Summary
It’s a known scientific phenomenon that large outputs of radiation in short periods of time can create an aurora where one wouldn’t naturally occur. Often, after a warhead detonates, the sky is beautiful.
The night Jack died to the Omnidroid was no different.
(Alternatively: Mirage sees the most beautiful sky over Nomanisan after sending Jack to his death. She usually wouldn’t have cared—but this time she’s cursed with knowledge of Jack’s late husband, Simon, and teenage daughter, Novea.)
Inspired by @oopsyouthought's Superiority Complex, but is not related to the canon of that story. Made with their permission.

Summary
Given the trend of super hero lawsuits in Metroville, it’s of no surprise to the public when Gamma Jack gets his fair share of publicity for similar legal issues. The NSA seems to care more about protecting the super than the super himself, as he’s urged to get a lawyer, a recommendation by Rick Dicker, instead of carrying on with super work in ignorance.
OR
Gamma Jack is Simon Paladinos client — and he has no idea about the correlation between Mr. Paladino and Gazerbeam.

Summary
“Buddy?” His voice came hoarse but mocking, rolling out of him with a laugh bubbling under it. “What’s the matter? Mr. Incredible not answering your calls?”
The boy’s face on the feed flickered with something—recognition, maybe, or rage and humiliation fused together.
Jack cooed. “What’s the matter, huh? He tell you to get lost? And now here you are, playing god with a tin can and a kill list. All ‘cause Daddy Incredible wouldn’t let you tag along.”
: Gamma Jack survives the destruction of Nomanisan Island. This changes everything.

Summary
Simon J. Paladino never expected that joining the ranks of Supers would lead him into constant friction with one of the most reckless heroes of all: Gamma Jack. Where Simon, now known as Gazerbeam, is reserved, sharp-eyed, and cautious, Gamma Jack is everything loud, brash, and self-assured, the kind of man who declares himself “the best Super” without hesitation. At first, the two treat each other with indifference at best and irritation at worst.
But as missions bring them together, cracks form in their walls. Gamma Jack, who has always dismissed others as background noise, begins to notice something unsettlingly compelling about Gazerbeam—the quiet confidence, the way he studies everything, the steadiness that stands in stark contrast to Jack’s own chaos. He would never dare say it aloud, yet the fascination lingers.

Summary
Superheroes are legal again, following the incredible work of Elastigirl. For a year, things have seemed to return to normal as the Incredibles train their powers, ready to fight crime as a family.

Then, the NSA contacts the Parr family with a special mission— that would involve the resurrection of those who died on the Nomanisan Island. Bob and Helen’s greatest and closest friends. The Heroes of days gone by. The Glory Days.

Summary
How do you kill a god? You make him human.
Gamma Jack ruled the skies, unstoppable, feared, and untouchable... until the day his power couldn’t shield him from the consequences of his own actions.
Now, in the shadows of a world that hunts supers, he is forced to hide, to vanish, and to reckon with everything he once ignored. A radioactive child, a life he can’t reclaim, and the slow, grinding weight of mortality await him.
A short, dark series chronicling the days when gods fell and men hid — when Gamma Jack learned that even the strongest have to pay for their sins.
