"No nets or chains or heavy locks will put this Jack back in its box. Imprisoned for a century, but now I'm free, free to be ME-hehehee!"
— Spring-Heeled Jack

Spring-Heeled Jack is a troll who was turned into stone by a magician called Simon Magus. He was accidentally released by Jackie Chan, and went in search of Magus' descendants. Later he was captured and returned into stone with salt.

Appearance[]

Spring-Heeled Jack is a short troll with greyish-green skin, small eyes, badly maintained teeth, and slicked-back, spiky, brown-orange hair. His outfit consists of a dark green onesuit under a lighter green vest, camo green gloves, large brown shoes with springs on the heels, and a black cape.

Personality[]

Spring-Heeled Jack has terrorized many people in the past before being turned into stone. Like the Monkey King, he seems to hold grudges. He holds a grudge against the Magus family and will attempt to devour any descendant from Simon Magus — even if they had nothing to do with Jack. Spring-Heeled Jack speaks in nursery rhyme which provides some sort of comic relief. When he was released from his stone form, he had no interest in terrorizing other people or fighting Jackie — his main goal being to devour Simone Magus.

Spring-Heeled Jack (Yin & Yang)

Jack's Yin side and subdued Yang side

Despite his mischievous tendencies, Spring-Heeled Jack is shown to have a friendly side. When Yang Jackie expresses sympathy towards Jack for their similar desire to remain free, Jack proposes to strike a partnership with him, and seems genuinely shocked when, thanks to Jade, Yang Jackie turns against him.

When the Tiger Talisman separates Jack's Yin and Yang sides, the only trait they both share is his rhyming habit. Yin Jack is soft-spoken and gentle to the point that he keeps Simone safe from his opposite, and reveals his ultimate weakness. Yang Jack lacks the jovial attitude of the whole Jack, and is focused solely on getting his revenge.

Powers and Abilities[]

Spring-Heeled Jack possesses great jumping ability, using the springs found on the heels of his shoes. Despite his short stature, he is quite formidable as he can take on both Yin Jackie and Yang Jackie at the same time. Due to his jumping abilities combined with acrobatics, Spring-Heeled Jack's fighting style is quite unorthodox thus making him a difficult opponent to predict. As such he is able to easily perform somersaults, cartwheels, and tornado kicks.

He prefers to jump away from his fights, using his wits and the environment to catch his opponents off guard in order to escape. He also possesses a keen sense of smell, evidenced by the fact that he could pick up the scent of Simone Magus, who was miles away from the location that he was freed from. He's also strong enough to lift over his head a phone booth with Yin Jackie and Uncle trapped inside it.

Although not stated, Spring Heel-Jack is technically immortal and cannot age while he is transformed into stone. This allowed him to live through multiple decades or even centuries. Whether or not this applies to his true form is unknown.

Weaknesses[]

Spring-Heeled Jack can be turned back into stone if he comes into contact with salt. The only way he could revert back to his normal form is by coming in contact with water (his stone form could also presumably be animated by the Rat Talisman, although it was never shown whether this would be possible).
