| ~ One of Jason Lives' taglines |
| “ | Bite me, Jason's body would say if it spoke. But Jason has no need for speech. While not a strong suit, Jason might reach back in his early memory of rudimentary language, a thing of gasps, grunts and sudden fetal tyrannies in the manner of Richard the Third. Jason has no need for speech. He is Mr Fuck. The Endgame Man. The man who says, "This is the final fucking floorshow. It's over. You will never leave hell again." | „ |
| ~ Jason X: Death Moon |
| “ | There's a legend around here. A killer buried, but not dead. A curse on Crystal Lake, a death curse. Jason Voorhees' curse. They say he died as a boy, but he keeps coming back. Few have seen him and lived. Some have even tried to stop him... No one can. People forget he's down there, waiting... | „ |

Summary
Born in 1946, in the small town of Crystal Lake to Elias and Pamela Voorhees, Jason Voorhees had severe facial deformities, Hydrocephalus, and mental disabilities at birth. Pamela raised him on her own and homeschooled him, isolating him from the rest of the community. When he was 11, incapable of getting him a babysitter, Pamela took him to Camp Crystal Lake, where she worked. Here, he was bullied and tormented by his fellow campers and seemingly drowned when they threw him into Crystal Lake. Mad with grief, Pamela killed the counselors who failed to protect her son and prevented any from returning. However, Jason had actually survived, and after the death of his mother, Jason created a shrine in her memory, avenged her death, and took her place in preventing any from returning to Crystal Lake.

Stamina: Superhuman. Jason can survive and continue hunting and killing his prey even after taking injuries that would be lethal for others. Even as an ostensibly normal human, he was able to get up quickly after his collarbone was sliced through and recovered from having an axe blade slammed into his skull, going straight back to killing no worse for wear. As an undead human, his stamina becomes even greater, allowing him to walk through worse injuries without issue. In Freddy vs Jason, he continued to fight after having three of his fingers sliced off, both of his eyes gouged out, and being impaled in numerous places and slashed multiple times, getting up to land a final attack on Freddy after having his own machete shoved deep into his body and being set on fire. As a cyborg, his stamina becomes even higher. In Jason X: Planet of the Beast, he survived on Planet 666 for two weeks. Planet 666 is impossibly hostile to all life. Organic matter being exposed to the atmosphere causes it to disintegrate and turn into dust, the planet's average temperature fluxes between 0 and -196 degrees Celsius, there's no breathable atmosphere on the planet, the planet's condition changes every day, and even incredibly resistant microorganisms that can survive incredibly harsh conditions cannot survive on Planet 666.
Range: Standard Melee Range physically and with most weapon, Extended Melee Range with other weapons, Several Meters with throwing weapons and energy attacks, Hundreds of Meters with bows.
Standard Equipment: His signature Machete, among any other number of weapons, such as axes, spears, and pitchforks.
Intelligence: Average. Jason is capable of effectively tracking and killing his victims, using any number of weapons and tools as deadly weapons, and setting up basic traps. His intelligence was further enhanced after he was empowered and resurrected by Freddy in Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash. However, due to being legally mentally handicapped and never going to school, he highly lacks academic knowledge. Bodies possessed by the mask are shown to be intelligent enough to use firearms and more complex tactics. | Same as before, however, as an addition his nanomachines can give Jason new skills to help him if needed.[21]
Weaknesses: Being reminded of his mother can stop Jason in his tracks. Jason's resurrection does not allow him to rapidly recover from extreme trauma. | Same as before | He can be incapacitated by trapping him in the waters of Crystal Lake. When possessing others, only those with Voorhees blood will last and allow him to return to his true form, and his true form will still show in reflections, allowing others to deduce his identity. His resurrection can be broken if he's killed by someone with Voorhees' blood. When possessing others with his mask, his influence can be removed by removing the mask itself. | His nanomachines can absorb too much energy and short out. Jason will choose to not use some of his powers if they don't fulfill his need for destruction and violence.
Note: Friday the 13th lacks an official canon policy, the wiki is currently working off the proposal discussed here. Essentially the movies are treated as the primary and main canon, with secondary material being useable if it does not contradict the primary canon. This means that while works like the Jason X novels or certain comics are used in the profile, other media such as the NES video game or certain novels like Hate-Kill-Repeat are not listed, as they contradict the movies in some capacity and it was determined that they should not be included.
