<p>Introduced in <em>[[Sonic Riders]]</em>, Jet was created as a rival to [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and has remained one of the franchise's recurring speed-focused challengers ever since. Proud, sharp-tongued, and obsessed with both treasure and reputation, he carries himself with supreme confidence and rarely tolerates humiliation or second place. Despite his selfish streak and life as a thief, Jet values skill and fair competition, and his long-running rivalry with Sonic has become one of the defining parts of his role in the series.[ref name="Riders web Jet"][cite_web url="http://www2.sega.com/gamesite/sonicriders/" title="Sonic Riders official website" access-date="April 4, 2026" work="Characters: Jet" publisher="Sega" url-status="dead" archive-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20080516042022/http://www.sega.com/gamesite/sonicriders/" archive-date="May 16, 2008"][/ref][ref name="SFR"][cite_manual game="Sonic Free Riders" system="Xbox 360" region="United States" page="13"][/ref]</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jet was created for <em>[[Sonic Riders]]</em> as a rival to [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] in the field of high-speed [[Extreme Gear]] racing. According to game designer [[Takashi Yuda]], Jet and the rest of the [[Babylon Rogues]] were conceived by [[Sonic Team]] as "air pirates" who would serve as Sonic's new rivals.[cite_web archiveurl="https://web.archive.org/web/20060221103132/ps2.gamespy.com/playstation-2/sonic-riders/682225p2.html" title="Sega Talks <em>Sonic Riders</em>" work="GameSpy" date="20 January 2006" url="https://ps2.gamespy.com/playstation-2/sonic-riders/682225p2.html" archivedate="21 February 2006" accessdate="04 April 2026"]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Within the broader series, Jet is notable for being the second green bird character with red shoes to be introduced, following [[Bean the Dynamite]] from <em>[[Sonic the Fighters]]</em>. His role, design, and competitive attitude were built around contrasting Sonic's reputation as the fastest on foot with Jet's confidence as a master of speed in the air.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Appearance</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jet is an anthropomorphic hawk with green feathers covering most of his body and white feathers on the front of his torso. His beak is golden, and his eyes are bright blue with red and black markings at the sides. He has a mohawk-like crest with dark green tips, matching the dark green tips on his long three-feathered tail. His wrists and upper arms are marked with dark green, flame-like patterns.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:image {"lightbox":{"enabled":true},"id":53152,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"right"} -->
<figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-medium"><img src="https://sonic-city.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Sonic-Riders-Jet-the-Hawk-188x300.png" alt="" class="wp-image-53152"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Jet the Hawk, from <em>[[Sonic Riders]]</em>.</figcaption></figure>
<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>For clothing, Jet wears white gloves with visible lining, red and black cuffs, and dark gray wristbands. He also wears red, black, and white boots with matching cuffs and gray soles. His most recognizable accessory is a pair of goggles with yellow lenses, silver frames, and dark gray straps, which he typically wears on his forehead but can pull over his eyes while riding.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Across later appearances, Jet's overall design has remained consistent, though he has also been depicted in several alternate outfits, including seasonal and racing-themed costumes in spin-off titles such as <em>[[Sonic Forces: Speed Battle]]</em> and <em>[[Sonic Speed Simulator]]</em>. In the April 2026 [[Sonic Channel]] wallpaper, he was shown wearing half-rim glasses instead of his usual goggles while holding a bag of gold coins and a gold bar, emphasizing both his sharp, self-assured image and his fondness for treasure.[ref name="SCWallpaperApr2026"][cite_web url="https://sonic-city.net/2026/04/07/heres-the-april-wallpaper-from-sonic-channel-%e2%99%aa/" title="Here’s the April Wallpaper from Sonic Channel! ♪" website="Sonic City" date="April 7, 2026" access-date="April 7, 2026"][/ref]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Personality and traits</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jet is extremely arrogant, confident, and prideful, with a massive ego built around his speed, skill, and reputation. He tends to look down on others, boasts openly about his own abilities, and has little patience for anyone he considers slow, incompetent, or beneath him. He is also highly sensitive about losing and hates being pitied, seeing it as an insult rather than sympathy. At the same time, he is capable of acknowledging talent when someone genuinely impresses him, although even his praise often comes with a sharp edge.[ref name="Channel Jet"][cite_web url="http://sonic.sega.jp/chara/jet/index.html" title="Sonic Channel" access-date="April 4, 2026" work="Characters: Jet" publisher="Sega" archive-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20080708133642/http://sonic.sega.jp/chara/jet/index.html" archive-date="July 8, 2008"][/ref][ref name="SFR"][cite_manual game="Sonic Free Riders" system="Xbox 360" region="United States" page="13"][/ref]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>His attitude is usually rude, snide, and openly disrespectful. Jet enjoys mocking other people, rubbing in victories, and insulting both rivals and allies when they annoy him. This extends even to his own teammates, [[Storm the Albatross|Storm]] and [[Wave the Swallow|Wave]], whom he frequently talks down to or brushes aside. He is especially dismissive when Wave gives lengthy explanations, often demanding that she simplify things or tuning her out entirely. Despite this abrasive behavior, his arrogance is balanced by a strong concern for image, and he rarely wants others to see any insecurity, weakness, or vulnerability in him.[ref name="SFR" /][ref name="Channel Jet" /]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:image {"lightbox":{"enabled":true},"id":53157,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} -->
<figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://sonic-city.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Sonic-Free-Riders-Jet-the-Hawk-Profile-300x204.png" alt="" class="wp-image-53157"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Jet’s character profile, from the <em>[[Sonic Free Riders]]</em> manual.</figcaption></figure>
<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Although Jet often comes across as lazy or nonchalant, he is not oblivious to his position. As leader of the [[Babylon Rogues]], he does understand his responsibilities, even if he does not always take them seriously. This frustrates Wave, but Jet still knows how to assert his authority when needed. He is strict when it comes to failure, expects competence from his team, and dislikes anything that makes the Rogues look foolish or brutish. Over time, he has shown some maturity as a leader, becoming more dependable and ultimately loyal to his teammates despite his selfish tendencies.[ref name="SFR" /][ref name="StHAnnual2019s1"]<em>[[Sonic the Hedgehog Annual 2019]]</em>, "Bonds of Friendship"[/ref][ref name="StH25"][[<em>IDW Sonic the Hedgehog</em> Issue 25]], "A Sudden Shift"[/ref] Official character material has also highlighted the charisma he carries as a rival and team leader, presenting him as someone whose confidence naturally pulls others along even when his ego is impossible to ignore.[ref name="SCWallpaperApr2026" /]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jet is also deeply greedy and highly motivated by treasure, money, and anything else that can enrich him and the Babylon Rogues. Aside from himself, treasure is one of the things he values most.[ref name="Channel Jet" /] He takes pride in being a professional thief and is most interested in targets that promise real profit or legendary value. Even when striking a cool or composed pose, his greed tends to show through, making it one of his most consistent and recognizable traits. This gives him an anti-heroic edge throughout the series, as he is usually more concerned with securing treasure than with heroism or world-saving. If there is nothing worthwhile to gain, he can quickly lose interest, especially if the objective feels more complicated than profitable.[ref name="SCWallpaperApr2026" /]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In spite of his selfishness, Jet is not without standards. He is fiercely competitive and loves any challenge that demands skill, stamina, and precision, especially [[Extreme Gear]] racing. More importantly, he despises cheating when it undermines the value of victory. Even when he wants badly to surpass [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], Jet wants that win to come from his own ability rather than dishonest tactics. Because of this, he is willing to accept a loss, seek a rematch, and keep pushing himself until he can prove his worth properly. Recent official material has likewise emphasized that Jet turns his pride into discipline, continuing to sharpen his skills and improve his gear in pursuit of victory.[ref name="SCWallpaperApr2026" /] This sense of pride, while often unpleasant, also gives him a certain degree of honor as a rival and racer.[ref name="Riders web Jet"][cite_web url="http://www2.sega.com/gamesite/sonicriders/" title="Sonic Riders official website" access-date="July 9, 2008" work="Characters: Jet" publisher="Sega" url-status="dead" archive-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20080516042022/http://www.sega.com/gamesite/sonicriders/" archive-date="May 16, 2008"][/ref]</p>

<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jet became the next leader of the [[Babylon Rogues]] after succeeding his father, continuing the legacy of a band of legendary thieves whose lineage traces back to the ancient Babylonians. As revealed in <em>[[Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity]]</em>, Jet and the other Rogues are descendants of aliens who arrived on Earth by traveling through a black hole generated by the [[Arks of the Cosmos]].[ref]<em>[[Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity]]</em>[/ref] Over time, the ship that brought their ancestors to the planet became known as [[Babylon Garden]]. Unable to return home, Jet's forebears developed [[Extreme Gear]] technology and built a reputation as master riders and treasure hunters, a legacy that Jet, [[Wave the Swallow|Wave]], and [[Storm the Albatross|Storm]] continue in the present day.[ref]<em>[[Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity]]</em>[/ref]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jet made his debut in <em>[[Sonic Riders]]</em>, where he led the Babylon Rogues into the [[EX World Grand Prix]] after [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]] hired them to challenge [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and his friends while collecting the [[Chaos Emerald]]s for him. In truth, Eggman intended to use the competition and the Rogues to uncover the secrets of Babylon Garden and claim its treasure for himself.[ref]<em>[[Sonic Riders]]</em>[/ref] As leader, Jet carried the ancient [[Treasure of Babylon Garden|control box]] that had been passed down through generations of Babylon Rogue leaders, tying him directly to that inheritance.[cite_manual game="Sonic Riders" system="PC" region="UK" page="7" file="https://sonic-city.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Sonic-Riders-PC-Manual-UK.pdf"]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>During the tournament, Jet quickly established himself as Sonic's new rival in speed. Confident in his superiority on [[Extreme Gear]], he looked down on Sonic's running ability and treated the race as proof that he, not Sonic, was the true master of speed in the air.[ref]<em>[[Sonic Riders]]</em>[/ref] Although the Rogues were initially acting in their own self-interest, the conflict ultimately led them to Babylon Garden itself, where the long-lost treasure of the Babylonians was revealed to be the [[Magic Carpet]], a prototype for Extreme Gear technology rather than a conventional pile of riches.[ref]<em>[[Sonic Riders]]</em>[/ref]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>After those events, Jet's rivalry with Sonic endured. He remained determined to prove himself the faster of the two whenever the chance arose, especially in aerial racing, and continued to define himself through that competition.[ref]<em>[[Sonic Riders]]</em>[/ref] His heritage, leadership of the Babylon Rogues, and status as the self-proclaimed fastest rider in the air have remained central to his role in the series ever since.</p>

<p>Taken together, Jet's speed, aerial finesse, combat ability, piloting skill, and experience as a thief make him a formidable all-around talent.

<p>In battle, Jet also wields a pair of large fans known as the [[Bashōsen]]. He uses them with great skill, both to produce strong gusts that throw enemies off balance and to engage in close combat.

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As the leader of the [[Babylon Rogues]], Jet occupies a commanding position over [[Storm the Albatross]], who typically addresses him as "boss" rather than by name and tries his best to carry out his orders. Jet usually treats Storm more like a subordinate than an equal, often giving him assignments and expecting him to follow through without question.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Storm's loyalty to Jet is one of the clearest dynamics within the Babylon Rogues. He consistently backs Jet's decisions, even when doing so makes both of them seem foolish or overly stubborn. Jet, for his part, values Storm's support and commitment, though he is easily irritated when Storm's eagerness causes the group to look clumsy or incompetent. Storm also has a tendency to take Jet's words too literally, which can create problems, but Jet still relies on him as his right-hand man. Despite Jet's frequent frustration and bossy attitude, the two do care about one another. Their bond is especially evident when they continue to ride and fight side by side even in dangerous situations, showing that their partnership goes beyond simple command and obedience.[ref][[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 26|<em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> #26]], "All or Nothing, Part 1"[/ref][ref][[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 27|<em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> #27]], "All or Nothing, Part 2"[/ref][ref][[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 28|<em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> #28]], "All or Nothing, Part 3"[/ref]</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jet is also the leader of [[Wave the Swallow]], though their relationship differs noticeably from his relationship with Storm. Unlike Storm, Wave addresses Jet by name rather than calling him "boss." In the Japanese versions of the games, however, she uses the honorific "-sama," suggesting a degree of formal respect. Wave is the engineer behind Jet's [[Type-J]], and her intelligence and technical skill make her one of his most valuable teammates. Jet knows that Wave is dependable and capable, but he is often impatient with her tendency to explain things at length. He regularly dismisses her lectures as long-winded or boring, preferring quick, simple answers over detail. Wave, in turn, frequently acts as the voice of reason when Jet gets carried away by pride, greed, or impulse. This often puts them at odds, as Jet does not like being corrected or slowed down, even when he understands that she is making sense.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Their arguments can be frequent and distracting, but beneath the bickering there is clear mutual trust. Jet relies on Wave's inventions, intelligence, and support, while Wave continues to stand by him as part of the Babylon Rogues. In dangerous situations, the two remain willing to ride and fight together through to the end, showing that their bond is stronger than their constant verbal clashes.[ref name="StH26"][[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 26|<em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> #26]], "All or Nothing, Part 1"[/ref][ref name="StH28"][[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 28|<em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> #28]], "All or Nothing, Part 3"[/ref]</p>

<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jet and [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] have been rivals ever since their first meeting. Their relationship began in <em>[[Sonic Riders]]</em>, where Jet initially believed himself superior in [[Extreme Gear]] racing and openly mocked Sonic for being slower in the air. During the final course of the [[World Grand Prix]], Jet was shocked to find himself losing to Sonic. Although he won that race, the victory was tainted by [[Wave the Swallow|Wave]]'s sabotage of Sonic's gear, something Jet had not knowingly agreed to. When he later learned the truth, he rejected the idea of winning through unfair means and made it clear that he wanted to defeat Sonic through his own skill rather than cheating. By the end of <em>[[Sonic Riders]]</em>, the rivalry had already started to take on a more mutual and even friendly quality. The two parted with the understanding that they would race each other again. In <em>[[Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity]]</em>, their competition continued, with another race ending in a draw. Even after the main conflict was over, Jet immediately sought one more challenge against Sonic, reinforcing how central that rivalry had become to his identity.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Their relationship is rooted above all in their shared love of speed. Sonic tends to treat Jet as an entertaining, talented rival and often teases him without taking his ego too seriously. Jet, by contrast, sees Sonic as the one racer who truly matters and constantly tries to prove himself superior, often mocking him by using his full name. Even so, there is genuine respect underneath the bragging and taunting. Sonic recognizes Jet's ability despite knowing he is a thief, and Jet respects Sonic enough to trust him when the stakes rise beyond a race.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That trust has shown itself more than once. Although Jet often dismisses Sonic as a self-righteous "goodie-goodie," he can still be persuaded to work with him when a greater danger threatens everyone. His ego also means that Sonic's praise or challenges can easily motivate him. In turn, Jet's respect for Sonic runs deep enough that he is willing to believe Sonic will come through when it truly matters.[ref][[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 25|<em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> #25]], "A Sudden Shift"[/ref]</p>

<!-- /wp:quote -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jet first encountered [[Master Zik]] during a conflict in [[Winterburg]]. During their clash, Zik criticized Jet's leadership after Jet had accidentally left [[Wave the Swallow|Wave]] and [[Storm the Albatross|Storm]] behind. Zik also tried to provoke him directly, challenging both his pride and his ability as a leader.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jet, unwilling to admit defeat or show weakness, refused to beg for mercy even when pressed. Instead, he left the matter of dealing with Zik to his allies. Afterward, he did not pursue Zik further, apparently deciding that the old master was no longer worth his attention once he had ceased being an immediate obstacle to the Babylon Rogues.[ref name="StH30"][[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 30|<em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> #30]], "Cured"[/ref][ref name="StH26" /][ref name="StH28" /]</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jet's relationship with [[Whisper the Wolf]] is relatively neutral, but he appears to hold a surprisingly favorable opinion of her. After seeing what she could do, he was impressed enough to suggest that she would make a good member of the [[Babylon Rogues]] and even tried to recruit her. Whisper declined the offer, but Jet did not seem especially bothered by the rejection, suggesting that his interest in her was more a matter of admiration for her skill than any deeper personal attachment.[ref name="StHA2022"]<em>[[Sonic the Hedgehog Annual 2022]]</em>, "Another Grand Adventure for Jet the Hawk"[/ref]</p>

<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jet first met [[Surge the Tenrec]] during the [[Clean Sweepstakes]]. During the second race, he became annoyed when the [[Phantom Rider]] appeared and Surge intervened. Although Jet ultimately won the race, the crowd's attention went to Surge instead of him, which left him irritated and resentful. His frustration only grew during the following race in [[Misty Spire]], where Surge's constant showboating and loud attitude grated on him. Jet openly snapped at her and told her to be quiet, making it clear that the two had little respect for each other. Even when [[Wave the Swallow|Wave]] tried to calm him down and help him ignore Surge's behavior, Jet remained agitated and suspicious of her. Their interactions suggest a rivalry built less on mutual admiration, as with Sonic, and more on clashing egos and irritation.[ref][[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 70|<em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> #70]], "Story two"[/ref][ref][[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 71|<em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> #71]], "Story three"[/ref]</p>

<!-- wp:heading {"level":5} -->
<h5 class="wp-block-heading">Battle Bird Armada </h5>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Before founding the Babylon Rogues, Jet had been a member of the [[Battle Bird Armada]], having joined while still young in pursuit of glory and recognition. As an exceptionally skilled flier, he impressed many within the organization and in particular earned the admiration of the sixteenth [[Battle Kukkus|Battle Kukku]], [[Speedy (Archie)|Speedy]]. However, Jet's arrogance and refusal to follow orders created a reputation for insubordination. Although the [[Grand Battle Kukku XV|Battle Lord]] believed Jet could help fulfill the Armada's destiny by locating the [[Babylon Garden (Archie)|Babylon Garden]], Jet had no interest in conquest and rejected the Battle Lord's attempts to sway him. For his defiance, he was imprisoned.[ref][[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 18]][/ref][ref][[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 33]][/ref][ref][[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 34]][/ref] </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>While in the brig, Jet met [[Wave the Swallow (Archie)|Wave the Swallow]] and [[Storm the Albatross (Archie)|Storm the Albatross]], who had likewise been imprisoned for their own offenses. He soon broke them all out, and the three chose to band together to find the Babylon Garden before the Armada could claim it. When Speedy confronted them in the hangar and pleaded to come with them, Jet refused, telling him that the newly formed [[Babylon Rogues (Archie)|Babylon Rogues]] would follow a destiny of their own and that Speedy would have to find his. Lacking any available [[Extreme Gear (Archie)|Extreme Gear]], the group fled in a stolen zeppelin and thereafter became one of the Armada's primary targets.[ref][[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 20]][/ref][ref][[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 33]][/ref]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Life after leaving the Armada proved difficult, especially when it came to maintaining their equipment and finding supplies. At one point, Wave infiltrated the [[Battle Fortress (Archie)|Battle Fortress]] and returned with [[Predator Hawk]], another disobedient Armada soldier she had freed from confinement. Predator joined the team, though he resented Jet's leadership and considered him unworthy of it. After the Rogues stole a golden bird idol from some ruins, Jet and Predator attempted to sell it to [[Mammoth Mogul]] for an inflated price. Mogul agreed, provided that Predator accompany him, and Predator left the group soon afterward.[ref][[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 163]][/ref][ref][[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 30]][/ref] </p>

<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jet's temporary association with [[Doctor Eggman (Archie)|Dr. Eggman]] began after he used his [[Extreme Gear (Archie)|Extreme Gear]] to steal a vapor accelerator meant to enhance his board. He was captured by [[Egg Pawn (Archie)|Egg Pawn]]s after being struck by an [[Egg Hammer (Archie)|Egg Hammer]], but Eggman, intrigued by Jet's speed, offered him a chance to live if he could defeat [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]. Jet accepted on the condition that [[Wave the Swallow (Archie)|Wave]] and [[Storm the Albatross (Archie)|Storm]] could join him. The Rogues then entered [[Knothole]] and triggered the settlement's security system in order to lure Sonic out, with Jet immediately claiming superiority over him. After each of the Rogues landed a hit on Sonic, they formally introduced themselves.[ref][[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 163]][/ref]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The following day, the Rogues returned to Knothole expecting Sonic to still be reeling from the encounter, only to find Sonic, [[Miles "Tails" Prower (Archie)|Tails]], and [[Knuckles the Echidna (Archie)|Knuckles the Echidna]] arriving on [[Extreme Gear (Archie)]] of their own, built by Tails. Outraged, Jet declared that he would trash Knothole on principle, and a showdown followed between the two trios. [ref][[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 164]][/ref]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:heading {"level":5} -->
<h5 class="wp-block-heading">Pursuing the Armada and Sol stealing</h5>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sometime later, Jet and the Babylon Rogues appeared near [[Cocoa Island (Archie)|Cocoa Island]], seemingly planning an assault on the Battle Bird Armada. When Wave noted the damaged state of the [[Battle Fortress (Archie)|Battle Fortress]], Jet dismissed the matter and insisted that only the Rogues had the right to reclaim the relics of their ancestors.[ref][[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 20]][/ref]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Soon after, the Rogues traced an unusual energy signal to [[Northamer]]'s [[Great Forest]], where [[Team Hooligan (Archie)|Team Hooligan]] was fleeing a conflict between Teams Dark and Rose. Descending from their blimp, Jet and his allies stole the source of the signal, a [[Sol Emerald (Archie)|Sol Emerald]]. The situation became more chaotic when Team Hooligan member [[Bean the Dynamite (Archie)|Bean the Dynamite]], another former Armada bird, latched onto Jet in excitement, much to Jet's annoyance. Even so, the Rogues escaped temporarily after dodging [[Nack the Weasel (Archie)|Nack the Weasel]]'s attacks.[ref][[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 22]][/ref][ref][[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 23]][/ref]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Team Hooligan pursued them aboard the [[Marvellous Queen (Archie)|Marvellous Queen]]. Before the Rogues could regroup with their blimp, one of Nack's shots struck the Sol Emerald, triggering a fiery blast that sent them crashing down. When Nack recovered the gem, Jet ordered the blimp's autopilot to drop its full payload of bombs, but the plan failed when Bean caused the bombs to detonate early. Matters escalated further when [[Team Dark (Archie)|Team Dark]] and [[Team Rose(Archie)|Team Rose]] arrived, creating a four-way struggle over the Emerald. [ref][[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 23]][/ref]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jet later stole the Emerald back from Nack and attempted a quick escape, but [[Shadow the Hedgehog (Archie)|Shadow the Hedgehog]] used [[Chaos Control (Archie)|Chaos Control]] to appear on Jet's board and knock him to the ground, costing him the gem again. In the ensuing melee, Jet was struck first by [[Amy Rose (Archie)|Amy Rose]]'s [[Piko-Piko Hammer (Archie)|Piko-Piko Hammer]] and then sent into [[Bark the Polar Bear (Archie)|Bark the Polar Bear]]'s fist. As Team Dark and Team Rose began coordinating against the others, Shadow hounded Jet with repeated teleportation attacks, forcing him into evasive maneuvers before driving him into a collision with his own teammates and Team Hooligan. After another explosion ended the conflict, Wave overruled Jet's orders to continue and dragged the protesting hawk from the battlefield, furious over the damage done to their Extreme Gear. [ref][[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 24]][/ref]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:heading {"level":5} -->
<h5 class="wp-block-heading">Babylon Rising</h5>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>While following Storm on an unreliable treasure lead at [[Soleanna (Archie)|Soleanna]]'s library, Jet's fortunes changed when Wave discovered a book written in ancient Babylonian. From her translation, the Rogues learned the location of a key that could lead them to the [[Babylon Garden]]. Following the book's instructions, they reached underground ruins in the [[Gigan Mountains]] and located the [[Key to Babylon Garden (Archie)|Key to Babylon Garden]], though Jet's impatience repeatedly irritated Wave during the search. [ref][[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 33]][/ref]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ignoring Wave's warning to watch for traps, Jet removed the key and activated a defense mechanism that sealed the room and unleashed its guardian, [[Angelus]]. Though initially dismissive of the being as a mere hologram, Jet was forced onto the defensive when he discovered it could attack through force fields. Working with Wave and Storm, he helped destroy the projectors sustaining it and personally smashed the last one, defeating the guardian. With the ruins collapsing around them, Jet reminded his teammates that claiming the key had always been the reason they became Rogues in the first place.

<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The trio barely escaped to the surface before being cornered by Speedy and the Battle Bird Armada. After a brief standoff, the Rogues fled, with Jet easily outmaneuvering the Armada's attacks. During the pursuit, however, Speedy managed to wound Jet's arm and repeatedly strike him until he crashed. Wave and Storm came to his aid, only for the [[Grand Battle Kukku XV|Battle Lord]] to enter the fight, incapacitate them, and capture Jet using a compressed gravity field generated by his [[Gravity Ring (Archie)|ancestral ring]]. Forced to surrender, Jet handed over the key when threatened with death. The Battle Lord then revealed that his family knew how to activate it, producing a holographic map that exposed Babylon Garden's location.[ref][[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 33]][/ref][ref][[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 34]][/ref]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Later, after being briefed on [[New Mobotropolis]]' defenses, Jet was given back the key and the Battle Lord's ring and ordered to keep Sonic occupied while the Armada attacked the city. Once Sonic had been lured far enough away, Jet used the ring to imprison him in a gravity field while the Battle Fortress opened a massive hole beneath [[Castle Acorn]]. Believing the difficult part already done, Jet abandoned his forced loyalty to the Armada and descended to claim Babylon Garden for himself.[ref][[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 35]][/ref][ref][[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 36]][/ref]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sonic caught up during the descent and attacked the Rogues, enraged by Jet's willingness to endanger his home and loved ones. Inside the Garden's control center, Jet combined the key and ring, expecting to claim the ultimate prize, only for a robot to seize the key and identify it as its ignition matrix. Sonic soon burst in again and demanded answers, and Jet then learned that Babylon Garden was not simply an ancient treasure site but a spacecraft built by aliens from whom he and the Rogues were descended. The revelation became more dire when they discovered that the vessel's attempt to return home would generate a black hole capable of destroying [[Mobius (Archie)|Mobius]]. Jet tried to stop the robot by invoking his Babylonian ancestry, but he lacked the clearance to do so.[ref][[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 36]][/ref]</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The situation deteriorated further when Speedy entered and, amid the confusion, Sonic seized the key and destroyed it, sending Babylon Garden into free fall. Although Jet hesitated because he wanted to learn more about his ancestry, he ultimately escaped with the others. After the Garden crashed in the mountains, Jet briefly reflected on the wreckage and the fate of the Battle Lord before setting off again with the Rogues. In the aftermath, he resolved to prove himself the fastest thing in the universe.[ref][[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 36]][/ref]</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Personality</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In the Archie comics, Jet is portrayed as brash, cocky, and eager to make a legend of himself. He is highly ambitious, greedy, and driven by the desire for glory, and while he enjoys a challenge, he also hates to lose. This version of the character is willing to cheat if it helps secure victory, highlighting a harsher and more opportunistic edge to his pride.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Abilities</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As in other continuities, Jet is an exceptionally skilled [[Extreme Gear (Archie)|Extreme Gear]] rider and is also extremely fast even off his board. He possesses some combat ability, but he is at his most dangerous while riding, where his speed, control, and aerial maneuverability give him a clear edge over most opponents.</p>

<p>Across the series, Jet is shown dismissing or underestimating several competitors before Wave forces him to acknowledge their strengths.

<p>A similar pattern appears in the episode centered on [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]], [[Knuckles the Echidna]], and [[Rouge the Bat]]. Jet brushes off Tails and insists that Knuckles is no match for [[Storm the Albatross]], while Wave counters by pointing out Tails' racing skill and the danger posed by the track's resources and hazards. Jet takes the discussion of Rouge more personally after Wave notes that Rouge has beaten the Rogues to several valuable treasures, including the Ocean's Tear from [[Adabat]], the [[Soleanna|Royal Soleanna Diamond]], and the Guiding Star of Babylon. This leaves him especially determined to settle the matter with her on the track.</p>

<p>When covering [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]], [[Zazz]], and [[Zavok]], Jet shows a mix of irritation and excitement. He openly admits that he does not like Eggman, even while acknowledging that Eggman is a competent pilot and dangerous opponent once properly equipped. He reacts to Zazz as an unpredictable menace and to Zavok as a far more serious rival, though rather than being intimidated, he treats both as the kind of challenge he wants to overcome.</p>

<p>In the final episode, Jet and Wave assess [[Blaze the Cat]] and [[Silver the Hedgehog]]. Jet is puzzled by Blaze's status as royalty and quickly shifts to the possibility of stealing the [[Sol Emerald]]s she protects, something Wave is perfectly willing to entertain as part of the Rogues' nature. He is also suspicious of Silver, assuming that a racer from the future or one with psychokinesis must have some unfair advantage, though Wave notes that Silver appears to be racing fairly. Even here, Jet's focus remains on proving that the Babylon Rogues can outclass anyone once they are on the track.</p>

<p>Overall, Jet's portrayal in <em>CrossTalk</em> emphasizes his familiar mix of swagger, competitiveness, greed, and genuine racing confidence. The series also highlights his dynamic with Wave, with Jet providing the bravado and rivalry while Wave supplies the sharper strategic insight that keeps his overconfidence in check.</p>
