Notes:

Jack of Hearts' Zero Energy is apparently the same force that empowers the Ultimate Nullifier invented by the Watchers.

Jack learned of his alien heritage in Jack of Hearts #2. It was discovered the Zero Fluid was specifically designed for him in Avengers (3rd series) #62. Instead of being a new "super-fuel", his father's creation was actually intended to stabilize the unstable mixtures of Jack's human and Contraxian DNA.

Jack is a self-sustaining quasi-energy being, meaning death and life aren't quite so absolute for him. He seemingly died in Avengers (3rd series) #76, only to return in Avengers #500, Marvel Zombies Supreme #1-5, and She-Hulk (4th series) #1.
