Jason Blossom is a minor character in the Archie Comics series, introduced in the "Love Showdown" series as the twin brother of Cheryl Blossom.

History and character

Jason is frequently depicted as being very arrogant due to his wealth and attractiveness. His hair is a somewhat darker shade of red than Cheryl's. Blossom lives with his family in Pembrooke, the "rich" side of Riverdale, and refers to those who live on the other side as "Townies". He is two minutes older than his sister, a fact which he is very proud of. One of Jason’s classmates from Pembrooke was his best friend and sidekick Cedric.

At a televised quiz program, similar to "Jeopardy!", Cedric, one of Jason's friends and cohorts, sabotages Dilton to guarantee that Pembrooke will win the event. However, Moose manages to win for Riverdale on a sports question and then clobbers Cedric. On his way to congratulate the winners, Jason refuses to help Cedric up, showing that he, like Cheryl, has limits.

Unlike most characters introduced in the 1980s, he still makes occasional appearances. He most often appeared during the 1990s, when the "Cheryl Blossom" series was published. During that time, the Blossom twins attended Pembrooke High, a private school for rich students. He rarely appears in stories that do not feature his sister, which is why he was used less when "Cheryl Blossom" ended as a series.

Relationships

Despite Jason's views, he is mainly attracted to Betty Cooper rather than Veronica Lodge, who is much closer to his social status. The two occasionally date, which sometimes makes Archie jealous. In very rare instances, he professes an interest for Veronica, Cheryl's rival. However, a possible relationship with either of them is hindered by his clique’s disdain for "townies".
