"Jessica, why did you–"
―Brian Jones to Jessica Jones[src]

Brian Jones was Jessica and Phillip Jones' father. He was killed in a car accident along with his son, with his daughter and wife as the sole survivors.

Biography[]

Early Life[]

"I was ambitious. I felt stifled by him. He felt berated by me. And maybe he was. I could have been on the tenure track in the math department at the University of Michigan. But he wouldn't move. So, I stayed. And I taught junior college to a bunch of underachievers. And I hated him for that. And he hated me for making him feel inadequate."
Alisa Jones to Jessica Jones[src]

Brian Jones was born in 1954 in Akron, Ohio. A mechanic by trade, he married Alisa Jones and together with her he had two children. A daughter, Jessica Jones and a few years later a son, Phillip Jones. They all lived together in Caldwell, New Jersey.[3]

Brian and Alisa, despite what Jessica believed, began to experience issues within their marriage: Brian felt inferior compared to his far more intelligent wife and Alisa felt stifled by her husband, who wouldn't even allow her to drive a car. Their son eventually witnessed one of their fights and caused him to act out. They were well on the path to a divorce. Another time, Alisa got a job at the University of Michigan, but Brian forced her to stay as he did not want to move.[4]

Brian and his family before the accident

"You did not cause that accident. Your father did. Took his eyes off the road. He was a shitty driver."
Alisa Jones to Jessica Jones[src]

Brian, along with his wife and children, were going on a vacation. During their trip, his children, in the backseats of the car, got into an argument over a video game. Brian turned around to stop the fight. In doing so, he took his eyes off the road and the family crashed with a truck carrying a container of chemicals.

Brian's dead body

The accident killed him and his son, while his wife and daughter's bodies were retrieved by IGH, experimented on and returned to life, gaining superhuman abilities as a side effect of the genetic editing done on them.[3]

Personality[]

"I hate that it's ruined it for you because I loved it. But your father, he needed to be in charge, like his dick would fall off if he let me drive."
Alisa Jones to Jessica Jones[src]

Jones was a man whose pride was tied to his manliness. He felt inferior to his wife, who was smarter than him, and refused to allow her to drive, thinking it would threaten his masculinity. His anger about this led him and his wife to divorce.

Facilities[]

  • Jones Residence: Jones lived in a house with his wife and children. He consistently fought his wife in the house, and left with his family to go on vacation.
  • Love By The Sea: Jones and his family took a vacation to Love By The Sea, which they found out upon arrival was mostly used by prostitutes.
