Background / History

Li Jie retains knowledge of DC characters from comics and television watched before transmigrating. That knowledge is incomplete: he recognizes figures such as Otis Flanagan and Superman, but remembers only fragments of the Fish Mooney vault storyline. His current body also has a previous owner whose police notebook contains cases he must follow up himself 10 22 24 206.

He begins the documented events as a Gotham patrol officer partnered with Wilson. Changing the destinies of people he recognizes earns him system points, giving him a practical incentive to intervene before they follow their expected paths 4 12. His early response to a prison-transport ambush establishes both his willingness to act and his vulnerability: he fights despite fear, then unsuccessfully attempts to save a dying officer 4 5.

His responsibilities expand from patrol work to supervising recruits, managing investigations, securing funding, and directing an increasingly fortified precinct. Recognition does not entirely reassure him; after becoming a sergeant, he notices himself copying Chief Bob’s posture and speech and worries about what he is becoming 24 43 151.

Career and Appointments

Position / Recognition	Chapter	Details
Patrol officer	4	Works regular patrols with Wilson.
Independent-team authority agreed in principle	13 18	Bargains for promotion, a small independent team, and separate equipment requisitions; later asks Bob to handle recruitment paperwork.
Sergeant; Medal of Valor	43	Promoted at a ceremony where Bob stands in for his absent family.
East End sheriff	137	Explicitly identifies himself as the department’s sheriff.
Special Major Crimes Investigation Unit commander	244	Receives formal authority over a unit reporting directly to the chief.
Police lieutenant; assistant to the chief	394	Transfers to Central Headquarters and introduces himself in his new position.

Appearance

• Increasingly muscular physique: Regular system-mandated exercise changes his build enough for Wilson to notice that he has become bigger 43.
• Police uniform and badge: Wears a three-striped sergeant insignia after his promotion and receives a cross-shaped Medal of Valor 43.
• Temporary mobility aids: Uses a wheelchair and later a cane or crutch while recovering from self-inflicted gunshot wounds sustained during the Zod battle 352 362 363.
• Shaved head: Appears freshly bald during the Tower of Babel events. Wilson connects it to an earlier incident in which playing cards sliced off his hair 437.

Personality

Li Jie is irreverent, blunt, and intensely conscious of money. He demands compensation for dangerous assignments, negotiates reimbursement down to ammunition and repairs, and treats elite gatherings as opportunities for food rather than social prestige. His humor frequently involves profanity, sarcasm, and deliberately inappropriate comparisons 8 12 110.

His concern for others usually takes a concrete form: feeding Waylon, finding him a route out of an abusive home, removing Harper and Cullen Row from immediate danger, and helping Otis challenge a wrongful conviction. He also rejects the temptation to exploit Nygma and Otis merely for additional fate points 9 22 24 73.

His protective instincts coexist with serious abuses of authority. He uses threats, fabricated narratives, and extralegal violence; during the Eternal Brotherhood investigation, he works with Wilson despite planted evidence and a beaten captive. His anti-Owls strategy goes further, proposing unproven accusations and staged escape deaths to undermine the Court’s reputation 36 146 400.

Li Jie generally prioritizes stability over abstract purity or revenge. He refuses Cobblepot’s request to eliminate Sofia Falcone because doing so could trigger a gang war, yet accepts dubious arms arrangements when he believes officers need them to survive. This makes him a useful ally and a recurring source of moral conflict for Gordon and Batman 160 177 255.

He is not unaffected by violence. His first failed rescue leaves him fixated on washing blood from his hands, and the prospect of another mass attack produces an imagined massacre in the precinct lobby. Later, he risks near-fatal injuries to help defeat Zod, only to discover that he misunderstood how safely his ability could have been activated 5 73 339.

Abilities & Skills

Fate-Altering System

• Point rewards: Receives skill points for changing individual destinies, including those of Waylon Jones, Otis Flanagan, Edward Nygma, Winslow Schott, Harleen Quinzel, and Jack Napier 12 46 107 156 250.
• Fate interpretation: Reasons that changing the timing of an event is a minor alteration, while changing its direction would be more substantial 22.
• Skill cards: Uses the Revolver card for firearm skills, the Meteorite card for unusual supernatural abilities, and the Little Man card for physical and other personal abilities 73 156 240.
• Training requirements: Point investment raises his potential, but advancement still requires substantial practice. Shooting credit depends on carefully aimed hits within a firearm’s effective range 9 172.
• Unreliable trial version: Random draws can produce restrictive or poorly suited abilities. The system also warns that changing Jack Napier’s fate does not mean he can change “Clown’s” fate 73 140.
• Respec option: Prodigal Returns refunds points from deleted skills, allowing new draws every 36 hours 240.

Firearms and Quick Draw

• American Iai: Grants mastery of almost all firearms, including trick shots and a chance of extraordinary shots 172.
• Lightning Fast and Unerring Aim: Combines extreme draw speed with compensating accuracy bonuses; the speed skill itself imposes an accuracy penalty 172.
• Dead Center of the Brow: Guarantees a shot against a locked target once every ten days 250.
• Combat applications: Uses rifles, shotguns, pistols, and an anti-materiel rifle against armed gangs and unusually durable opponents 15 16 80.
• Limits: Firearms are not universally effective. His rifle shot against the electrical attacker at Blackgate is slowed and deflected by an apparent protective field 64.

All-Around Expert

• Scope: Covers most melee weapons and hand-to-hand techniques 12 107.
• Physical benefits: Improves reactions, balance, and vigilance 107.
• Controlled restraint: Subdues Cobblepot’s intimidating bodyguard through a painful finger restraint; later strikes a nerve cluster to escape Gordon’s fear-induced chokehold 17 143.
• Further advancement: Requires extensive practice across punches, kicks, stance work, movement, slashes, and thrusts 240.

Physical Conditioning and Qi

• Strong and Sturdy: Strengthens muscles and bones, improving speed, jumping, and tolerance for punishment. Its level-two condition is later described as a “body of brick and stone” 240.
• Boundless Vitality: Uses focused breathing and meditation to develop qi, which he can consciously direct through his body 118.
• Recovery: Directs qi to ease wound pain and accelerate healing. His doctor records bones healing at three times the normal rate and unusually little scar tissue in regenerating soft tissue 337 339.
• Additional effects: Improves constitution, resistance to disease and infection, energy, and potentially poison expulsion 240 337.
• Limits: Accelerated healing does not eliminate rehabilitation. He still struggles to stand without a cane and only later regains slow, normal walking 362 373.

Higher-Dimensional Protections

Trait	Documented Effect
Higher-Dimensional Creation	The system states that conceptual, causal, soul-based, reality-warping, and memory-altering abilities have no effect on him, nor does the world’s will 240.
Coordinate Anchor	His continued existence prevents the world from being merged or rebooted 240.
Eternal Nature of All Things	Describes him as both a variable and a constant, with worldlines occurring randomly around him 240.

• Demonstrated soul resistance: Raven’s corruption magic drawn from Trigon and her shadow-bird attack are nullified after entering his body 118.
• Not general invulnerability: Raven’s fire burns him, while her Azarath healing magic can repair the injury 118.

• Loss of control: Li Jie remains aware but cannot direct his body during the activation 226 227.
• Possible source: Batman and Alfred identify movements resembling Guan Gong; Bruce’s comparison records a 97.8% match. The deity’s involvement remains their interpretation rather than a confirmed identification 250.
• Restriction: Has a 240-hour cooldown and cannot be upgraded 156.

Shared Misfortune

• Effect: Makes a target experience the same near-death pain as Li Jie 339.
• Recorded use: Shoots himself to incapacitate Zod, creating an opening for Superman to defeat him 339 341.
• Cost of his chosen method: Shatters bones in his left arm and injures his right femoral artery, causing severe blood loss and tissue damage 336.
• Safer activation: Harleen points out that holding his breath could have triggered the ability without gunshot wounds. The provided account does not establish a full test of that alternative 339.

Other System Skills

• Bob McGinnis — Superior, mentor, and surrogate family figure at his promotion. Their partnership mixes mutual appreciation, aggressive bargaining, fundraising, and institutional self-interest 12 18 43 149.
• James Gordon — Trusted colleague whose courage Li Jie respects, despite constant frustration with his rigid principles and unsafe self-sacrifice. Their disagreements cover criminal informants, illegal weapons, and the consequences of Li Jie’s anti-Owls campaign 5 89 143 160 402.
• Harleen Quinzel — Psychologist, professional collaborator, and romantic partner. Helps assess recruits, protects him during recovery, and identifies the unnecessary danger in his use of Shared Misfortune 136 172 339 377.

• Carmine Falcone — Crime boss with whom Li Jie negotiates to limit violence and secure police resources. Their dealings remain politically dangerous; Li Jie twice redirects or refuses personal monetary rewards 20 22 46.
• Bruce Wayne / Batman — Ally, donor, and frequent opponent over methods and consent. Li Jie protects him from Etrigan’s challenge and warns Alfred about Bane, while Bruce investigates his powers and later cuts East End funding over killings, lies, and staged scenes 226 255 316 393.
• Clark Kent / Superman — Trusted friend. Clark recognizes Li Jie’s contribution against Zod and offers advanced treatment; Jonathan and Martha Kent welcome him as Clark’s friend 312 341.
