Webcomic: The Fancy Adventures Of Jack Cannon aka: Jack Cannon
The Fancy Adventures Of Jack Cannon is a webcomic that is written and drawn by Jamie Anderson.Until recently, Jack Cannon has been home schooled. His life changed drastically when he started going to High School.On his first day in High School, Jack becomes friends with two girls named Angel and Cindy. He also got to know the resident Jerk Ass Craig, who is a Hacker, and not the usual kind of hacker. No, these hackers are people who hack reality. Jack is going to have some serious problems...
Contains examples of:
Accidental Truth: Angel telling Craig that Jack is "the most Badass fighter ever" in hopes it will save his skin.
Action Mom: Jack's mother is a professional bodyguard. And probably almost certainly some sort of ninja.
It should be noted that Max is not short for Maximilian. It's short for Maximum. So, his full name is Maximum Facepuncher. He punches a lot of faces.
Badass Family: The Cannons are all some sort of super soldiers.
Badass in Distress: Max, the principal, and Jack himself are all put in this position briefly. 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.
One might argue that with recent developments that he's Badass Abnormal, but since his only abnormality 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 he normalizes everything around him.
Elaborate Underground Base: a subversion in that its not actually underground, but the Mega Intelligence secret desert base seems plenty big and elaborate.
Even Evil Has Standards: Grin doesn't like hacking people. Gavin is willing to listen to her. The underlings don't seem to share the sentiment.
This probably applies to the hackers as well. They all get taken out very easily, but their reality warping powers prove very effective when they're used intelligently. Most of the defeated hackers have been taken out with a single hit.
Crystal: You don't scare me, Gavin. None of you do. The hackers are just a bunch of kids. Gavin: Exactly. Kids with godpowers. Children playing with nuclear bombs. You should be terrified.
No Holds Barred Beat Down: Looks like the fight between Max Facepuncher and Gavin is going to end up like. Justified in that Gavin isn't really there and Max Facepuncher's cockiness was his downfall.
Nonuniform Uniform: Word Of God 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.
Not-So-Harmless Villain: 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 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 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 a snap of his fingers numpad gloves.
Would Hit a Girl: Thanks to Max Facepuncher. Twice, up to this point in the story.
Of course, while the first time was a pretty jerk-assed thing to do (he pimp-smacked Cindy right after she kicked him in the 'nads to protect Jack), the second was entirely justified.
