Jack Spicer is a Fictional Character , and one of the major villains in the Animated Television Series '' Xiaolin Showdown ''. CHARACTER SYNOPSIS Jack Spicer is the self-proclaimed "Evil Boy Genius" that freed the witch Wuya from her puzzle box prison, that was given to him by his father from Hong Kong , and set off the events of Xiaolin Showdown . More of a comic relief figure than a villain, Jack Spicer wears a helicopter backpack and frequently constructs Robot Minions to accomplish his goal of World Domination . He also wears goggles that match Wuya's eyes (when she is a ghost). CHARACTER PERSONALITY The stereotypical evil mastermind is one of the things that Jack aspires to. He is vain about his intelligence and has a penchant for verbose taunts and theatrics, but try as he might he cannot quite fit this stereotype. Jack is inept at villainy, is afraid of the dark, lives in his parents' basement and is constantly referred to as whiny, as well as the unfortunate victim of his little cousin Megan. When Wuya left him for Mala Mala Jong, she refered to him as "a simpering, pathetic boy," to which he responded "Simpering? I don't simper, EVER...what's simpering?" Regardless, there are times when he can occasionally display flashes of cunning and ruthlessness that surprise his enemies and allies alike. It has however been implied that his evil nature is an attempt to compensate for his own insecurities. Also, It seems he has a crush on Kimiko, until he got rejected. CHARACTER HISTORY As stated previously, Jack Spicer released the Heylin witch Wuya from her prison. From then on, Wuya guided him to the Shen Gong Wu so he could covet them and use their power to achieve his goal of world conquest. However, he has always failed. This constant failure eventually led to Wuya leaving him in favour of Mala Mala Jong , and later Raimundo . During that time, he helped the Xiaolin Monks defeat her, but when captured constantly tried to get back into her good books. After her defeat, Wuya went back to helping Jack for a while, before eventually leaving him in turn for Raksha and then Chase Young . Jack has occasionally expressed interest in reguarding the chosen ones as friends, that is, when they're not hunting Shen Gong Wu. Lately, he seems to have changed for the better, having used two Shen Gong Wu called the Ying Yo-yo and the Reversing Mirror to leave his evil chi in a parallel dimension called the Ying-Yang world, although that did not last long. He used the Ring Of The Nine Dragons to split into two people, one good Jack staying behind to fight the Chi Creature while the other retrieved the chi of the monks stolen by the creature. One of the Jack's returned, although his chi was reversed back to evil. He was defeated by Dojo and the stolen chi was returned. Later on, Jack also played a major, if inadvertent role in freeing the demon Hannibal Roy Bean from imprisonment in the Ying-Yang World, reuniting with his good chi when the Xiaolin monks took the Ring Of The Nine Dragons from him. Jack is later a victim of the Sapphire Dragon as his robots were turned to sapphire. He then tries to retrieve the Shadow Slicer from a monkey cage at the zoo. Later events have Jack teaming up with Wuya and Cyclops after all three get swindled by Dojo's dragon friend, Chucky Choo, teaming up with Hannibal Roy Bean and getting turned into a zombie by the Zing Zom-Bone, and even playing a part in the monks' plan to stop Hannibal Roy Bean, Wuya and Chase Young. Currently he works alone, although he has partnered with Wuya on separate occasions to get Shen Gong Wu. Wuya still hates him, however, and once used the Ruby Of Ramses on him to use his body like a bludgeon against the Xiaolin monks. JACK SPICER'S ROBOTS
