Fictional character biography

Origin

Jack grew up as a friend of Dan Ketch. He also studied the martial arts under sensei Yugi Watanabe. One day a motorcycle gang entered the garage where Dan and Jack frequented. They were on the run from Mister Hyde, and locked the two up. Dan turned into Ghost Rider and defeated the group as well as Hyde. Later, Jack and his sensei were targeted by Deathwatch. Jack was injured, and later abducted from the hospital. However, Ghost Rider was able to free him with the help of Yugi's son Brass (Sean Watanabe) and Wolverine. Some time later, Ghost Rider found himself assisted by the mysterious Shriker. Jack eventually revealed that he was Shriker. However, Dan asked him to stay out of the Ghost Rider's conflicts, as things were getting too dangerous.

After the superhero Civil War, Shriker was considered a candidate for the Avengers Initiative. It is unknown if he ever signed up as he was living in Canada and therefore outside of Tony Stark's jurisdiction.

Powers and abilities

Jack has extensive martial arts training and his weapons of choice are darts, shurikens, and the bō staff.
