Subject Name: Jericho

Alias(es): Starman

Affiliation: Self

First Recorded Appearance: October 1945

Power Tier Classification: Class S (First Diver)

Subject refuses to submit to DMC testing. However, verified recordings demonstrate Jericho catching an asteroid estimated by NASA to weigh 64 million tons in space, diverting its path from Earth and hurtling it away at a speed faster than its initial arrival. Subject has shown little to no strain when performing feats of strength, and currently ranks the highest on the DMC strength scale.

Verified recordings demonstrate Jericho moving at 8645 kilomoters per hour (or Mach 7), breaking the sound barrier while within our atmosphere, both airborne and underwater. Subject has boasted the ability to fly faster than the speed of light in the vacuum of space. The DMC has yet to verify this ability.

Like all Divers, the subject has demonstrated the ability to project concentrated heat beams from his eyes. Jericho's eyes take on a bright yellow color. So far xihuitlium has proven to be the only metal on Earth able to withstand the blast, but concentrated energy will cause the xihuitlium to reach its melting point. DMC asset Solaris was able to withstand the heat beams from multiple Divers, as had Captain Justice, Shatterpunch, and Leviathan, although Solaris and Captain Justice both lost their lives to this ability from other Divers.

Like all Divers, Jericho has demonstrated exceptional resistance to all known forms of physical and energy-based damage. Xihuitlium bullets employed by Aztlan Eagle Warriors and physical attacks from other Divers have been the only instances verified where the subject has been hurt. It's important to note that DMC asset Solaris was able to kill a different Diver using her coronal whip, although it is similarly important to note that Jericho has shown to be more durable than the other members of his species Earth has encountered so far.

Subject has demonstrated superior auditory, visual, and sensory perception across multiple spectra. During [REDACTED], Jericho overheard [REDACTED] and went to [REDACTED], causing [DATA EXPUNGED] and costing the American government [REDACTED] to repair.

Jericho is a member of the Divers, a species from a parallel dimension. He made his first appearance in 1945, emerging from a portal in the sky above California.

Since his appearance, Jericho has been at the center of several major incidents, often engaging in battles with other Divers. He has single-handedly defended Earth from various threats, most notably from his own kind. However, his methods and disregard for collateral damage have been a point of contention.

Jericho exhibits a dispassionate and calculated demeanor. He has shown an unwavering focus on his missions, often at the cost of significant collateral damage. This includes the death of astronaut Neil Armstrong during the moon landing. Jericho's motivations remain enigmatic, but it is clear he perceives the Divers as a threat to this dimension.

Jericho does not have a conventional criminal record, but his actions have resulted in significant loss of life and property. He operates outside any established legal framework and has proven resistant to DMC jurisdiction.

Jericho is not bound by any DMC regulations given his interdimensional status and unparalleled power. Attempts to engage or control him have been largely unsuccessful.

Maximum - Jericho's unprecedented power and the potential for immense collateral damage make him an existential threat. While he has defended Earth from several threats, his methods and disregard for human life are highly concerning.

Given Jericho's power and unpredictable nature, direct confrontation is deemed inadvisable. The DMC's current strategy is focused on surveillance, intelligence gathering, and maintaining open channels of communication. A specialized task force monitors his activities. Collaborative efforts with global powers and other metahuman entities are ongoing, seeking potential alliances or strategies for managing or mitigating the threat Jericho presents.
