Jay Nakamura is a Gamorran refugee living in the United States. He has a keen interest in journalism and activism, and anonymously runs an underground journalism site called The Truth for an eponymous activist group he leads under the code name Gossamer. Due to experimentation against his will by Henry Bendix, Jay is also a "post-human" with artifically created metahuman abilities.

History

At some point, Jay began attending Metropolis College, where he headed the media department. On the first day of a new semester, he and other students were saved from a school shooter by Jon Kent, the new Superman, who gave up his secret identity in doing so. In return, Jay revealed to Jon that he runs the news site The Truth, where he exposes truths that mainstream media dare not report, such as the plight of Gamorran refugees, becoming an important ally of Superman in the fight for justice.

After an invitation from Jon and his father to dinner with their family in Smallville ended with an attack orchestrated by Gamorran President Henry Bendix, Jay's powers were revealed to Jon. Convinced that the attack is the result of Bendix creating and using other post-humans to use as weapons, Jay introduced Jon to Wink and The Aerie, other members of The Truth who are also victims of post-human experimentation. The group explained their concerns to Superman, who set off to confront Bendix directly. However, Bendix was prepared for this outcome and rigged a trap to overload Superman's powers.

Jay later found that Superman had set off in a frantic attempt help people around the world while still distressed by the overload. When the burnout began causing him to make mistakes, Jay insisted that he rest to avoid harming anyone. By the time Jon recovered, night had fallen and the two had a chance to talk. Jay assured Jon that even if Jon feels like he has to save everyone, he never has to worry about saving him. The two found comfort in a kiss before Jon departed, giving Jay his cape and promising to come back for it soon and work together on a plan to stop Bendix.
