History

(NOTE: Not including Comic Crossovers in his Backstory. )

  • In 1850, long before the Voorhees Family, the lands of Camp Crystal Lake belonged to the Tillamook, Nehalem and Nestucca Indians. But a group of settlers, unknown by the laws of America, slaughtered as many as they could. In a bid to split them apart, they tried to take out the Shaman that kept them together. But as his blood filled the river, the area gained a death curse. For years, it looked for a suitable host to give the curse a body.

  • In September 1947, Pamela Voorhees was pregnant with a child she called Jason. Done with the abuse given by his father (who according to the video game is not his biological father) killed him and moved to Crystal Lake to have a new life. She got a job at a restaurant as well as part of a Summer Camp since it is only open seasonally. While Jason did kill animals for fun as a kid, Pamela still loved him. Needing to quell this anger in him, Pamela was suggested to let him join the Summer Camp.

  • In 1957, Jason was in the lake and drowned to his death. Pamela blamed his death on the Counselors who were busy making love instead of protecting her boy. For years she has taken her revenge on those Counselors as well as any she felt were sinful. This lasted until 1980 where Alice Hardy cut off her head and stopped her reign of terror.

  • But unknown to anyone, Jason was still alive. For over 20 years, despite not knowing how to talk, he survived in the woods through various means. When he found his mother being decapitated, he took it upon himself to continue her desire to kill anyone who enters Camp Crystal Lake and has killed numerous people until around 2008 where he was captured and was tried to be executed. In a last ditch effort to stop him, he was kept in Cryo-Stasis to hopefully stay that way until there is some way to stop him.

  • In the year 2455, people found him and unintentionally freed him. He went back to doing what he does best until an android blew him up. But instead of stopping him, Jason got upgraded to a cyborg. After the events, the other remains of Jason were reformed thanks to the Nanites and the remaining bodies. The two Jasons eventually collided and fought each other but Jason X eventually came out on top and the two became one once more. And Jason is still around hunting down people to kill.

Arsenal

Weapons

  • Jason uses anything he can get his hands on. If it can kill, he can use it. 

  • Machete - Jason’s Preferred weapon of choice. He can slash, throw it accurately and stab.

  • In Part 2 and the Reboot, Jason is able to set up traps like Snares or Bear Traps

Armors

  • Hockey Mask - Great for protecting his face from blunt attacks.


Powers and Abilities

  • Superhuman Strength: From punching through metal, lifting cars, to lifting people and crushing heads with ease, Jason is frikkin strong.

  • Pain Resistance: Jason can take a lot of punishment, even before becoming undead. Now that he is undead, he doesn’t feel too much pain.

  • Stealth (Stalk/Super Speed): Despite being seemingly slow, Jason can surprisingly move fast. Capable of surprising people who he chases by cutting them off at the path.

  • Intelligence: Jason is an Artist when it comes to killing. If he can’t straight up kill you, he’ll find a way to kill you in other ways.

  • Regeneration: Jason can heal from wounds regardless of damage. If there is a lot of his body still available, he can heal quickly. If there is very little, it will take a lot of time unless outside forces speed up his recovery. If beyond healing, he will spawn a slug like creature to host his soul until he can find a way to be reborn.

  • Teleportation: It is questionable if Jason can teleport, but depending on specific scenes as well as games he can do so.

  • Amazing Accuracy: With a Harpoon Gun, throwing blades, non-throwing blades and especially with a Bow and Arrow, Jason can hit a target very well.
