JAX

Jackson “Jax” Briggs is a fictional character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game franchise. He was introduced in Mortal Kombat II in 1993 as the leader of a Special Forces unit. Jax is a cybernetically-enhanced soldier, distinguished by his metal bionic arms, which he first received in Mortal Kombat 3 in 1995. His abilities are based around his upper-body strength. Jax is depicted as the commanding officer of Special Forces operative Sonya Blade and subsequently becomes one of the warriors defending Earthrealm from various threats. He is also the protagonist of the action-adventure spin-off Mortal Kombat: Special Forces. Jax is portrayed as an archetypal American soldier: determined, moral, and powerful. He is comparable to the Street Fighter franchise’s Guile in that regard. Despite his tough exterior, Jax is clear- headed, careful, and always keeping a watch on what his men are doing. His character is a mainstay of the series, making him a beloved character among Mortal Kombat fans.
