Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* GoodIsNotNice: From his willingness to kill in cold blood (though he's never killed anyone who [[KickTheSonOfABitch didn't deserve it]]), to his penchant for torture, Jack epitomizes this trope. Though he actually is a nice guy when there isn't a crisis afoot.

* GutturalGrowler: Jack sounds like he was weaned on whiskey as a baby and given unfiltered cigarettes rather than a pacifier, it fits his tough as nails personality perfectly.

Punctuation and occupation


He took a leadership role in various covert and undercover missions, and served as both Special Agent in Charge and Director of Field Operations of CTU Los Angeles. His dedication to keeping U.S. citizens safe led him to make some deep personal sacrifices. Jack lost his job, his family, his friends, and, for a period of nearly two years after Day 5, his freedom. He showed his willingness to sacrifice his life on multiple occasions, but each time his sacrifice ultimately proved to be unnecessary.

** Nina Myers (season 1-3), his ex lieutenant and lover,who turned to be a mole, and his wife and unborn child's murderer. She probably is the person Jack hates the most, and is, in Jack's words, worse than a traitor, considering she only cares about money and her own well being.
** Charles Logan (seasons 4-8). The man responsible for the Sentox conspiracy, and (semi-directly) for the deaths of David Palmer, Michelle Dessler, and Tony Almeida, not to mention all the others who died because of the entire conspiracy. And then, for the cover up of Renee Walker's death. He also is everything Jack hates about politicians (and people in general). Of all his enemies (and villains in 24) , Logan possibly is the most powerful and influencial, the only one he returns the hatred Jack feels for him, and the one who has the biggest claim for the Big Bad's spot for the series.

* BrokenAce: The best covert operative in the world, but is just as (or even more so) big a fanatic than the terrorists he fights.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Despite saving America ''every single season'', Jack always has to convince whatever idiot of the week is in charge of CTU or the White House that maybe, just maybe, he isn't involved with the villain's plans and they should trust his judgement.
* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: He served in the U.S. Army Delta Force before joining CTU.

** He also never tried to release a prion that was going to kill thousands. Sure, he might have started world war 3, but that was more indirecr, and he was in denial (although not at Tony's level). All and all, Jack shows himself to be quitw more resilient that Tony (he has lost more than him through the show), and even when he falls to his fury, to be more decent.

** At difference of almost everyone else who says this, he does not hold it as a badge of pride, nor does he hide behind it, nor does he avoid his responsibility for his brutal actions, or use it as an excuse/justification. He also carries a lot of sufferment because of this and honestly wishes he didn't have to resort to such extreme methods to save lives.

* OldSoldier: By Day 7, Kim has a daughter. In Live Another Day, Jack is in his mid-fifties and it hasn't slowed him down ''at all''.
