Superheroes are often identified with a super cool costume, or maybe their ability to inspire hope in people, but some have a completely different portfolio altogether. They operate out of trauma, rage, and oftentimes, extreme violence. While the most fitting hero in that description would be The Punisher, there is one who is often overlooked by a lot of people: Jessica Jones.
Marvel has given Jessica her own live-action show, but she has been off-screen for a while. However, if you are one of the few who are her fans, you’re eating well in 2026, considering Jessica Jones is returning in Daredevil Born Again Season 2, and here, we are going to talk all about Jessica Jones in Marvel comics and what her role could be in Daredevil Born Again Season 2.
What Is the Origin of Jessica Jones in Marvel Comics?
Jessica was not always a “Jones”. She was born into the Campbell family and, since her childhood, has been a reserved and shy kid. Jessica did not naturally have powers, but an incident turned her superhuman. She and her family were out on a roadtrip but sadly, her family’s car crashed into a military truck because of which, a canister of an experimental chemical flew through the windshield and landed in Jessica’s lap, exposing her to it.
In the accident, her father, mom, and brother passed away, and she went into a deep coma. When she woke up, she was sent to Moore House for Wayward Children, but was soon taken in by the Jones, a family from Jessica’s neighborhood.
Mrs. Jones had lost her parents at a young age as well, so she understood her pain and gave her a new, loving family. Soon, she returned to her school, but one day, due to an incident, she discovered that she had gained superhuman abilities. After discovering her powers, she decided to use them for good while staying under the radar and started taking down small-time criminals and local gangs, briefly turning herself into a hero named Jewel.
What Are Jessica Jones’ Powers in Marvel?
The list of Jessica Jones’ powers is very limited. In Marvel comics, Jessica Jones has powers like superhuman strength, durability, and flight. However, she rarely uses her ability to fly and never really puts in the effort to master it, simply to make sure she does not draw too much attention. What makes her lethal is the combination of her superstrength and insane combat skills; moreover, Jessica is insanely street smart, which has often proved to be her greatest power in most cases.
What Is Jessica Jones’ Role in Daredevil Born Again Season 2?
As of now, the details of her role in Daredevil Born Again Season 2 are very scarce, but since we have seen her work with Daredevil before in the Defenders Saga, the dynamic we will see them share is pretty familiar to us. As of now, we can speculate that Jessica Jones will act as a constant partner for Daredevil to fight back against Kingpin’s tyranny.
Since she is a private investigator, we can assume that Matt will need her help to gather enough evidence against Kingpin to turn the city against him. However, to know the exact details, we will have to wait till Daredevil Born Again Season 2 is live on Disney+, and till then, if we come across more details, we will update this page accordingly.
So, with this piece, I’m certain that you have everything you need to know about Jessica Jones, which will save you some time you would have spent rewatching the show.
