Jack-in-the-Box doesn't want to risk his baby growing up fatherless...but he knows that Jack-in-the-Box can't retire, either...a dilemma that comes to a head in "Father's Day."

Jack-in-the-Box's origins are revealed.

After meeting a third alternate version of his future son, Jack-in-th-Box is afraid to have a too dangerous life for his family, risking his life every day of the week. He decides to train Roscoe James, one of the Trouble Boys, and to give him the costume and the role of Jack-in-the-Box. He lets Roscoe do the fighting, while he helps and teaches him from behind a screen in his appartment.
