1* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:Jack, stabbed by Olivia, bled out in her room, all alone. Given his [[JerkassWoobie background]] and apparent belief that what he did all really was for the greater good, it's hard not to feel sad about him being gone for good. It also doesn't help that, especially for a villain, he died so very early in what's shaping up to be a long story.]]
2* HesJustHiding: Despite the [[AvertedTrope aversion]] of NeverFoundTheBody, some people think that Jack's corpse is a fake and they're still out there somewhere, somehow. [[spoiler:They were right.]]
3* JerkassWoobie: [[spoiler:Jack is one, if you look into his back story. He was a boy with a heart condition that meant he could die at any given moment, and spent most of his childhood in the hospital. He became a gatekeeper because he took a strong interest in the darker side of human nature. And then he died, bleeding out, alone. Despite his being a villain, it's hard not to [[AlasPoorVillain feel for him a little]].]] This was one of the reasons for why, [[spoiler: when it turned out that he faked his death, a whole lot of people were very happy.]]
4* LoveToHate: Those who don't just outright love Jack Porter tend to feel this way about him, since [[spoiler: he's such a cool, manipulative, villain. Hence why most were happy when he turned out to have not actually died.]]

6%%needs context* NightmareFuel: [[http://gatekeepercomic.smackjeeves.com/comics/1919782/03/ This page.]] Specifically, the bottom panel. [[spoiler:As if Jack wasn't creepy enough already!]]
7* ShipTease: There has been some for Jack/Olivia. She seems rather flustered at times when around him and, after [[spoiler:their first cleanup job together]], he takes her out to eat at a restaurant. Of course, this is just to cheer her up but he also [[spoiler:pretends that they're in a relationship when an outburst from Olivia draws too much attention to them. It seems like an interesting choice to make, given that he could have probably gotten people to ignore them some other way.]] Plus, there are Maya's ''[[EveryoneCanSeeIt interesting]]'' comments.
