Suit: Designed after his father's old costume with some minor modifications , it is a navy blue stealth uniform that functions like a military ops uniform. It is a water and fire retardant costume, which is made of Kevlar, Nomex and light weight titanium. The costume also offers a medium level of resistance to electric shocks and force impacts i.e., falls from 30 meters height and The suit cannot be pierced by normal conventional sharp edged materials. It is designed to insulate and cannot be seen through infra red or heat sensors.

Shield: A concave disk about 2.5 feet in diameter, weighing 12 pounds, it was made of a unique metal called Zeronium (very strong and indestructible) -titanium that had never been duplicated. The Shield was cast by American metallurgist Dr. Micah McCallister, who was contracted by the Cage Consolidated to create an impenetrable substance to use for tanks. During his experiments, McCallister combined Zeronium with a steel alloy he was working with and an unknown catalyst, creating the disc-shaped shield. McCallister was never able to duplicate the process due to his inability to identify the still-unknown factor that played a role in it. The Zeronium made the shield had great aerodynamic properties: it is able to slice through the air with minimal wind resistance and deflection of path. It has great overall resilience, combined with its natural concentric stiffness, enabled it to rebound from objects with minimal loss of angular momentum. It is virtually indestructible: it is resistant to penetration, temperature extremes, and the entire electromagnetic spectrum of radiation. The only way it could be damaged in any way would be by tampering with its molecular bonding. Against repulsors, able to deflect them in an coordinated team attack. The shield's shape makes it a superb throwing weapon. It is also able to bounce off solid objects, such as walls and floors, when struck on its edge and can be ricocheted off of multiple surfaces. It also makes a formidable and devastating hand-held weapon. Combined with Jace's strength and combat skills, it can enable him to literally plow through any kind of opponent be either human enemy soldiers or alien ground forces. The Zeronium in the shield enables Jess to withstand great falls and devastating blows that he couldn't otherwise.

Hard Light / Energy Construct Generator(s): He almost always has these on his body, as they are built into his gauntlets. They are capable of generating preprogrammed weapons or constructs near-instantly when activated. He often uses the generators to correct small hard-light knives which are used for throwing, another commonly seen construct is that of a rounded shield. Most constructs have a shelf life of around six to seven hours, this varies depending on use and size. Their hardness tends to be relative their spawning. The closer to their spawn time, the harder they are.

The constructs can be dissolved on command (and physical contact) with the gauntlets. When fully charged, they are capable of generating a near infinite amount of small constructs (small knives, daggers, etc.) when the energy from projected constructs is reconstituted. The more complex a construct, the more energy used (as while they look like holograms, the photonic structure is quite complex; often mimicking the actual atomic makeup as closely as possible.) Due to all the working parts, and the delicate nature, the device(s) are not capable of creating firearms. They are capable of creating bolts, arrows, and basic projectile ammunition.

Enhanced Strength: Jace's physical strength is enhanced to a he is as physically strong as a superhuman. He can snap steel handcuffs and chains, and is capable of break wood walls and steel doors with a single kick.

Enhanced Speed: He can run at speeds of up to approximately 30 miles per hour (48 kilometer per hour), and has on occasion run a mile in little over a minute when under duress (which would roughly be a little less than 60 miles per hour).

Enhanced Stamina: Jace's body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-producing chemicals in his muscles, granting him exceptional endurance and lung capacity. He can exert himself at peak capacity for an hour and a half without rest and before showing any signs of fatigue.

Enhanced Human Reflexes: Jace's reflexes border on superhuman level. His reaction speed is 20 kph, which makes it possible for him to dodge gunfire even in short range from multiple gunners at the same time.

Enhanced Human Agility: His agility is greater than that of an Olympic gold medalist. He can coordinate his body with balance, flexibility, and dexterity. He also has the ability to leap 50 yards out in a single bound and 20 ft. into the air without a running start.

Enhanced Durability: The Sentinel 's bones and muscles are denser and harder than normal, to the highest human potential, which makes him very durable compared to a normal human.

Enhanced Healing: The Sentinel's healing speed and efficiency is at the highest limits of human potential, which means he can heal faster than most humans. The white blood cells (WBCs) and the SSS in his body are efficient enough to fight off any microbe, foreign body and others from his body keeping him healthy and immune to most if not all infections, diseases and disorders.

Enhanced Mental Process: His mental performance has been greatly enhanced, allowing his mind to operate in the most efficient and rapid manner possible. One manifestation of this is his tactical genius; the ability to quickly process multiple information streams (e.g., threat assessment) and rapidly respond to changing tactical situations. Jacealso possesses a near-eidetic memory, meaning that he never forgets anything and has perfect recall. This enables him to remember any military tactic and apply it to any situation.

Enhanced Senses: Jace's senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch are at the highest possible limits of human potential. He once said that he is able to dodge bullets because he sees faster than them.

Bilingual: Able to speak English and Spanish fluently.

Urban Gymnast: Picking it up rather quickly from his friends and his parents, Jace is incredibly skilled in and talented at parkour and free running (thanks in part to his peak natural speed, stamina, agility,and reflexes). He finds it very useful in moving between rooftops as well as during pursuits and chases.

Shieldmanship: His years of training and experience with his unique shield, as well as its physical properties, allow him to accomplish amazing feats with the item.

N/A

Jace's personality is merely a façade to hide his "true" personality. He acts like a bumbling, geeky intelligent person. This is to hide his secret identity, and keep his Sentinel and Jace Cage identities separate. His civilian personality shows his intelligence slightly, bumbling and geeky. As well as this, he acts sensitive and kind. Only some of this is his true personality, and he tends to act like this when not around people he knows, trusts, or is close to. Jace's "true" personality is different to his civilian identity and personality in most ways.

While he is still kind and slightly sensitive, it is mostly hidden by the darkness, and grimness. As Sentinel, Jace's personality flows more freely, even if he is darker and slightly grimmer. He can be quite energetic, capable of boundless energy and curiosity. He is quite kind to his friends in this personality, as well as trying never to kill. But the darker side of him, the side which he calls his "Dark Passenger" wants to kill, and Jace has to fight this urge constantly. The passenger manifests itself in his personality as his capability for being ruthless and angry at times, when he has to be.

In both personalities, he has a terrible temper, which he finds hard to control at times, and he also possesses a great love for humanity, which is why he never kills. Finally, he possesses a survivor's guilt complex. If he fails to save someone, or someone he is close to dies, he will become more ruthless and angry, and prone to trying to hurt people. Jace constantly says that his Sentinel personality is his true personality. As Sentinel, he feels alive…..He feels like this is the man he is meant to be. He tries to capture this feeling for Jace Cage, but it just doesn't work. However, he knows that if he gets close to someone and doesn't have to hide his Sentinel persona, he will feel truly alive…..Not just disconnected from the world.

While Solomon and Dominique had gotten divorced, they still had feelings for each other. After five years of cat and mouse games, they finally got back together and eloped, realizing that they had always loved each other. A few months after the wedding, their first son was conceived and born. And then, four years later, was conceived and he was born only a few days after his sister turned 5. Both Solomon and Dominique had retired partially from heroics to raise their children, and they had decided that they would train their kids from the beginning. By the time that Jace was four, he was beginning to learn how to use archery. His sister had already been learning this stuff around the time her baby brother was conceived.

Compared to his older sister, Jace wasn’t as good at archery, though he was still an excellent archer. Even when he was just learning, he was excellent at archery. But Jace was a better weapon handler and martial artist. His parents would train them separately, and while his sister wasn’t as close to their parents as he was, both siblings were close to each other. They would train together, and train with their parents. Dominique trained both her kids in the skills she had learned as a spy, and Jace trained them in what he had learned when he was in the circus and during his time leading the Saints. Jace and his sister excelled at all of this.

Everything went to hell years later. By the time that Jace was fourteen and his sister was nineteen, they had become sidekicks to their fathers. Jace had become the ‘Hawkingbird’, a combination of his parent’s codenames. His sister became the Golden Archer, a codename their father had used at one point. On one night, Shot, who was the uncle of the children, attacked. He took Jace and his sister down easily, and killed Dominique. As Jace woke up, he engaged his uncle in a fight and was able to beat him with the assistance of his father. After this, Jace became a darker man, taking people down more brutally. Jace’s sister left, and she continued as the Golden Archer, but she was more brutal as well. Jace continued with school and being Hawkingbird, as well as his studies under his father.

For another six years Jace studied under his father and continued to practice what his mother had taught him. But around this time, Jace had graduated from a University three years early and had gotten a PhD in Biology. He had begun to take a more aggressive stance on crime, and one day, he found his uncle. Taking him head on, he injected with a drug but he had an antidote with him. Even though he wasn’t as groggy, he was still groggy. Loading three arrows and firing them, he killed his uncle with an arrow straight to the heart. After this offer to join the team, Jace agreed but he decided it was time to hang up the bow and arrow. Taking on one of his father’s former mantles, Sentinel, he took up the old suit of his great grandfather as well as his. He even kept his archery by bringing in a crossbow. For the last three years, he has been a Danger Squad member and he had developed excellent skills in Martial Arts, Marksmanship, Swordsmanship and other disciplines he had already been well trained in. He was surprised when Valeriya, a friend of his, joined the squad but they became good friends and teammates.
