shape

Jason Voorhees appears in the first part of the series as a disfigured child. In the second part and at the beginning of the remake he wears a potato sack (with a peephole) over his head. Since the film The Elephant Man was shown at the start of the second part , in which a potato sack is also used, and Jason should not have any resemblance to a true story, in the third part ( and again it's Friday the 13th ) he gets his legendary hockey mask, the he's been wearing it in every movie since then. In addition to the hockey mask, the machete has become his trademark.

Jason is above average tall and strong, but in the first films he was still more human.

personality

Jason is dumb and appears to be executing the people around the lake where he drowned. He has also built a shrine for his mother, who seems to have loved him as the only one.

history

Voorhees was annoyed as a child at the Crystal Lake holiday camp because of his disfigured face. He fell into the lake and drowned because the guards were busy and were not paying attention to him. His mother Pamela Voorhees then practiced vigilante justice and killed those responsible. 20 years later, on Friday the 13th, the camp is to reopen; thereupon the now mentally deranged Pamela Voorhees repeats the bloodbath and is beheaded by one of the girls.

Jason had to watch this from the lake. He then awakens from the dead and first kills the girl who beheaded his mother. Then he kills all the residents of the camp. In the fourth part he is killed again, but in the 6th part he is accidentally brought back to life. In the 9th part he goes to hell. Freddy Krueger later brings him back from hell in Part 11. In the 10th part (which is located chronologically after the 11th part) it is frozen, accidentally comes into space and centuries later kills the astronauts of a spaceship.
