History: Jonathan Paul Christian was born into a Christian family and taught the values of the Holy Bible from an early age. Disillusioned after the horrific death of his friend, Elizabeth and her family by her psychopathic brother when he was 16, Jonathan became an atheist. Jonathan moved to Los Angeles for college and during those years, he began writing for a major newspaper, owned and operated by multi-billionaire Derrick Oliver III. Jonathan wrote and submitted columns that ridiculed God and those who believed in Him. When a fellow student named Linda Matthews challenged Jonathan to a debate on whether God exists, he was shocked by her presentation of evidence that proved God's existence, the bible's validity and the unconditional love of God. He found himself without any more questions. Linda answered them all. With Linda's help, Jonathan gave his heart to Christ and began attending a local church where after a few years he became a youth pastor. One night, shortly after moving to Northaven, a great metropolitan city near Chicago to help start a new church, Jonathan was approached by an angel named Ezekial. The angel gave Jonathan a choice: take hold of a staff that illuminated between them and be transformed into a warrior for God in the battle against evil or just walk away. After a moment of inner struggles and careful thought, Jonathan took hold of the staff and was transformed into Mr. Christian. Now a pastor and leader, Jonathan continues his crusade against injustice and evil.

Powers/Weapons: Mr. Christian can fire beams of light from his hands and fly at moderate speeds. He also has super-strength. His staff has unlimited uses of power but its use is dependent upon Mr. Christian's faith and trust in God.

There is this guy called "The Atheist," who is listed as an agnostic!

So does this mean The Atheist is his archenemy?
