamora and Rocket Raccoon. On the way back however, he was forced to return to Earth.[4] However, according to Titus, he abandoned his team in the middle of a Chitauri chase in order to see the birth of his first born child.[5] For the next fifteen years, he saw his son Sam and daughter grow.
Civilian[]
Jobless, he became a janitor at Sam's school but wasn't good at it due to his constant flashbacks and alcoholism. Titus, an old ally of Jesse's, told his son, Sam, he killed Jesse while he tried to convince him what he was doing was wrong. It was later revealed Jesse was not dead but being held captive by the Chitauri.[5]

Jesse, held captive by the Chitauri
Later he led a revolt and escaped via a captured Chitauri ship heading for Knowhere. Although he was rescued by Sam, he was again recaptured by Warbringer's Chitauri.[6] He was seemingly rescued and returned again to Earth, embracing Eva after a long absence.[7] However, it was later revealed that the Jesse that returned to Earth was an imposter after having his face deformed by a monster[8] and confessed to being a clone created by the Chitauri from Jesse's DNA.[9] The fate of the real Jesse is unknown at this time.
Personality[]
To most Jesse was seen as an alcoholic; uncontrollable, immature and delusional. Even his own son had a hard time believing in his dad. Only his daughter and wife believed in him, with Kaelynn saying he was the greatest Nova ever. Despite this, he greatly cared for his family and loved his son enough to trust Sam with his Nova helmet. Furthermore, compliments of him from Gamora and Rocket Raccoon prove his worth and status as a hero and great man. During his captivity under Chitauri, he sobered up and led a slave revolt. He also showed to have organizational skills after a few mishaps between escapees.[citation needed]Paraphernalia

Trivia
- Sam was told by his sister, Kaelynn, that her favorite story was when Jesse and the others painted another ring around Saturn.[4] When we see that Jesse has been captured, the planet they are on looks similar to Saturn only with another ring (different than the other one) around it.[5]
- Although not confirmed, there were hints that Jesse may have been a humanoid alien (possibly Xandarian) due to his inability to adapt his life on Earth and Titus' comment, "these humans", that implied the theory.[5] In addition, the journals from High Evolutionary stated Sam Alexander as "Hybrid/Alien Enhanced Human".[10]
