Portrayed by John Barrowman

Captain Jack Harkness is a fictional character played by John Barrowman in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who and its spin-off series Torchwood.

He first appears in the 2005 Doctor Who episode "The Empty Child" and reappears throughout the rest of the 2005 series as the third known companion of the ninth incarnation of the Doctor. Jack goes on to become the central character in Torchwood, an adult-themed spin-off of Doctor Who. He returns in the 2007 series of Doctor Who, reuniting with the Tenth Doctor in "Utopia" for three episodes, departing once more in "Last of the Time Lords".

In the programme's narrative, Jack is a bisexual time traveller and former con man from the 51st century, the first openly non-heterosexual character in the history of Doctor Who. His real name is unknown; he is commonly called "Captain Jack" or "the Captain". As a consequence of his death and resurrection in the 2005 series finale of Doctor Who, the character becomes immortal; this change leads him to become a somewhat fearless but burdened hero within his own series, and (to a degree) a comedic supporting character during his subsequent appearances on Doctor Who.

[edit] Appearances

[edit] Television

In Doctor Who, Jack first appears in the two two-parter "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances"[1][2] for 5 continuous episodes in 2005 series, and makes his final 2005 appearance in another two-parter, "Bad Wolf"/"The Parting of the Ways",[3][4] the series finale. In the 2007 series, Jack reappears for a three-part episode, "Utopia"/"The Sound of Drums"/Last of the Time Lords".[5][6][7] In spin-off series Torchwood, Jack is the central character and appears in every episode from "Everything Changes"[8] onwards, and will appear in the second series of Torchwood, airing in 2008. Jack's character history is presented simultaneously in the two television series as well as through flashbacks and exposition which relay events of his earlier life.

Early history

Little is known about Jack's youth. As a young man in the 51st century, Jack lived in a place called the Boeshane Peninsula.[7] He was the very first person from his home to join the newly created "Time Agency", and his good looks led to him become its poster boy and his subsequent fame earned him the nickname "the Face of Boe." In "Captain Jack Harkness", Jack explains that in his youth he convinced his best friend to go on 'an adventure' fighting an enemy he only refers to as "the worst creatures imaginable". He and his unnamed friend were captured — becoming prisoners of war — and his friend was tortured to death because he was "weaker" than Jack, who was let go after being made to watch.[9] Jack also claims to have operated as a torturer himself.[10]

At an unknown point in his adult history, Jack was an Indian Army Captain in Lahore in 1909, where he was in charge of a unit of fifteen soldiers[11] who were killed by supernatural creatures. The Torchwood website indicates Jack was stationed in an attempt attempting to rob a diamond mine.[12] This could have taken place before Jack became affiliated with the Doctor[1] or during the period in which Jack was later stranded in the 20th century.[5]

The Time Agency later stole two years of his memories and Jack left and became a con man.[1] In 1941, Jack assumed the identity of a recently deceased soldier, one Captain Jack Harkness,[9] who had perished during The Blitz. After adopting the name of Jack he met a seventeen-year-old girl named Estelle Cole with whom he shared "love at first sight" but they were separated when she became a part of the Women's Land Army.[11] Later the same year that Jack disappeared from Estelle's life, leaving with two fellow time travellers.[1]

Meeting the Doctor

.]] The Doctor's companion Rose first meets Captain Jack Harkness during the London Blitz in 1941, where he is posing as an American volunteer in the Royal Air Force. Mistaking Rose and the Doctor (in his ninth incarnation) for Time Agents, Jack tries to con the pair.[1] Jack eventually intends to sacrifice himself by transporting a German bomb, but is rescued by the TARDIS and is taken on board as the newest member of the crew.[2]

Jack accompanies the Doctor for several adventures, over which the character is transformed into from the con man he was into a hero.[13] He accompanies the Doctor, Rose and her boyfriend Mickey on a stop in Cardiff to refuel the TARDIS[14] and later on board the Gamestation where in "The Parting of the Ways" he is shot dead bravely opposing the Daleks. Rose brings him back to life while suffused with the power of the time vortex[4] and from this point onwards, Jack became a "fact on the timeline", impossible to remove, rendering him immortal.[5]

Rose later asks the Doctor's tenth incarnation to go back for Jack, but he refuses and instead tells her that Jack is "rebuilding the Earth"[15] rather than say he is dead. As an alien Time Lord he is instinctively drawn to stay away from immortal such as Jack, which Jack later compares to human prejudice.[5] The decision for the Doctor not to go back for Jack was explained so that the series could explore the effects of the character's regeneration on Rose.[16]

Leading Torchwood

After being abandoned by the Doctor on Satellite 5,[4][15] Jack uses a Time Agent time travel device, a Vortex Manipulator, hoping to arrive in the 21st century but instead arrives in 1869. The device having burned out, he finds himself stranded, forced to wait until he can next meet an incarnation of the Doctor who already knows him.[5] In 1892 he is shot through the heart, and soon learns he cannot die, although he very slowly ages.[7] Jack goes on to serve in World Wars I and II (for a second time), being killed a number of times before eventually joining and rising to a place of authority within the Torchwood Institute which which he may have been associated with since at least 1959.[17] During this time, he occasionally watched over Rose Tyler growing up during the 1990s.[5]

By 2007, in spin-off series Torchwood, Jack is a changed man and has become the head of Torchwood Three, located in Cardiff, over a "spacetime Rift". Jack is very protective of what he has left of the Doctor, the hand cut off by the Sycorax leader during "The Christmas Invasion",[18] which has since been preserved and is kept in a jar at the Torchwood Hub, where his elite team is stationed. Jack uses the hand as a "Doctor detector" to let him know when a compatible incarnation of the Doctor next arrives to refuel the TARDIS.[5]

Despite having worked with him for some time, his present-day colleagues know very little about him, including whether or not he is gay or bisexual[19] or even "who he is",[20] although Toshiko eventually learns his real name is not Jack Harkness.[9] The team also later discover Jack cannot die in the year Gwen Cooper is hired.[8][21][20] On two occasions with his team present, he displays the ability to lend life through kissing — first to Carys,[19] and later to Ianto Jones.[21] Within his own team, Jack and Ianto are driven to violence,[21] Suzie becomes a serial killer and attempts to kill him[8] and he is forced to kill her,[22] and he faces mutiny and is shot by Owen.[20]

An emerging subplot in Torchwood series one was Jack's relationship with Ianto, with whom he had flirted in the pilot[8], and whom he had passionately kissed in "Cyberwoman".[21] In "They Keep Killing Suzie", Ianto directly propositions Jack.[22] When Jack is killed battling a demon, Ianto mourns him like a lost lover[20] and kisses him sweetly upon witnessing his resurrection.

When Jack's "Doctor detector" severed hand[5] goes off and Jack hears the sound of the TARDIS, he runs to Roald Dahl Plass where he jumps aboard a dematerialising TARDIS. The TARDIS then tries to shake him off, going all the way to the year one hundred trillion. Reunited with the Doctor and new companion Martha[5] the three are left on the run when renegade Time Lord "the Master" steals the Doctor's TARDIS[5] and as Prime Minister "Harold Saxon", succeeds in world domination.[6] The Master manages to capture Jack and the Doctor for a whole year and after he is defeated, Jack is offered full-time companionship but declines, deciding that his team in Cardiff needs him far more, returning to the Hub.[7]

Jack's youthful nickname, "the Face of Boe" (the Boeshane Peninsula being his early home),[7] implies that Jack may eventually become the Face of Boe — a disembodied, giant head in a jar. Russell T. Davies called this scene "a theory" in the episode commentary for "Last of the Time Lords".[23]

[edit] Other appearances

Jack features in the BBC Books New Series Adventures novels The Deviant Strain by Justin Richards,[24] The Stealers of Dreams by Steve Lyons[25] and Only Human by Gareth Roberts.[26] These novels take place between episodes of the 2005 series of Doctor Who. Captain Jack also appears in a number of Torchwood books, published by Ebury Press. To date, Jack appears in Another Life by Peter Anghelides,[27] Border Princes by Dan Abnett[28] and Slow Decay by Andy Lane.[29] As with all Doctor Who and Torchwood spin-off media, the canonicity in relation to the television series is unclear.

The character of Jack Harkness has been parodied several times on the satirical impressionist television show Dead Ringers. Played by Jon Culshaw, the show pokes fun at his bisexuality and apparent "campness", as well his melodramatic personality in Torchwood. In one sketch, he walks bizarrely towards the camera, randomly kissing a policeman as he passes him.[30] In another sketch, he can be seen having a threesome with the Cybermen.[31]

[edit] Characterisation

[edit] Character creation

The character's name, Harkness, is shared by lead characters of Century Falls and The Grand (in both instances, an "Esme Harkness" features), both Russell T. Davies-scripted drama series. Davies took the name from the character of Agatha Harkness in the Fantastic Four comic book series.[32] Coincidentally, the 1968 Doctor Who serial The Mind Robber features a character who wrote a series of books titled "The Adventures of Captain Jack Harkaway".[33]

Portrayor John Barrowman carried some input in the creation of the character, "I wanted kids to like him, and I wanted women, men, I wanted everyone to like him," he added. "But first I wanted people to hate him. I wanted them to think he was arrogant and pushy and too sure of himself. And I wanted them to follow the arc of the change he went through in the final episodes of 'Doctor Who.'"[34] This reflects Davies' expressed initial conception for the character.[13]

[edit] Personality

Jack is a charming rogue from the 51st Century,[2] who seems to flirt with everyone he meets. Jack is a former soldier of several time periods, both past and future, and had many adventures through time and space on his own before he began to travel with the Doctor. Executive producer and head writer Russell T. Davies described Jack's travels with the Doctor as life-changing, transforming Jack from coward to self-sacrificing hero.[13]

His departure from the Doctor's company, however, was in traumatic circumstances; this, and his unseen return to modern-day Earth — waiting to reunite with the Doctor for over a hundred years — appears to change him once more. Less gregarious and with a darker tone to his life, in his leadership role at the Torchwood Institute he has, however, begun to soften after meeting Gwen Cooper and taking her under his wing. In Torchwood, he would occasionally inquire or muse about the afterlife and religion[8] sympathising with a man's desire to die.[35] Asked by the Doctor if he wants to die, Jack indicates having a less suicidal outlook after witnessing the indomitable spirit of humanity which the Tenth Doctor frequently admires.[5]

In several instances in Torchwood, Jack displays no qualms about killing a person of any species.[22][21][36] When reuniting with the Doctor in series 3 he is verbally warned "don't you dare" when pointing a gun,[5] and scolded when contemplating snapping the Master's neck.[6] In contrast in other episodes, especially with regard to the dying,[22] aged,[11] and lonely,[35] Jack displays kindness and sympathy, going as far as to lie to ease pain.[22] This humanity and compassion for the dying may relate to his adamant existentialist philosophies.[20]

[edit] Sexual orientation

[H]e’s bisexual, but in the realm of the show, we call him omnisexual, because on the show, [the characters] also have sex with aliens who take human form, and sex with male-male, women-women, all sorts of combinations.
Chicago Tribune interview with John Barrowman.[37]

Jack is bisexual, an orientation which the Doctor points out is more common in the 51st century, when mankind will deal with multiple alien species and sexuality becomes more flexible.[2] He is the first companion to be openly anything other than heterosexual. The bisexuality-related labels "pansexual" and "omnisexual"[38] are also frequently applied to the character, although Jack himself has only displayed attraction to beings (people, robots and humanoid aliens) which fit into the gender binary of male/female. John Barrowman has described Jack as bisexual, and went on to discuss bisexuality in an interview.[39] Jack himself refers to categories of sexual orientation as "quaint", noticing the reactions of his team-mates to Gwen's kiss with Carys, implying a disbelief in total monosexuality.[19] Writer Steven Moffat suggests that questions of sexual orientation do not even enter into Jack's mind.[40] Despite Jack's rampant flirtatiousness and appetite for casual sex, he is also shown to carry more profund affections for first love Estelle Cole,[11] fellow companion Rose Tyler,[4] the Doctor,[4] teammates Gwen Cooper (with whom the relationship is a slow progression)[41] and Ianto Jones[20] as well as his own namesake.[9]

Jack always gives his rank as Captain. In "The Empty Child" and "The Doctor Dances," the rank insignia on his greatcoat is of a Squadron Leader, the British Royal Air Force equivalent of a Major (although he identifies himself as part of the U.S. military working with the British). In later episodes it is explained that Jack Harkness commanded a squadron — this may suggest a misunderstanding of the RAF rank system on the writers' part, since a squadron is too junior a command for a Group Captain. In a flashback to 1909 Lahore in "Small Worlds" he is seen wearing the three "pips" of a British Army Captain.

[edit] Powers and abilities

While Jack outwardly appears to lack any extranormal abilities, the events of "The Parting of the Ways" have rendered him immortal.[8][5] When Rose Tyler absorbs the time vortex by looking into the Heart of the TARDIS, she resurrects Jack. Unable to properly control her new power, she does not take time into account, transforming him into what the Tenth Doctor describes as a "fact" of the timeline: Jack's immortality has no bounds, and thus he will exist until the end of time.[5]

The exact mechanism behind Jack's immortality is vague. It slows his aging to a near-halt (but not completely)[7] and gives him an excess of life energy, allowing him to extend the lives of others through a kiss.[19] It also offers him protection from certain forms of radiation and the forces within the time vortex, though the stresses of the latter do temporarily kill him.[5] As demonstrated throughout Torchwood, non-fatal wounds heal at the same rate as they would in any other human. In those cases where Jack actually dies, his body heals itself after a certain period. The amount of time seems to vary with the severity of the wound. Simple causes of death, such as single gunshot wounds[5] or electrocution,[21][5] take very little time for him to recover from, usually within a few minutes. More excessive causes of death, such as multiple gunshot wounds,[20] take significantly longer for him to heal from. When battling Abaddon, a Biblical demon who steals life, Jack overfeeds the creature using his immortality, which leaves him dead for several days until he is eventually revived when kissed by Gwen.[20]

In addition to these supernatural powers, Jack is incredibly charismatic and persuasive. As a time traveller, Jack is saturated in "artron energy", a form of radiation inside the time vortex.[42] As a Torchwood Institute employee, Jack is trained in various psychic techniques, including defence against telepathy.[43][44][45] He is apparently familiar with various institutional torture techniques and is proficient with firearms from different time periods. Jack's personal effects such as psychic paper[1] allow him to easily assume another's identity.[9] Jack's wrist device offers many functions, ranging from long-distance communication to instantaneous time travel and teleportation,[6] though the time travel feature has since been disabled.[7] As the leader of Torchwood Three, Jack also has access to an arsenal of advanced alien and futuristic technology.

[edit] Critical reception and impact

Following the character's initial introduction in the revived series 1 of Doctor Who, the character became incredibly popular with fans,[13][46][47] to the extent that Russell T. Davies and Julie Gardner created a spin-off series primarily centred around the character, Torchwood.[39] The Times described the undeniable success of the character as having propelled actor John Barrowman to "National Treasure status".[48] Part of Jack's mystique was his sex appeal, swashbuckling heroism and sexual appetite.[49] In anticipation of the character's return to Doctor Who in series 3 after a successful run in the first series of Torchwood, mainstream media hailed his return.[48]

In the media, Jack is described as both the "first openly gay companion" and as a "hunky bisexual".[50] Jack's notability is largely due to his mainstream representation of a bisexual man in science fiction television, for whom sexual identity is "matter-of-fact".[49] The overtness of Jack's sexuality broke new grounds, the labels "pansexual" and "omnisexual" being applied to the character on occasion. In "The Parting of the Ways", Jack kissed both Rose and the Doctor on the lips,[4] the latter being the first gay kiss in the history of the programme. Despite the boldness of the first LGB character in the series' run, there has been very little uproar about the character, although there was some controversy at the time of Jack's introduction.[51] The presence of the character in prime time television sparked discussion of the nature of bisexuality in a number of outlets[32][38][52] where normally it is dismissed or overlooked.[53] Channel4.com cites Jack as a positive role model for gay and bisexual teenagers,[54][55] where little had been present for this audience in years gone by and subsequently leading to a greater culture of tolerance.[55]

Describing the significance of his character, Barrowman has stated:

“ I do watch a lot of television science fiction, and it is a particularly sexless world. With a lot of the material from America, I think gay, lesbian and bisexual characters are massively underrepresented, especially in science fiction, and I'm just not prepared to put up with that. It's a very macho, testosterone-driven genre on the whole, very much written by straight men. I think Torchwood possibly has television's first bisexual male hero, with a very fluid sexuality for the rest of the cast as well. We're a beacon in the darkness.[56] ”
