28 Days Later[]
Jim was a bicycle courier who was involved in an accident and was in a coma during the onset of the virus outbreak. When he awakened, nearly all of London had been laid waste by the infected. Jim found two survivors, Selena and Mark, who helped him to stay alive. After Mark fell to the infection, Selena and he befriended a father and daughter named Frank and Hannah. They traveled together to Manchester in the hopes of finding a military base that held the answer to the virus. Frank was infected and subsequently killed during the journey. When the soldiers at the compound turned against them, Jim fought to protect Selena and Hannah, killing at least two soldiers in the process. The three were able to escape and eke out a new life for themselves.
Universal Monsters[]
Jim was a caretaker and groundskeeper who worked for the Banning family in Mapleton, Massachusetts. One evening in 1970 - on the night of a full moon, the living mummy of Kharis stalked the grounds, seeking to kill members of the Banning family. Jim had a chance encounter with the mummy and fired several shots from his rifle into him. Jim was so terrified that he collapsed into a comatose state upon the ground. (Mummy's Tomb, The)
The Walking Dead[]
Jim was a mechanic who lived in Atlanta, Georgia. When a zombie outbreak wiped out most of the country's population, Jim was fortunate enough to be counted among the survivors. Jim however did not feel at all fortunate as they only reason he survived was because his wife and children impeded the path of the walkers allowing Jim the chance to escape.
Jim found refuge with another group of survivors and stayed with them at their camp in the woods outside of Atlanta. When former police officer Rick Grimes needed information on where to gather weapons, Jim told him about the best places to scavenge for supplies.
Jim was the first of the group to suffer from a severe emotional breakdown. Consumed with grief and survivors' guilt, he began obsessively digging empty graves at the top of a hill. The others tried to get him to stop, but Jim wouldn't listen. Ultimately, Shane Walsh had to physically restrain Jim because his actions were scaring the other members of the group, particularly the children.
The following evening, a group of walkers raided the camp and Jim was bitten on the arm. For three days he suffered through the pain and fever of the slow-acting plague. Refusing a mercy killing or staying with the group, Jim was willingly abandoned at the entrance to Atlanta in the hopes that, upon reanimating, he could be reunited with the undead members of his family that may still exist.
