Son of a wealthy Californian businessman
and his immigrant Mexican groundskeeper, Jerry is consumed by feelings of
inadequacy and feels that he didn't try hard enough to go to college, keep the
Beach Patrol going or make his father proud before his death. He now runs a small landscaping business in
Beverly Hills and surfs a lot. His
powers manifested in his teen years while he was surfing straight into a rocky
cliff. He panicked and lost
consciousness for a few seconds and when he came to he and his board were
underground and he could dimly see that he was headed forward through the rock
of the cliff. He then erupted forth
from the soil at the top of the cliff into the air and slowed drastically, but
continued surfing into the air! After
finally landing he noticed that he had badly mangled the ground near where he
had emerged, it looked like cooling lava he had seen on a surf trip to Hawaii. He practiced and eventually learned that he
could turn intangible and surf through matter.
Keri told him that he was probably robbing substances he passed through
of interatomic energies and using them to propel himself, explaining why he
moved quickly in contact with solid matter, less quickly in contact with fluids
and slower still when only in contact with air. He later found that he could travel out of the atmosphere into
space, but could only travel very slowly there and couldn't stay for long. Things he passed through could be
aggressively heated up, causing unconsciousness or fiery harm to living things
and fire damage to most other matter.
He still visits his mother in the big house from time to time and she is
quite proud of him, but he seeks more than anything the approval of his dead
father. His somber attitude still
doesn't stop him from putting on a good show and he has a reputation for
flirtatious and daring behavior. While
he can surf though any number of obstacles he can only "splash" one
thing per turn.
