Origin

Jason Voorhees was born with severe birth defects in the 1980s to Pamela Voorhees. As a child, he was mercilessly bullied at Camp Crystal Lake, where his mother worked as a cook. At age 12, he witnessed his mother's brutal murder by camp counselors, a traumatic event that shattered his psyche. This led him to take violent revenge on the camp staff and retreat into the wilderness surrounding Crystal Lake. Over the years, his rage and connection to the land transformed him into something beyond human - an immortal force of vengeance that kills anyone who dares trespass on his territory.
