Handsome Jack is a character in Gearbox Software's ''Borderlands'' video game franchise. Jack is the leader of the Hyperion Corporation, who takes control of the planet Pandora, and considers himself the hero of the story. Created to be the main antagonist of the "villain-centric" ''Borderlands 2'', Jack was conceived early on as a fellow Vault Hunter "frenemy" before being changed to an outright villain to make ''Borderlands 2'' clearer. As the main antagonist, primary concerns fell on making him balance both the seriousness and humour of the game. Dameon Clarke was chosen as the voice for the character. After his introduction in 2012's ''Borderlands 2'', Jack appears again in ''Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!'' and Telltale Games' ''Tales from the Borderlands''. ''The Pre-Sequel!'' revolves around Jack's rise to power, while ''Tales'' features Jack as a hologram who gets injected into the mind of one of the game's protagonists. Jack has been received positively as a villain, and Clarke won "Best Performance by a Human Male" at the 2012 Spike Video Game Awards for his role. ==Character== Introduced as the leader of the Hyperion Corporation, in his first appearance Jack and Hyperion have taken over the planet Pandora with Jack becoming a dictator,〔〔 putting up propagandist posters of himself around the planet.〔 Dialogue in ''Borderlands 2'' establishes his past as a "code monkey",〔 before taking credit for the Vault Hunter's actions in the first ''Borderlands''.〔 The character is depicted with two differently-colored eyes, giving him an asymmetrical design, as well as a mask of a face that covers his own, which is scarred with a Vault symbol that makes him look, ironically, like a bandit.〔 Focused heavily on bravado and looking good, Handsome Jack considers himself "the hero" on Pandora, with everyone else being a "bandit".〔 Gearbox considered Jack to believe everything he said, even the lies to himself such as over his treatment of his daughter, Angel, whom he essentially enslaves.〔〔 For instance, after Angel's death Anthony Burch commented "I think in Jack's mind, he's the protagonist in the cop movie where his daughter is killed and he goes on a rampage."〔 ''Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!'' establishes the character as initially having possibly good intentions, though ultimately becoming a villain.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Handsome Jack」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
