Description[]

Jackson is a tall member of the Shadow Warriors who in the past was a heavyweight champion. What reason made him change his ways and put himself in service of such a vile organization is never explained, although he more than makes up to it by being one of their strongest members. He appears as the end boss of Mission 2, "The Airport", and then keeps appearing at least once per stage in following missions as a semi-regular enemy.

His attacks consist in a series of quick jabs that he finishes with a strong uppercut. As with most bosses (and being a former boxer himself), he tends to block a lot. Despite his size, he can be grabbed by the hair, although he will break free if he has enough health.

Even if it may not be too obvious, he can be arm-grabbed if the player blocks one of his jabs at the precise moment when he performs it, although it is arguable if there is any benefit in doing so, as the player may sustain unnecessary damage while trying to pull this feat off.

Additionally, Jackson has a very rare move that most players might never see. If the player stands at a relatively close distance from him and gets stunned, he will sometimes do a grab attack where he holds their head with one hand and starts punching their gut with the other four times in a row, with the last one knocking them down. However, the rarity for this attack to trigger stems in the fact that none of Jackson's attacks actually stun the player, they are all knockdowns. So, in order for this attack to potentially happen, the player must be stunned by another enemy and rely that it doesn't knock them down, and that Jackson is in the vicinity to finish the job.
