Jesse Custer
The Reverend Jesse Custer is the fictional protagonist of the comic book series Preacher, created by writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon (with a large percentage of the original cover art painted by Glenn Fabry), and published by the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics.
He was ranked the 11th Greatest Comic Book Character by Empire. In 2011, IGN ranked Jesse Custer 34th in the Top 100 Comic Book Heroes.[citation needed]
Dominic Cooper portrayed the live action version of the character in the television series Preacher.
Jesse Custer was born on January 17, 1975 son of John Custer, a U.S. Marine from Texas, and Christina L'Angelle, a troubled runaway. The couple met in 1973 when Christina, encouraged by the Vietnam War-protesting group she was traveling with, spat in the eye of the first soldier she saw returning from overseas. Despite the assault, the two recognized a sense of displacement in each other, and a relationship formed. Quickly, John and Christina fell deeply in love and later gave birth to a son, Jesse.
Jesse Custer was born January 17,1989, son of John Custer, a U.S. Marine and preacher from Annville Texas, and Christina L'Angelle, a troubled runaway from Louisiana trying to escape Angelville and the depravity of her wicked mother. She became pregnant with Jesse. After his birth she left him with his father in Texas to protect him from her family.
During Jesse's early years, his father instilled a love of cowboys and justice in him. Their happiness was short-lived, as Christina's grandmother tortured and cut out information from his mother finally locating their whereabouts in 1998 with the intention of bringing young Jesse home. Psychotic thugs Jody and T.C. murdered John in front of Jesse.
9 yr old Jesse was taken back to the family home and introduced to his malicious, intelligent, and decrepit Grandma, who began to teach him to both love and fear God.
After that, Jesse was stuck with his new family, his only friend Billy-Bob, a one-eyed, inbred swamp-dweller. Gradually his family managed to cruelly take these from him, too. Jesse was educated largely by sadistic Jody and TC taught him mechanics, fighting, and shooting. He was frequently punished by being placed in an airtight coffin and then submerged at the bottom of a river. Jesse's sanity was held intact by the company of a spirit taking the form of cowboy legend John Wayne. Whether this spirit is a genuine manifestation of the Western hero or simply a coping mechanism spawned from his movie-watching history with his father is uncertain. In either case, there's no question that Wayne held him together.
