Assorted icons featuring characters from JumpStart 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain and JumpStart 4th Grade: Haunted Island, which were used on the JumpStart website during the 2010s for printable activities and worksheets.

The first villains to appear in the JumpStart series were Polly Sparks from JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade (left) and Ms. Grunkle from JumpStart Adventures 4th Grade: Haunted Island (right). They are tied for first since both games were released on the same day (December 2, 1996).

The main villain of JumpStart Adventures 4th Grade: Haunted Island is the witch Ms. Grunkle. The top image here is an in-game screenshot of her, and the bottom image is from a preview of the game released with KnowledgeLand. In the preview image, Ms. Grunkle is depicted with a pair of pince-nez glasses atop the tip of her nose, which is absent from her final design.
