History[]

Before 5 Years Later[]

When he was young, he began his studies at the University Of Wisconsion-Madison in 1984, with his fellow lab assistant, Vladamir Silver Masters, and his future wife, Madison Holly Payne. Jack created the first Ghost Portal out of artificial Ecto-Purifier and scrap from the local Junk yards, resulting in a early and somewhat unstable attempt at Ghost Zone travel. On their first attempt to use the prototype Ghost Portal, the calculations for the device were wrong and the machine was unstable. This resulted in Jack's friend Vlad to be blasted in the face with Ecto-Energy, infecting him with Ghost Achene and later on turning him into a ghost hybrid.

Vlad was soon forced into extreme medical care for years, while Jack had felt an extreme amount of guilt for his friend's condition.

The two friends didn't speak to each other for years after that, and sometime after Jack and Maddie got married.

Jack and his now wife Maddie later started a company together, dedicated to developing ghost hunting technology, called Fenton Works. They later had two kids together, Jazz and Danny Fenton.

After the events of the Disasteroid, Jack had become an icon to many parts of the Earth for his Ghost Tech. He had started working with governments around the world, supplying them with Fenton tech and Ghost catching gear to help defend the globe from Ghost attacks. This had made him very wealthy from the high demand, and with so many new officers and agents capturing and defending against ghost Jack had entered into retirement from Ghost Hunting.
