Jake Sisko Canon

Death Ray

Commander
Red Shirt
I’m a big fan of all the Trek TV shows, but not so much the books and comics. Is there anything about Jake Sisko’s story beyond the DS9 program that is considered canon?

Books and comics aren't canon anyway, only what's shown on screen. And the last we saw of Jake on screen was the final scene of DS9 twenty-one years ago.
 
As far as non-canon stuff goes, he was kind of important in the Avatar two-parter, set a few months after the show ended, and then had an entire book dedicated to him, Rising Son. Fragments and Omens eventually depicted him meeting the woman he married in "The Visitor", and I think that's about everything major TrekLit got about him, after DS9. But yeah, all non-canon.

Cirroc Lofton is the nephew of baseball player Kenny Lofton. Does that count? :D

Isn't Jake about 1/4 prophet? Benjamin was 1/2 prophet.
Sarah was biologically human, she was just mentally "taken over" by a Prophet. So Ben and Jake are both 100% human. (Prophets don't appear to have any biological form, so Ben and Jake couldn't have inherited anything from them.)

Arguably, Ben Sisko was a god, but none of that was passed down to Jake,

oops, forgot about that.... But Ben did become a prophet and he went to the wormhole temple thing so there might have been something alien about him from the prophet that controlled Sarah?
 
What did Sisko ever do that was godlike as opposed to a prophetic / emissary role?
In case you didn't notice, I was attempting humor. However, Ira Steven Behr described what they did to Sisko in the finale was make him a god. Moreover, at various times and by various character, the prophets were described as Bajor's gods. Hence, Sisko was arguably a god.
