Captain Jonathan Power

 

Tall, dark haired and good looking, Jonathan Power's association with the battle against Dread began when he was in his late teens. His father, the scientist Dr Stuart Gordon Power was the creator of the Power Suits - they were his contribution to the war against Lord Dread then still known as Lyman Taggart.Idealistic, capable, married to the cause - Jonathan is committed to seeing the defeat of Dread and the overthrowing of his tyranical empire.

Jonathan was brought up to believe in his father's creed - that all life is precious and promised his father that he would always ' Preserve All Life' His motives for fighting Dread are both noble and personal - he opposes Dread's vision of a perfect world and his means of achieving that; through tyranny and fear and because his father died at Dread's hands during a battle in Volcania.But despite strong personal motives, Jonathan never allows revenge to overcome him in his battle against Dread.

Jon is hopelessly devoted to fighting the battle a - it seems to preoccupy him all the time.We rarely see him in humourous moments - most of the time, he maintains a serious disposition. This sometimes leads to the appearance of Jon as a very detached and distanced character, lacking in warmth and awkward with his feelings. This seems inconsistant with the idea that symbolically, he is the antithesis of Dread and his 'Emotions are the Enemy of Logic' mentality.

As the single, eligible, not too bad looking male lead, it's almost presumed that some sparks will fly between him and the only female lead, Jennifer 'Pilot' Chase and from episode one, we can tell that the Captain and Pilot have a special relationship - she is the only one, other than Hawk who calls him 'Jon'.

His Powersuit comes with the standard protection against Digitisation by a BioDread and is equipped with a blaster, a pole staff for close range combat and a jet pack with short distance flight capability. The exact extent of his Power Suit's capabilities is unknown.
