* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Jack inherited the curse from his father, and is forced to change [[WeirdMoon during the three nights a month the moon is full]]. His werewolf self grows progressively more violent over time, and the pain that accompanies the transformation increases with each full moon. He eventually gains some control over the change with the help of [[spoiler:The Three Who Are All]], enabling him to transform outside the full moon as well. For a while this control extends to no longer having to change at all during the full moon and retaining his mind at all times, but those days don’t last.\\

** InvoluntaryShapeshifting: On the nights of the full moon, with the exception of a brief respite during the 1990s.
** VoluntaryShapeshifting: Jack learns how to transform any time he wants, completely or partially, and keep his mind in the process. It comes in handy.

* ResistTheBeast: Jack often tries this while subject to [[InvoluntaryTransformation involuntary transformations]] brought on by the full moon; sometimes it works, usually it doesn't.
