| “ | The other power companies may tinker with new ideas, but you can't reliably power homes with good intentions. While laugh power has its merits, it's not who we are. It's a monster's nature to be scary. Fear, it's our tradition, but it's also human children's. We may rely on their screams to power our city, but human children need us to be terrifying. They tell stories about us at sleepovers and around campfires. We have a responsibility to keep kids scared, and I take that responsibility very seriously, as did my father before me. Fear Co. will continue that proud tradition, because fear is power. Let fear power you. | „ |

| ~ Johnny's sinister catchprase to Tylor |
Jonathan James "Johnny" Worthington III, also known as The Jaw, is the secondary antagonist of Pixar's Monsters, Inc. franchise.
He is the former CEO of Fear Co., Mike Wazowski's arch-nemesis and James P. Sullivan's former friend turned 2nd arch-nemesis, Randall Boggs' old collegemate and 2nd boss following the arrest of Henry J. Waternoose III, and Tylor Tuskmon's archenemy and evil counterpart.
He started off as the leader of the Roar Omega Roar (RΩR) fraternity during his time at Monsters University, however, years later he had taken an apparently more benevolent role after inheriting Fear Co. from his father, however Johnny's role was in reality much darker as he had been keeping watch on Tylor the moment he found out Laugh Power is more efficient than Scream Power and plotted to turn him against Monsters Inc and sink his rival company to ensure Fear Co's reign.
He was voiced by Nathan Fillion.

- Though he was affable with Sulley, he only let James P. Sullivan in the team only for being a "Sullivan" like his father, and Johnny's affability was subverted.
- When he meet Mike, Johnny mockingly told to him that he can't be on his team, and mockingly he told to Mike he can join to Oozma Kappa, because "they are a little more of his speed" and "they look fun". Also Johnny told mockingly to Mike that he "go crazy!" with the Oozmas.

- He laughed when Mike said he wanted to participate in the Scare Games.
- He arrogantly and mockingly told to Mike and Sulley that the whole team had to cross the finish line, after reaching the finish line without the rest of Oozma Kappa.
- While he did invite Oozma Kappa to his party, it was only so he could dump humiliate the group, taking sadistic pleasure in this.
- At first, when all the monsters say "Oozma Kappa!", paint falls on them, becoming covered in pink, purple, orange, yellow, light blue, and green.

- After Mike told him that he wanted Johnny stop making Oozmas look like fools, Johnny told him that Oozma Kappa make themselves look like fools.
- He arrogantly told to Oozma Kappa that they never gonna be real scarers, because real scarers look like his teammates of Roar Omega Roar. Also this is the reason why Johnny bullies Oozma Kappa,because he thinks they are so adorable,and not scarers like him and his team.
- He also mockingly told the Oozmas that if they really want to work in a real scare company, Monsters, Inc. always hiring in the mailroom.
- When Mike train Oozma Kappa,He And Chet saw it as something funny,not to say that it was mocking of Mike's team.

- Not only was he not punished for his actions in Monsters University, but he also kept the trophy that Sulley gave him, turning him into Karma Houdini.
Monsters at Work[]
- Though Johnny seemed very affable towards Tylor at first, as seen when he saved him from getting ran over, comforting after the football game by saying that he has potential and offering him a job at FearCo, it was very much him manipulating him for his plans. Plus, by the time of "Powerless", he ultimately subverts any attachments he might've had towards Tylor as seen when threatening him and calling him a joke.
- Despite seemingly feeling bad for Mike and Sulley on what happened with Jack and Jill, it's unknown if he actually did feel sorry for them as he never really apologized to them for bullying them back in their college days.
- His ultimate goal of powering Monstropolis was solely to preserve his own legacy, and he didn't care how many children or monsters he had to hurt to achieve this goal.
- It’s worth nothing that his plan would have gotten Monsters Inc. shut down, putting dozens of monsters out of their jobs.
- He's perfectly fine with Monsters sneaking into kids' rooms' at night and scaring them.
- On top of this, he made Tylor scare a child named Ben in order to get scare power, despite Ben being one of Tylor's favorite children to laugh.
- He broke into a trailer home and scared it's residents so he could grab Randall and bring back to the Monster World.
- Wile this could be justified as he did that to save Randall, as mentioned above, it's debatable if he even cared about Randall or if he just saw him as useful for his plans.
- He had Randall steal energy from Monsters Incorporated and frame Tylor for it.
- He also enabled Randall's acts of petty theft.
- He mixed Monsters Inc's laugh energy with Fear Co.'s scream energy and passed it off as a "scream amplifier."
- He ignored Tylor's constant warning that this would cause an explosion that would destroy Monstropolis.
- He assaulted Tylor when he tried to take the button for the "scream amplifier" from him.
- He seems to have subverted any honor he showed in Monsters University.
Why He Doesn't Stand Out?[]
- While he passes the baseline through his personal villainy towards Mike and Sulley as well as other acts, he fails the average heinous standards to Randall Boggs and Henry J. Waternoose III, as unlike Randall, he had no idea that mixing scream and laugh energy would destroy all of Monstropolis, making him unintentionally heinous, while Waternoose has kidnapped Boo and attempted to kidnap thousand children to save his company, although it may be a hyperbole due to how he was desperate to save his own company from power shortage.
- He does seem to genuinely care about his family, even having two of his kid's drawings portraited in his office.
