Jackie Chan Adventures
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, searchPlot
The series features the fictional adventures of Jackie Chan, who is an archaeologist, martial arts expert and reluctant secret agent in the series. With help from his niece Jade, his grumpy old uncle (simply known as "Uncle") and his old friend Captain Black, he saves the world from evil forces that attempt to use magical artifacts to rule the world. Later seasons included other supporting characters that comprised the world-saving "J-Team". He often works for the spy group Section 13 against the criminal organization 'The Dark Hand' and various evil and supernatural forces. The first season involved the pursuit of twelve magical Talismans and becoming a Meng-hu. Subsequent seasons featured Talisman powers, but more prominently involved Jackie Chan's pursuit of other magical items. When he is not traveling around the world Jackie lives in the Chinatown part of San Francisco, California, where both Section 13 and Uncle's Antique Shop are located.
