Description[]
Personality[]
Storm is a racing prodigy who, like McQueen in his early career, is arrogant, self-assured, and dismissive of his rivals. Storm, on the other hand, views the older racers as an outmoded generation that needs to be replaced, in contrast to McQueen who genuinely admired The King and Doc Hudson. Storm is determined to defeat everyone who stands in his way, whether they are experienced competitors like McQueen or ominous rivals like Cruz Ramirez, because he believes the future of racing belongs to him. Storm is an expert at playing on emotions, and he frequently employs passive aggressive language to try to break down his opponents. Storm typically doesn't need touse physical force toprevail; his psychological strategy and impeccable technique usually suffice, but he was shown to be so determined to succeed that, when Cruz presented a genuine challenge, he was willing to push Cruz into the wall.

Biography[]
Past[]
At first, Storm was a cyber-sportsman, making a living playing racing video game called Super Corsa 3. His greatest achievement was winning a lot of money from a cyber-sport tournament organized by the CEO 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 to find Jackson and engage him in the real sport.
After that 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.
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[]
When he pulls off a surprise upset at the Copper Canyon Speedway and passes Lightning McQueen in the final lap to win, Jackson Storm makes his debut on the racing scene. While Storm puts on a happy face for the media and accepts McQueen's congratulations, his words to McQueen reveal his thinly veiled contempt.
Storm wins numerous races later in the season, which causes a significant change in the racing industry. A new generation of high-tech racers enters the scene as the older racers retire or are dropped by their sponsors. Only McQueen from the previous generation is still competing in the Los Angeles International Speedway's final race of the season. Storm ruins every situation.
Jackson Storm puts in a lot of work on the eve of the following season to get ready for the Florida 500, the season's first race. He breaks record after record while also setting the fastest lap in history.
Finally, the Florida 500 day arrives. Cruz Ramirez is spotted by Storm prior to the race, but Storm misinterprets her as a spectator due to the paint job adjustments she made as part of McQueen's preparation. He offers to take a picture of them in a somewhat patronizing manner, but is then confronted by McQueen. Having started in pole position, Storm leads the race for the majority of it until his crew chief alerts him that McQueen has been replaced by Ramirez, who is closing in on him. Storm initially dismisses it by calling her "the costume girl" in jest. However, when she moves up to fourth place, Storm becomes more worried and decides to use his knowledge of psychological warfare. He lowers himself to be next to her and accuses her of being a fraud, telling her that he shares her understanding that she has no business being on the racetrack. Storm, feeling good about himself, believes he has broken her spirit, but before he can blink, she is back and hot on his trail. As Storm diverts his attention with her own asides and throws him off balance, Ramirez trash talks him, Storm, at her wit's end, overtakes Ramirez as the two racers begin the final lap, drives her into the wall in a furious attempt to prevent her from winning the race. Ramirez, however, deftly avoids his maneuver by leaping over him and triumphs in the race, Storm finishes 2nd, depriving Storm of the triumphant season debut he had hoped for, it is unknown what happened to Jackson Storm after that.

Cars 3: Driven to Win[]
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 Chick being sure that Jackson will defeat Lightning, he is proved wrong when the latter wins instead. Enraged by his defeat, Jackson claims that the race was "fix" and boasts that he can beat "anyone, anywhere". He is thus dared to race at the Thunder Hollow Speedway, where he gets chased by Miss Fritter.
He is unlocked by completing the Master-level event Jackson Storm Race.

- The worst actions he did are mocking others and slamming Cruz Ramirez against the wall without causing serious injuries making him a jerk, not a villain, unlike Chick Hicks who crashes several other racers and even caused serious injuries against The King and Chuck Armstrong.
- Ultimately, he's just an arrogant racer focused on always winning.
