President Lyndon Jackson

Lyndon Jackson was an American southern Republican politician and lawyer. He was elected the 45th President of the United States in 2017, defeating is Democrat rival Hillary Clinton and succeeding the office from President Barrack Obama. President Lyndon Jackson was charismatic, described as economically moderate, and held strong views against superpowers, actively working to enforce harsh measures on former superpowered villains, at times side stepping the human rights in the Geneva Convention and the US Constitution to do so. Infamously, President Lyndon Jackson was assassinated in 2018 by former superhero Faust Geiger.

State V Mann Assassination

President Lyndon Jackson chose to help lead the prosecution in the State versus Mann federal trial. Irwin Mann faced charges for reckless cause of mass death and property damage of the Little Ceasar's Hotel tower in 2016, having been awaiting trial until 2018. With his co-counsel Asha Widukind President Jackson had only been involved in the court for a short time before Irwin Mann conspired with Faust Geiger to assassinate the president.

During a seemingly day in court Faust Geiger was called as a witness by Irwin Mann, who had chosen to represent himself. Risen to testify, Faust instead revealed a razorblade from his hair and assaulted President Jackson. He was cut deeply through the neck and would die at the scene a short time later in the hands of Jack Watt, a close friend and supporter.

Legacy

President Lyndon Jackson will be remembered as one of a small cohort of American presidents to have been assassinated in office. This feature of his legacy served as a catalyst for the oppression of former-powered individuals and a mass turn away from the archetypal superhero in popular culture in the United States and some other countries. The imagery of Lyndon Jackson was adopted by Jack Watt, the Timeline in the creation of his Lyndon Jackson Memorial Suit. This mobilisation of Lyndon Jackson as a symbol for justice could be construed as a martyr in the battle against supers by the common folk, non-powered people.

President Lyndon Jackson was succeeded by his brother and Vice President Mike Jackson. Mike Jackson would go on the win the 2020 election and perpetuate the locking up of various former villains and undesirables from the power community, to be put to work in labour camps. This legacy would only be halted with the unlikely election of progressive Democrat Logan Huges in 2024.
