Bio:
Jack is the younger brother of the hero Defender (Jim Reynolds) and the son of retired hero Chief Justice (Rick Reynolds). Both brothers wished for little more than to live up to the legacy and the expectations of their hard-nosed, no mercy father, but little Jack watched his big brother fail because his heart was too soft. Despite the fact that Jim grew up to be a successful public defender and, later, a popular superhero, old Rick was never impressed by his older son’s affinity for compassion and sensitivity. So Jack followed closer in his father’s footsteps. He grew to be a massive man, and he adopted his father’s black and white view on justice and punishment. He became the hero Gavel, wielding a huge battle hammer and little patience for any criminals walking the streets of Caligo. Even now, though, at the height of his crime fighting career, Jack’s biggest weakness is the frequent disapproval of his father, who gives him much more discouragement than praise.
