Origin
Jefferson Davis never got along with his brother Aaron Davis yet he decided to join his criminal brother to meet with gangster Turk Barrett. Things got out of control and Jefferson wound up in jail only to be bailed by Nick Fury. Impressed with his fighting skills, Fury had Jefferson join Barrett's gang for intel, eventually working his way up to Wilson Fisk's criminal empire. Afterwards, Jefferson was offered a spot in S.H.I.E.L.D. by Fury but chose to live a simple life, meeting and marrying Rio Morales and having Miles. Jefferson is now a police officer in the NYPD, having kept Miles from ever interacting with Aaron and keeping a strict household in an attempt to lead his son on a clean path. Despite his overall dislike of Aaron's criminal activities, Jefferson was saddened by his brother's death.
Jefferson along with his wife and their son were then among the candidates chosen to take part in the lottery that added students to the Brooklyn Visions Academy. At first, he came to believe they had wasted their time but were surprised to find that Miles was among those that won the lottery leading to his admission in the charter school. The family celebrated though Miles later decided to visit his uncle Aaron where he came to be bitten by a spider that caused him to go into shock. Upon learning of this, Jefferson rushed to Aaron's place only to find that Miles had recovered from the incident. However, he came to believe his brother had given his son drugs leading to an argument between the pair. An upset Miles came to run out from Aaron's apartment to find his son but he came to disappear shortly afterwards when he exited the building. (Ultimate Comics Spider-Man v2 #1)
Afterwards, Jefferson was captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. only to be attacked by Hydra, attempting to get Jefferson to join HYDRA, but he kills them all and returns home to Rio. He tells his wife what happens and they go looking for Miles, finding their son at Ganke Lee's house. Jefferson is later attacked by Venom who puts him in the hospital. He's attacked again, but Spider-Man battles and defeats him, but at the cost of Rio getting killed. One year later, Jefferson discovered that Miles was Spider-Man, angering him and blaming his son for the deaths of Aaron and Rio. Jefferson apologizes and reveals his own past to his son.
