Jono's mutant power consists of emitting high intensity bio-rays, but when he left the latent state, the energy inside his body burst its way out, blasting part of his chest and face. This has given him a strange look: he is now permanently surrounded with rays emanating from his body. The remainder of his face is scarred. He was feeling pretty out of place when he received communication from Xavier to join the Massachusetts Academy of Ms. Frost, where Generation X's headquarters is established. At the very moment he arrived to the airport, he was attacked by Emplate, who feeds on mutants. He managed to free himself using his powerful energy and joined the team, but Emplate ran free. Probably due to his immense power, many people are after Chamber. Even Jono's former girlfriend , after losing his walking capability in an accident, has allied with Emplate and tried to destroy him. Now he's got a sort of struggled relationship with Husk.
