Origin
Born into a family of circus aerialist known as the Flying Jesses, young Giovanni Giuseppe did not want to perform due to a fear of heights.

To overcome his fear he invented a pair of air-walking shoes to support his weight on the highline.  Longing for new challenges Giovanni changed is name and turned to crime in imitation of his idol Jesse James as the Trickster.
