Captain Wondrous

James "Jimmy" Jackson, AKA Captain Wondrous, is an open source character created by Salva GN and Jack Lawton. Appearing first on PDS Facebook, a variant has since been introduced to the Landmark Universe, where he is closely associated with both The Miracles and The Chamberlain Knights.

Origin
Teenager Jimmy Jackson is on the run from thugs when he finds himself in a strange place inhabited by an elderly African wizard. The young boy receives amazing powers from the magician to bring peace to the world, starting with his neighborhood. If he says the magic word 'OBESOYO', young Jimmy becomes Captain Wondrous, a powerful hero in the body of an adult.

He is transformed by the Seven African Powers:


 * Ogun - the Ironsmith
 * Shango - King of Thunder
 * Obatala - Father Sky/the creator
 * Yemoja - Mother Water
 * Elegua - Fate / Luck
 * Babalu-Aye - the Healer
 * Oshun - the Queen (love, beauty, diplomacy)

Powers
Jimmy Jackson seems like a normal teenager, without any special traits except the ability to transform into an adult superhero if he says the magic word.

Captain Wondrous has the magic granted by the Seven African Powers. The maximum range of his magic is unknown, but here are some examples of the feats he can accomplish:


 * He can bend and shape the iron to his will.
 * He can cast lightning bolts from his hands.
 * He can fly as fast as a peregrine falcon (fastest bird on earth).
 * He can control the weather and make it rain.
 * He can instinctively find the way out of a maze.
 * He can heal himself or others just with a touch.
 * He can calm wild animals and frightened people.
