While we havn't seen Jax yet, most people (though not all) believe that he has become one of the worst characters in MK history.

Now I liked Jax alot in MK2, what with the backbreaker, the gotcha grab, the muscle fexing victory pose, and the arm rip fatality just to name a few. That said, a string of uninspired storylines, coupled with bad looks (seriously, a gold chain with the dragon logo? is that supposed to be "street?") and derivative moves have made Jax into one of the most stagnant characters in MK. Most believe that he should take MK:D off. But many seem to believe that he'll be in MK:D regardless.

That said, what would you do to improve Jax? Could be anything from storyline to look to moves, whatever.

Personally, I would give him a unique, non-Sonya related storyline. I would get him away from the special forces entirely. Something like this:

"Disgraced by his inability to rescue Sonya from the clutches of the Deadly Alliance, Jax is wracked with guilt by the death of his secret love. The former military icon left both his cybernetic implants and his pride on the battlefield. Gone are his days with the special forces, as he now roams the realms, a mentally and physically scarred bounty hunter, who claims allegience to neither side. For the first time since his struggle with evil began, Jackson Briggs walks alone."

Name: Briggs (no longer Jax)
Nationality: Order Realm
Allies: Scorpion
Enemies: Havik, Onaga, Rayden
Fighting styles: Judo and Thai
Weapon: Latched short swords
Look: left side of face has three scars running diagonal from cheek to ear. Hair is short and starting to grey. Sunglasses are box shape and much smaller than his larger sunglasses he wore in MK:DA. He has a small salt and pepper colored beard on his chin. Black boot cut jeans, a string of bullets over his shoulder, a black and purple shoulder pad on the other shoulder, with a black piece of fabric that runs across his chest, underneath his arm, and around his back. There should be a knife sheathed on the middle of his back. He should also have two small swords latched onto the palms of his hands. They are facing in towards him when he's in his hand to hand stances, but they fold out when he goes into is weapon stance. The knives should be able to rotate 360 degrees as he swings them.

What would you do to improve Jax? What would make you like him again if you don't now?
