* TheSociopath: Oh yes. Phillip kills without remorse and is outright labelled as a sociopath by Karen Hayes.
** He kills his own loyal son because he might implicate him, then he tries to kill his other son for the same reason, puts his grandson in harms way, same for his daughter in law. First, because he was trying to cover up his mess with the nuclear weapons, not giving a fuck if thousands more were killed becaude of them. And then, he allies with the Chinese and helps them to get a device which, if they get, would produce a war between the three powers. He also took part in the Sentox conspiracy. For Philip, the most important thing is his company and his legacy.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Deconstructed. If he Jack sees or knows of someone in trouble, he will help them regardless of laws or politics or the cost to himself.himself. However, the stress this puts him under is shown to be the reason why Jack is such a psychological mess, and he admits himself in Season 7 that the desire to save everyone he can gives him such tunnel vision that it allows him to [[IDidWhatIHadToDo justify the often horrifying means]] he uses to achieve this goal, even though deep down he knows that there is no justification for his actions.
-->'''Jack Bauer:''' I can't tell you what to do. I've been wrestling with this my whole life. I - I see 15 people held hostage on a bus, and everything else goes out the window. I will do whatever it takes to save them - and I mean whatever it takes. I guess maybe I thought if I save them, I could save myself.\\
'''Renee Walker:''' Do you regret anything that you did today?\\
'''Jack Bauer:''' No. But then again, I don't work for the F.B.I.\\
'''Renee Walker:''' I don't understand.\\
'''Jack Bauer:''' You took an oath. You made a promise to uphold the law. When you cross that line, it always starts with a small step. Before you know it, you're running as fast as you can in the wrong direction, just to justify what you started in the fist place. These laws were written by much smarter men than me. And in the end, I know that these laws have to be more important than the 15 people on the bus. I know that's right. In my mind, I know that's right. I-I just don't think my heart could ever have lived with that. I guess the only advice I can give you is try to make choices that you can live with.

* GoodIsNotNice: From his willingness to kill in cold blood (though he's never killed anyone who [[KickTheSonOfABitch didn't deserve it]]), to his penchant for torture, Jack epitomizes this trope. Though he actually is a nice guy when there isn't a crisis afoot.

Punctuation and occupation


He took a leadership role in various covert and undercover missions, and served as both Special Agent in Charge and Director of Field Operations of CTU Los Angeles. His dedication to keeping U.S. citizens safe led him to make some deep personal sacrifices. Jack lost his job, his family, his friends, and, for a period of nearly two years after Day 5, his freedom. He showed his willingness to sacrifice his life on multiple occasions, but each time his sacrifice ultimately proved to be unnecessary.

** Nina Myers (season 1-3), his ex lieutenant and lover,who turned to be a mole, and his wife and unborn child's murderer. She probably is the person Jack hates the most, and is, in Jack's words, worse than a traitor, considering she only cares about money and her own well being.
** Charles Logan (seasons 4-8). The man responsible for the Sentox conspiracy, and (semi-directly) for the deaths of David Palmer, Michelle Dessler, and Tony Almeida, not to mention all the others who died because of the entire conspiracy. And then, for the cover up of Renee Walker's death. He also is everything Jack hates about politicians (and people in general). Of all his enemies (and villains in 24) , Logan possibly is the most powerful and influencial, the only one he returns the hatred Jack feels for him, and the one who has the biggest claim for the Big Bad's spot for the series.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Despite saving America ''every single season'', Jack always has to convince whatever idiot of the week is in charge of CTU or the White House that maybe, just maybe, he isn't involved with the villain's plans and they should trust his judgement.
* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: He served in the U.S. Army Delta Force before joining CTU.

** He also never tried to release a prion that was going to kill thousands. Sure, he might have started world war 3, but that was more indirecr, and he was in denial (although not at Tony's level). All and all, Jack shows himself to be quitw more resilient that Tony (he has lost more than him through the show), and even when he falls to his fury, to be more decent.

** At difference of almost everyone else who says this, he does not hold it as a badge of pride, nor does he hide behind it, nor does he avoid his responsibility for his brutal actions, or use it as an excuse/justification. He also carries a lot of sufferment because of this and honestly wishes he didn't have to resort to such extreme methods to save lives.
