Character History
The Second Coming
Jesse can be seen in his cell, continuously yelling that he is Peter Petrelli.
The Butterfly Effect
Jesse, together with 3 other villains, Knox, Flint and The German, escape The Company's Level 5 holding cell after Elle's electrical outburst. Sylar attempts to slice open Elle's head and take her ability, but Elle loses control of her powers and gives off a large burst of electricity, knocking Sylar unconscious but also causing the holding cells to malfunction, leading to the escape of the villains.
One of Us, One of Them
Future Peter can be seen releasing Present Peter from Jesse's body. He is later killed by Sylar.
Heroes Evolutions
In Heroes Interactive:One of Us, One of Them, it was revealed that Jess Murphy, a deceased character shown to have been on Chandra's list, was Jesse's father.

Evolved Human Ability
Jesse has the ability to manipulate sound. He was able to create large sound blasts using only his voice.
While being choked by Sylar, he was unable to use his ability. Sylar also apparently crushed his vocal chords, which rendered his voice, as well as his power, useless.
According to his assignment tracker profile, Jesse's control index is 65%. His data analysis shows his biological level at 20, cerebral at 40, elemental at 70, and temporal/spatial at 35.

Notes
- Jesse has many tattoos, as does Francis Capra, the actor who portrays him. Some of the Francis's tattoos were kept, such as the tattoo on his right arm that says "The Good Must Suffer". However, some tattoos were added to Francis's body, and his existing tattoos were expanded.
- According to his assignment tracker profile, Jesse is 6'1" and weighs 195 pounds. It should also be noted that the profile lists Jesse as having no scars or marks, despite his heavily tattooed body.
