7	''[[http://fancyadventures.com/ The Fancy Adventures Of Jack Cannon]]'' is a webcomic that is written and drawn by Jamie Anderson.
8
9	Until recently, Jack Cannon has been home schooled. His life changed drastically when he started going to High School.
10
11	On his first day in High School, Jack becomes friends with two girls named Angel and Cindy. He also got to know the resident JerkAss Craig, who is a [[TheCracker Hacker]], and not the usual kind of hacker. No, ''these'' hackers are people who hack ''[[RealityWarper reality]]''. Jack is going to have some serious problems...
12
13	-----
14	!!Contains examples of:
15	* AccidentalTruth: Angel telling Craig that Jack is "the most badass fighter ever" in hopes it will save his skin.
16	* ActionGirl: Lilly and Crystal. Angel qualifies as well, to a lesser extent.
17	* ActionMom: Jack's mother is a professional bodyguard. And [[strike:probably]] almost certainly some sort of ninja.
18	* AnswersToTheNameOfGod: When Frankie gets teleported to the hacker base in a straightjacket.
19	-->'''Frankie:''' Oh god oh god oh god...\
20	'''Gavin:''' Please stop calling me that.
21	* AntiMagic: Pretty much the only reason [[spoiler:Jack]] isn't dead.
22	* ArtEvolution: The art changed from more of a cartoony style to a more realistic one.
23	* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Principal]] and Gavin
24	* BadassFamily: The Cannons are all some sort of super soldiers.
25	* BadassInDistress: Max, the principal, and Jack himself are all put in this position briefly. [[spoiler: After her scarf is taken away, Crystal ends up in the same situation.]] For the majority of the cast, this trope is in effect whenever they end up in distress.
26	* BadassNormal: Jack Cannon himself.
27	** One might argue that with recent developments that he has become an EmpoweredBadassNormal, but [[spoiler: since his only power is that he at least partially negates any and all hackings in the area,]] it could be argued that he's so badass normal that [[spoiler: he normalizes everything around him.]]
28	* BigBad: Gavin.
29	* BigOlEyebrows: Jack, and to a much greater extent Max.
30	* BlessedWithSuck: The 4th type. Jack's extreme fighting prowess has gotten him the attention of all the wrong people.
31	** He can also [[spoiler: shrug off any hacks aimed at him]] but it puts massive stresses on his system and will kill him if he's pushed too far.
32	** The comic has explored what happens if you [[spoiler: put a person who unconciously negates hacks into a space station hacked into existence.]]
33	* BrainUploading: [[spoiler:Hacker leader Gavin]] tried to make a backup copy of [[spoiler:his]] mind before attempting to hack [[spoiler:his]] cancer away. Things didn't go as planned.
34	* ButtMonkey: Lipbite. He keeps getting beat up, amusingly.
35	* CharacterBlog: Max Facepuncher has a [[http://twitter.com/MaxFacepuncher twitter]].
36	** And it is GLORIOUS!!!
37	* CurbStompBattle: Jack's EvilKnockoff never stood a [[http://fancyadventures.com/2011/12/05/page-350/ chance]].
38	* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: [[spoiler: what happened to Gavin after he'd uploaded his personality to the server.]]
39	%%* DamselInDistress: This happens a lot.%%To whom? Please add context/zce
40	* TheDeterminator: Max, on a [[http://fancyadventures.com/2010/09/03/page-224/ couple]] [[http://fancyadventures.com/2010/11/19/page-242/ occasions]].
41	** Jack. The dude punches through 20 feet of dirt after being buried by a stone golem thing.
42	* DistressedDude: Happened briefly with the principal in two early stories. [[spoiler: Jack's father and Max]] were also put in the state.
43	* TheDragon: Grin to Gavin
44	* ElaborateUndergroundBase: a subversion in that its not actually underground, but the Mega Intelligence secret ''desert'' base seems plenty big and elaborate.
45	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Grin doesn't like hacking people. Gavin is willing to listen to her. The underlings don't seem to share the sentiment.
46	* EvilKnockoff: See CurbStompBattle above.
47	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: No prizes for guessing what Max Facepuncher's specialty is.
48	** To be fair, he doesn't JUST punch faces.
49	* ExtremityExtremist: Max '''Facepuncher'''.
50	* TheFaceless: [[strike:Anonymous]] Gavin's Hackers. Not to mention Gavin himself. Unlike the other hackers, his "mask" covers his entire body.
51	* FlatWhat: Jack does one when informed that Craig "is.....a....HACKER!"
52	* FlechetteStorm: [[spoiler:Gavin]] tries using one of these...which Jack [[http://fancyadventures.com/2012/01/16/page-357/ is rather happy about]] and proceeds to ''thank him''.
53	* FrameBreak: Jack has to break the panel frame to escape when [[http://fancyadventures.com/2011/12/02/page-349 Gavin contracts it around him]].
54	* GlassCannon: Unlike Max Facepuncher, Crystal has a ScarfOfAsskicking, but little actual physical power.
55	** This probably applies to the hackers as well. They all get taken out very easily, but their [[RealityWarper reality warping]] powers prove very effective when they're used intelligently. Most of the defeated hackers have been taken out with a single hit.
56	* GovernmentAgencyOfFiction: Mega Intelligence
57	* HighHeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:While she tried to kill Jack earlier, Grin eventually can't take it anymore and refuses to murder Max.]]
58	* HomeschooledKids: The strip begins with Jack's first day of public school after having been home-schooled his whole life.
59	* HotbloodedSideburns: Max Facepuncher sports a pretty wicked pair.
60	* IAlwaysWantedToSayThat: Gavin [[http://fancyadventures.com/2011/01/31/page-262/ here]]
61	* IAmNotLeftHanded: Max doesn't only punch faces...
62	* InsultBackfire: Crystal to Gavin.
63	-->'''Crystal:''' You don't scare me, Gavin. None of you do. The hackers are just a bunch of kids.\
64	'''Gavin:''' Exactly. Kids with godpowers. Children playing with nuclear bombs. You should be '''''terrified'''''.
65	* ItMakesSenseInContext: "[[TheRant Welcome to The Fancy Adventures of Jack Cannon.]] If this is your first time reading, you picked [[http://fancyadventures.com/2011/11/25/page-347/ a hell of a page]] to start with."
66	* LargeHam: Well, with a name like ''Max Facepuncher'', it's only to be expected...
67	* LetsYouAndHimFight: Max does this ''intentionally'' with Jack.
68	* TheMagazineRule: Apparently there are enough knife nuts in this world for a magazine called [[http://fancyadventures.com/2015/07/31/page-479/ "Knife Quarterly"]] to sell.
69	* MeaningfulName: Max Facepuncher.
70	* MeanwhileBackAtThe: [[http://fancyadventures.com/2009/06/05/page-95/ Meanwhile, In The Mighty Skies.]]
71	* MookFaceTurn: Frankie [[spoiler:well, [[VillainOverride not really]]]].
72	* NoHoldsBarredBeatDown: The fight between [[spoiler: Max Facepuncher and Gavin.]]
73	* NonuniformUniform: WordOfGod confirms it's set in an Australian school that does have a uniform; most students either wear whatever they want over it or ignore it completely.
74	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: For much of the comic, the Hackers seem less than a serious threat, due to how easily Jack and his family handle them. However, the true horror of what the Hackers could do to someone is not made fully apparent until they [[spoiler: change Franky into a monster and force him into attack Jack. That's right, the Hackers could turn anyone other than Jack into monsters and send them to attack him. Including his parents, his friends, ANYONE. Apparently the only reason they haven't is because Grin is the only person skilled enough (asides from Gavin) to do it properly, and [[EvenEvilHasStandards after Franky she refuses to do it again.]] However, it's possible that not only could Gavin do it properly, but effortlessly, if he so chose, since apparently he can perform extremely complex hacks with [[strike:a snap of his fingers]] numpad gloves.]]
75	* OhCrap: Jack, quite a few times
76	** Somewhat justified when you're fighting people who can hack reality
77	** [[ButtMonkey Lipbite]] gets one [[http://fancyadventures.com/2010/03/08/page-173/ here]]
78	** [[SayMyName "Jack."]] "What." I Made You A]] [[http://fancyadventures.com/2011/11/25/page-347/ Dinosaur."]]
79	* PetTheDog: Grin seems to have a [[http://fancyadventures.com/2010/02/15/page-167/ conscience]].
80	* PimpDuds: Not overt, but [[BigBad Gavin]] is going around in a plum suit and pants ''without anything underneath''. He is the pimpest.
81	* PunchParry: Parodied twice when Max and Jack fought. [[http://fancyadventures.com/2009/07/03/page-103/ They both screamed in pain]] and Max says [[http://fancyadventures.com/2009/07/06/page-104/ "That was the greatest fistbump ever"]]
82	* RealityWarper: The Hackers. As Gavin put it: "kids with God powers."
83	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The Principal and the general
84	* RetiredBadass: Implied to be Jack Cannon's Father
85	* SadisticChoice: After making a truce with the hackers, Jack has to choose between [[spoiler: protecting his parents or rescuing Angel]].
86	* ScarfOfAsskicking A more [[http://fancyadventures.com/2009/11/30/page-146/ literal example]] than usual.
87	* SeriousBusiness: Hacking.
88	* ShirtlessScene: Max has gotten one. Despite being [[http://fancyadventures.com/2010/11/15/page-241/ completely covered in bruises]], he still manages to look [[MrFanservice pretty hot]] with his [[http://fancyadventures.com/2010/11/19/page-242/ buff physique]] (?!!).
89	* ShipTease: Jack/Angel have been slowly picking up steam. Max/Crystal as well, to a much lesser degree.
90	* ShoutOutThemeNaming: Jack's brother's name is [[Film/{{Sideways}} Miles.]]
91	* SpaceBase: Hackers get one. Likely the reason Mega Intelligence hasn't brought them down yet.
92	* SpoofAesop: "Great, so my first day at school teaches me to hit people and lie to my parents."
93	** "Both are important life lessons, kid."
94	* SpotlightStealingSquad: Max Facepuncher. Lampshaded in a Christmas comic:
95	-->'''Max:''' ''[opening a present]'' Hey, a spotlight!\
96	'''Angel:''' Oh! That was meant to be for Jack.\
97	'''Jack:''' Yes! Just what I wanted! Pass it here, Max.\
98	'''Max:''' No, I think I'll keep it.
99	* StatingTheSimpleSolution:
100	-->'''Lipbite:''' How come you don't just, you know, blow up their house or something?\
101	'''Grin:''' Because I'm not a ''dick''?
102	* StealthPun: A visual pun here: [[http://fancyadventures.com/2010/08/20/page-220/ They "hacked" his leg off.]]
103	* ThoseTwoGirls: Angel and Cindy.
104	* ToughLove: Jack's mother threw knives at him to teach him good reflexes.
105	** And snakes
106	** AND POISONED HIS BREAKFAST AND DINNER.
107	* TrainingFromHell: See above.
108	** Later intensified [[spoiler: due to Jack's {{curb stomp battle}} at the hands of a seriously hacked Frankie]]
109	* {{Tsundere}}: Angel is a sweet girl most of the time, but get her mad and her thorns will come out. She's punched Craig twice.
110	* VillainousBSOD: Brought to a whole new meaning [[http://fancyadventures.com/2012/02/13/page-367/ here]]
111	* WhyWontYouDie: Everyone who has tried to take on Jack has said or thought this at one point or another. Grin does a unique variation.
112	-->'''Grin:''' [[spoiler: WHAT?! Why... Why can't I hack you?]]\
113	'''Jack:''' * shrug *
114	* WouldHitAGirl: Thanks to Max Facepuncher. Twice, up to this point in the story.
115	** Of course, while the first time was a pretty jerk-assed thing to do (he pimp-plexus'd Cindy right after she kicked him in the 'nads to protect Jack), the second was entirely justified.
