Skills
Demolition Expert: Lantern has a high intelligence when it comes to bombs and explosives. Being able to craft all kinds of Grenades and Demolition Charges with different effects. From poison to full explosives, Jack uses them all.
Tech Savvy: While not on par with the major geniuses out there, Lantern is skilled with a large array of technology, especially bombs.
Equipment
Pumpkin Grenades: These little devices pack a mean punch. The size of a normal grenade, these bombs are hand crafted by Lantern and come in various forms. Either thrown like hand grenades, planted like C4 or fired on the head of a missile, these devices have an explosive equal to that of a C4 pack.
These bombs also come in a few more types such as:
- Incendiary
- Acid
- Cryo (For when Lantern needs a target alive)
- Plasma Blast (Much more potent, but harder to make than the original)
- Gas (Usually Hallucinogenic, but Datura Powder and other lethal gasses have been used)
Jack O' Lantern Helmet: Lantern's distinctive helmet. This device is in all accounts designed to look like an actual Pumpkin Head. But looks are deceiving, while also providing complete head protection the helmet also has a built in radio and com-link. The helmet also packs a visual scanner and a HUD.
The head also sports a weapon of its own,
Flamethrower: Located in the head's "mouth" are two prongs disguised as Jack O Lantern teeth, one prong emits a flammable gas while the other produces a small flame. The result is a gout of fire that spews from the head's mouth. While this might seem dangerous, Jack has pulled out all the stops to ensure he stays safe, and his target stays crispy.
Launcher Gauntlet: Lantern has a weaponised launcher attached to his left bracer. Launcher ammo includes:
- Micro Grenades
- Gas Grenades
- Buzz Blades (Similar to shuriken but slightly larger and causes more damage)
- Flamethrower
Shriek Gun: Lantern has recently developed a form of sonic weapon. About the size of a handgun, The Shriek Gun fires concentrated blasts of sonic ammunition. These explode on contact into a blast of Sonic Waves that can incapacitate a target....Or scramble their brains and make them go deaf.

Transportation
Weaponised Hover Disc. "Lantern Glider": Mr. Lantern's personal travel disc. Capable of great maneuverability and speeds of up to 90 miles per hour. It can support about 400 lbs (Including Jack's weight) and far more for brief periods of time. It runs on energy cores supplied by Waylon Talos and has a number of weapon systems on it. The Disc is commanded by Lantern's PDA mounted on his bracer and while airborne can be controlled by the movements and attitude of the rider. Lantern's boots can magnetically attach to the disc's central pad, allowing him to fight without being dismounted.
Lantern Glider Weapons Systems
- Plasma Beam (Fires from the power core under the disc. Can be remotely commanded to strike downwards and be drawn along the ground)
- Missile Launcher (Holds about 50 micro munitions that can be fired at mid range)
- Side Blades (In close quarters these blades expand outwards to be used to either decapitate or impale a target)
- Bomb Holder (Located at the front of the disc, sensor activated can deploy a single bomb to be caught and thrown by the rider)
Trivia
- Mr. Lantern is obviously inspired by Mad Jack AKA Jack O Lantern from Marvel comics. Other inspirations come from The Hobgoblin and The Green Goblin (Marvel). Both of which were some of my favorite villains growing up. Lantern is in no way a clone of these characters, while possessing similar gadgets the personalities are different. Lantern also has similarities to Firefly from DC Comics.
- His alias "John Kingsley" is a nod to Robert Kingsley, the first Hobgoblin in Marvel comics.
