      He could also be much more influential than Tommy ever was. Tommy's reach are only limited to Vice City as we know so far while sigma CJ literally manages one of the largest street gangs in LS, owning both a garage and a successful dealership in SF, and even owning shares at potentially the richest casino in LV. And if we so choose, he can own profitable properties around the map of the game, essentially granting him control over the entire state of San Andreas. Heck, his ties to a dangerous Chinese Triads and possibly government agency provided him protection from literally any threat. No one can even come close to laying a finger on CJ himself.

    CJ is my favourite character in gta by far, his dry sense of humour is perfect for making all the crazy stuff he goes through more palatable, and I mean just look at his resume by the end of the game. The man literally took on all of SA, including the most secret government base in America, a whole faction of the mafia, and (if you could be bothered) all gang territories in LS. Absolute king
