Although Jack outwardly appears as a normal human child, his intellect and mental prowess rapidly set him apart from the rest of humankind, as does the fact that his body begins to generate inoperable and incurable tumours that are slowly overwhelming him. Despite the fact that Jack possesses each of the five higher mindpowers (also known as metafaculties) at the highest known level, he is incapable of effecting change in his own physiology. An attack by Fury, the secretive villain of the series, on Jack as he lies in his hospital room, leads to an evolutionary jump in which Jack discards his physical form and metamorphoses into his final state as a disembodied brain. Jack is killed, along with his wife Dorothea MacDonald (known as "Diamond Mask" in the series), in an effort to prevent Jack's brother Marc Remillard from leading a grand rebellion against the Galactic Milieu's races. Although the attempt to halt the Rebel faction of humanity is successful, it leads to the deaths of both Jack and Dorothea. Their deaths, however, propel humanity into the state of mental cordination which the member races of the Milieu refer to as Unity. |
