| Jackson "Jax" Briggs is a U.S. Special Forces major who first appears in MKII
to find and rescue Sonya from Outworld and bring Kano into custody, a
mission he successfully completes, although Kano soon escapes. When Kahn
invades Earthrealm in Mortal Kombat 3,
Jax prepares for battle by fitting his arms with bionic implants, and
after helping foil Kahn's attempt to permanently claim Earth as his own,
he and Sonya found the Outer World Investigation Agency (OIA), which
specializes in explorating and mapping other realms, as well as the
destruction of interdimensional portals that could lead to Earth. In Mortal Kombat 4,
he joins the Earthrealm heroes and successfully stops Shinnok and his
forces from entering Earth. After Shinnok's defeat, Jax witnesses Jarek
trying to kill Sonya while the two are on the edge of the cliff. Jax
catches up with Jarek, grabs him and drops him off the cliff. While
returning to Earthrealm, Jax and Sonya find Cyrax malfunctioning in a
desert. The two bring the cyborg back to the OIA headquarters, where
they restore Cyrax's humanity. In Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance,
the OIA's underground facility is destroyed by Hsu Hao, who reveals
himself to be part of the Red Dragon clan. Jax has a score to settle
with him while Hsu Hao was sent by Mavado to kill Shang Tsung. On his
way to Tsung's palace, Jax finally catches up with Hsu Hao and kills him
by ripping out his artificial heart implant. During the final attack
against the Deadly Alliance, Jax and his allies are killed by the
Alliance's Tarkatan warriors. After the Dragon King Onaga defeats Raiden
and the Alliance, he resurrected Raiden and the dead Earthrealm heroes
as his slaves, but Ermac and the spirit of Liu Kang later break his mind
control. In MK: Armageddon, Sonya's sends Jax to lead a team of
Special Forces to search for survivors after destroying Sektor's Tekunin
Warship, but they later vanish and are captured by the Tekunin. His own
cybernetic bio scanners send out mysterious readings before contact is
lost, and Sonya fears the possibility of Jax's death. Jax's first
chronological adventure was depicted in Mortal Kombat: Special Forces. In this game, Jax is voiced by Craig Harris and serves as the game's protagonist. He also appears in MK vs. DC Universe as a playable character voiced by Dan Washington.John Parrish played Jax in all of the digitized MK games, and endured a six-hour makeup session to have his arms painted for filming in MK3.[3] Jax had a minor role in the original MK film and was played by Gregory McKinney. In the film Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, Lynn "Red" Williams portrayed Jax and was one of the main characters. Michael Jai White portrayed as Jax in Mortal Kombat: Rebirth,
where he is the police captain who enlists Hanzo Hasashi (Scorpion) to
enter a tournament run by Shang Tsung. In the 1996 animated series Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, Jax was among the lead characters voiced by Dorian Harewood.Jax's "Arm Rip" Fatality was named by IGN in 2006 as the #10 best gore effect in the video game history.[4] | |
