I go through life being reminded of funny Jason moments. His story isn't finished yet, not even a substantial amount of his story is finished, and since I'm rewriting it now he's got even less. He's amusing though, so he doesn't drive me as crazy as some other characters I've had but never finished writing. Anyway, little bits of other characters always remind me of Jason.
Robin
This one is pretty obvious, considering Jason is a robin in the regular DC universe. But I'm not talking about Jason Todd. I don't actually know very much about the actual Jason Todd. I read Under the Red Hood once when I was an ignorant noob. Didn't understand a word. I couldn't figure out who the guy with the red hood was, and then when it was revealed as Jason I still understand the significance of that, but I thought the whole business was cool and entertaining anyway. I have really bad luck. I always read the most complicated stories first and then fill in the gaps after I've been completely confused. Anyway, Dick always reminds me of my Jason He's hysterical. There was this one scene in City of Crime where he had been on stakeout for a few hours and he was out of his mind from boredom: "Boredboredboredboredboredboredboredbored". As I always say, that is so Jason. Dick's evil laugh on Young Justice also reminds me of Jason, as well as his unique grammar. I wrote a Superman|Batman story where Jason ran around beating up villains and henchmen and the like speaking in rhymes. Needless to say Clark had about had it by the end of the story.
I know he's the Doctor, I know. But some of the things the Matt Smith version does...All the mad-cap random solutions, the flailing around and especially the sentimentality. The Doctor sincerely cares about people and human life, something he and Jason have in common.
Sokka
He eats. A lot. And he eats everything. He randomly scrapes things off of cave walls and slices open cactuses. Anything that comes within range is consumed instantly. He flounders around and fails at things. Something that Jason also does a lot. In my JLA stories, he and the Flash have epic battles over the fridge in the watchtower, and pickles. He and the Flash are just very amusing in general. Another thing about Sokka is when he gets sick, he's either completely delirious or completely miserable. Jason works the same way, except it's usually he's completely immune to some severe stomach bug and then get's wiped out by the common cold.
