In The Comic
Jack From Jupiter manages to be an incredibly bizarre mix of Shazam and Martian Manhunter, as he is (supposedly) an alien from a far-off planet, who can turn invulnerable when he says his magic phrase, 'Dupo'.
This said, Jupiter resembles neither of these characters physically, as his Jupiter-patterned skin and red cape-and-shorts combo is something totally different entirely. That said, it's also a solid reminder that many heroes in the days of yore wore equally questionable outfits - and we didn't even question it.
In The Show

In the show, however, Jack's role has been summarily replaced - likely due to certain scenes involving Jupiter being a little too risque for even for the obscene television adaptation, but officially because the producers didn't want aliens to feature in the series.
Which isn't to suggest that Translucent - the blunt name of the superhero who can turn invisible and was made to replace Jack - is any better. The supposed hero uses his abilities to creep on unsuspecting members of the general public in a scandal that is just as great as Jupiter's, yet makes for considerably less sordid viewing.
