One-Half of Firestorm[edit | hide]
In 2015, Jefferson Jackson took over the deceased Ronnie Raymond as one-half of Firestorm. Jackson then worked alongside Martin Stein to further control their powers and become a vigilante.[14]
Recruited by Rip Hunter[edit | hide]
Later that year, Jackson, alongside Martin Stein, Sara Lance, Mick Rory, Ray Palmer, Kendra Saunders, Carter Hall and Leonard Snart were recruited by Rip Hunter. They were then the founding members of the team known as the Legends of Tomorrow and defended the timeline.[15][16][17]

After the first night on the Waverider, the Legends soon argued about only having one bathroom on the vehicle with Hall spreading his wings at Jackson, who was enraged and attacked Hall. After Snart misfired a blast from his Cold Gun at Lance, the team began fighting each other violently. The fight was eventually broken up by Rip Hunter.[14]
As a Legend[edit | hide]
During their war against Vandal Savage, Jackson was once sent into the Temporal Zone to counteract his accelerated aging and later returned to the team, defeating Savage once and for all.[14]
In late 2017, Stein was excited about his grandson and asked Gideon to fabricate an unitard. He then sang Good Morning on his way to the bridge and confused Jackson, who refused to accompany him.[14]
Eventually, with Stein killed in action during the Nazi Invasion, Jackson decided to leave the Legends of Tomorrow and retired from vigilantism. However, Jackson briefly returned and assisted the Legends' final battle against Mallus.[14]
