Sometimes, you start off trying to be the hero of the story, and end up falling from grace. Other times you end up one of the most feared supervillains on the planet, tangled up with mobsters, criminals, aliens, and the occaisional damsel in distress, all after trying to make a few bucks.  Jason wasn't all that bright to start out with, but he knew about how his story would end. The events that led to a chunk of a depleted uranium shell embedded in his forehead were the predictable result of a soldier that led a long career of mediocrity and foolish mistakes; any one of which should have led to a long stay in a hospital and a medical discharge. Somehow, gaining the ability to predict the future only made things even more unpredictable.
