Editing Jack Slash (section)

==Trivia==
* [[Wildbow]] has speculated that if Superman (who is not part of the [[shardspace|shard network]]) somehow showed up in [[Earth Bet]], he would easily defeat Jack Slash.<ref name="Reddit superman">'''Superman arrives in brockton bay when leviathan hits. How does worm change?'''<br>[...]<br>'''Wildbow:''' Jack Slash gets stomped, Siberian gets found out and stopped, the worst major players get handled. - Wildbow on Reddit, [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/77707099 archived on Spacebattles]</ref>
* Wildbow provided a hypothetical [[trigger event]] for Jack that involved his mentally unbalanced parents shutting him inside a bomb shelter. With a one-way radio link, his father would gaslight Jack by convincing him a war was underway. Jack would then trigger upon exiting the shelter, seeing that the world was fine and having his entire reality challenged.<ref name="SB72">Jacob was a young trigger. His parents were a little mentally unbalanced, and they shut him inside a bomb shelter with a radio link to his father, who wanted to use it to instill Jacob with sufficient fear of the threats of the outside world. A one-way communication, feeding into and playing off his fears, gaslighting, convincing him a war was underway, it broke the boy, but he wasn't released when he was broken. He stayed. His parents left him in there, mostly because it was easier. In a twisted way, having a boy in the shelter to hear dad's words, it made Jacob the exact son they wanted.<br/><br/>He triggered on exit, his entire reality challenged on seeing that the world was fine.<br/><br/>Feels awkward, written that way, rather than outlined in a proper interlude. Ah well. Jack's most likely not going to get any more spotlights, so it's fine. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/15029301 Comment by Wildbow on Spacebattles]</ref>
* In [[Eden]]'s [[List of Possible Futures#Eden's Perfect World|intended world]], he would be affiliated with the Wardens.<ref>“We’ll need our Black Knight, Hannah,” Partisan said.  “We bait them into a fight, then sic him on them.  He’ll be able to win as long as it’s parahumans he’s fighting.  Colin’s squad flanks and infiltrates, my squad scouts and Clarent maintains a defensive line.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/12/interlude-29/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 29]]</ref> He would call himself the Black Knight because of his last name.<ref name="twig eName" />
