Jacket (Earth-505)

## Jacket

**"Jacket"** was the alias of a serial killing vigilante, hitman, and member of the Payday gang. He was renowned in the criminal underworld for allegedly wiping out the entire Russian mafia in Miami single-handedly.

He was the most notorious serial killer of the Miami Killer Beasts killing spree. Having signed up for the ultranationalist newsletter 50 Blessings, he began receiving threatening phone calls, urging him to murder targets in the Russian mafia.

## Biography

### Military Service

Jacket was formerly part of the Ghost Wolves, an elite United States special forces unit.

### Payday Crew

With the death of Ivan Lebedev, the patriarch of the Russian mafia, Jacket had effectively beheaded the Russian's entire chain of command in Miami. However, Jacket was adamant on continuing his violent vigilante crusade, though he couldn't stay in Miami for much longer due to the police manhunt that followed his massacre of a Miami PD precinct.

He set his sights on the capital, tracking down a loose end in the form of Grigori Beria, also known as the Commissar, a Russian mob boss in the D.C. area.

Traveling to Washington D.C. in search of the Commissar, Jacket came across Wolf while they were both attacking the same group of mobsters. Helping the unhinged heister torture a Russian mobster into giving them information on the Commissar's operations, the two made fast friends, and he was brought along to help the Payday gang hunt down and assassinate the Commissar.

Jacket brought the gang to the Commissar's motel in his DeLorean, assaulting the motel, killing his men, and destroying his property to keep the Russian threatening them long enough for Bain to trace his hotline. The next day, the gang were smuggled into the Commissar's hideout inside shipping crates retrieved from the motel's basement, catching the Russians off-guard as the gang proceeded to shoot their way into the Commissar's apartment complex, fighting mobsters and MPD tactical units alike.

Upon drilling open the Commissar's panic room on the top floor, Jacket landed a killing blow on the mobster with a burst from his Mark II. Following the assassination, Jacket disappeared, hunting down what remained of the Commissar's operation in D.C.

A year later, he managed to kill off the last of the mobsters who were formerly on Grigori's payroll, ending the Russian Mafia in D.C. Jacket was once again left without an enemy to fight, and though there were plenty more criminal organizations in D.C. to topple over, he thought back to the Payday gang. Despite his hatred for 50 Blessings, he realized that obeying instructions and murdering for a cause was far more his style than committing wanton violence. He was certain that Bain would provide him a new war to fight.

In order to gain the attention of Crime.net's leader, he tortured and killed an unknown number of MPD officers while carrying out hits for the organization. According to Bain, Jacket's unflinching approach toward over-the-top violence, much like Wolf's, would make him a valuable asset to Crime.net. Bain reached out to Jacket through his answering machine, and he was recruited into the Payday gang.
