Jerome "The Kid" Johnson is a character in both Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider Anniversary.
Tomb Raider
- Main article: Skater Boy
Simply referred to as the "Skateboard Kid", he was one of the three Lara had to face whilst working through Natla's Mines. He wielded dual Uzis. He was not given a background for the first game.
Tomb Raider Anniversary
In addition to giving the character a name and a background story, during his appearances in Tomb Raider Anniversary his skateboard was removed. Toby Gard explained in the unlockable commentary that it made less sense to have him on a skateboard. [1]
Info From The Game
The Kid was small-time gang leader in Los Angeles until his crew tried to carjack Jacqueline Natla's limousine. Natla's bodyguard, Kin Kade, eliminated the entire gang but spared the Kid by his employer's request. Natla needed a contact in the West Coast criminal underground and the fast-talking Kid fit the job description. The Kid holds a grudge against Kin Kade for the murder of his blood brothers, but he's just smart enough not to act on any retaliatory impulses.
As Opponent
- Main articles: Skater Boy and Kid
Jerome "The Kid" Johnson is fought against in Tomb Raider, but in Tomb Raider Anniversary he is killed during an interactive cutscene.
