JC Denton is the codename of the protagonist of Deus Ex and a major character in its sequel, Deus Ex: Invisible War. A nanotechnological cyborg, JC was an agent of a counterterrorist organization before uncovering a vast conspiracy. JC worked against it before merging with an AI into a godlike being.
A clone of his brother, Paul, JC was born from a procedure conducted by Majestic 12, a splinter group of the Illuminati that sought world domination. Paul was among the few humans capable of being augmented with nanotechnology, and MJ12 sought to use him and JC as weapons. His life micromanaged by MJ12, JC was guided to work in counterterrorism and became an augmented agent of the United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition. Alongside Paul, JC started his work in the midst of a global pandemic.
While battling a supposed terrorist group, he discovered that Paul had defected. Paul revealed that UNATCO was a puppet for MJ12 and that the pandemic was manufactured to further MJ12's plans of world domination. Turning against his superiors, JC traveled the globe, discovering the truth, gaining allies, and putting a stop to MJ12's plans.
He arrived at Area 51 to confront MJ12's leader, Bob Page. Page's plan was to merge with an artificial intelligence known as Helios and become the ruler of the world. JC stopped Page took his place, choosing to merge with Helios into a benevolent dictator. A malfunction destroyed Area 51, wiping out global communications and beginning a new dark age. JC hibernated for decades as his allies worked to realize his plan. Ultimately, his fate was decided by the actions of Paul's second clone, Alex.

Battle vs. Neo (by JWarrior89)[]
- Location: Area 51
"I gave you life! I gave you- YAAAAAAAAHHHRRRRGGG...!!!" Bob Page cries out in anguish as the life support systems on his giant stasis pod fail, killing him. Grinning, JC Denton takes his finger off the button, a sense of relief flooding through him; that madman's plans for world domination, all the lies, secrecy, and death... it was all over. Suddenly, Morgan Everett, the leader of the Illuminati, contacts him on his neural communications augmentation. "Well done JC," Morgan says, "I knew you'd make the right choice. Dowd and I will be there soon to examine the equipment, and you and I will discuss your new place within the organization." "Sorry, Everett," JC responds, "but I'm not joining the Illuminati. I'm going to merge with Helios. I didn't go through all this effort to stop him just to have a different group take his place." "What!?" Morgan says, stunned, "JC, no! Think about the good we can do with that technology! We won't be like Bob Page; we will rule the world in secret, but with compassion!" "Sure..." JC replies, disconnecting him.
"Yes..." Helios' voice whispers in JC's neural aug, "you will now come to the main chamber. We will merge, we will lead humanity away from this... darkness." JC heads in that direction, thinking about the prospect of being merged with a worldwide AI. As he turns the corner, he stops dead; standing at the end of the hall is Neo Anderson.
Thinking Neo is one of Bob Page's henchmen, JC immediately pulls out his 10mm pistol and fires several rounds. Neo, however, who in turn mistakes JC for an Agent, slows down time and dodges the bullets. Straightening up, he draws his Desert Eagle and fires back at JC, but misses. JC turns and runs back the way he came, with Neo in hot pursuit. JC pulls out a LAM explosive, activates it, and sticks it to the wall. He then sprints down to the end of the hall just as Neo rounds the corner. As Neo passes the LAM, it explodes, sending him flying over a nearby railing and crashing to the floor below.
JC runs back over to the railing; looking down, he sees Neo struggling to his feet. JC pulls out his assault rifle and opens fire. Neo avoids the spray of bullets and manages to find cover behind a large storage container. Pulling out a couple of small bombs, he leans out and lobs them up and over JC's head, causing them to explode behind him. The explosion knocks JC over the railing himself and he falls to the floor.
Neo pulls out his lightning rifle and fires at JC before he can get up. JC rolls out of the way, however, and activates his Cloaking augmentation, disappearing from view. Startled, Neo fires two more times, but both shots fail to hit anything. Neo stands perfectly still, listening for the slightest hint of movement. Suddenly, he spins around and fires a shot behind him; the lightning strikes JC, injuring him and disabling his cloaking.
Neo prepares to fire again, but JC activates his Speed Enhancement augmentation, and rushes him. He grabs the rifle, snd the two men struggle over it. Eventually, JC manages to throw the rifle away, and he and Neo engage in hand-to-hand combat. For a while, both of them seem evenly matched; suddenly, JC throws a punch, and Neo grabs his outstretched arm and flips JC over his shoulder. JC lands flat on his back, and Neo quickly pulls out his Desert Eagle, proceeding to fire two rounds into JC's stomach.
As JC coughs up blood, Neo aims his gun at his forehead, preparing to finish him off. Suddenly, he whips his head around; there is the unmistakable sound of footsteps approaching. After a slight pause, he pulls back his gun. "You're finished anyway." he says, reloading his gun, and proceeds to run off in the direction of the noise. "No..." JC says, "not yet..." and activates his Healing augmentation. Within seconds, his gunshot wounds are completely healed. As he gets to his feet, he can hear the sounds of yelling and gunfire. It seems the Illuminati have arrived, and Neo is engaging them. Realizing he can't take on Neo, and taking advantage of this distraction, JC hurries off to merge with Helios.
WINNER: NEO
Expert's Opinion[]
While JC Denton was able to regenerate wounds, the experts believed that Neo's ability to stop bullets in their tracks, as well as his superior hand-to-hand combat skills won him the day.
