Jacob "Jake" Charles Thompson (born June, the 7th 1996), also known as Chargeshock is a Human-Galra hybrid, the leader of the Justice Avengers, the son of the police officer of New York, Derrick Thompson and the titular protagonist of Chargeshock Thompson & the Justice Avengers. Physical appearance Jake is a tall and fair-skinned teenage boy, with a jet black wolf cut with side bangs, swept on the left and cobalt blue eyes. His usual attire consists of a yellow hoodie, a couple of silver chains, blue jeans and black and white sneakers As Chargeshock, his hair gets spiky and he wears a blue suit with black accents and a lightning logo on the crest. Personality A natural leader with a magnetic presence himself, Jake is confident, popular, charismatic and daring. He is the most calm and laid back out of the bunch, which makes him the most level headed when he is in battle and in life. He is also highly intelligent, which means he is one of the top students in his class and even revealed Electro Monster's real identity as Nicholas Osborn. His high intelligence also results in him being a science whiz, as he always shown to had knowledge about the source of Electro Monster's power and the power core of Dr. Tarantula's suit. Jake is a handsome individual, as he has a lot of girls falling head over heels in love with him and it was also Tessa Márquez and Jessica Stone having 70 pictures of him each. He is also flirtatious around women, but he never takes advantage of them, since he knows a girl's heart is "not a toy". He is really aware of his appeal, but he isn't vain about it. And despite having multiple girls crushing on him, he's got eyes for one girl, and that's Sally, who he fell in love with after realising his feelings for her after she saved him from getting annihilated by Dr. Tarantula. He has a snarky tongue and a sharp wit, which can sometimes make him wisecrack and basically make jokes or sarcastic quips in battle and even in the worst possible situations. He also has a habit of taunting his opponents during battle, which he likes to call a strategy to get under their skin. As Chargeshock, he keeps three quarters of his personality and is quick to adapt and react in dangerous situations. He is resilient, strategic and takes initiative, making sure his team's identities are kept secret and even giving them indications when on missions. He uses his powers in ways no one would have imagined. He is the first to jump at the call when the city is in danger, showing his heroic and selfless side, no matter the circumstances. He also shows concern for his team, as he always puts their needs before his own and makes an honest effort to connect with them no matter how often he scolds someone for their lack of focus. He is not fond of the idea of abandoning a teammate, since one of his mottos is "Nobody should be left behind". He often acts as the mediator in arguments, often reminding his teammates that they're a team and they shouldn't let small misunderstandings ruin that. Jake has a strong sense of justice, meaning that he will always stand up against bad people and always help others when they're in need, as he made a promise to his mother that he'll always stand up to those who are cruel and unfair. Despite his usual cool headed exterior, Jake is not immune to being short tempered, impulsive and stubborn, especially when his loved ones are hurt or in danger. He can also lose track of his rational side and get easily angered by injustice, but he makes up for it for being serious when he needs to be and stepping up when it counts. He is also known to be a competent and reliable leader and the most mature out of the bunch. One of his key traits is compassion, a trait that he shows by always being there for his team and understanding them when they open up about something when they how they act. Especially when Sally opens up to him. That trait is also shown when despite the things most bad guys did, he chose to let them live instead of killing them. Jake is shown to have several hobbies throughout the series. He is a rapper, singer and songwriter (basically a musician), who makes a lot of money out of music. He is a seasoned skater, as he has a skateboard in his room and often goes out skateboarding in his free time. He enjoys playing video games and reading comics, as he's got a lot of DC video games and a stash of Green Lantern comics. He is also known for being the most fashionable of the bunch, as everyone can always see that he wears outfits that are cool and stylish at the same time, and is shown to care a lot about the way he looks, which can make him seem superficial sometimes. But despite this, he's neither snobbish nor narcissistic. Despite his easygoing exterior, in his day to day life and as Chargeshock, Jake can sometimes be a perfectionist, which is rather due to the huge responsibility he has as the leader of the Justice Avengers, his insecurities and fear of failing them, not being able to save everyone and being betrayed by one of his close ones. He is also shown to be overprotective of his team, which could have been caused by his mother abandoning him, his dad and his brothers and somehow, someone mysteriously killing his uncle back when he was 10 years old. He never knew why his mother left, but he always hoped it was for a good reason. He often acts like an older brother and a mentor to younger heroes and newbies and often gives them chances to become better as people and as heroes, as seen when as Chargeshock, he trained Mayhem Bug into becoming a better hand to hand fighter and strategist, instead of just relying on her powers. He also encourages her to not let other people's opinions influence her, but to be also open to feedback. Not only that, but he also showed her that despite having a lot of responsibility on her shoulders, she doesn't have to do anything or even carry it alone. He is also shown to be fond of his siblings, despite their differences. One of the examples that show it is when Jake grew a wolf cut mullet in the honor of his older brother, Keith after he left for the Galaxy Garrison.
