Who Is Jack of Hearts: Origin and Powers of Avengers' Hulk-Beating Hero
A powerful Hulk-beating hero, a man in pain, an Avenger; these words all perfectly describe Jonathan “Jack” Hart aka Jack of Hearts.

Jack is filled with the power of a nuclear explosion, and while he tried to use his power for good by fighting alongside the Avengers, it eventually became too much for him to bear. While he seemingly met his end after recovering an out of control She-Hulk, Jack of Hearts is making his way back to Marvel Comics continuity to fight alongside She-Hulk once again. Before a new path is carved out for Jack of Hearts, it is important to know the history of this tragic Avenger.
Jack of Hearts made his Marvel Comics debut in 1976 in The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu#22 by Chris Claremont and Rudy Nebres in which Jack of Hearts battles it out with the White Tiger.
