}}

'''Jonathan Phaedrus''', usually referred to as '''Prof''', is the leader of the [[Reckoners]], a group which hunts down and kills [[Epic]]s.{{ref|b|reck1|c|7}} Somewhat ironically, he himself is an Epic of not inconsiderable power.{{ref|b|reck1|c|41}}

Prior to the arrival of [[Calamity (satellite)| Calamity]] he was a fifth-grade science teacher. At some later time his school was destroyed by an Epic while still in session. It is unknown whether or not the Epic in question is, in reality, himself.{{ref|b|reck1|c|34}} He has an unexplained hatred of Steelheart, more so than of any other epic.

 

;Transference: As a "gifter" Prof can loan his Epic abilities to non-Epics, often the members of the Reckoners. He disguises his giftings by attributing the effects to various devices. By gifting his abilities to others, he also lessens the psychological effects of being an Epic.

;Matter Disruption: Disguised by the '''Tensors'''. Prof can turn inorganic matter to dust. This dust seems to have less volume and weight than the original substance. He can also carve improvised weapons using this ability. Because the ability is controlled by the mind, each person has a different mental trick for activating this ability.

;Accelerated Healing: Disguised by the '''Harmsway'''. His healing factor can heal injuries which would ordinarily be fatal in a matter of seconds. When spread among the team, it can heal critical or traumatic injury in a couple of days.
