Friday the 13th part 2,3, and 4 all took place within a few day's of each other, and his appearance changes radically from one to the next.

Originally however, Jason wasn't ever imagined as a deformed child or person. The original creator's thought of Jason as just a normal boy with and over protective mother, and the deformities seen in the first movie were supposed to be manifestations of darker thought's rather than the actual representation of Jason himself. In regards to his deformities: In 1, he was a kid zombie at the end. His face was a bit deformed but mostly because he was a zombie. In 2, it was a number of years and the zombie child grew up. At the end of the movie, he had a deformed face and long hair. He also wore a sack over his head with a hole. He gained the hocky mask and it was about the next day. 4 was a couple months later. He lost his eye and was killed by that Tommy kid. He offically wasn't in 5, it was a poser named Roy. He was brought back to life via lightning in 6 (basis for the way he comes back in Mortal Kombat X). Which is why he was so zombie like. 7 and 8 was like 6 in the respect of his physical problems but he was getting more decayed. No eye changes. 9 he was more deformed because of the toxic waist he was drowned in from 8 and X was weird because they wanted a more classic Jason.

His deformed base was the cause of the kids teasing him at the camp. He was always meant to be slightly deformed.

Actually in Part 1, he was never actually in the film, the child jumping out of the lake was just a dream, and if you look at the maku up they did make him deformed. Sean Cunningham said in his mind that was just the manifisation of fear in Alice. This was later ret-conned so that Jason always had his physical deformities, but my point was he was not meant to be in the original idea for the film.

In part two, they stated that Jason had infact not drowned, but lived in the woods for years, and was drawn back to the camp by the choas casued in the first film and saw his mother ger her head cut off, which casued him to kill Alice. In part two he had long red hair and a very deformed right side of the head.

In part 3, which takes place the next day he look's drastically different, most notably he lacks the larger bone growth on the side of his head.

Then is Part 4, which literally start's the day afterwards, not a few months later, he has again gone through a large transformation in appearance.

After he is killed by Tommy, he goes through more transformation still, while some of these can be attributed to things like rot and decay, other's can not. In Part 7 his once lopsided head and partially functioning right eye are now fairly normally formed. No amount of decay should be able to reform his skull or move the placement of his eye back to a normal location.

My point is that Jason's appearance changes from film to film, some times radically, and it can't be explained by way of decay or rott.

The real answer to it is simple, their are different makeup artists for each film, and they each have their own vision of the character. And this is what has been done in Mortal Kombat, they've just decided to design him differently, and may in fact be more in line with the original idea for the character.

Jason wasn't dead until Part 4, and the first three films he appeared in, given the extremely narrow time period of them, their is no logical explanation for his change in appearance, even if he was a rotting corpse at the time he would of appeared to rot and decay, not just change his appearance.
