## Story

**With treats for his allies and tricks against the Fractured, Jack Skellington brings a uniquely spirited defense to the Mirrorverse.**
Tall
Scary
Royalty
Leader
*Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, is a curious, skeletal leader whose scare powers are only rivaled by his holiday spirit. He is now capable of conjuring incredible holiday gear mash-ups, which can inspire spirited vibes in those around him, whether they like it or not!*
### Mirrorverse Role

*Jack Skellington’s methodical curiosity and irrepressible enthusiasm for the holidays have both been amplified even further by Stellar Magic. Mixing and matching from his favorite holidays, Jack’s strange and wondrous creations spread mirth and mayhem wherever he goes. His fellow Guardians always rejoice when they see the Pumpkin King by their side, while the Fractured are filled with fear!*
### Battle Supplies

*Gliding gracefully across the battlefield, Jack uses his trusty contraption to mix and match elements of different holidays to see what happens! And should any Fractured get too close for comfort, Jack is ready to gift them with a sweet swat from an oversized candy cane.*
### Mirrorverse Abilities

*Jack delights in seeing his discoveries bring both cheer and fear in the Mirrorverse – raining down candy canes that heal his fellow Guardians and haunting spirits that trick the Fractured into losing their beneficial enchantments. With his unique and unexpected approach, Jack Skellington makes a spirited addition to any team of Guardians.*
## Design

“*Stellar Magic has boosted Jack's methodical curiosity! Conjuring bizarre, mashed-up holiday creations into usable gothic gear, he cheerily combines the festivity of Christmas with the horror of Halloween to inspire holiday spirit toward enemy and ally alike– whether they like it or not.*”
―*The World of Disney Mirrorverse,* pg. 145

Jack's design was meant to strike an exact balance between Christmas and Halloween, not looking too much like either. His Santa sack was decided upon early on, though ideas on how to implement it were varied until settling on his mishmashed gifts. The sack was finally given a dog-like shape as an homage to Zero.
