History
The first mission of John Jameson as an astronaut was unsuccessful: the capsule in which he was left the orbit of the Earth due to malfunctions in the control system that caused the loss of control of the ship. The young superhero, Spider-Man , who began his exploits just two weeks ago, managed to save Jameson by replacing the necessary parts of the control module, after which the ship with the capsule was safely splashed into the ocean. Jay Jonah Jameson saw in the salvation of his son an advertising trick designed to belittle the accomplishments of the younger Jameson, and the incident caused the very first curse at Spider-Man on the pages of the Daily Bugle.
Later, John Jameson again went into space, where he was again harassed by failures - he, presumably during spacewalk, was in contact with an unknown virus. After returning to Earth, a side effect of the virus was discovered - Jameson developed an inhuman force. Jason was equipped with a special organic suit so that he did not lose his strength until NASA scientists studied the virus. When everyone believed that Spider-Man was involved in a bank robbery, Jay John Jameson persuaded his son to use his powers to promote himself on the Internet and thus become a national hero, defeating Spider-Man. Jameson agreed, but the first meeting with Spider-Man ended in victory for the latter. When the elder Jameson found out that Spider-Man was innocent, he tried to stop his son, who still continued to confront the super-hero, but the young Jameson wanted to make up for his past defeat. When they collided a second time, Spider-Man managed to neutralize the virus in Jameson's body using a prolonged exposure to electricity. When Jameson woke up, he lost his superpower.
Some time later, Jameson went on a secret mission on the moon, the reason for which is still classified information. While collecting lunar soil, he came across a sparkling red gem, very different from everything he saw there. After the successful completion of the mission, Jameson felt a strange attraction, a desire to possess a unique gem. Jameson and his colleagues made him an amulet to wear around his neck, after which John Jameson put it on himself. The image of the Wolf was engraved on the amulet. On the first night of the full moon, Jameson turned into a crazy Wolfman - an unusual mutant creature.
For several months, Jameson tried to find a way to combat the fact that he turns for three nights a month, and, finally, acquires a suit that does not allow a single radiation to wear during the moon. However, these attempts were in vain. In his native New York, on the eve of five months from the day of the first transformation, Jameson began to monitor his father, instinctively wanting to find help. Jay John Jameson did not believe when he learned that the Wolf is his son, who took the nickname "Wolf Man". Then John saw a pendant on the neck of the Wolfman and only then recognized his son in him. Trying to save the son of Jay John, Jameson soon discovered a strange thing - even getting rid of the amulet, Jameson can not stop the monthly cycle of transformations. Subsequently, Spider-Man threw the amulet into the river, however, Wolf-Man began to hunt him.
