Jack Baker

Jack Baker's powers and abilities

As a benefit of his infection by the Mold, Jack Baker possesses a significantly increased strength beyond that of a man of his age and build. Jack is shown effortlessly throwing Ethan through walls, tear off the roof of a car with his bare hands, and wield obscenely large weapons in combat, including homemade shears. He can also use smaller weapons with amazing precision and strength, as shown when he destroys a dinner table with a shovel, splintering it. Jack's regeneration is on a whole different level when compared to the rest of the Baker family. He is a constant enemy throughout the game as he is invulnerable to conventional means of attacks. Even when shot in the heart or the head, it will only stun him for a few seconds, and though he can 'die' if damaged enough, he will simply rise again after a set period of time. Examples of his superior regenerative powers are (in order of sequence): run over by a car, impaled by girders in a car crash, lit on fire, engulfed in a fiery car explosion, and finally getting a self-inflicted shot in the head, blowing a hole through the right portion of his skull. He still comes back for more throughout the game as his upper body explodes following a fight with Ethan Winters due to repeated attacks from a chainsaw. Jack then regenerates into a monstrous entity, with his eyes bulging out of its sockets, with him being covered in Eveline's contamination. The eyes on Jack's body are all part of disfigured faces, however only one of his faces appears to be sentient. In this form Jack is even more resilient and can only be "defeated" by destroying his eyes. Even the administration of the serum, which calcified Jack's body, failed to kill him. Once he transformed into the Swamp Man, his mutation advanced even more than before, allowing him to control liquified portions of his body, and use them as bludgeons and whips.

Jack Baker's weaknesses

In his human form, Jack had no specific weaknesses or vulnerabilities. While he could regenerate his wounds, continued repeated damage would overwhelm his healing ability. In his mutant form, Jack had multiple orange eyes appearing all over his body. Ethan was able to defeat Jack by targeting these eyes and destroying them with concentrated gunfire.
