“ | You got a mission? Don't sweat it. We'll crank it up to Jacks-imum overdrive! Jack attack! | ” |
The Mad Jacks are a group of high-tech mercenaries with a peculiar extreme way of operating. They debuted in "The Impatient Patient".
Description[]
The Mad Jacks are a professional group of elite shadows ops who formerly worked as mercenaries, being very expensive to employ and working for the highest bidders, but once a mission was given to them, they guaranteed success and havoc, calling it awesome. The group has their own website and rock theme song. The "official" name of their company is The Mad Jack's, LLC. Their website also has a disclaimer where they state they will not be held responsible for the havoc they cause and will charge for jet fuel and passports, among other things. They also stated that their lifestyle is not for everyone.
Members[]
The Jacks are fanatics of action and extreme stuff, being described as a "high octane action team". During their missions they communicate with each other and somehow don't confuse one another even though they all share the same name. According to Greg Jack, they use the same name for "team cohesion".
- Greg Jack: The first Jack—whose real name is Greg—might be the leader of the team as he is the one who commands the other two the most and talked with Obake personally. He actually dislikes being called Greg, calling Hiro "cold" when he did. He is a blond, Caucasian man with a darker beard than his hair.
- Jaq: The second Jack (credited as Jaq) is the only female member and appears to be close to the third Jack, as both are mostly seen together. She is perhaps the strongest Jack since she could lift a weight made of two large truck wheels. Jaq has tan skin who shaved the right side of her head but has long hair on the left side and wears red lipstick.
- Jack: He is the only Jack who has no other known name/alias. He is possibly the brains of the group, seen when he was working on some sort of machine while on their ship. He is a dark-skinned bald man who also has a beard and is noticeably more muscular/large than the other Jacks.
All Jacks appear to be around the same height, and wear red-black-grey armors that look almost identical. They also wear orange visors with a comm-link to talk to each other.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Infiltration skills: Being shadow ops, they can sneak and infiltrate places all while being silent. However, Greg Jack accidentally dropped a skylight while trying to get into a warehouse to meet Obake.
Equipment[]
- Armor: They all wear nearly identical high-technology armors that not only protect them but also have gear that helps them during their job.
- Visors: Orange tinted visors that they wear, most likely to prevent dust and other air particles from getting in their eyes while flying.
- Comunicators: The visors include a microphone to communicate with each other.
- Wrist cannon: A small gun that shoots lasers, hidden in their armor's wrist.
- Hidden compartment: Like its name implies, it is a secret small compartment in the opposite wrist where Greg Jack kept the black market chip.
- Visors: Orange tinted visors that they wear, most likely to prevent dust and other air particles from getting in their eyes while flying.
- Jetpacks: Not attached to their armors, the team sometimes wear jet turbines when they are required to fly. They charge for jet fuel when they're hired.
- Parachutes: They can turn the jets into parachutes to land silently.
- Hook cannons: Jaq and Jack used hook cannons to hold Alistair Krei's yacht still when they attacked him the first time.
- Laser cannon: Greg Jack used one until it was destroyed by Hiro's robot-self.
- Taser: Greg Jack used it against Hiro's robot but was quickly crushed by Baymax.
- Flying ship: The Mad Jacks have a flying ship that has the same color scheme as their armors. They were seen in it when they captured Alistair Krei.
History[]
Season 1[]
Obake sold Alistair Krei a chip and hired the Mad Jacks to steal it from him. The team ambushed Krei while on his Kreifisher yacht, but were stopped by Fred, Hiro and Baymax, who happened to be on night patrol. Later, Fred investigated them and found they were a mercenary team with their own theme and website. The Jacks went to Krei's office to abduct him, but Krei had upgraded his windows by making them impermeable (possibly because his office had been attacked previously by Globby and later Momakase). Two of the Jacks crashed against the window without breaking them, but the other Jack broke through the lower floors and got Krei.
Hiro, who had gotten sick, was told to stay in bed instead of fighting. He, however, heard a police report and decided to go out alone to face the Mad Jacks. Out on the street, he saw Greg Jack taking away Krei, and followed them in a scooter until the other Jack grabbed him. Noticing Baymax was absent, Jack dropped Hiro in a trash bin, giving him a fracture in the process. Later, the Jacks and Krei were at their ship floating in the sky. Krei attempted to escape and almost fell, but a Jack grabbed him. The team then told him to just give the chip and Krei did. So, the Jacks then dropped him by leaving him hanging from an antenna at the top of his office.
The Jacks parachuted on a warehouse where they met their employer, Obake. Obake met with Greg Jack, who gave him the chip. Krei had called Big Hero 6 and Obake noticed they were looking for the Mad Jacks. Greg Jack quickly thought of a plan where the Jacks would take on the team while Obake escaped with the package, but Obake instead told them to secure the chip until Big Hero 6 was neutralized. The Jacks agreed but were then beaten by Big Hero 6 and a newly-made remote-controlled robotic Hiro, since the real one was unable to be in the fight due to his illness and injury. Jack had to give the chip to the Robotic Hiro and Jack was captured until the other two Jacks saved him and the three Jacks went away.
Ironically enough, by failing at their mission, they actually succeeded as it was Obake's plan from the beginning to use them only to make Krei paranoid and plug the chip in his computer.
Season 3[]
By the time of the events from "The Hyper-Potamus Pizza-Party-Torium", Big Hero 6 had moved into a new base where they trained to improve their teamwork skills by using simulations of their previous foes, including the Mad Jacks. They also mention how they hadn't seen them in a while now.
They also kept their information stored in Basemax's villain database.
It is later revealed in "Go Go the Wooweroo" that the Mad Jacks had since become the hosts of a kids' show named Bright Lights, Loud Noises. Yet, Jaq is absent from the displayed picture.
Trivia[]
- "Greg" Jack is voiced by Rob Riggle, Kevin Michael Richardson voices the second Jack, and Kerri Kenney voices Jaq.
- They appear to be based on the Bonsai Bombers, who were characters created for the film but were ultimately scrapped.
- It's known that one of the Mad Jacks has a different real name (Greg), but on the other hand it's unknown if the female Mad Jack's real name is actually "Jaq" or if she has a different real name and was only nicknamed Jaq to differ her from her male teammates—although this is unlikely because Greg Jack mentions they're all called Jack for team cohesion. Meanwhile there's the third "Jack" who is never called by any other name, so it's unknown if he also has a "real" name or if his actual name is Jack.
- It's also possible that Jaq is just a different spelling shown in the show to make it less confusing while crediting the voice actors.
- The Mad Jacks can be seen briefly in the series intro for Season 1 in a small hexagon when Hiro expands his hands.
- The Mad Jacks are completely absent in Season 2, and by far, their appearances in Season 3 have only been through simulation and pictures.
