Jason Voorhees - the iconic main antagonist of the Friday the 13th film series - earns notoriety for his ruthless killing sprees. He is notorious for utilizing a machete as his signature murder weapon. Jason's cinematic debut occurs in the 1980 film, Friday the 13th, where he plays the role of Pamela Voorhees' son, portrayed by Ari Lehman. Creator Victor Miller conceived the character with input from Ron Kurtz, Sean Cunningham, and Tom Savini contributing to its on-screen development. Originally intended to be a one-time appearance, Jason became an enduring franchise favorite due in part to his expanded roles across various mediums such as novels, comic books, and merchandise akin to Freddy Krueger from the crossover film Freddy vs. Jason. This character represents an iconic antagonist stalking victims and threatening the sanity of individuals within Friday the 13th: A New Beginning. Lehman's portrayal initiated mixed reviews that later iterations influenced through the changing makeup and special effects of stuntman Kane Hodder who most prominently featured in four films, building on the groundwork set by earlier design specialists like Stan Winston referencing Tom Savini's influence as a basis for his future variations. The unmistakable hockey mask debuted only within the third installment. Starting with Friday the 13th: Jason Lives, Jason began wielding supernatural powers allowing him to regenerate nearly completely and maintain significant invulnerability due largely to an unseen hand - his twisted drive rooted in revenge stemming from past injustice including but not limited to illicit sexual behavior or taking revenge on psychotropic drugs abuse following the tragic death of a child. Throughout popular culture, this legendary killer earned many references within television shows and humorous publications; as inspiration behind the birth of horror-punk music groups while influencing character interpretations - particularly noted in height (203 cm) and substantial mass of 163 kilograms
