@ it_landry: If i remember my facts right Spring Heel Jack was drawn from the idea of Jack the Ripper.

I heard that too, but I think he came earlier, the facts get mixed up though so I wouldn't want to put money either way.
He did have a comic made of him though... rofl
The fact he was called Jack was because back in the day in was the thing to call any sort of villian or wrong-doer Jack, like calling someone a heel or a cad.
