Jericho (DC Comics)

Joe Wilson going by the name "Kane Wolfman" appeared as a recurring character on the sixth and seventh seasons of The CW Arrowverse show Arrow, played by Liam Hall.

[1] Jericho was created in the early 1980s, a few years after Marv Wolfman and George Pérez relaunched the Teen Titans series and turned it into a major hit for DC Comics.

Marv Wolfman had decided on the name, which he got from an unused story from the previous Titans series,[2] and with the idea of Jericho being the son of Deathstroke, but could not think of any other aspects of the character.

Jericho discovers that he is a metahuman who can possess others via eye contact and joins Adeline as a member of her espionage organization, Searchers Inc.

The rescue mission was a success, and Jericho subsequently joined the team, but the Titans were initially wary of him because of his relationship to Deathstroke and the betrayal of Terra.

[5][6][7] He is transferred to a new body, but is driven insane by the remnants of the personalities he had absorbed over the years and battles the Teen Titans on several occasions.

[17] As a young adult, Jericho works as an executive vice-president for a tech firm that his mother owns in Los Angeles, and is engaged to his interpreter Etienne.

Despite his pacifistic nature and dislike for physical violence, he is also skilled in hand-to-hand combat and able to hold his own against his father, Deathstroke.

In The New 52, Jericho receives an array of psychic abilities aside from his possession powers, such as being able to telepathically control his brother Grant and his mother Adeline.

[22] Although his telepathy can be blocked by others with mental powers, Jericho can read their aura to see if they hold malicious intents[23] and can also project an energy field to defend against attacks.

[24] In DC Rebirth, Jericho demonstrates the ability to separate his incorporeal, spiritual self from his physical body when he uses his powers to possess other people.

[40] However, it is eventually revealed that he is not interested in women, saying in sign language to Kole, who was in love with him, that he is gay in Convergence: New Teen Titans #2, which was confirmed by artist Nicola Scott.

The New Titans #83 (1992), the final appearance of Jericho with his original appearance. The character returned eleven years later with a new look.
