His nickname in the English version of Art of Fighting 2 is “The Indestructible Musclehead”.

Story[]

Jack Turner is a member of Mr. Big's syndicate, and a developer of his own fighting style. One of Mr. Big's highest-ranking subordinates, he devastates anyone who crosses his path. Jack is also the leader of the South Town gang known as the Neo Black Cats. At some point in the past, he won a fight against King, sparking the latter’s hatred of him.

In Art of Fighting, he loses a fight with Ryo and Robert at Mac's Bar on their quest to save Yuri and then claims that he saw her taken to Chinatown. He is invited to the first King of Fighters tournament in Art of Fighting 2. Humorously, in the English version of Jack's ending in AOF2, it was revealed that he wanted to make the gang into a dance group.

Trivia[]

  • In one of the stages in The King of Fighters XIII, there is a poster with Jack's face on it advertising the Neo Black Cats. It would seem that he finally achieved his dream of turning them into an interpretive dance group.
  • His dislike of Chinese food likely stems from a US saying of how Chinese food never makes one full no matter how much one eats.
  • Jack was considered for inclusion in The King of Fighters XIV, along with John Crawley, however, they did not make the cut due to their lack of popularity.[1]
  • In the English translation of AOF2, Jack claims to be from Oshkosh, but this is not present in the Japanese script.
