Jason Voorhees is the main antagonist and mascot of the Friday the 13th franchise. He is a deformed, monstrous serial killer who is known for wearing a hockey mask to cover his deformities and intimidate his enemies.

Jason Voorhees appears as the Boss in the Jason Vs MultiverseRift. His Boss battle takes place on the Scooby's Haunted Mansion (No Roof) Map. Three Pylons are placed on the Map and will grant Jason invulnerability. One or all must be destroyed in order to continue dealing damage. Jason's side special, Mist Step, will teleport him directly behind an opponent.
Strategy
The time between Pylons activating is often consistent, meaning the player can anticipate when to stop attacking. After the Pylons are destroyed, Jason will freeze for a moment, open for an easy counter attack. If not currently in an animation, Jason will freeze when the Pylons power him up. If this happens while he is in midair, he will fall to the ground and likely self-destruct himself. Jason will very often teleport directly behind opponents, which can be used against him by preparing a counter attack due to its predictability.
* Fixed an issue where one player would disappear when Jason grabbed two players with the sleeping bag

Trivia
Jason and the Banana Guard were teased in the PvE Rifts Mode Overview trailer via two empty slots with the word "secrets" that can be seen on the updated character select screen, the first being placed between Arya Stark and Batman and the second, between Jake the Dog and The Joker.
Jason is the first Fighter to be locked temporarily behind a Battle Pass.
Jason has visible bloodstains on his machete and axe, making it the only direct reference to blood in the game.
MultiVersus is not Jason's first appearance in a fighting game, as he was added as DLC character in Mortal Kombat X. This trait is shared with all DC characters, who appeared in both Injustice games; Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and The Joker also appeared in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, with the latter returning in Mortal Kombat 11 via downloadable content.
