Part 2 Jason Voorhees Healing Factor

Friday the 13th Part 2 Novelization wrote:He remembers laying in the bushes and retching, vomiting up slimy worms and maggots as his body fought its way back to life. It never occurred to him to wonder what it was that made him different from the others. Why they shrank from him as rabbits shrank from snakes. He never asked himself why he was always healthy. Why the slight injuries of childhood had always healed so quickly. He had never broken any bones. So no one ever had the opportunity to notice the supernatural way his body could repair itself.

That's right! Part 2 Jason Voorhees aka Sackhead Jason or even overall Jason as a kid has always had a healing factor from the official novelization of the movies to book! this would explain how and why Jason could withstand so many injuries and yet it wouldn't affect him from part 2 to part 4 with me making a thread about Jason Lives Jason probably being the "1st" to reveal his healing factor but now that I have done more researching and reading of the official novels it seems the Friday the 13th Part 2 Novel was the first to confirm that yes! Jason has a regeneration ability! and yes it's from birth! and to inform it's specifically stated to be "Supernatural" as well.

hmm interesting but makes sense considering he survived being hung and hit with a machete

Makes sense to me.

I'm happy to see people agreeing!
