~ Jackson Storm wishing McQueen's retirement to McQueen in Cars 3.

I'm coming for you, Storm.

~ Lightning McQueen as he prepares for a race in Florida and his revenge on Jackson Storm.
Jackson Storm is the main antagonist of Pixar's 18th full-length animated feature film, Cars 3 and its videogame, Cars 3: Driven to Win, the main antagonist in Storm Chasing, and a cameo/mentioned antagonist in Miss Fritter's Racing Skool.
He is a rookie (now champion) belonging to the new generation of high-tech racers, the third arch-rival of Lightning McQueen, and Cruz Ramirez's first arch-rival in the franchise,
He is voiced by Armie Harmer and by A.J Hamilton in Driven to Win.
Like Chick Hicks, Storm is very arrogant, haughty and selfish although he conceals his emotions more from others. He is also misogynistic, as with Cruz, whom he considers inferior and did not suspect at the start that she could be stronger than him and even win.
In the past, Storm used to be very cocky but carefree during the time he won various races in a game called "Super Corsa 3", where he met his crew chief, his friend and Sponsor. However, after he was defeated by Tim Treadless, he became frustrated and rageful.
In the film, he is disrespectful, disdaining Lightning McQueen in the Cooper Canyon Speedway and later mocking Cruz Ramirez during the Florida 500 race. When Cruz starts to advance and gets up to the fourth place in the race, he moves down from his position (2nd place) to stay next her and provoke her. Near the end of the race, he even rages against Cruz, slamming her into a wall. He was determined not to let Cruz win. According to McQueen, Storm acted on fear and cowardice of losing to Cruz.
Appearance[]
Having been built specifically for racing, Storm's design is quite advanced, and his sleek model was constructed with carbon fiber and metal composite, with the concept of speed in mind. A 2017 Custom built Next-Gen Piston Cup Racer, his chassis is built with hydroformed alloy and steel. His Maximum Performance V-8 engine with 850 horsepower is responsible for his ability to reach 0-60 in 3.6 seconds, as well as his top speed of 214 miles per hour.
Storm is painted in a black livery, with his doors sporting a design resembling a thick blue lightning bolt. His eyes are greyish blue and his sides also feature his racing number, 20 (however, it's stylized to look like "2.0" to resemble the next generation), as well as contingency sponsors, including the Piston Cup, Combustr, Carbon Cyber, and SynerG in addition to his own sponsor, IGNTR Liquid Adrenaline.
Biography[]
Past[]
Jackson was a cyber-sportsman, making a living playing racing video game (most noticeably, the racing game SC3) Super Corsa 3. His greatest achievement was winning a lot of money from a cyber-sport tournament organized by businessman Axle P. Biggs. He organized this tournament to find a worthy racer for his team. His team was able to recruit piston cup racers Storm and Tim Treadless out of the 10 cars that entered this competition, Jackson was the winner. Mr. Biggs asked a pickup truck named Ray Reverham (A.K.A Jackson Storm's Crew Chief) to find Jackson and engage him in the real sport.
In the beginning, Jackson declined, having earned enough money from his career in cyber-sport. He liked his freedom and did not want to change anything. Mr. Biggs blackmailed Storm, saying that if he did not become a racer then he would have to return all the money that he won from the tournament, and that he would not be involved in the video-gaming business. Storm then accepted the offer, but his cockiness was hard to deal with.
He began training in a special racing center with the other next-generation racers, but again, his attitude was a huge problem. He would often bully other members of the training center and steal their allotted time on the racing simulators. He would frequently challenge the other racers on the simulators, and upon losing to one racer in particular, Storm raged, damaging equipment and setting off the fire alarm. Due to repeated bad behaviour, Mr. Biggs decided to fire Jackson. Ray saw some kind of potential in Jackson, however, and decided to leave the training centre with him.
IGNTR, a liquid adrenaline company, soon offered to sponsor Jackson. He accepted, on the condition that Ray could be his crew chief. A statistical analyst from the racing centre had actually contacted IGNTR and told them about Jackson's skills.
Cars 3[]
Jackson is introduced as a rookie in the racing world, where he tries his best to beat Lightning McQueen. He unexpectedly wins a race and reveals himself to be an extremely arrogant racer. Throughout the season, he keeps winning as newer racers take over the circuit, and boasts about McQueen retiring, when he is interviewed by racer turned reporter Chick Hicks.
Prior to the Florida 500, he sets records and increase his top speed to 214 miles per hour. At the race, Storm notices Cruz Ramirez in her racing outfits and insults her. When Cruz Ramirez enters the race, Storm completely underestimates her. As Cruz moves up to third place, Storm tells her that she does not belong on a track and her dreams won't be enough to make her a racer. McQueen tells Cruz that Storm saw something in her which was why he tried to lower her confidence. Storm was shocked to find out that Cruz was right behind him. Cruz remains close on his tail by drafting, as she politely taunts him with her training skills, to which Jackson finally snaps. During the final lap, Storm attempted to push her against a wall, but Cruz flipped over him and won the race. It’s unknown what happened to Storm afterwards since he was not seen again after the Florida 500, near the end of the movie or in the credits, it can be presumed that he still keeps racing to try to beat Cruz Ramirez but still loses to her at the end.
Miss Fritter's Racing Skool[]
Storm is seen in a news footage headlining that Cruz Ramirez beat Jackson Storm to win the Florida 500 trophy for Lightning McQueen.
Storm returns as the main antagonist and an unlockable playable character in Cars 3: Driven to Win now voiced by A.J. Hamilton, when Chick invited Lightning McQueen to his talk show to discuss the continuation of his racing career, which Chick considered "ill-advised". When Lightning, Jackson Storm and Cruz Ramirez set up a competition, he dubs it "Lightning Storm Cruise" and gives them access to the studio's racing simulator. Despite being sure that Jackson will defeat Lightning, he is proved wrong when the latter wins instead and is forced to admit that Lightning isn't done with racing. He is last seen watching Storm get chased by Miss Fritter at the Thunder Hollow Speedway.
He is unlocked by completing the Master-level event Jackson Storm Race.

Trivia[]
Jackson Storm's role bears resemblance to antagonists like Chick Hicks, Chick Hicks, Ripslinger and Trip Murphy, albeit in a weaker capacity. Whereas Chick and Ripslinger are ruthless adversaries who will resort to all means for victory, Storm is barely seen committing such acts, as his extreme performance preludes the need of such.
Jackson Storm, Sterling, Chick Hicks and Miss Fritter are the only antagonists in Cars 3.
Jackson Storm is a modernized take on Lightning McQueen's design.
Jackson Storm (Champion Mark Specification) was released August, 2018. It was a campaign item, which required spending 4000 yen or more on Cars Tomica items to apply for.
Jackson Storm (MovieNEX Original Specification) was released in 2019.
Jackson Storm (Standard Type) was released July 16, 2022. It replaced the C05 Sally (Standard Type). It is mostly identical to the previously-released C43 Jackson Storm (Standard Type), but with different eyes.
Storm's voice actor, Armie Hammer, was born on the same year Pixar was founded (1986).
By winning the Piston Cup in his rookie year, Storm has achieved what McQueen was hoping to do in the first Cars film which he gave up and helped The King instead after learning that helping others is important than winning. It is highly possible, as another rookie may have won sometime between the events of the first and third films.
Storm makes some appearances in some magazines.
Jackson plays the main villain role, and the story leads up to a final showdown against him. After the final race against him is beaten, he is unlocked as a playable character.
Unlike Chick Hicks, Professor Zündapp, Acer, Grem, and Miles Axlerod, Jackson Storm is the least evil main antagonist who never does anything evil, as his only intent is to top other racers.
Jackson Storm won ten races in a row before winning his first Piston Cup.
Ironically, in spite of his clear hate for McQueen, Storm is very much like Lightning in the first film; the main difference is that Lightning still showed respect towards older champions, like the King, as shown when he chose to admit defeat by forfeiting his victory so he can help him finish his last race for good.
Jackson Storm highly resembles a Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo, a concept supercar made for the Gran Turismo series by Polyphony Digital.
He is a 2017 Custom built Next-Gen Piston Cup Racer.
While Storm is the fastest Piston Cup racer, he is not the fastest car in the franchise: the record is held by Francesco Bernoulli (Lightning's rival in Cars 2), with a top speed of 220 mph.
Jackson Storm's name and surname are different several languages:
Jackson's actions in the final race reflect Chick Hicks' actions in the first movie, aggressively attacking King and McQueen.
Armie Hammer previously portrayed the Lone Ranger from the 2013 film of the same name.
By winning the Piston Cup in his rookie year, Storm achieved what McQueen almost did in the first Cars film. However, it is not known whether this makes him the first rookie to win the Piston Cup, the distinction McQueen was aiming for at that time, as there could have been another racer since to have done so.
Jackson Storm is similar to Ripslinger, due to their personality wise however, Ripslinger is more physical in his tactics like Chick Hicks, compared to Storm.
Storm is somewhat similar to various wrathful characters in some media.
He won his first race at the Arizona road course in the Dinoco 400.
He won from his second to his last race to be champion of the Piston Cup at the Southern Speedway until the Los Angeles 500 for McQueen and the veterans to enjoy his retirement.
In 2017:
Storm was about to win the Florida 500, but then she shot back at Cruz and tried to kill her, but he slammed her into the wall, and Cruz is the winner.
His racing number is 20, stylized as 2.0, and his title sponsor is IGNTR. His crew chief is Ray Reverham, his mechanic is Laura Spinwell and his hauler is Gale Beaufort.
He is a custom-built Next-Gen race car that competes in the Piston Cup Racing Series. After his debut in the 2016 season, Storm has proven to be very talented, reaching top speeds that veteran racers struggled to reach (210 mph).
The Storm's stellar performance sparked interest in the next generation of running backs, and other Piston Cup teams began to replace their veterans with newer, more powerful running backs. Storm had many wins during his first full season and even set the record for fastest lap of all time at Florida International Speedway.
He is one of three racers to have a named hauler the other two being, Paul Conrev, and Eric Braker.
Chick Hicks when he was interviewing Jackson Storm and makes insulting comments about McQueen, calling him "Kaboose" due to falling behind the next generation racers.
Storm is also said to be a modified Lykan HyperSport, McQueen's new racing rival. The face of the new generation of high-tech racers, threatening to displace McQueen's entire generation as the top racer, threatening McQueen's career and his imminent retirement; His brand is IGNTR and his number is 2.0.
In addition, Storm is a cybersportsman, it has a bit of being inspired by Cipher since she is a cyberterrorist and spy, in that case when Natalie Certainty said: Storm is above all, it would mean that Storm had done espionage.
Even though Jackson has a top speed of 214 mph, there are many depictions of the background Piston Cup racers from Cars: The Video Game clocking even as high as 245 mph. However, the physics of older Cars games work much different than the more recent ones.
If you play as Jackson Storm in the Boss Race against him, he will race against a clone of himself.
In the Character Selection of Cars 3: Driven to Win, Jackson Storm uses Finn McMissile's animations from Cars 2: The Video Game.
Some people say that Jackson Storm isn't a villain, yet he is since he goes above when he rammed Cruz Ramirez into the wall to prevent her into winning, which could have killed her.
Like Chick Hicks, Jackson Storm also serves as a foil to Lightning McQueen, representing what he could've become if he hadn’t learned from Doc and Radiator Springs.
