My take on Jemm, Son of Saturn:
Jemm Hyperius Saturnius Bhokanius (born Ahm'na'zz N'saire D'sayre) was the bastard child of a martian and a saturnian, born during the war between Saturn and the rest of the Solar system. But when he was discovered amongst the rubble of mars's capital, the emperor of saturn took pity on the child and adopted him, giving him the new name of Jemm.
Jemm grew up in the lap of luxury, being afforded the best teachers in all fields of study, from combat training to diplomacy (since he was set to inherit the throne one day). But despite being the royal heir, some saturnians opposed the idea of being ruled by a filthy half martian. The god Saturn even frowned upon it, seeing it as a plot by the Dii Consentes to usurp his authority over saturn. And so Saturn decides to take a more personal hand in affairs. He takes physical form and whips the people of Saturn into a frenzy.
Eventually, the people of Saturn lead a coup and kill their emperor. They then select the leading general of saturn (K'os'che'i) to replace him as emperor. But when K'os'che'i and his fellow saturnians go hunting for Jemm, they find that he's missing. His stupid matron must have slipped him away during the coup. But it's of no matter. K'os'che'i and Saturn have bigger plans; the stupid prince can wait. First, Saturn needs to conquer the other worlds and show Dii Consentes who's the true ruler of the galaxies.
This leads to saturn leading renewed wars on the other planets of the solar system. They enslave the people of jupiter, neptune and pluto, and they raze Mars and Uranus to the ground. From there, they proceed to earth. But due to J'onn J'onzz (on the roman side) and Diana of Themyscira (on the Greek side) rallying a group of earthly superheroes to fight back the invasion of Saturn/Kronos, the saturnian fleet collapses. They turn back, and then have to face a renewed martian attack on them.
This led to a years long war between mars and saturn, which only ended when 90% of all martians and saturnians were wiped out. On the martian side, only J'onn J'onzz and his brother Ma'alefa'ak survived (unless we count the white martians in suspended animation in mars's crust). While on the saturnian side, only K'os'che'i and a few others survived. The remaining saturnians fled to their newfound colonies on jupiter, neptune and pluto, while K'os'che'i fled to the darkest parts of the galaxy to escape further punishment.
But where was Jemm during all of this? Simple: Jemm was taken by his matron to the temple of the gods, out on a far distant asteroid. There he was trained and prepared for the day when he would get revenge on K'os'che'i and reclaim his rightful throne. He was the god's new champion, the man destined to unite the solar system. He was Jemm Hyperius Saturnius Bhokanius, son of Saturn!
This is around the time that the Martian Manhunter enters the picture. J'onn J'onzz, Ma'alefa'ak and Zook were travelling through space hunting down K'os'che'i, when they happened to stumble upon Jemm, in the middle of his quest to find K'os'che'i. Deciding to team up, this quartet hunt K'os'che'i down, tailing him all throughout the galaxies. And when they finally find him, J'onn and Jemm share the honours of killing him and grinding his body to dust! For what he did to Mars and for what he tried to do to Dii Consentes, he had to pay!
After this, J'onn and Ma'alefa'ak go back to earth. But Zook decides to stay with Jemm, and be his confidant as they reunite the solar system under jemm's watchful eye. Zook may be a childish imp creature from a different dimension, but he knows how to be there for people. And he wants to be there for Jemm. So together, him and jemm begin their quest.
For a long time, Jemm and Zook travel the Solar System, liberating the planets and making alliances with Mercury and Venus (the two planets saturn never attacked). Jemm helps free Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto of it's colonizers. He builds monuments to all the dead on Mars and Uranus. He travels to the home of the gods to get the approval of all of the Dii Consentes. He does everything a king should do to prove their strength. He even travels to Olympus to get the approval of the Greek gods, so he can say he represents all aspects of the gods!
From there, he proposes his solar federation, and seals it by promising to marry a beautiful venusian lass by the name of Cha'rissa. And if that's not enough, he adopts the last uranian child: a young five year old named D'avood Tai'jeri. With these acts of reconciliation, Jemm wins the loyalty of every planet besides earth. On his inauguration day, ambassadors from Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto and Saturn (what little good saturnians remain) all show up. Besides the dead planet of Uranus, only earth misses his inauguration. But nevertheless, he is inaugurated. Hail Jemm the first, menandros* of the Solar Federation!
But now that Jemm has consolidated his rule, he needs to bring earth into the fold. So Jemm, Cha'rissa, D'avood and Zook descend to earth and break into the United Nations building. There, they appeal to humanity: please, join our solar federation! With you, we could unite the stars as one! But the humans laugh in their faces, boggled by these aliens trying to tell them what to do. Blind prejudice almost leads Jemm to do something he'd regret, until an intervention by The Protectors.
Doctor Fate, Martian Manhunter and Ocean Master educate the people of earth on the importance of maintaining a balance between the planets. If order is not preserved in the galaxy, the lords of chaos will have a way back onto earth. And more importantly: Ocean Master would lead the people of Atlantis in an uprising against the surface dwellers, in solidarity with jemm and his federation. If you don't accept them, Martian Manhunter and Ocean Master and Doctor Fate and Solomon Grundy turn on earth. And nobody wants that, do they?
So earth agrees to join the Solar Federation, on one condition: Jemm stays on earth for three years and performs acts of goodwill. If he can prove his trustworthiness to the people of earth, they'll formally join his Solar Federation. So Jemm agrees to these conditions. He sends his wife and child back to Saturn with Zook (where they can rule in his stead for three years). Meanwhile, Jemm will join the Justice League Canada, and prove himself amongst their ranks. It worked for J'onn J'onzz, why can't it work for him?
And so Jemm Bhokanius, Son of Saturn and menandros of the Solar Federation joins the Justice League Canada. To blend in, he takes a human form by the name of Jeevan Brock, and a job as a worker at the canadian wing of the UN. And using this vantage point, he will prove himself to earth (and presumably expose earthly prejudice, as well).
*Menandros is a Saturnian word for ruler, similar to how romans used the term Caesar.

If I could ask, what makes you "shoot Jemm with your they/them beam"? I'm not trying to be judgy, but I personally don't really understand the want to change a character's gender like that. But that might just be my rigid way of thinking (autistic). I apologize if this comes across as rude.
Hi there! Not rude if you're genuinely curious! It's really common in fandom to take established characters and headcanon them differently to either tell a new story, bring out something about the character they identify with, or just for fun! I really enjoy that transformative aspect of fandom (and cape comics in general since canon is just as nebulous).
Even though martians are referred to in gendered pronouns in Sons of Mars, for my au, martians are all agender (I wanted to pay homage to how they're gendered in the source material pronoun-wise)! They don't mind being gendered either way on Earth. Considering Mars is a planet of shapeshifters, it makes sense that their framework for gender is vastly different from how humans approach the concept of gender and sexuality. I figured Jemm is a neat gender neutral name, so they/them it is! J'onn, Ma'al, and all the martians are non-binary though!
