Cadence Jackson


 * "Apologies are great, but they don’t really change anything. You know what does? Action."
 * ― Cadence Jackson

Detective Cadence "CJ" Jackson, also known as Cloud Nine, is a miracle who possesses the ability to control the weather and all of its forms. In addition, he is a detective working for the Mondo City Police Department and a member of the Champions. Jackson came into conflict with the vigilante Resonance when she intervened with an ongoing police investigation and was later fired from the MCPD after allowing Dawn Leary to avoid prosecution. He later crossed paths with Grey again, this time engaging in physical combat and using his own powers against her, subsequently alerting the Champions who broke up the fight. Afterwards, Jackson was officially recruited into the Champions and was reinstated as a police officer.

Struggle to Adulthood
Cadence Jackson was born on Sunday, November 27, 1988, in Mondo City, Pennsylvania. He was a miracle who possessed the ability to control the weather and all of its forms. During his time at high school, he began a relationship with Jasmine Brown. Following their graduation, Brown fell pregnant with their daughter, Ciara Brown, but would ultimately leave Jackson after claiming she was unable to cope, though she still took Ciara with her. At some point, Jackson became a detective for the Mondo City Police Department.

Meeting Resonance and Aero
Fourteen years later, Jackson was still working within the Mondo City Police Department. During one late night shift, he was informed of strange activity coming from a warehouse where they believed a crime family that they had been tracking was currently held up at. He reluctantly drove to the area situated outside of Mondo City, where he was approached by Chellsea Grey, who refused to answer Jackson's questions. Grey informed him that the business was taken care of, but Jackson refused to take her word and requested for back up. This prompted Grey to mock him for being an apparent "baseline human", claiming that he could do "literally nothing" against her, though he insisted she shouldn't be so sure about her accusation. Resonance then fled from the warehouse, leading Jackson to a nearby gas station where miracle Dawn Leary had been dumpster diving. As Jackson chased Grey into an alleyway and demanded that she awaited prosecution, he watched as Leary carelessly intervened, prompting Grey to attack her using her abilities before escaping, much to Jackson's dismay. Despite his frustrations, he proceeded to help Leary to her feet before telling her to never intervene with police business again and subsequently letting her escape before his back up could arrive. Afterwards, Jackson was accused of letting both Grey and Leary avoid prosecution and was relieved of duty.

Clash with Resonance
Sometime later, Jackson was living in a small apartment block on the outskirts of Mondo City. One night, he was approached by Chellsea Grey, who taunted him about being fired from the MCPD. Jackson questioned how she knew that he was fired, and Grey revealed that she had stolen CCTV footage which showed Jackson letting Dawn Leary escape and tipped the police. Enraged, Jackson used his weather manipulation ability to blast a small tornado towards Grey. Jackson and Grey took their fight out onto the empty street, using their contrasting abilities against each other, causing a hefty amount of property damage in the process. Eventually, Jackson grabbed Grey by the neck and flew her directly into the heart of Midtown Mondo City, subsequently catching the attention of Henry Hudson, who swiftly deployed the Champions. Meanwhile, their fight continued, endangering innocent civilians and damaging public property. Jackson's weather-based abilities caused various lightning strikes across the city, one of which nearly hit Hex until she was saved by the speedster Drift. He was soon confronted by the Champions, who ordered him and Grey to stand down. While Jackson complied, Grey refused and attacked the team, leading Jackson to try and assist them, but ended up getting in the way. As a result, he was attacked by Miracle-Man, Behemoth and Hex who were able to subdue him. The rest of the Champions had caught Grey, and Jackson then went with them to Hudson Tower, where Henry Hudson was forced to reveal the Champions' true objectives and his own alien heritage to the group. Jackson, believing he as a miracle had a duty to fight with the Champions, was officially recruited into the team, but questioned where they would get their resources. This prompted Hudson and Miracle-Man to unveil the team's new headquarters, Champions Mansion, which included a large penthouse for the team to reside in and an enormous sub-basement with all of the needed essentials, high-tech equipment and other resources ready to be utilized by the team. Jackson, in awe of the war table, agreed that this was an operation he could get behind.
