Jack Spicer is a self-proclaimed "Evil Boy Genius" and one of the main villains. He is constantly building different types of robots, the most common of which is the Jack-Bot. His first appearance was in "The Journey of a Thousand Miles" where he met the Heylin witch Wuya, where he then learned of the mystical Shen Gong Wu. He says that he has wanted to rule the world since second grade. As mentioned above, Jack is an experienced robotic engineer, and yet he is not above sobbing in public.
Jack lives in his parents' basement, which he uses as his secret lab. His parents are never seen, nor were they mentioned that much in the series. However, it has been shown that his parents (or his father at least) appear to be involved in some high position or profession, as they appear to be relatively wealthy. He also has a blond cousin Megan, who is much younger than he and is aligned with the Xiaolin.
Jack appears to have "evil heroes" examples are Chase Young and Hannibal Roy Bean. He looks up to those evil heroes and tries to form partnerships with them, usually ending up with him getting hurt.
At times he is stupid enough to go into the Ying-Yang World with only one yo-yo and coming out as a "good Jack" who is quirky, spunky, dramatic, and what can only be described as the ultimate good. Good Jack was turned into regular Jack by going in with a clone of good Jack, so all the good was left back in there. Good Jack appeared again in the episode "The Life and Times of Hannibal Roy Bean" when good Jack let regular Jack get into the prison that held Hannibal Roy Bean. Hannibal tricked not Jack, but the monks, he used the Moby Morpher to turn into Jack, telling them that Hannibal tricked him in the cell.
Later in the episode "Hannibal's Revenge" Kimiko disguises herself into looking like Jack in order to win a showdown. In the last episode Jack is left with his favorite Shen Gong Wu, the Monkey Staff.
