Jux Clerc is a fictional deaf supervillain appearing in Sign Gene: The First Deaf Superheroes[1][2][3]
Fictional character biography[edit]
Jux Clerc is superhero Tom's older brother and runs the 1.8.8.0. enterprise. When he was kid, her mother Giulia Clerc, being chased by villains who wanted to have her entire family killed, decided to hide him somewhere around the ancient city of Rome and disappeared. Since then, Jux took another life path differently from Tom. [4][5]
Enterprise[edit]
Jux Clerc is the head of the International Genetic Genealogy Organization, called also 1.8.8.0. This is one of several references to Deaf history, as 1880 is the year of the Milan congress that outlawed the use of sign language in deaf education in favor of teaching oral speech. The 1.8.8.0.'s main aim is to exterminate Sign Gene mutants, signers and signing. [6]
Power and abilities[edit]
Clerc possesses no superhuman abilities, instead uses his expertise in chemical engineering.[7]
Reception[edit]
Michael Rechtshaffen of the Los Angeles Times, described the movie Sign Gene: The First Deaf Superheroes as one with a, "fresh, unique filmmaking voice" and a “fast-paced potpourri of stock footage combined with sign-language and stroboscopic action sequences performed by a deaf cast, video effects simulating grainy, scratchy film stock and that aforementioned all-enveloping sound mix, with an end result that proves as wildly inventive as it is empowering."[8]
