Jazz appears to have no overt mutant power except that his skin is blue. His dream is to be a rapper, but he doesn't do it very well. While in "Mutant Town" Jazz was a drug runner for one of the crime lords of the area, selling a drug made from the secretions of a mutant called Toad Boy.
Since Decimation he was one of the few mutants to retain his powers, and was forcibly relocated to the mutant camp for the 198 on the estate of the X-Mansion.
During a trip to Salem Center, Jazz attempted to purchase drugs, which he hoped to sell to his fellow detainees. He was killed by fellow mutant and tentmate, Johnny Dee by a miniature voodoo doll Johnny made from a DNA sample.[1]
Jazz appears in the House of M, a lot more successful than his counterpart as he is a famous rap and hip-hop artist.
