Abilities
Jack-in-the-Box is an extraordinarily accomplished athlete and acrobat, capable of midair maneuvers to combat flying opponents, and even to dodge aerial explosions. He displayed a deductive mind and a talent for invention, able to maintain and augment the arsenal of gimmicks and devices inherited from his father and utilize them expertly in furtherance of his crimefighting career. He is also fond of wisecracks and wordplay.
The new Jack, Roscoe, lacks the brilliance and experience of his predecessors, but is a promising athlete whose street smarts and style will likely bring a new dimension to the role.

“Who can measure the advantages that would result if the magnificent abilities of these women could be devoted to the needs of government, society and home, instead of being consumed in the struggle to obtain their birthright of individual freedom? Until this be gained we can never know, we can not even prophesy the capacity and power of women for the uplifting of humanity.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“A child is born with the potential ability to learn Chinese or Swahili, play a kazoo, climb a tree, make a strudel or a birdhouse, take pleasure in finding the coordinates of a star. Genetic inheritance determines a child’s abilities and weaknesses. But those who raise a child call forth from that matrix the traits and talents they consider important.”
—Emilie Buchwald (20th century)
