Biography
Jesse Hawke was the son of Al Hawke who was a notorious mob boss though Jesse himself was unaware of this fact. Thus, he lived a good life whilst growing up and as he matured he began to use his father's car to drive. When he reached sixteen, he was pulled over by the police who searched the vehicle where they discovered blood in the trunk. They were about to arrest him until they read his name whereupon the two cops decided to leave the scene. Upon learning of his father's past, Jesse abandoned decided to leave this criminal life behind and instead adopt a life that involved seeking for justice. He would also leave behind his last name and instead became known as Jesse Reese.
Reese investigated the death of Crowley, the circumstances of which he deemed suspicious. Following a trail, he found his way to the home of another businessman, who was also dead. He caught a female vigilante there, believing her to have committed the murder. He handcuffed her to a statue while he searched the place, but she got herself free, fleeing the scene. Later, Reese found Larry Ketterly just outside the precinct, in a coma; not knowing what to do, he took the unresponsive man to Harleen Quinzel, a doctor at Arkham Asylum, who promised that she would care for the patient. Reese assisted Jack Barnstone and Grace Tanner in arresting Silas "Slick" Waters, after his attempt to hijack an armored truck. Slick attempted to bribe the officers, but Reese shut him down. Shortly following, after the death of Barnstone, Reese attended the crime scene, deeming it suspicious that he'd seemingly drowned despite no water present either in the body or anywhere surrounding. He made use of the precinct's pool, where, after a couple of laps, he ran into the female vigilante he'd previously caught. She told him of the danger he was in, as Slick had been going after his arresting officers. They were suddenly attacked by Slick, who could transform into a liquefied state. Fending him off, they peered back into the pool to see if they could see him, but not wanting to take the risk, retreated to the sauna, where Waters couldn't follow. While waiting him out, they were forced to take their shirts off as they got hotter.
