Tom Jackman

Real Name: Tom Jackman

Identity/Class: Human mutate

Occupation: Scientist

Affiliations: Claire Jackman, Katherine Reimer, Miranda Calender

Enemies: Ms Utterson, Benjamin Lennox, Peter Syme

Known Relatives: Claire Jackman (wife), Eddie, Harry (sons), unidentifed father (deceased), Sofia Jackman (mother), Edward Hyde (Henry Jekyll, ancestor)

Aliases: Mr. Hyde

Base of Operations: London, UK

First Appearance: Jekyll (BBC 1, 16th June 2007)

Powers/Abilities: Hyde possesses heightened senses, sufficient to identify people by smell, and can feel his own blood moving through his veins. His strength is superhuman, sufficient to overpower and kill a grown lion, then throw its corpse several metres, but not enough to break steel chains, and his agility is above normal, allowing him to scale buildings with casual grace. He has enhanced endurance and control over his own body; he can hold poison gas in his mouth without taking it into his lungs, stop his heart and breathing for several minutes, then exhale the gas back out his mouth, all without sustaining injury. He can also suffer being shot dozens of times and continue to move and function, albeit badly injured; he also heals faster than regular humans. He can access his own and his alter ego Tom's memories with perfect clarity, as if watching a video, complete with pause and rewind functions; he can also access his ancestor Henry Jekyyl / Edward Hyde's memories in a similar fashion. His transformation between Jackman and Hyde is a genuine physical change, despite the relatively minor difference in appearances between the two personalities; as well as drawing external electrical energy to power the change, often resulting in fluctuations in nearby electrical lighting, either party can, by choice, prevent injuries they have sustained from being transmitted to the other. When angered, Hyde's blackened irises expand, and he manifests fangs.
