Personal history

Morton was born in Germany, and was alive long enough to see Germany before it became a Nazi hellscape for jewish people. Once his family saw Hitler rise to power, they immediately packed up and went to America before it was to late. Landing in New York before the war, they were dismayed to once again see Naziism with the Friends of New Germany headquartered in the city. But they would not move again, they had enough support to resist the harassment and stay put. Morton's father joined the army and and while he was gone Morton still dealt with anti-jewish sentiments that was seeded within the community. When was 20 he became tired of the problems and left to travel around Asia.

He would spend years moving around seeing different parts of Asia first settling in Tibet. Where he meditate with monks and learn how to control his chi. He would become supernaturally gifted with his use of it, using it to empower and revitalize himself. He would eventually get to Japan, where he would practice Jiu-Jitsu. He would master the martial art faster than other practitioners, before making his way back home to America. But instead of going home to New York he would go to the south. Where most of the problems in America where at the time.

He would get his name from the local media, who dubbed him the Jitsu Jew. Just like the Negro from Neptune, who he would strike a long lasting friendship with. He would fight crime for years and go on to have a family. His chi abilities slowing down his aging by half. Giving him the appearance of a man is his late 40's, he would go on to start his own Dojo simply called Jitsu. With a kippah on top of the letter j, as a nod to his past. He is responsible for training the hero Turnstyle. His dojo has a intense rivalry against the fighters from the Diamond Designer gym in Ricochet City, owned by the former villain known as Pressure. Which mirrors the rivalry that the two cities share.
