A decorated member of the U.S. Special Forces and a formidable close- kombat warrior, MAJOR JACKSON BRIGGS' current mission is to bring down the notorious criminal organization known as the Black Dragon. With Lieutenant Sonya Blade, he has seized many of their weapons caches. But when a trusted informant, Kano, was revealed to be a high-ranking member of the Black Dragon, JAX made Kano's capture his priority. Kano has gotten the better of JAX thus far, leading the Special Forces into numerous deadly ambushes. JAX and Sonya finally cornered Kano on an uncharted island but were overpowered by the island's inhabitants. They have now been forced into a sadistic ritual of bloody kombat.
Signature Moves
Energy Wave: Jax throws a wave of sonic energy at his opponent. In the CD versions of Mortal Kombat Trilogy, the "Classic" version of Jax can also throw this wave while in the air.
* The enhanced version is called Assault Wave and Jax fires two waves.
Ground Pound: Jax punches the ground, shaking the arena. In MK 2011, the distance and range can be controlled.
* The enhanced version is called Ground Quake and it sends his opponent flying back.
"Gotcha!" Grab: Jax grabs his opponent and punches him multiple times. In MK 2011, Jax only punches the opponent once and then knocks them away. There is also an Air Gotcha Grab for aerial opponents.
* The enhanced version is called Gotcha Beatdown which punches the opponent multiple times. The enhanced version of Air Gotcha Grab is Air Gotcha Blast.
Dash Punch: Jax moves forward at incredible speed to punch his opponent.
* The enhanced version is called Dash Fist. After the punch connects, Jax grabs the opponent, throws them up, grabs them violently by their face, and then slams them down. If you press and hold back, once he throws them up, he will turn around and fall on top of the opponent.
Back Breaker: Jax grabs his opponent in mid-air and slams down to the ground, resulting in the opponent's back breaking.
Overhead Smash: Jax jumps into the air and brings his elbow down onto the opponent's head.
* The enhanced version is called Elite Smash. After the elbow connects, Jax grabs the opponent and hits an inverted piledriver.
X-Ray Move - Briggs Bash: Jax throws his opponent into the air, then brings them down, breaking the stomach, back and legs, and then again on the higher end of the opponent's spine, heart, and ribs, causing them damage.
Fatalities
Smash And Grab: Jax claps his opponent's head off, then rips off the arms of his opponent. This is a combination of his Head Clap and Arm Rip Fatalities from MKII.
Three Points!: Jax bashes his opponent three times, burying them into the ground. After a little while, he kicks their head twice. The first one puts the opponent in a daze, and the second one launches the opponent's head off like a football. This move is similar to Sheeva's Fataltiy from MK3.
Babality: Jax becomes a baby and begins pounding the ground in a tantrum.
