Jax Briggs

Major Jackson "Jax" Briggs is a cybernetically-enhanced soldier who is the leader of the Outer World Investigation Agency (OIA), Earthrealm's Special Forces unit, in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. He made his debut in Mortal Kombat II.
=== Mortal Kombat: Special Forces ===
After a prison break at the Special Forces' detention facility, Jax, who was driving along a highway, received a transmission from his fellow Special Forces operative Gemini detailing the escape and the escapees: No Face, Tasia, Jarek and Tremor. She informed him that they had escaped to a warehouse on the town's south side, likely receiving assistance from an outside source. Jax surmised that source to be Kano, the Black Dragon leader. He received another transmission from one Lieutenant Sanchez, whose squad had arrived at the warehouse. After the transmission was cut off at the source, Jax arrived at the scene to find the squad massacred. For this, he swore he would achieve vengeance against Kano. Using prototype bionic implants on his arms in order to enhance his strength, Jax set out to find his enemy.
Infiltrating into the warehouse, Jax confronted No Face and dispatched him. Proceeding into the sewers, he eliminated Tasia. At this point, Jax contacted Gemini who informed him that the Black Dragon were using a corporate building as a front for their base of operations. At the building, Jax confronted and defeated Jarek, and his investigation led him to the town of the lost city of Sinkiang, where he defeated Tremor and discovered a portal to Outworld which Tremor had been guarding. Surmising that the portal was linked to Kano's plans of global domination, he entered. The portal led to Outworld, and Jax caught up with Kano, who had acquired an artifact called the Eye of Chitian through which he could acquire great power. After an exchange of words, the two fought, and Jax emerged victorious. He used the Eye's power to bring them both back to Earthrealm and brought Kano into custody, only to have the criminal escape at a later date. At this point, Jax ceased using his bionic implants.
=== Mortal Kombat II ===
Following the end of the Mortal Kombat tournament in which both the wanted Kano and Jax's friend, Lt. Sonya Blade, had entered, Jax came across the Earthrealm warriors, finding Johnny Cage in the waters close to the Special Forces Agency, and took him in for an interrogation on the whereabouts of Sonya. Cage explained the events that took place on the island although Jax didn't believe him until he received a video signal from Sonya, who was temporarily working with Kano to escape Outworld. As an apology to Cage for not believing his story, he visited him at a commercial shoot where Cage was attacked by Outworld forces. Jax fought against the Shokan, Kintaro, but their fight was interrupted when the Earthrealm warriors arrived to help. After helping Cage fight against the intruders, Jax traveled into Outworld once more to compete in the next tournament along with the Earthrealm warriors in hopes of finding Sonya.
Soon, Jax came to learn of the emperor, Shao Kahn's dark plans for Earthrealm. He was successful in freeing Sonya from the clutches of Shao Kahn and arresting Kano once again, though he eluded capture as soon as they had passed through the portal to Earth. Jax warned his government of the impending danger but would find himself frustrated, however, as not only did Kano escape back into Outworld, but the government did not believe the Major.
=== Mortal Kombat 3/Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3/Mortal Kombat Trilogy ===
Jax began to prepare for war covertly, and once more outfitted his arms with bionic implants. After helping foil Shao Kahn's attempt to permanently claim Earth as his own, Jax became the commanding officer of the Outer World Investigation Agency (OIA). They operated from an underground bunker, and had scouts in various realms, not only exploring and mapping them, but also looking for inter-realm portals that could lead to Earth: these needed to be destroyed.
=== Mortal Kombat 4/Mortal Kombat Gold ===
Sonya went missing once again on a mission to exterminate the last known member of the Black Dragon, Jarek. Soon Jax found that Sonya was led into battle against Shinnok, a fallen Elder God. He briefly assisted Raiden in defeating Shinnok in Edenia. During these events, he and Sonya found the Lin Kuei cyborg, Cyrax, malfunctioning and trapped in a desert. Returning with him to their home base, they reversed the automation process, restored his humanity, and gained a new ally.
Jax also found the Black Dragon member, Jarek, who he threw off a cliff, assuming that it would be the end of him.
=== Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance ===
Years later, trouble occurred again, his agents Kenshi and Cyrax lost in Outworld and the OIA underground facility was nuked into oblivion by the traitor, Hsu Hao. Soon after these events, Raiden summoned the Earthrealm warriors to the abandoned island of Shang Tsung and asked them to travel with him to Outworld to bring down the Deadly Alliance, Jax didn't hesitate. He used this trip as a cover to track down Hsu Hao and, once he caught up with the criminal, killed him by tearing out his artificial heart.
Afterwards, he was among the group of warriors who made a final stand against the Deadly Alliance of Shang Tsung and Quan Chi but was killed in the ensuing combat along with the rest of his allies.
=== Mortal Kombat: Deception/Mortal Kombat: Unchained ===
He, like his friends, was eventually found by Onaga and revived as a mindless drone, used to intimidate the survivors of his group before killing them outright.
After being released by Liu Kang's spirit, Jax joined the fight against the Dragon King, wanting to make him pay for all he had made him do.
=== Mortal Kombat: Armageddon ===
Sonya sent Jax to lead a team of Special Forces to search for survivors after destroying Sektor's Tekunin Warship, but they vanished and were captured by the Tekunin. His own cybernetic bio scanners sent out mysterious readings before contact is lost, and Sonya feared the possibility of Jax's death.
Later on, Jax joined the Forces of Light in the battle of Armageddon, he was able to break Quan Chi's leg in the fight before he was attacked by the emperor Shao Kahn. He, like many other kombatants, died during the battle. His corpse can be seen impaled on a spear in the introduction to Mortal Kombat (2011)
=== Mortal Kombat 9 ===
Jax was captured by Shang Tsung just before the beginning of the first tournament, which led Sonya to enter the tournament in an attempt to free him. When Sonya entered Goro's Lair, she found a badly injured Jax in one of the cells. Trying to free her partner, she was interrupted by Shang Tsung, who told her that he had been expecting her and that she was to face the elder Sub-Zero, of the Lin Kuei. Sonya defeated Sub-Zero and also fought Raiden, who used a flash of light from his eyes to help Sonya free Jax.
Sonya took Jax to the Courtyard, where she faced Kitana and Jade while they waited for help. Sonya defeated both women just as the rescue chopper arrived, only for it to be shot down by Shang Tsung, who remarked that Sonya had been challenged by Kano. Sonya defeated Kano, but Shang Tsung refused to let her take him prisoner. Raiden, Johnny Cage, and Liu Kang then appeared. While Johnny explained everything to Sonya, Raiden used his powers to heal Jax's wounds, and both Sonya and Jax agreed to assist the Earthrealm warriors in the Mortal Kombat tournament. Jax witnessed the death of the elder Sub-Zero at the hands of Scorpion, and later, Liu Kang's victory over Shang Tsung.
Later on, Jax attended the ceremony for Liu Kang at the Wu Shi Academy, and after the ceremony, he was talking to Raiden when a rejuvenated Shang Tsung appeared with a new offer from the emperor himself.
Shao Kahn wished to realize a single tournament that would decide Earthrealm's fate. When the Tarkatans attacked the academy, Jax attempted to save the people, but was overwhelmed by several Tarkatans and knocked unconscious. When he woke up, Raiden, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, and Kung Lao were watching over him, but he noticed that Sonya was missing. He was informed that she had been captured by Shang Tsung, and he immediately made it his primary objective to find her.
Jax was partnered with Raiden and Johnny Cage, while Liu Kang and Kung Lao tried to free their Shaolin masters. He was put in the first fight of the second Mortal Kombat tournament against Baraka, who he defeated. Before Shang Tsung could start the next fight, he received a message from Reptile that stopped him. Raiden, Johnny Cage, and Jax then teleported to the Armory after one of Raiden's visions showed him Sonya sentenced to be executed. Johnny Cage, harboring an attraction for Sonya, questioned Jax about his relationship with her, to which Jax stated that he was her commanding officer, nothing else. Jax became increasingly angered by Johnny's gloating and they got into a fight, which was put to an end by Raiden. Jade appeared soon afterwards and demanded that the three warriors leave. Jax fought Jade and defeated her. After rendering Jade unconscious, Johnny and Jax patched things up and the three continued their quest to find Sonya.
They finally located Sonya by the Dead Pool, being guarded by Sheeva and her guards. After killing one of the attacking guards and jumping over the rest of them, Jax fought and defeated Sheeva while Johnny and Raiden dealt with the guards. He was then able to free Sonya, repaying the favor from earlier. Sometime later, during the Outworld Tournament, Jax and Sonya found Sub-Zero, to their surprise as they saw him dead in the previous tournament. Sub-Zero then reveals that he was the younger brother of the Sub-Zero they knew. Suddenly Ermac appeared, and Jax tried to attack him, but got his arms torn off by Ermac. Sub-Zero fought and defeated Ermac, and told Sonya about a portal to go back to Earthrealm.
Later on, Jax reappeared with his mechanical arms, having reprogrammed the newly automated Sub-Zero, who regained his humanity. Jax appeared periodically with the Earthrealm warriors, and does not participate in any more fights, until they were ambushed by the Lin Kuei cyborgs and Sindel. Jax was one of the many warriors killed by Sindel, having had Sindel's heel stabbed through his throat.
Jax is one of the many heroes resurrected and enslaved by Quan Chi. He was the first Quan Chi sent to kill Raiden in the Netherrealm, but was defeated..
== Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, Part II ==
Jax was seen being overmatched by his returning opponent, Komodai. He spat out acid onto his metal arms, disabling them, and leaving him vulnerable, until Kung Lao ambushed the sneaky Saurian with his razor-brimmed hat. He was spared with the other Kombatants and took a Dragon Jet with Sonya to their hidden base.
Jax was seen again in the main chamber discussing how the younger Aiko changed their lives, even though she had to leave just before her older self arrived. He was discussing the fact that she was the heart of the team, like Nightwolf, even stating he should use his early childhood trigger of being the fattest kid with the "blubber butt" as motivation to become the strongest brute ever! That was after the incident involving the gem of Tetsurri, and Aiko assured him she'd seen worser people. Jax remembered her encouragement and he wondered if Sonya had a relationship with Johnny Cage. With Raiden dismissing the team, Jax suggested for Sonya to meet him since their mission wasn't the same as he wasn't summoned.
The good news was the Special Forces agents caught up to Johnny, but not without the cost of relieving their duties since their CEO never believed in defending other realms. The heroes were hapless against Motaro and his extermination squads as they witnessed Cage's decapitation. They managed to escape via Dragon Jet as it headed to the East Coast following the readings of Kahn's new Fortress. He piloted the ship, especially when he made full throttle to save Liu Kang from falling off the balcony of the Bell Tower while Asgaarth saved Kitana. They made camp and he and Sonya unveiled what transpired. He assured hopefully Johnny'd be resurrected, even though they still needed to defend Earth.
By dawn, the quartet headed across the Bridge, and he was unsettled by the uncomfortable silence, Jax broke it saying he can give nine lives and it still wouldn't be enough for the salvage mission. Liu said to just be grateful the team's still alive, to which he shrugged off. They were soon ambushed by Mileena and Baraka, the Tarkatan generals of Kahn's extermination squads. He and Sonya dealt with the advancing warriors while Liu faced the latter and Kitana dealt with her twisted sister. By the time they were decimated, the army became too overwhelming! He ordered the team to evacuate to the distant end of the bridge while Jax conjured as much strength as he could muster before making the formation collapse 50 feet below! With the enemies slaughtered, they advanced to the Fortress.
They met up with their other teammates in the abandoned subway tunnels and caught up, even with Raiden hospitalizing inside the Jinsei Chamber. If the Jinsei should lose its healing vitalities, so would Earth and Outworld and Raiden shall forever be powerless. Jax remarked are they really ready to die. Sub-Zero replied that if they should perish, they will in battle together. The team began to walk on Death's door.
Jax was a lion as the army of Animalities fought back Kahn's extermination squads. He eventually turned back, and he came to Kung Lao's aide before he was at the mercy of Motaro! Since he had no projectile moves for the beast to deflect, and mostly relied on close kombat, Jax was the brute and won over the fatal Centaur despite the claustrophobic Balcony! Unfortunately, he was too late on saving Kung Lao...
Luckily, upon Liu Kang destroying Kahn by his Pit III's blades, he and his team escaped the collapsing Tower! However, he and Sub-Zero were unable to remove the rubble from the exit as the monk was escaping, but he was ecstatic once he saw the main hero emerge from a random portal conjured by Raiden! Later on, Sonya and Jax were glad to be reinstated in the Special Forces, after they mourned over the loss of Johnny. In light of the recent invasion by the Centaurs, they became aware of destruction by other realms.
== Shinnok's Uprising ==
Jax contacted Sonya as she failed to chase after Jarek in Shanghai, which there were some interdimensional fluxes in Edenia. It's implied he became the head of the Special Forces' subsidiary branch, the Outer World Investigation Agency.
He then created a portal leading into Edenia at some point, only to have Jarek follow after him. Unfortunately, Jarek was the one who found Sonya first and forced her off a cliff! Jax then confronted him in a neck lift and dragged him over to the edge! He disregarded all of Jarek's pleas from upholding the law and committing police brutality, even though to him it was considered a Fatality! He dropped Jarek fifty feet down, and his bleeding body sank into the lake! He was relieved that Sonya was saved by Kung Lao's teleport, then he was offered to carry a weak Cyrax after he created a portal leading to Earthrealm. He wished Sonya and the heroes luck against Shinnok.
Aiko mentioned to Sonya and Johnny that Jax had a daughter named Jacqui while also going in a downward spiral after his wife was killed. Sonya was summoned by Jax who made a successful experiment on restoring Cyrax's humanity!! He decided to work for the forces of Earth and refused to return to the Lin Kuei.
== Mortal Kombat: Vengeance ==
It has been mentioned by Sonya to Kung Lao and Aiko that Jax has found a girlfriend named Vera. After about a year, he was coincidentally engaged to her, just as how Sonya was engaged to Johnny! He also happened to be stranded in Outworld, as an OIA scout, when Sonya pointed out the Special Forces lost contact with him, Cyrax, and Kenshi.
By the time the heroes crossed over from Earthrealm to Outworld via Celestial Portal, they landed within the dormant Living Forest. Kung Lao chased after an ominous figure blending into the darkness, and he caught a shimmer. The distant stranger turned out to be Jax! Sonya was excited to reunite with him, and he informed he lost contact with the Special Forces while also being stranded over the last few days; she grew worried on losing contact with the OIA back in headquarters, and they believed the Red Dragons were responsible. They became anxious to take down Hsu Hao, and Jax summarized he could've sworn he saw Cyrax as he noticed a goldenrod glimmer, before some large bat swooped down and lost the luster. He was also relieved to arrive at the Edenian Palace and recruit allies such as Kitana and Jade. He was impressed that Lao was ballsy breaking the tragic news to them, countering Johnny's remark on how foolish he was. He left with Sonya and Nightwolf as they offered Lao and Aiko to pass the intel involving the Deadly Alliance.
While the heroes were preparing for their journey, he irritatingly questioned where the hell they should go; Lao asked Nightwolf to see if he could sense the immense darkness, where the Deadly Alliance were stationed, as he did with Kahn's Fortress a few years ago. Nightwolf pointed to the northwest, the same location of the Wastelands. As the group was heading thru the plains fighting the Onis, he covered Sonya from them along with Johnny. He also took in Sonya's advice for the heroes to traverse straight thru the Wastelands instead of taking the tree lines, as the terrain was easier to go thru, and they wouldn't be ambushed as much, not to mention that it's possible Jax can uproot the trees and make them topple over. He then followed a sudden aftershock, and came up to Lao, Aiko and Bo' Rai Cho! He too was disgusted on him abandoning the Shaolin and being banned from the Academy, not even no longer looking out for Lao and Liu! He, along with Johnny and Jade, defended Aiko and Lao their friends got their backs.
The heroes arrived within the Lost Tomb, and he, Lao, Hanzo and Kuai volunteered to wreck the sarcophaguses of Onaga's undead followers waiting to rise again after the Dragon's death by Kahn. Upon Aiko's cry of an oncoming enemy, Lao drew Moloch from the shadows, and soon Drahmin. Jax volunteered to assist Hanzo against the Onis, overmatching the burly beast! Thanks to Hanzo's resourcefulness they won over, and Jax and Sonya then grew concerned while Drahmin brought up Cyrax. Fortunately, they never had the same fate, and he warped away without giving the group answers. Nightwolf traced the dark auras before they traversed thru the Sarna Ruins.
Jax didn't have much difficulty traversing thru the desert, not even when the journey was compromised by a tornado. Jax was impressed over Kung Lao's stunt, and he was more ecstatic as he reunited with his missing associate, Kenshi! He even assisted the escape from the Makeba as he stunned them by a major quake while Kenshi stole the Dragonfly. They escaped, and Jax took the helm on account on his colleague's disabilities.
He and Sonya were the ones who spotted the familiar golden glimmer, and she instantly knew it belonged to Cyrax! He landed the ship near the dormant volcano and followed the bot into its tepid maul. Jax, however, stayed put as the heat became too much while the cryomancers took over. He was relieved Hanzo returned with the weakened Kuai, assured that the defective Cyrax returned to Earthrealm safely. He was also surprised that Baraka volunteered to join the cause.
Jax was one of the lucky escapades of the doomed Dragonfly, courtesy of Kung Lao's Teleport and Nightwolf's ritual on healing. He later assisted Kenshi when the group emerged near Shang's Palace as a brutal punishment to the betrayal by Hsu Hao. Luckily, he had a less difficult time than Kenshi as he endured Hsu's lethal Sun Moon blades including the vortexes which were as minor as Lao's Tornado Kicks. Jax was also geared up, contrary to the usual bare chest, and he was also able to tear out Hsu Hao's artificial heart, before Aiko made it explode! Jax was successful in assisting Kenshi against the destructive Mavado, and his brute strength was enough for Kenshi to slew him within his psychokinesis spewing out his eyes!
Jax stuck by Sonya, Johnny and Kenshi as they tried to brainstorm who should assist Kung Lao against the Deadly Alliance. He stuck with the team as they got their hands full of Tarkans, and after the gruesome fight, he dreaded as much as Sonya on heading back to the Celestial Portal. Fortunately, Johhny was the first to observe the Nethership hidden bleakly! He declared a bon voyage and Raiden and Fujin powered up the vessel airborne to the portal leading to Earthrealm.
Jax was dismayed of the OIA base being destroyed by the same rocket Hsu Hao used to shoot down the Dragonfly. He also hoped that Edenia would make more airships like it, as their most advanced form of transport. And he was dead certain it was no equipment failure, since the Dragonfly was primitive and not as combustive as modern jet engines.
== Mortal Kombat: The Return of the Dragon King ==
Thru the portal Sonya created via Special Forces equipment, he along with several other Kombatants, rushed thru it leading to Shang Tsung's Palace where the God brothers were fighting against a monstrosity named Onaga, the resurrected Dragon King! Lao took on the offensive first, but it wasn't long before he was wounded. Lao summoned Liu Kang's fiery dragon spirit back into the amulet before it was decimated, when Sonya, Jax, Johnny, Kitana and Nightwolf got involved. Needless to say, their efforts were futile, and Raiden was too weak from the scrimmage. All he did was observe the Thunder God conjure lightning into himself! Fujin knew what was coming and before the fighters knew it, they were each caught in the explosion decimating the Palace and leaving only a scratch on Onaga!
Jax was one of the undead enforcers employed by the Dragon King. After Kitana and Tanya failed to protect Onaga's corpse, they still gave him the material needed to unite the Kamidogu into one. Jax was one of the assassins as he and Sonya invaded the Sun Do village, forcing the weak people to unveil the location of the last Kamidogu. He still functioned as one of his soldiers amongst the Tarkatans and the Seido fanatics as they marched en route to Edenia. He and Sonya got the sudden intel from the undead Johnny imprisoned in Earthrealm and once they download the coordinates, they'll contact Onaga.
Unfortunatley their plans were halted by the 2 Chameleons and the Edenian Resistance within the Living Forest and across the plains. Jax made his move by conjuring an earthquake, in which Frost signaled to jump, and had his hands full with the Centaurs and Shokans. He was eventually able to incapacitate them until Chameleon intervened with his invisibility, acid spray, and skilled combat. He bested Jax when he made a direct hit to his bare abdomen and corroded his bionic arms; he then wound up within a heap of fallen trees after he was taunted, he wasn't so tough with his revenancy.
He was then taken to the Jinsei Chamber where he recovered with Sonya, Johnny and the infantry. He soon waited for the Shaolins' fates and was happy to see his friends reunited and in one piece.
== Final Kombat ==
Jax was hanging out in the reformed Special Forces base with Sonya, Johnny and Cyrax preparing for the Battle of Armageddon. After receiving intel from Raiden's summons, in which the faction and Fujin were late for, he convinced Vera and she understood the predicament. He still hoped that their daughter, Jacqui, would be brought into the world once it's over. And he boasted they won't go far without him and his tough-as-nails bionic arms! Stryker and Kabal soon met up with the quartet and were willing to join the cause.
He then rode on the Netherwing en route to the southern crater and he assisted the heroes, although he was taken off guard by Hsu Hao's laser assault. He soon recovered and fought against Quan Chi when he saved Sareena. He summoned some undead legions in which he plowed thru, the Oni then teleported and struck him from behind. He was then caught in a scrimmage against Moloch while Johnny clashed against Drahmin. It was fortunate he survived via Liu's fire cocoon over Blaze's eruption and by Cetrion's tears recuperating his deep wounds.
At the new SF base, he was discussing with Johnny and Sonya of their upcoming daughters, Cassie and Jacqui. Vera was also relieved since Armageddon passed. Several years later, he still joined the Special Forces with his daughter aboard a Black Hawk en route to Kotal's assault!
== Trivia ==
* He was chosen as one of Ikran's Black Characters in Video Games; he was handpicked by default since even though there were other choices like Tanya, Sektor or Jade, he won over them! Especially by the fact he was portrayed by Dorian Harewood in Defenders of the Realm and Lynn Red Williams in Annihilation!
** FUN FACT: Dorian Harewood was also the VA of the soulful Biker Mouse, Modo! It was so awesome that Ikran picked him on the same list and mentioned both roles as special honor!
** In fact, he was automatically chosen as Ikran's ideal VA for him in her fanfic!
