I just saw this and saw Jack Spicer and was instantly reminded about a cartoon my son watched when he was 5 or so. It was xaulin showdown and it had a bad guy named that. The only thing I knew about it is the name and he just liked saying it. Over and over. Like a mantra. Jack Spicerrrr. Jack spicerrr. Yes he was a weird kid.
So I guess in a way I heard of jack. I wonder if that's where they got the name?

Jack Spicer (voiced by Danny Cooksey) – The Xiaolin Warriors' first nemesis. Jack Spicer is notable for his robotic engineering, long rants, overuse of the word "evil" and his repetitive self-proclamation of "evil boy genius". He is responsible for releasing Wuya from the puzzle box that Grand Master Dashi locked her in, and aids her in finding Shen Gong Wu to conquer the world. Jack has aided the Xiaolin Warriors on occasion, and does show occasional leanings toward good.
