Fictional character biography

Before fighting crime as Mister E, Victor Jay was a wealthy sportsman. He has no superpowers, but was athletic. Along with the other members of the group known as The Twelve, Mister E was frozen in suspended animation at the end of World War II. He and the others were discovered and awoken in the year 2008. In the J. Michael Straczynski-written series The Twelve, he finds himself rejected by his now 68-year-old son for having hidden his Jewish identity by changing his name from Victor J. Goldstein to Victor Jay in order to escape prevalent contemporaneous anti-Semitic attitudes that prevented him from climbing the social ladder.[3] Straczynski said, "Because many Jewish immigrants had to change their name and conceal their backgrounds in order to be accepted, this let me put a metaphor inside a metaphor."[4]
