I was watching 'Ides of Metropolis' today, and it occurred to me that Eugene Laderman shares a surname with Commander Laderman, who is killed in the Messenger explosion in the Pilot.

Is Commander Laderman's first name ever mentioned? And what is it?

Feli

In the transcript, his first name is given as, "Jack." I don't know whether that name made it onto the show itself,

Joy,

Agreeing with Lynn. Toward the beginning of the episode, the TV anchorwoman says his full name.
