{{work}}

 

== Antagonists ==

 

 

 

 

For the rebooted mayhem, check out below.

 

 

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Yup.

* [[Body Surf]]: When he's body is destroyed in ''Jason Goes to Hell'', his heart evolves into a small creature that hops from a body to body to get the proper one (of his own blood, that is).

* [[Breakout Villain]]: In the original film, he was just a [[Dead Herring]] to his mother. Later films turned him into one of the most iconic characters of horrordom.

* [[Clothes Make the Legend]]: The hockey mask.

* [[Cool Mask]]: His iconic hockey mask, which he picks up in the third movie. In the remake he outright abandons his makeshift sack-mask when he finds a hockey mask in Donnie's barn.

* [[Cyborg]]: Becomes one in ''Jason X'' due to malfunctioning [[Nanomachines]] using metal and other replacements to fix his lost tissue.

* [[The Dead Have Eyes]]: Jason has one perfectly normal eye in ''Part VI'', despite being dead.

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: It is stated that he doesn't strive for killing children or animals, though he exhibited these traits [[Early Installment Weirdness|early in the series]].

** In some of the sequels, Jason appears quite content to stay within the camp borders and not bother anyone. In these examples, he would only go on a killing spree if someone invaded his "territory" first.

* [[Evil Uncle]]: Fits the role when it was revealed that he has more relatives in ''Jason Goes to Hell''.

* [[Green Eyes]]: In ''Jason X'', he is shown to have green eyes.

* [[Immune to Bullets]]: As a zombie. As a cyborg, the bullets don't even faze him.

* [[Implacable Man]]: When he has set his sights on someone, he does everything he can to get them. Somehow reseted when he is defeated.

* [[Improvised Weapon]]: Jason alternates between using his trusty machete and wide array of sharp things he finds along the way.

* [[Batman Can Breathe in Space|Jason Can Breathe in Space]]: In ''Jason X''.

* [[Momma's Boy]]

* [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family]]: He is shown to have more teeth than humanly possible in parts ''VII'' and ''VIII''.

* [[Nigh Invulnerability]]: As a zombie.

* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Taking account all his appearances throughout the original series, he is by the end a cyborg zombie demon serial killer.

* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: A subtle one.

* [[Quizzical Tilt]]: His usual reaction to interesting things.

* [[Red Right Hand]]: His deformed features, which change film to film.

* [[Scars Are Forever]]: Had his other eye missing for a long time after his resurrection, as originally he died when Tommy Jarvis lodged a machete into his skull destroying his eye in the process. This also applies to the axe-wound in his head from ''Part III''.

* [[The Scourge of God]]: Jason kills those first who are shown to be more promiscuous and so on.

** Then there's that one ''really'' bizarre moment in ''Part VIII'' where he talks with a little child's voice before getting washed by toxic waste.

* [[Significant Birth Date]]: It was 13th of some month, we're not sure, but it was definitely friday. <ref>(Yeah, dates don't actually work like that, but [[MST3K Mantra|don't let it ruin the fun]])</ref>

* [[Super Strength]]: He was a strong invidual. In undeath, his strenght is monstrous.

* [[Villain Protagonist]]

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: ''Freddy vs. Jason'' reveals that he had a fear of water when he was a child. It doesn't affect him as an adult (being a zombie and all), but Freddy gives it back to him to get the upper hand.

* [[Would Hurt a Child]]: When he was alive. After his death, his shown being intrigued by children but ultimately leaving them alone.

 

 

 

 

Jason has now returned to his roots of the first films: He is once again a territorial survivalist who lives in the abandoned Camp Crystal Lake and slays anyone who dares to disturb its peace.

* [[Crazy Survivalist]]: More so than in the original series.

* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]]

* [[Lean and Mean]]: Not so tall as in ''Freddy vs. Jason'', but he is now more thinner than in the original series.

* [[Machete Mayhem]]: As expected.

 

 

 

 

She has brief appearance in the opening minutes of the reboot.

 

 

* [[The Archer]]: She kills one girl by luring her into the middle of an archery range during a rain storm. She manages to pin another counselor to a door using arrows. She kills another man with an arrow while he lied in bed, but it wasn't so much archery that time as much as it was using an arrow as a knife.

* [[Mama Bear]]: A psychotic example.

* [[My Beloved Smother]]: Depending on what extra materials you are reading, she was either an incredibly smothering mother, or flat out incestous with Jason.

* [[Predecessor Villain]]

* [[Start of Darkness]]: The comic miniseries ''Pamela's Tale''.

* [[Stranger Behind the Mask]]: There's only a brief mention of her before she appears and reveals that she is behind the murders.

== Roy Burns ==

 

 

 

 

 

The [[Novelization]] of ''Part VI'' hints that he was in fact possessed by Jason's spirit, which then drove him to kill. This isn't played up in ''Part V'', but its ending supports this. It's up to the watcher if this is [[Canon]] or not , if they consider the film to be [[Fanon Discontinuity|canon in the first place]].

* [[Determinator]]: Roy doesn't share Jason's inherent [[Made of Iron]] status, as he is shown to feel the injuries and pain inflicted upon him. Despite that, he still keeps on going until his death.

* [[The Dog Was the Mastermind]]: He was onscreen for a minute, tops.

* [[Implacable Man]]: Not as much as Jason, though.

* [[Jack the Ripoff]]

 

 

 

Alice was one of the counselors who was hired for the restoration of Camp Crystal Lake. A talented artist, it was also implied that she had an affair with camp's current owner Steve Christy. She was forced to kill Pamela Voorhees when she revealed to her that she was responsible for all the misfortune the camp had gone through the past years and attacked her. Afterwards, she would have very prophetic nightmare of Jason attacking her...

* [[Final Girl]]: She has the high honor of being the first in a long line of ''Friday the 13th'' heroines. Rare in the fact that she smokes marijuana, takes part in naughty strip games, but still manages to make it to the end.

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* [[Informed Ability]]: Her artistic skills.

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Sure, she managed to stop Pamela's little spree. The crazy old lady may have been gone, but now her unstoppable zombie killing machine of a son gets brought into the picture because of her.

* [[Never Found the Body]]: Because Jason took it with him.

 

 

 

 

Iconic character to the franchise, he would later gain two [[Expy|Expies]] in the form of Abel the hobo in ''Part III'' and the unnamed deckhand in ''Part VIII''.

* [[Large Ham]]: "[[Incoming Ham|YOUR'RE GOIN' TO CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE, AIN'T 'CHA?!]]"

* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Notice in ''Part 2'' that he's wearing the exact same clothes he had on in the original. Sure, it's five years later, but still...

* [[Posthumous Narration]]: The opening of ''Part VII'' is narrated by an uncredited Walt Gorney.

* [[Red Herring]]: Possibly intended to be one.

 

 

 

Closest thing the franchise had for a ''hero'' protagonist, Tommy was young boy who had interest in all things horror and was a good amateur FX creator. Just like any ''Friday the 13th'' protagonist, he was forced to fight for his life when Jason was on yet another killing spree near his family's place. With the help of his sister he manages to bring Jason down for good, leaving him [[Harmful to Minors|heavily traumatized]] in the process. He spends many years in mental institutions, and at his worst mental state almost becomes replacement for Jason. Some time later he attempts to cremate Jason's body, so he can be finally released from the demons of his past. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|This goes spectacularly wrong]] and he is forced to fight Jason once more.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: After discovering about Jason's past, he shaves his head to appear like him for distraction and ultimately to kill him.

* [[Hallucinations]]: He sees apparitions of Jason in ''Part V''.

* [[I Should Write a Book About This]]: It's mentioned in the spin-off novel ''Carnival of Maniacs'' that he authored several.

* [[Important Haircut]]: As mentioned above. Also a [[Traumatic Haircut]].

While there, she accidentally resurrects Jason from his watery grave with her psychic powers. As Jason starts another killing spree, she's forced to gain control over her powers and in the end [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|gives Jason one of the biggest asskickings of his (un)life]].
