The 12 biggest questions we have after season 1 of Netflix's 'Jupiter's Legacy'

- Warning: There are major spoilers ahead for season one of Netflix's "Jupiter's Legacy."
- The show is based on a comic book series of the same name and season one consists of eight episodes.
- Insider rounded up the burning questions you may have after watching.
How did Fitz end up in a wheelchair?
Flashbacks featured throughout season one showed how Sheldon Sampson (Josh Duhamel) assembled a group of six total people to travel with him to a mysterious island that he saw in visions. Among the six people were Fitz (Mike Wade), who worked at the mill owned by Chester Sampson with his father named Willie.
Scenes from the present-day showed that Fitz is now retired and in a wheelchair while his daughter, Petra (Tenika Davis ), has taken on the mantle of The Flare II.
It's likely that Fitz may have been injured while on a mission, but it's never addressed on season one. It was alluded to during a conversation between Fitz and Petra, when he said he was worried she'd get hurt "bad" like he did in the field.
Who is Petra's mom and what happened to her?
Petra and her dad seem close, and at one point when she expresses fears about continuing to be a superhero, he tells her that he never asked his daughter to follow him into "this game."
"Hell, I'm surprised you wanted to, after all the foolish s--- I got up to when you were little," Fitz said, adding that he's proud of her for "being better than me in so many ways."
That conversation gave some insight into the family's dynamic, but there was no mention of Petra's mother.
Will Chloe continue to struggle with her addictions?
Chloe (Elena Kampouris) was hospitalized on episode five after getting high off a bag of drugs she took from Hutch's crew, which culminated in her falling backward onto her glass table and overdosing.
Earlier episodes also showed Chloe getting drunk, doing cocaine, behaving badly at a photo shoot, and getting dropped by as a spokesperson from the last endorsement she had left.
Who is Hutch's mom?
On episode five, Hutch (Ian Quinlan) told Sheldon that he hadn't seen his dad, George Hutchence/Skyfox (Matt Lanter), since he was 12. Hutch also said that his dad left when he was a child.
After Sheldon explained that George was like family and he never expected him to turn on the Union, Hutch said that according to his own mom, Sheldon and the others were the ones who betrayed George.
Aside from that small mention, we don't learn more about Hutch's mom.
Why did Jack Hobbs spend 20 years trying to kill Sheldon?
Episode five featured a plot twist regarding Jack (Nigel Bennett), who acted as a therapist to Sheldon.
In their discussions, Jack took notes as Sheldon unpacked his problems with his family, struggles with the gray areas of morality, and why The Code is so important to him. At the end of their session, Sheldon said that he sometimes feels like Jack is the only one he can talk to who fully understands him.
"Isn't it interesting that the one person you come to for advice is the man who tried to kill you for 20 years?" Jack said, as the camera panned to a framed newspaper clipping on the wall, which read, "Criminal genius Jack Hobbs locked up in Supermax."
According to the New York Times article, which was printed in the '90s, Jack was facing a life sentence.
The final scene of the episode confirmed that Jack was in fact being kept at the Supermax, in a cell decorated to look comfortable with bookshelves and filing cabinets — but heavily guarded by an armed security member standing right outside his door.
In the episodes that followed, there were no other mentions of Jack or an explanation as to why he spent two decades trying to take down Sheldon. It's also unclear why the two appear to be on good terms given their history.
Are Chloe and Hutch going to get back together?
They started secretly hooking up on episode five. But on the finale, Chloe ended things with him because, as the daughter of the greatest hero and the son of the world's greatest supervillain, they were never going to work as a couple.
Despite this, Chloe later saved Hutch in China, as he got beat up by several guards while trying to steal a power cell. With Chloe's help, he recovered the object from a locker and told her that he was planning on using it to find his dad.
It's unclear how closely the show would follow the graphic novels if renewed. But in the source material, Chloe and Hutch have a superpowered son named Jason and get married.
What did George/Skyfox do to earn the title of the greatest supervillain?
The whole season often references George's betrayal of Sheldon and The Union.
On the finale, Sheldon told Brandon that after the original group got their powers on the island, George felt like The Code held him back and he could do more for the nation without it. Their discussions went nowhere because Skyfox broke The Code anyway and then became the Union's worst enemy.
The opening of episode three also noted that people were on edge as they approached the 40th anniversary of George/Skyfox leaving the Union. But we still haven't learned what specifically George did to be considered one of the biggest threats to society.
What caused the strained relationship between Raikou and Walt?
Like her father, Raikou (Anna Akana) was also a talented ninja with telepathic abilities that were arguably superior to Walt's (Ben Daniels).
When Grace Sampson (Leslie Bibb) told Walt to contact Raikou for help, she skipped the pleasantries and instead demanded to be paid $1 million per day. Even when the mission was completed and Walt thanked her later for helping pull his mind out of the Blackstar copy's brain, she reminded him that he owed her money.
Based on their conversation during the finale, it seemed like Raikou resented her father because he wasn't around much in the years prior and didn't take responsibility.
Where did Hutch get his Power Rod from?
Flashbacks on the finale showed that Dr. Richard Conrad/Blue Bolt (David Julian Hirsch) was the only member of the original team who somehow got a Power Rod.
In the comics, George made a Power Rod for his son Hutch modeled after Blue Bolt's device, because the child said that was his favorite superhero.
On the Netflix series, it's unclear if this is the same Power Rod previously owned by Richard/Blue Bolt or if it's a duplicate. Considering that it only follows the commands of Hutch, it's possible that it's an entirely different one than the device owned by Richard.
Speaking of Richard/Blue Bolt, what happened to him?
He's the only member of the original Union who hasn't been mentioned or seen in the present day. He doesn't appear to be part of The Union anymore, but it's unclear what happened to him.
Who is Raikou's mom and what happened to her?
On the season-one finale, Walt compared Raikou to her mom, "to the point, no bulls---."
Walt also said that he likes Raikou's mother, but the daughter countered that he didn't love her, because "that would require communication, commitment. Something we never had."
That was the extent of the details regarding Raikou's mother, because Walt ended up killing Raikou after realizing that she learned of his true villainous plan to take over The Union and couldn't be trusted to stay silent.
Where is George/Skyfox hiding?
On episode five, Grace said that they "spent years looking for him and never got close."
Even Hutch can't locate him with his Power Rod, which instead takes him to a new strip club every time he attempts to find him. Blackstar, one of the villains of season one, also told Walt on episode seven that he's not working with Skyfox and doesn't know his whereabouts.
On the finale, Skyfox confronted Walt while in the brain of the Blackstar copy and said the last time the two saw each other was when the Union "beat him to a pulp" while his son watched.
Later during the episode, Hutch showed Chloe his private room filled with tech and newspaper clippings about Skyfox (included one headline that claimed he was dead).
Hutch said that he stole the power cell because someone told him that it could punch a hole through the strongest being on the planet, and he was going to use it to find his dad.
He's not the only one trying to locate George/Skyfox though, because Grace also vowed to bring him to justice.
