When they went to the beach, she embarrassed Alex by staring at the birds as they did not have them on Krypton. When a car crashed close by Kara ran to the rescue saving a mother and her child. However, Alex was injured by a car door when it exploded. Jeremiah spoke with Kara telling her that Alex was fine and it was just a few stitches. After that Kara decided to hide her powers, with Jeremiah telling her that they already have a Superman and to just be herself. He gave her a pair of lead-lined glasses to help her control her visual powers.
Joining the D.E.O.
One evening Eliza went outside to the porch to get her husband Jeremiah to keep her company while she worked on her dissertation. On the roof, Kara convinced Alex to sneak out and go flying with her, despite the latter's initial protests. While holding onto Kara as she flew, Alex told her that it was amazing. Kara and Alex were caught sneaking in by Eliza and Jeremiah, and lectured about the rules.
Apparent death
While on a mission to locate J'onn J'onzz in a remote location in Peru, he realized J'onn wasn't a threat but a refugee. Jeremiah tried to stop the mission but Hank became obsessed and refused to. When Hank finally trapped J'onn, Jeremiah sacrificed his life to stop Hank. As he apparently died, J'onn made a promise to take care of Jeremiah's daughters.
Project Cadmus
His body as well as that of Henshaw was subsequently found by Project Cadmus, who kept them alive and forced him to reanimate the former director of the D.E.O. with cybernetic parts turning him into a cyborg. Jeremiah tried to escape several times but was always captured by Cadmus' guards and tortured as a punishment, until eventually surrended after they threatened to hurt his daughters and forcibly became one of their agents receiving some cybernetic enhancements as well.
Return and betrayal
The D.E.O. got an alert from one of Cadmus' suspected bases and found that they were moving a weapon in a convoy. Supergirl and Martian Manhunter went to stop them and saw that what they were transporting was really Jeremiah. Jeremiah was welcomed back to the D.E.O. with cheers and was happily reunited with his daughter Alex. He told them that Cadmus took him from the rainforest and forced him to enhance Hank Henshaw for their own ends but said that he did too good a job and kept him to enhance others as well as build for them.
Exodus
Jeremiah was classified by J'onn as a threat to the D.E.O. and was ordered to be arrested and detained on sight. At her apartment, Alex thought that her father had come to see her to get her help and explain everything but it turned out to be J'onn who was testing her. She went off on her own to find Cadmus and discovered their base of operations but was quickly found and detained by Jeremiah. He showed her a space frigate that they were using to conduct Operation Exodus.
