List of Jackie Chan Adventures Characters - Villains - The Dark Hand - The Enforcers

The Enforcers

The Enforcers act as henchmen of Valmont (and later effectively directly serve Shendu when he possesses Valmont's body) but later serve several other villains such as Daolon Wong, Tarakudo and very briefly, Drago. They are mainly consisted of Ratso, Finn and Chow and were later joined by Hak Foo.
The three main enforcers are more of a nuisance than a threat and provide comic relief while Hak Foo acts as the muscle for the group. Tohru was originally a member of the enforcers, but he left on his own accord. Daolon Wong transformed the enforcers into his Dark Chi Warriors to replace the ones that were defeated and captured by the Chans, but upon Wong's defeat they were reverted into humans. Tarakudo later employed them and treated them more leniently than Shendu or Daolon Wong. Drago also briefly employed them and transformed them into dragon warriors, but he was also aware of their previous failures, and when they failed their first task, he (both literally and figuratively) fired the Enforcers and reverted them to human form, replacing them with the more competent Ice Gang later on. Facing the destruction of the Earth, all of the Enforcers hired their services out to Uncle and helped him recover Shendu from the ruins of Section 13 for the final confrontation with Drago.

When the Dark Hand is at its zenith in the first season, before involvement with Shendu effectively diminishes the organization, several other officers also participate with the main ones, and are in large numbers when participating in the Dragon Talisman raids on federal reserves and the attempt to capture Jackie Chan after the retrieval of the Tiger Talisman. These enforcers disappear after the talisman hunt following the raid on the Dark Hand's main headquarters by Section 13.

  • Finn
English voice actor: Adam Baldwin
An Irish-American comedian and the brains (or at least the most intelligent) of the Dark Hand enforcers (after Tohru's defection). He is a 70s fanatic, and sang disco at weddings before joining the Dark Hand. He, along with the other two recurring Enforcers and Hak Foo, worked for Shendu, Valmont, Daolon Wong, Tarakudo and Drago (shortly) . He commonly and playfully refers to Valmont as Big-V (and Little-V when he is reduced to a child) and Shendu as "Shen-Dude". When a dragon, he has the ability to shoot fire from his fingers, and as a Dark Chi Warrior he assumes the mantle of his predecessor Rhen. He has a young nephew named Frank, who is unaware of his uncle's criminal career.
  • Ratso
English voice actor: Clancy Brown
A nerdy strongman who acts somewhat childish and has a fondness of toys, baseball and grilled cheese sandwiches. He wears a bandage across his nose as a fashion statement, and studied theoretical physics before joining the Enforcers. When infused with fire demon Chi by Drago, he could generate fire from his hands. When the Monkey Talisman affected him, he was usually turned into a rat (which is fitting, based on his name). In Season 2 episode 1, Chow turned him into a walrus on accident and changed him back. He has an unnamed sister and a young nephew named Rocko, who is his sister's son and is unaware of his uncle's criminal career.
  • Chow
English voice actor: James Sie
Of Asian descent (most likely Chinese, for in Season 2 episode 3, he is able to read a riddle in Chinese), he is the shortest and youngest member of the group. His trademark is a pair of yellow-orange sunglasses, which are actually eyeglasses, and worked at a store called Sunglass Shack where he was employee of the month 3 times before joining the Dark Hand. He gained the ability to shoot fire from his eyes during his employ by Drago (although all too often his sunglasses broke when he used that ability). He's afraid of flying, heights, space travel and a lot of other things. He has a young nephew named Charlie, who is unaware of his uncle's crime life.
  • Hak Foo
English voice actor: Jim Cummings (season one), John DiMaggio (season two onwards)
"Slumbering Bear greets the dawn"(Hak Foo waking up), "Lion stalks its prey"(Hak Foo pursuing Jade), "Leap like Antelope"(jumps into the air), "Bunny flees from vicious Jackals"(Hak Foo running and screaming in terror from attacking Shadowkhan) —Just a few of Hak Foo's third person animal-related descriptions for what he is doing.
A spiky-haired, muscle-bound martial arts thug who looks similar to Goku from Dragonball Z and shouts out metaphorical animal-related descriptions each time he launches his attacks (e.g. "Angry Crow Takes Flight", when Hak Foo uses an airborne attack), and occasionally even when he performs mundane tasks (in one episode, he utters "Mouse Runs Through Maze" while navigating through a building, then "Mouse Takes Cheese" when he retrieves the Pan Ku Box shortly after). This unusual practice makes his fighting style rather easy to predict. Hak Foo's techniques also get more and more violent as the series progresses (in Season 2, he uses "Buffalo tramples field mouse"; by Season 4, he has evolved it into "Supernova incinerates field mouse").
In his first appearance in Season 1, he was the first character that had ever been able to defeat Jackie fairly in a one-on-one match. In season 2 he was brought in as Tohru's replacement. After the hunt to free Shendu's siblings ended, Hak Foo left the Dark Hand and became a freelancer, developing a slight lust for power. He was temporarily a Dark Chi Warrior, and was the only one completely comfortable with the change. Hak Foo then aided Tarakudo in recovering the Oni Masks with the other Enforcers. Hak Foo later aided the J-Team and the other Enforcers in the final battle against Drago. At that point, he was pretty much broke from serving evil and needed some kind of income (as he stated, "Hungry Gopher Digs Hole"). His final metaphor at the end of "The Powers That Be Part II" was "Big Bear Hug" where he pulls the Enforcers and Captain Black into a friendly hug. Hak Foo is the only Enforcer who never worked for Drago despite having worked for all other major villains.
