First Appearance: Marvel Graphic Novel#11: Void Indigo (1984)
Powers/Abilities:
Jhagur is an experienced warrior, apparently carrying at least some of
the skills of his past incarnation Ath'Agaar.
In his time on Earth, his physical labor enhanced his physical strength, endurance, etc. His strength level is undefined, but it is at least comparable to a human athlete or peak human, if not slightly superhuman ("enhanced human").
He carries a long sword and is a
skilled and deadly swordsman. 
He can fire indigo (see comments) energy from his eyes that can incinerate flesh, leaving behind only the underlying bone.
When injured, he could generate a gray substance to cover and heal his body; this substance was highly corrosive to human flesh. However, Amanda Tower, who possessed advanced psychic powers, could contact the gray substance without harm, allowiing it coat her body, and enabling her to commune with Jhagur in the Void Indigo (see comments).
Jhagur apparently communed with the Void Indigo, which guided him to locate/gather the Dark Lords.
Unlike
(or at least much greater) than other Geburans, Jhagur possessed a
"Ninth Sight," a mystic power
Connected to Amanda Tower and Linette Cumpston, he felt pain when they were injured.
Jhagur was a highly skilled warp-drive capable starship pilot, able to
contend with a large flagship in a smaller starship.
He was experienced and successful in dangerous
maneuvers, at least until distracted psychically.
For Geburans, composure, precision, and
silence constitute the hallmarks of the art of sexual intercourse.
His belt contains a photochromatic camouflaging function, allowing him
to replicate the appearance of another humanoid whose appearance he
views/captures.
Beyond his alien accent, after
he adopted a human appearance via this function, none beyond those
already aware of his true nature recognized him as anything other than
the human he purported to be.
He also used a trilingual processor that allowed him to master an alien language its their vernacular within weeks.
He rapidly gained knowledge and appreciation of human culture via extensive reading and viewing of televised media.
At least before the final confrontation with Kaok, he consistently suffered visions and violent spasms in the hour before dawn; these resolved spontaneously at dawn.
Height: Unrevealed (approximately 6')
Weight: Unrevealed (approximately 235 lbs., assuming human
density)
Eyes: Indigo
Hair: White (only on sides of head; comparable to human male
pattern baldness); (as "Mike Jagger") dark brown or black, including
mustache
Skin: Red
Other distinguishing features:
Circular birthmark on forehead
History:
(Marvel Graphic Novel#11: Void Indigo (fb) - BTS)
- By the late 20th century (see
comments), Hyborian warrior-chieftain Ath'Agaar had been
reincarnated in the extraterrestrial Jhagur of the
planet Gebura (on the far side of the
galaxy; see comments), whose
forehead bore a curious birthmark in the precise location of the jeweled
spike that had penetrated Ath'Agaar's skull.
(Marvel Graphic Novel#11: Void Indigo (fb) - BTS) - Jhagur witnessed frantic "erogenic frenzy" (mating activity) of other worlds amongst other species, and it never failed to both fascinate and appall him.
(Marvel Graphic Novel#11: Void Indigo (fb) - BTS) - Jhagur led a space fleet fleeing a dying star and battling the drones of unidentified technological wizards; after the first exchange of fire, only two spacecraft remained intact: One imperial flagship and Jhagur's ship.
(Marvel Graphic Novel#11: Void Indigo - BTS) - Seeking to atone for past crimes, Koth -- one of the Dark Lords who had tortured Ath'Agaar and been destroyed when he shattered the Living Orb/Eye of Kaok and who had been reincarnated in the form of gold medalist pentathlete David Tepper (see comments) who had developed myasthenia gravis -- resolved to assure his permanent demise by engineering his own murder and thus bringing together the souls of Ath'Agaar and the Dark Lords for a final confrontation. Koth therefore cast his eidolon (astral self) through the Void Indigo (astral realm) to where Jhagur's ship opposed the technological wizards' flagship.
(Marvel Graphic Novel#11: Void Indigo) - Seeking to confirm Jhagur to be the reincarnation of Ath'Agaar, Koth's eidolon entered his ship and examined him. Touching Jhagur's birthmark, Koth found that Ath'Agaar's fury and his lust for vengeance abided there undiminished by time or space. As Jhagur was distracted by Koth, the imperial flagship blasted his ship; its engines damaged and its power ebbing, Jhagur had no choice but to flee.
Shutting down all systems but minimal life support, Jhagur channeled his craft's remaining power to its tachyon drive, hurtling across light years until the ship's power was all but deleted. Jhaguur then banked his ship and opened fire, badly damaging the imperial craft. However, before Jhagur could fire a lethal strike, Koth -- seeking to ensure that Jhaguur returned to Earth -- distracted Jhagur by projecting his voice into his mind, and the imperial flagship blasted Jhagur's ship, causing it to crash on the Earth below...in the very desert where the Citadel of Erok (Ath'Agaar's last base) once stood...in what is now New Mexico.
Jhagur
rushed out of the ship moments before it exploded, leaving him
stranded, although he vowed in time that he would somehow contact his
brethren on Gebura. After days of aimless wandering, Jhagur arrived in
Quimby, New Mexico, where he observed a number of people in a trailer
park, regarding them as proto-sentients. After witnessing a sexual
escapade of prostitute Linette Cumpston
with Charlie Blodgett that then proceeded to Charlie preparing to
batter Linette, Jhagur approached, ordering Charlie to desist and
depart quietly. When Charlie attempted to stomp on Linette's face,
Jhagur fired a bolt of indigo (see
comments) energy from his eyes that burned the
flesh from Charlie's left foot. 
Linette
then stole Charlie's truck, and Jhagur accompanied her. After he told
her his name, Linette joked that his first name must be Mick (after
the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger, in case you somehow didn't get that...),
and
he adopted that name. She further asked if he could make himself
less conspicuous, and Jhagur touched a jeweled-stud on his belt,
activating its photochromatic camouflaging function, and he adopted the
appearance of a man on a Camel cigarettes billboard ad.
(Marvel Graphic Novel#11: Void Indigo (fb) - BTS) - After several days, they arrived in North Hollywood, California. They abandoned the truck in the San Fernando Valley and rented a small furnished apartment from Katy-Did Apartments. Linette further obtained various forms of identification for "Mick Jagger."
(Marvel Graphic Novel#11: Void Indigo) - While Linette worked as a waitress, Jhagur spent his days in the apartment, immersed in media, mastering the vernacular with the aid of his trilingual processor: Within weeks, he was fluent enough to begin his own job-hunting expedition. Lacking educational credentials and with a markedly foreign accent to his English, Jhagur drifted from one strenuous job to the next, accruing more muscle mass than wages. In the evening, he studied at home, reading voraciously: Darwin and the Bible, Einstein and Velikovsky, Homer and Harold Robbins. He enjoyed the combination of hard work and intellectual stimulation, as well as Linette's undemanding companionship and her acceptance of his alien nature.
After months, Jhague conceded the possibility that he may spend the rest of his life on Earth, and he fairly easily adjusted, with Earth's people and topography seeming to resonate with some heretofore unvisited aspect of his personality. However, his sleep remained troubled, as in the hour before dawn he spasmed violently, moaning loudly and awakening Linette as he had brief glimpses of images from Ath'Agaar's final days; at dawn, his torments ceased, and they both fell back to sleep.
(Marvel Graphic Novel#11: Void Indigo (fb) - BTS) - Mick Jagger became foreman at a site in Santa Monica, California to build an office tower.
(Marvel Graphic
Novel#11: Void
Indigo) - When Pete Mulgrew unearthed the jeweled spike that had been
used on Ath'Agaar and then showed it to "Mick," Jhagur lost control,
grabbed it, and attacked Pete. The other workers subdued "Mick" and
took the jeweled spike from him.
(Marvel Graphic Novel#11: Void Indigo (fb) - BTS) - The workers called Linette to take him home.
(Marvel Graphic Novel#11: Void Indigo) - After Linette gave Jhagur some tea, he explained how the object was from his dreams, and he needed to seek out it and the faces from his dreams. Subsequently watching the news, Jhagur saw a story about the dying David Tepper and -- recognizing his face from his dreams -- rushed to see him at the Dorman-Conner Medical Center before he died. Bypassing both the nurse and David's mother while in his human appearance, "Mick" shook David, demanding to know about the "void indigo" and "Ath'Agaar" he had been chanting, and David/Koth told Jhagur he had been Ath'Agaar long ago and that he/Koth had slain him. Koth then told Jhagur the events of 11,000 years ago before noting how they had reached the next age of barbarism, when all involved in the past conflict could be regathered by the Void. Having guided Jhagur in his dreams, he told him to hunt down the others and Ren and learn what the Void wished from him. Tepper then died soon after, and Jhagur blasted him with eyebeams (perhaps this action prevented Koth's resurrection) before adopting his true form and fleeing.
(Marvel Graphic Novel#11: Void Indigo (fb) - BTS) - Back in their apartment, Jhagur explained things to Linette, which took all night.
(Marvel Graphic Novel#11: Void Indigo) - At dawn, Jhagur noted that he would see to it that his enemies would know him, and he had Linette sew him a warrior's garment, a reminder of Ath'Agaar to stir in his foes the same "resonances" that Earth evoked in him. Jhagur further forged a new version of the sword he had wielded as Ath'Agaar.
(Void Indigo#1) - Guided by the Void, Jhagur slew transvestite Brita after she murdered transvestite prostitute Larry for refusing sex, leaving a note reading "Void Indigo" nailed into her head as a sign to the other Dark Lords.
(Void Indigo#1 - BTS) - Investigation of Brita's death by Det. Jay Wallerstein led him to Britta's associate, Amanda Tower, who contacted Taro (associated with a cult worshipping Kaok), who in turn sent someone to shoot Amanda.
(Void Indigo#2 (fb) - BTS) - Surviving the assault,
Amanda drove herself to a doctor's office.
(Void Indigo#1 - BTS) - Pete Mulgrew's daughter, Colleen,
was drawn to the jeweled spike, which gave her
knowledge of Kaok and Zhered-Na and affected her behavior;
(Void Indigo#1) - "Mick"
warned Pete about how the spike could affect and was a danger to
him and others, and Pete warned "Mick" to stay away from his
house/family, or he would kill him. As Jhagur traveled to Pete's house,
Colleen tapped into
othe spike's power, explosively destroying the house and taking on a
winged form that then assaulted Jhagur. Noting itself to be of the
"Beyond-World" and to be the living will and power of Kaok, the
transformed Colleen leapt into Jhagur's sword, vowing to destroy him
first with ecstacy and then with flame.
(Void
Indigo#2) - As Jhagur fought back against possessed Colleen, the
jeweled spike
pierced the neck of nearby acid-user Peace Barwock and claimed his
right eye, transforming it into a
new Living Orb and using it to blast Jhagur before vanishing with
Colleen. The (then unidentified) Cosima (later revealed as the daughter
of Amanda Tower) cut off a piece of the fallen Jhagur's hair and
departed with it.
A then-unidentified young girl living in wilderness (Cosima) cut off a
piece
of Jhagur's hair and took it with her.
(Void Indigo#2 (fb) - BTS) - Jhagur's body coated itself in a gray healing material, and he was taken to Dorman-Conner hospital.
(Void Indigo#2 - BTS) - Linette fainted upon seeing news report of the fallen Jhagur in custody.
(Void Indigo#2 - BTS) - Wallerstein visited Amanda and Jhagur in the hospital, telling Amanda of Jhagur's being in the same hospital.
(Void Indigo#2) - Contact with gray material
oozing out of Jhagur's pores burnt skin from Dr. Jacobs' hand.
(Void Indigo#2) - Having healed herself, Amanda donned a nurse's uniform and then accessed Jhagur's room and kissed him. The gray material coated her as well, and they spiritually communed in the Void Indigo.
Jhagur then recovered, while Amanda shared some of
his power; they returned to Linette's apartment where he convinced
Linette to allow Amanda to stay with them. While Amanda considered
Linette an insect, Jhagur noted that she was his friend; regardless,
Amanda demanded physical relations with Jhagur in return for the
information she would share with him.

Marvel
Graphic
Novel#11 / Void Indigo identifies the planet Gebura as "some
50,000 light years" from Earth and being on "the far side of the
galaxy." Recent estimates note that the Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 -
120,000 light years across, and that Earth is 28,500 light years from
the center of the Milky Way. We have a lot more information/knowledge
now than we did in 1984, when that information was published.
Marvel
Graphic Novel#11 / Void Indigo has Jhagur consider Earth as having a
nitrogen-blue sky...presumably indicating Gebura's sky was different.
However, Jhagur could breathe on Earth without assistance.
The last name of Koth's reincarnation was Trepper in Marvel Graphic Novel#11 / Void Indigo, but it was Tepper in subsequent issues of the Void Indigo series.
The energy Jhagur fired at Charlie Blodgett was shown as yellow and described as indigo. Due to the significance of indigo in this series, I think the coloring is in error.
