Storyline
Mortal Kombat
Duty
Cyber-enhanced officer of the Special Forces. Jax Briggs lost both arms in the line of duty, but he came back to the battlefield twice as strong thanks to cybernetic upgrades. Even with that power, Jax’s sacrifices burden him. He soldiers onward, honorbound to protect Earthrealm.
Kombat Rebooted
A decorated member of the U.S. Special Forces and a formidable close-kombat warrior, Major Jackson Briggs' current mission is to bring down the notorious criminal organization known as the Black Dragon. With Lieutenant Sonya Blade, he has seized many of their weapons caches. But when a trusted informant, Kano, was revealed to be a high-ranking member of the Black Dragon, Jax made Kano's capture his priority. Kano has gotten the better of Jax thus far, leading the Special Forces into numerous deadly ambushes. Jax and Sonya finally cornered Kano on an uncharted island but were overpowered by the island's inhabitants. They have now been forced into a sadistic ritual of bloody kombat.
Ermac
Defeated By
Ermac telekinetically ripped Jax' arms off, forcing him to get cybernetic replacements.
Kombat Kontinues
His real name is Maj. Jackson Briggs, leader of a top U.S. Special Forces Unit. After receiving a distress signal from Lt. Sonya Blade, Jax embarks on a rescue mission. One that leads him into a ghastly world where he believes that sonya is still alive.
The Wrath of Kahn
After failing to convince his superiors of the coming Outworld menace, Jax begins to covertly prepare for future battle with Kahn's minions. He outfits both arms with indestructible bionic implants. This is a war Jax is prepared to win.
A New Dimension of Kombat
When Sonya disappears while tracking the last living member of the Black Dragon, Major Jackson Briggs heads after her. He soon finds that Sonya's mission has led her into a battle with the forces of an evil elder god. This is a battle they must win or their own world will crumble at the hands of Shinnok.
MK Trilogy Endings
The second time Jax battles the forces of Shao Kahn he comes prepared. Thought to be the strongest man on Earth he has no problem proving it: first by beating Kahn's armies then by defeating the emperor himself. When the world reverts back to normal Jax and Sonya start the Outer World Investigation Agency. Jax runs the exploratory division which learns to open portals through science rather than magic. He leads the first expedition into a mysterious new realm.
Return of the Dragon King
Due to his military successes, Jax has climbed the ranks of the Special Forces Outerworld Investigation Agency. To aid him in the fight against invasion from other realms, he has replaced his own arms with mechanical ones. He was last seen in Outworld hunting the Red Dragon member, Hsu Hao.
MK Armageddon Endings
When Jax absorbed the power of Blaze, the cybernetics in his arms grew and permeated his entire body. He was transformed into a full cyborg.

He became aware of a controlling neural chip that had been implanted in his brain by Sektor. Enraged, Jax defeated Sektor and claimed leadership of the cyborg ninja clan, the Tekunin.

It is unknown if he will ever return to the Special Forces.
Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe
Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe Endings
Badly injured in the melee with the otherworldly invaders, Jax knew he must enhance his cybernetics to save his own life.

He underwent massive anatomical restructuring, replacing most of his body with mechanized, fully-armored versions. Jax is now more powerful than ever, but at the cost of his humanity.
Worlds Collide
A decorated soldier and formidable warrior, Jax found that he could enhance his strength and fighting ability through technology. Replacing his arms with cybernetics, he has become a juggernaut in the fight to protect Earthrealm. After the emperor Shao Kahn's invasion, Jax realized that the military was unprepared for threats from other realms. He and his partner, Sonya Blade, formed a division of the Special Forces tasked with monitoring threats not from this world. The Outworld Investigation Agency will soon face its first crisis.

Fun Facts
Don't Call Me Kurtis
As legend has it, the first Mortal Kombat character had a military-type character named Kurtis Stryker planned for it. Tests showed that players would have liked a female character, so this character was replaced by Sonya Blade. Come MKII, they decided to actually implement this Stryker character... but near the end of development on the first release, changed his name to Major Jackson "Jax" Briggs. Mortal Kombat 3 finally saw Kurtis Stryker in the roster... as a pudgy riot cop.
