John Constantine (Earth-Prime)

"I'm John Constantine, and I am devious to the core."

- John Constantine

John Constantine is an occult detective, exorcist and a member of the Legends of Tomorrow.

Early Life
John Constantine was born in 1982 to Tommy Constantine and Mary Anne in Liverpool, with his mother dying giving birth to him.

"You know where I'm from, being normal is being crushed by the boot of capitalism and then blaming it on anyone with brown skin. It's being told that only degenerates can fancy men and women. It's your old man coming home drunk every night and beating you to a pulp because that's what his old man done to him, but magic, Spooner, the ability to break the rules, to stick it to the rich and the powerful, that's who I am. And I'm nothing without it."

- John Constantine to Spooner

During his childhood, John was physically tortured by his father when the latter returned home drunk. John then grew up being told that only degenerates can fancy men and women, with normalcy being crushed by the "boot" of capitalism and blaming the result on brown-skinned people.

Master of the Dark Arts
Later, John started a band known as the Mucous Membrane and performed with his girlfriend, Natalie Logue. The duo and a series of individuals then founded the Newcastle Crew, a group of magic users. However, John chose the occult over his relationship with Natalie and she left him.

Throughout his exploration in the occult world, John met Papa Midnite, Chase Chandler and Nommo, acquainting them and eventually trusting them with a series of mystical artifacts. He also learnt of the existence of Damien Darhk.

At some point, John met a man named Old Man Joe and exorcised his 1975 fiat which was possessed by a Demon.

Years later, he "botched" an exorcism and that lead to Astra Logue being damned to Hell. This later became John's first sin in his entire life.

In 2015, Constantine resurrected Sara Lance and rescued her from Purgatory. This established a link between their souls and allows John to locate the latter.

Joining the Legends
In 2017, John started encountering the Legends of Tomorrow and briefly worked alongside them. The Legends then defeated Mallus with indirect assistance from Constantine.

A year later, John started encountering magical creatures set loose on Earth. He then reluctantly joined the Legends and travelled across time, hunting those so-called Magical Fugitives. Among them was Charlie, a Shape-Shifter hiding her identity as a Fate. John then removed her shape-shifting capabilities and acquainted her, working alongside her on the team as magic consultants.

However, unbeknownst to Constantine, Neron was among those fugitives and began to plot his plan to rule over Earth. John then fought against him with the Legends and created Heyworld, a theme park with magical fugitives as its feature. John created a glamour of himself as Nate Heywood as Neron kills the true version of the latter, breaking his promise and expelling himself out of Ray Palmer's body. John then took the opportunity and destroyed his true form, ending their feud once and for all. Following the battle of Heyworld, Gary Green used his final wish from Fairy Godmother to become Constantine's apprentice.

Meet the Legends
In January 2020, John and Gary were filmed by the crew of Meet the Legends in NYC, a documentary crew assigned to make the Legends' operations more transparent in order to gain the senate's fundings. Gary then introduced John's role on the team and his "reform" since last year. John stepped in the frame moments later and ordered Gary to follow him.

John and Gary then arrived at a building where they were called to exorcise a Demon out of a little boy. He then found out that the Demon was his old friend, Masher and brought him to a bar, only to get kicked out due to the little boy's age. They then talked to each other outside of the bar and discovered Astra's plan. John sent Mashed back to Hell as he ordered Gary to send the boy home. The master and the apprentice later contacted the Legends, warning them of the upcoming threats of resurrected souls, not knowing that they have been fighting one recently.

During the documentary's premiere event, John found the Waverider in NYC and boarded it. John quickly went to the galley and found the remains of Rasputin, ingesting most of it and performed a spell in order to travel to Hell for Astra.

Now in Hell, John went to Brimstone and found Astra. However, Astra summoned Masher and tortured him before teleporting him away. John faced her with the souls she has sent back to Earth with her replying that those souls has been bringing her more souls, placing her with more power in Hell. John was frustrated and returned to the Waverider, telling the team about Astra's plan.

Moore and Jeanie
John, Ray and Sara later found themselves to be in 1947 Los Angeles investigating the return of the supposedly deceased Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel. The trio then discovered a pile of ashes of a private investigator. Meanwhile, a woman entered and surprised the team, causing John to use the identity of the deceased's partner. The team later went to Bugsy's club and worked alongside Jeanie in order to defeat an Encore.

Later, John stood up to Jeanie as she started to have a close contact with Bugsy. She revealed that the reason why she wanted their protection is that Bugsy has a series of extortion photos of individuals in the city. While they attempted to leave, they discovered that Bugsy has been using a firearm charged with Hellfire. Back at the private investigator office, John found a clue on the matchbook on the table, revealing the location of the extortion photos. John and Jeanie then kissed each other and made out in the office.

Soon, the two went to a cemetery and found the photos. Unfortunately, John was betrayed and Jeanie decided to use the photos for her own power. Jeanie held the mystic firearm against John as she left in her car. While John left, Ray caught his attention and warned about Jeanie's car being sabotaged. John sprinted across the cemetery, only to see Jeanie being killed in an explosion. Furious and disappointed, John left the cemetery with Ray and returned to the Waverider.

"I came all the way down here to tell you that I'm not giving up on you. And even if it takes me 'till the end of my days, I promise you that I will find a way."

- John Constantine to Astra Logue

John soon found Bugsy in the lab, bringing him to a series of runes, asking Rory to complete his spell with his Heat Gun. John brought Bugsy back to Hell, killing a series of Demons on the way to Astra. John informed that he never and will not abandoned Astra, executing Bugsy in front of her and emphasizing his point. Constantine opened a portal and informed the Legends that the weapon is gone while Astra remains.

Haunting Past
Days later, John returned to his manor and greeted a backward-walking Gary Green. John reversed the latter's unsuccessful spell and restored his normalcy. They then entered the building, only to find a group of people with an imposter among them. John ordered the group to leave and realized it was Charlie who was taking his appearance. John was troubled by Charlie's presence and told her about his past with the Newcastle Crew, revealing that Natalie Logue's haunting spirit has been residing his manor since her death. Charlie motivated John as he entered the room of the spirit, facing the past he tried so hard to forget.

While John was facing Natalie, Charlie and Gary decided to spare John of the screams they were hearing. Gary performed a spell and partially opened the door, removing the doorknob and freeing Natalie in the process. Surprised and angered by their actions, John questioned what Gary had done. Later, Natalie conjured a series of fond memories of the couple and questioned John's decision to pick the occult over their relationship. John emphasized that it was the right choice after Natalie revealed that her unsuccessful resurrection was the cause of the chaos at the moment. Natalie then possessed the body of Charlie, informing John of the Loom of Fate. However, before John could question Charlie of the loom's location, Astra speeds up his using his Soul Token, moving his death by lung cancer 10 years earlier. John then collapsed on the ground and surprised both Gary and Charlie.

"I just want you know that even though you gave up on her, your mum never gave up on you."

- John to Astra

John was then taken to the Waverider as the Legends brought him to the medical bay. Gideon ran a diagnostic test on John and revealed that his lung cancer was terminal. John took out a cigarette, attempting to smoke as there will be no consequences, only to be prevented by Ava Sharpe. Desperate and in a hurry, John made a deal with the Archangel Gabriel, with the latter refusing it. John eventually poisoned himself to die of his own terms, with a testament and warnings given to Gary in order to prevent further chaos in the occult world. Sent to Purgatory, John faces Astra and promised to search for the Loom of Fate in order to resurrect Natalie. Astra hesitated and chose to give 10 years of John's life back in exchange for her mother. John was then brought back to life and found his friends by his side.

Recovered from his cancer, John questioned Charlie multiple times about the whereabouts of the Loom of Fate. Charlie refused and John approached "Nate", who was disguised by Charlie and misguided John to the North Pole. John returned with no result and found the real Nate. John was then furious about Charlie's lies and deception. He returned to his manor and found Damien Darhk. Both were surprised to meet each other for the first time and fought, with their battle being paused when Nora told her father that John was her fiancé, going with the former's story and pretended to be her loved one. The "family" soon sat together and had dinner with Sara and Ava. However, John revealed the truth when he was unable to watch the arguments between them continue. Furious, Damien attempted to kill the Legends before Pippa arrived and sent all of them to Mr. Parker's Cul De Sac. John would then talk to Charlie and convince her to help him gather the loom. The Legends were released back to the real world after learning their lessons, eventually witnessing the marriage of Ray and Nora.
