Biography[]
Early Life[]
Jason Voorhees was born with severe facial deformities which lead to him being bullied and harassed by various kids on Camp Crystal Lake. The cruel children would eventually threw Jason into the lake where he presumably drowned. Jason actually survived and, as he grew older, would begin a bloody crusade of vengeance against anyone who dared to enter Crystal Lake. He eventually acquired a hockey mask and a machete, which would make up his signature look.
Meeting Leatherface[]
Jason has left Camp Crystal Lake, as it is apparently polluted. Jason kills a man, and encounters Nubbins Sawyer and Leatherface. Jason and Leatherface fight, and Jason manages to knock the chainsaw out of Leatherface's hands. Nubbins is impressed by this, and invites Jason to come to dinner at the Sawyer's home. Strangely, Jason is not threatened by them, and comes to their house.
Nubbins then boasts Jason's actions to Drayton, Grandpa, and Chop Top. This causes Leatherface to cry, and he goes to his room. Jason goes up to Leatherface's room, and invites him down to dinner. Jason and Leatherface then become friends.
Jason does not eat any of the food, which is likely cooked human flesh. Nubbins suggests Jason is being a vegetarian, this angers Drayton, saying that it is rude to even suggest someone may be such, as he considers, an awful thing. When Jason sees Drayton's treatment of Nubbins, this reminds him of his own treatment as a child, revealing that Jason's either father or step-father, often beat him as a child, eventually, Jason's mother (who differs greatly in appearance to Jason's mother, Pamela, and is named Doris) beheaded the father/step-father. He ignores it for a while, but towards the end of the story, sees Nubbins mistreat Leatherface, and Jason then goes into a great rage, attacking the Sawyers. Jason then becomes shocked when Leatherface, whom Jason had defended, tries to kill Jason to protect the other members of the family. Feeling betrayed, he then tries to kill Leatherface. The family manages to defeat him, and after they decide they cannot eat him since "he was more than just meat", they dump him into a lake, and he eventually makes his way to shore, alive. Jason decide not to go back for revenge, preferring to avoid the confusion of the feelings he felt while in the Sawyer household.
