Coldcast

Nathan Jones and his brother Christopher came up hard on the mean streets of Chicago. Nathan lost his right eye while still a teenager, when he was drawn into a fight with a local street gang while defending his brother (an incident which triggered his metagene). Nathan discovered he was able to detect and manipulate discrete energy interactions. Eventually, he was to meet Manchester Black, who would recruit him into the superteam The Elite, and give him the nickname "Coldcast". Unfortunately, the Elite were somewhat misguided and overly violent. They disregarded international and civil laws, and thus quickly came into conflict with Superman during a mission in Libya.  The team's first battle with Superman ended in a victory for them, largely due to Coldcast's powers. Superman later called them all to a showdown on Jupiter's moon, Io, where after a lengthy battle he was able to defeat the entire team and takes them into custody. Coldcast was swayed by Superman's example and would go on to join the Elite's successor group, Justice League Elite.

During his time in the Justice League Elite, Coldcast developed a relationship with Menagerie (Sonja). He later suffered a fallout with the Elite after coming into conflict with his brother Christopher, who joined an underground drug ring known as Aftermath. Coldcast was incarcerated in the Slab for the death of dictator Hi-Shan Bhat before being freed by his teammate Kasumi and rejoined the Elite in helping freeing Vera Black from the influence of her brother.  After freeing Vera, Coldcast and the Elite tracked down Menagerie, who was responsible for framing Coldcast for Hi-Shan Bhat's death, in Costa Rica. Coldcast then was cleared of all murder charges and set free.
