"Hey, way to catch it with your face, McCall!"
HavingJackson has a competitive nature, and due to his parents'attractiveness, upper-classathleticism status,and his athleticism,parents' Jacksonupper-class status, he revels in being the 'big man on campus' amongst his high school peers. He is intenselyimmensely smug over his being the rich, popular and physically attractive captain of the school's [[Cyclones Lacrosse Team]] who drives an expensive car. He takes any and every chance to bad-mouth or degrade his classmates when they attract his ire, regarding them as inferior to him. He even extends his abrasiveness towards Lydia when he sees fit.so. Jackson also tends to be extremely jealous and hostile towards people he sees as a threat to his self-proclaimed supremacy.

He isturns out to be genuine friends with [[Danny Mahealani]], and is truely loves his girlfriend [[Lydia Martin]], but is too proud to ever admit or show it.
Jackson strives to be the perfect overachiever, to always reach the top in any competition which explains his competitive,aggresiveaggressive antics. This is due to his deeplydeep rooted insecurity over the fact he was adopted, and has never met his birth parents. This state of mind has lead to him labouring self-imposed unrealistic expectations and his inability to see his adoptive parents as his true caregivers. This trait resulted in Jackson's lack of a subconscious identity and this was the causal factor for Jackson coming under the [[kanima|curse of the Kanima]].
In [[2x12 - Master Plan|Master Plan]], when Jackson resurfaces due to Lydia's intervention, Jackson realized his identity upon learning Lydia still loved him. Jackson finally exhibited true empathy, selflessness and courage, in allowing Derek and Peter Hale to kill him to protect the people he cared for from himself, and after he's cured true happiness in embracing Lydia.
