Jack of Clubs, also known as Jack Holcomb, is a minor DC Comics villain, primarily associated with Green Lantern (Hal Jordan). He is typically portrayed as a common criminal who gains temporary superpowers through a connection to playing cards or card-based technology.

His first appearance was in Green Lantern (vol. 2) #158 in 1983. In his initial appearances, Holcomb's powers stemmed from specially designed playing cards that granted him enhanced strength, speed, and durability. The effects were short-lived, dependent on the cards' energy source.

Over the years, Jack of Clubs has been depicted in various storylines, often serving as a henchman or low-level threat to Green Lantern. His character is generally considered a "villain of the week" type, lacking significant depth or grand ambitions. He represents the everyday criminal element empowered by unusual technology, a recurring theme in superhero comics.

Despite numerous appearances he remains a relatively obscure figure in the larger DC Universe.
