Since the dawn of time, paranormal maniacal killers and the horror genre have had a symbiotic relationship. Jason Voorhees is undoubtedly one of the most horrifying horror villains, and his deadly spree has been witnessed several times as part of a very popular series. Jason, like ‘Friday the 13th,’ has developed with time.
His savage brutality, on the other hand, shows no signs of abating. Fans of horror films have adored him as the terrifying monster person who cuts merrily as the corpse count increases. He’s gone a long way since he drowned in the Crystal Lake, and despite countless movies and comic book stories, he’s still the dreaded mythological murderer.
But who is hiding behind that eerie mask? Is he just another lunatic with a bloodlust, or does he have a deeper personality? If you look into Jason’s lengthy mythology, you’ll discover some amazing details about his life. In this video, we provide a substantial piece of this terrible murderer – have a look at his abilities and consider how he can be put to rest for good! Yes, you read that correctly. The undead killing machine, Jason, can be permanently destroyed, and we’ll tell you how!
How does Jason possess bodies?
Before we get into his capacity to possess bodies, it’s important to understand why he’s classified as a Deadite. The Evil Dead’s Necronomicon Ex-Mortis makes a brief cameo in ‘Jason Goes to Hell.’ Jason is a Deadite, according to the filmmaker, Adam Marcus. While the film may not have been the finest in the series, it did ignite a fascinating discussion over Jason’s character.
After Jason is killed by the FBI, his body is sent to the morgue. His still-beating heart entices the coroner to eat it. Suddenly, his soul transfers from one body to another, and the massacre begins. It is discovered that only members of his bloodline can make him weak if he possesses them. The Necronomicon Ex-Mortis; the Book of the Dead is discovered by the protagonist at the Voorhees family residence. This is the same prop that you can find in the ‘Evil Dead’ films.
Even his niece Jessica’s dagger resembles the Kandarian Dagger from the Evil Dead movies. The rights to ‘Friday the 13th’ were sold by Paramount to New Line Cinema, and the filmmaker was apprehensive that the new owners would be on board with a clear link to’Evil Dead,’ because they did not hold those rights.
However, the implications are still quite clear. The narrative tries to imply that Pamela used the Necronomicon to resurrect her son, and this turned Jason into a Deadite. A Deadite can possess any form of life, and even take over the bodies of the dead. There are various methods for a Deadite to take over the host body, and one of them is a direct attack on the victim. A bite or a scratch, or even a simple touch can do the trick and the Deadite can possess the host.
How does Space change Jason’s anatomy?
We’ve all imagined Jason as a psychotic serial murderer or some type of undead creature. ‘Jason X’ introduced a new aspect to this heinous murdering machine. Fans have dubbed him “Uber Jason” because of how the tale portrays him as a cyborg. Jason’s options had all much run out at the studio, and sending him to space felt like the only thing left to attempt.
The movie starts with Jason Voorhees being captured by the US Government in 2008 for his mass murders. He is kept at the Crystal Lake Research Facility, but all the attempts to kill him fail. A scientist named Rowan LaFontaine has the idea of putting him in a state of cryogenic stasis, but there are others who want to research his abilities to heal rapidly.
In the course of events, both Rowan and Jason are frozen by Cryogenic fluid, and we move ahead 445 years. Humans now reside in Earth-Two, and on a trip to the Earth, find the frozen bodies at the research facility. One thing leads to another, and soon we have a cyborg-like Jason, doing what he does best! Even advanced technology and trying to lure him using holograms don’t work much, and he is as lethal as ever with a machete in hand.
His head and limbs were blasted off, and he was peppered with gunfire. Jason was reassembled by nano ants in the medical bay using debris from around the room. He transforms into a cyborg as a result, and he returns stronger than before. Bullets couldn’t hurt him since his flesh had been replaced with a metal material.
Even his strength seems to be enhanced, and he could knock down steel doors with a single punch. The biggest upgrade for Uber Jason was that he could survive invacuum, thanks to his modified mask. Eventually, the survivors contacted a rescue vessel, and finally, Jason was blown into bits by the explosion of the ship. Even then, his mask was intact, and it could be so that he still managed to survive!
Jason’s Powers That Make Him An Undead Killing Machine Explored
So, what is it about Jason that allows him to go about killing his victims like fleas? The fact that Jason possesses superhuman strength is one of the first things that must be acknowledged. His weapons of choice are not complex, and he never attacks his victims with guns or costly equipment.
A machete, or some crude weapon, or even his bare hands are enough to killfull grown humans. It has been implied time and again in the course of the franchise that Jason could impale his victims quite easily. He could crush someone’s head with his hands, and he could fling people around like they were soft toys! It is clear that he has incredible strength that no man can match up to.
As if that weren’t enough, he also has a high pain tolerance. He has shown human emotions after being stabbed in a few situations, although he has regularly endured injuries that would be fatal to others. Jason has gone through everything from being shot to being hacked as an undead monster, but nothing has been enough!
It is easy to dismiss Jason as a brute with no brains, but his strategies imply otherwise. Jason has been shown to be smart enough to stalk his victims following a proper plan, and his tactical sense is unquestionable. He is even found laying traps for his victims, and while you might doubt his intellectual capabilities, his instincts are spot on!
His extraordinary power morphed into supernatural strength once he was revived as a zombie. He did not consume his victims like zombies, implying that he preserved his human identity while acquiring zombie characteristics. The only thing deadlier than a zombie is a zombie with intelligence! That’s Jason for you! There have been hints in ‘Friday the 13th Part VIII’ that Jason has teleportation abilities as well, but the narrative did not confirm it directly.
Jason, in reality, becomes immortal after transforming into a revenant zombie. He doesn’t appear to age or be injured in any way. His wounds heal rapidly because of his regenerative powers, and he remains unaffected even by bullet or knife wounds. Jason could also be resurrected, and that is the last thing you want in the deadliest horror villain!
How can you keep Jason Voorhees dead?
You’re probably all wondering the same thing at this point! How are you going to make sure Jason doesn’t come back to life? Clearly, it will not be simple, but we feel there are a few things that may be done to assure that he is permanently gone.
For starters, given his capacity to occupy another body if his main vessel is destroyed, annihilation may not be the best option. The strategy should be to contain and isolate him, with no one within miles of him. He may be imprisoned in a bunker guarded by military people with impeccable morals. There should be no slip-ups in guard duty, and nobody should fall prey to the luring tactics of Jason.
The locks have to be way stronger than usual because of his unbelievable strength. Once he has been contained, the water of Crystal Lake can be collected in a giant tank, and he can be submerged inside it. We have seen that being trapped in these waters has some effect on him, and he should drown in that tank.
Water appears to be the single thing that makes him weak, and this might be his undoing. Various fans assume that the source of his abilities is somewhere around Crystal Lake, however, this is disputed in some narratives.
However, if we stick to this logic, the water of the lake can be drained out and his corpse fished out before it has the chance of being reanimated into a killing machine. The body can be thrown into an active volcano, and that should get the job done! It can also be decapitated and cremated, with the ashes buried in wet cement with holy water! Yeah, we went full Exorcism on this badass!
Finally, putting him in an inhospitable hostile environment someplace in the cosmos, or even better, flying him right into a black hole, could work! What is one Deadite psycho’s strength in the face of the universe’s most powerful force?
