Biography: Little is known about the man known as Jihad. He quite literally burst onto the scene in 2001, three days after the Vindicators VII disbanded. Taking advantage of a world without heroes, Jihad used his Neo-Sapien powers to send nineteen of his duplicates to hijack four commercial airline jets.

Jihad had intended to baptize America in terror and he had succeeded… but in a different way that he had expected. It was not the holy war he had envisioned but rather, he had renewed the country’s hatred for Neo-Sapiens.

Since the events of 9/11, the American government and the Department of SPB Affairs has been rabidly searching for Jihad and the rest of his terror cell. Though numerous arrests have been made, each time they think they have caught Jihad they discover it to be one of his duplicates. Just as he never himself goes into battle (opting to send a horde of his duplicates instead), it appears that he utilizes his duplicates as decoys while he sits hidden elsewhere.
