Biography

Born into a family known for heroics Jerome Johnson came into life months after his father Jack in the Box 2 had died. He grew up blissfully unaware of his true lineage until the age of twelve. From then onwards he tried to emulate his deceased father and grandfather. Untrained but needing an edge he subjected himself to cybernetic enhancements to compensate and after each injury continued to modify his body until he was more machine than man. His cold and viscous bid to end crime did not work however it only lead to more violent outbursts from criminals. Feeling defeated and demoralized his unhinged mind came to a realization; he had not failed as a hero, his father Jack in the Box 2 had. He traveled back in time to kill his father for both abandoning him and failing to in his eyes protect the innocent and stop crime. Box met an alternate timeline version of himself called “The Jackson” both were defeated and jailed by their father Jack in the Box 2 before going back to his own time.
