The original Jack was built by the Soviet Union in order to combat Kazuya's plans of world domination. With each itineration of the series, Jack is replaced by an upgraded version, with Prototype Jack being the only model to compete in multiple tournaments. Similar to Kuma (Character) and Ganryu (Character), Jack uses his arms to deliver crushing physical attacks. These moves often show his arms being utilized as drills, guns, and jackhammers. He has few kick attacks, mainly using his legs for powerful stomp attacks on grounded opponents. Due to Ganryu's absense in Tekken 3 (Game), Gun Jack in that game adopted some of the former's moves. His next iteration, Jack-5 in Tekken 5 (Game), lost them. The Jack-6 model in Tekken 6 (Game) can be customised to resemble previous models, including Prototype Jack with the 'PJ6' series of items.
