History[]
Bonds of Friendship[]
Jet and the other Babylon Rogues eventually broke into the Mineral Museum in Spiral Hill Village in the middle of the day. Upon their arrival, Jet wasted no time and instructed Wave and Storm to grab as many of the museum's exhibitions as possible. After having grabbed a sizeable portion of the museum's treasures himself, Jet retreated back to the blimp with his team, running over Whisper the Wolf in the process. Inside their headquarters, Jet ignored Wave's enthusiasm about their haul, as he only cared about his Extreme Gear being kept in shape. When Storm then tried to show them a huge gem he had gotten, Jet and Wave discovered that what Storm had actually grabbed was the curator of the museum, Jewel the Beetle. Soon after, Tangle and Whisper arrived, demanding Jewel be handed back. Jet denied, however, and told the girls that they could only get Jewel back if they beat him in a race. This made Wave scold Jet for his behavior, as they were thieves, not kidnappers. Jet argued, however, that they could not just give up Jewel after Storm made them look incompetent. Soon though, Jet grew tired of arguing and asked for Storm to throw everyone out. When Storm complied by throwing Jewel out of the blimp however, Jet scolded Storm for making them look violent. Soon though, Tangle stopped Jet and his gang from interfering any more, as she and Whisper had it under control. After Jet and his gang then received a threat from Tangle about not coming to her village again, Tangle leapt out of the blimp with the stolen goods, angering Jet. Wave, however, told him to let them go as today was a hassle.[1]
All or Nothing[]
The Babylon Rogues were later contacted by Amy Rose to meet her and a group of survivors from the Metal Virus on Angel Island. There, they were told that they were needed to help steal the Chaos Emeralds from a group called the Deadly Six. Jet showed little care to help Sonic and his allies unless the reward was big enough. Even when Wave pointed out that they still needed the world's resources, Jet felt as if they could figure it out on their own without having to become "goodie-goodies"; Storm backed Jet up on his stance but noted that he liked to eat. Sonic managed to appeal to Jet once he stated that he needed his help, and the world needed the "Legendary Wind Master." Flattered, Jet was prepared to help the world.[2]
Jet and his crew witnessed Eggman and Tails build a Multi-Portal Generator with the Warp Topaz that would take everyone where they need to go an instant. Sonic returned from his run and had come up with a plan for who should be assigned with who and what Zeti they should go after. He told the Babylon Rogues that they were to take on Master Zik, and though he was old, he was craftier than all of the Deadly Six combined. Jet scoffed at this, saying that he and his team could take him on easily. Once Tails and Eggman set the coordinates for everyone to move out, Jet and his team went through the Warp Portal to Winterburg. The Babylon Rogues immediately tried to get the jump on Master Zik, but the Zeti used his powers to take over their Extreme Gear and knock them off. After jumping onto Jet's board, the hawk is immediately angered. When noting that they were surrounded by Zombots, Jet taunted Master Zik by asking if he could not fight on his own. Master Zik told them that he retired from the battlefield long ago but would not mind teaching the Rogues a few lessons. Jet and his crew jumped at Master Zik; while Wave and Storm were hit by their own boards, Jet knocked the Zeti off his Extreme Gear with his Bashōsen and took it back, gloating in the process. However, Jet is alerted to Wave and Storm, who were surrounded by Zombots.[3]
Jet furiously demanded that Master Zik let them go, only for the Zeti to taunt him for only now understanding the consequences of threatening his elders. Wave and Storm fended off the Zombots below with their respective equipment; Wave told Jet to leave before it was too late but also berated him as she told him earlier that a full-frontal assault was a bad idea; Storm asked what they were going to do as he could not do what he usually did, which was to punch others. Master Zik took glee in watching Jet try to act on his own, saying one should not sacrifice their teammates unless it benefited them and that all he had to do was say one command for Jet to lose everything. He then asked if he could beg for mercy to entertain him. Refusing to give up, Jet stated that the Babylon Rogues did not beg, give up or lose and hit Master Zik with a large gale of wind from his Bashōsen. Storm and Wave then managed to support Jet by hitting the Zeti further away, but not without grabbing the Chaos Emerald away from him first. Defeated and defenseless, Master Zik was soon grabbed by Zombots while he told Jet that he was not tactical or skillful, but lucky. Wave gave the Chaos Emerald to Jet telling him to leave without her and Storm as her board was lost to the Zombots and Storm's was nearly smashed to pieces. Jet pondered about this while looking at the Chaos Emerald and made a decision; he tied the Emerald to his board and sent it through the Warp Portal. As he readied himself to fight with his teammates, Jet told them that like he told the Zeti, the Babylon Rogues do not lose. According to him, Sonic will get the Emerald and do his hero thing, but they will show the Zombots a real challenge in the meantime.[4]
Out of the Blue[]
After Super Sonic and Super Silver had reversed the effects of the Metal Virus all around the world, the Zombots were no more and were cured. Storm gleefully hugged his teammates, happy that they were not infected. The group noted Master Zik has disappeared before Wave commended Jet on sticking with her and Storm to fight instead of go directly to Angel Island himself. Jet was initially taken aback by the kind words, only to swiftly descend into boasting, which Wave was exasperated by but Storm encouraged.[5] Some time later, the Babylon Rogues were invited by Tangle to a party in Spiral Hill Village. Jet complained that there was no sculpture of him, even though he risked his life to save everyone. Suddenly, the group was alerted to a large crash in the town, revealed to be Eggman in a large mech, who had come to destroy them all.[6] Not planning to help Sonic's friends a second time, Jet told his team that they would steal the exhibits from the Mineral Museum while the others were busy fighting Eggman. When Jet and co. entered the museum, however, it turned out that Rouge had already acquired the precious exhibits in advance.[7]
Another Grand Adventure for Jet the Hawk[]
Jet was in his room aboard the blimp making a calzone in the microwave. He read a birthday card from his dad on his desk. The microwave rang and Jet turned to get it, but a Cyan Wisp was holding his calzone. The Wisp flew off and Jet yelled at it. Jet chased the Wisp on his Type-J and found a wolf eating it in the forest. Jet said the "squid" stole from him and she will make it up to him. Whisper stood up and and confusingly asked if she will. Jet said again she will and says they wasted his time chasing his lunch instead of hunting for jems. He said she owes him jems and a calzone, but the Cyan Wisp gave him a banana instead, which Jet doesn't want.
Whisper told Jet to be quiet while the Badnik is around, but Jet slammed the banana on the ground and yelled he couldn't hear her. The Super Badnik then grabbed Jet and he yelled to let him down. Jet then told Whisper to use his Type-J to get him. Whisper tried to get on, but it flew up and she held onto it for dear life. Jet yelled at her to just stand on it and it would balance itself. He went on to ramble about how he didn't think the Extreme Gear was hard to use and kept boasting about himself. Jet said some knowledge his dad told him, but Whisper yelled back at him to be quiet and shot the leg of the Super Badnik with her Variable Wispon, causing it to fall into a trap with Jet still in its hand. Jet was impressed by Whisper's skills and said she would make a great Babylon Rogue. Whisper walked away, leaving the Type-J behind, and said she was busy. Jet couldn't hear her and asked her to speak up. The Cyan Wisp then returned the now-bitten calzone to Jet, but Jet said it still owed him a fresh one.[8]
Endless Summer[]
Jet went with the Babylon Rogues one day to Green Hill for a day at the beach. When they arrived, they argued about where to place their equipment. He soon overheard Sonic and Jewel watching them from a hill. He and the Rogues came face-to-face with them on the hill, with Tangle and Whisper standing with Sonic and Jewel. Jet said there is not enough room on the beach for all of them, which Tangle denied. Wave told Sonic's group to stay on their side while the Babylon Rogues stay on theirs, but Jet objected, saying Sonic would ruin their "vibe". Tangle, Jewel, and Whisper recalled their past encounters with the Rogues, and Tangle bluntly told them to get off the beach. Wave proposed that they settle the matter with some beach games, with the winning team being the one that gets to stay.
The first round was Disc Catch, which was won by Team Sonic. The second round, Swim Relay, was won by the Babylon Rogues. Team Sonic won the Sand Sculpting round, while the Rogues won at Surfing. The final round was a game of volleyball. Towards the end of the game, Sonic gave a pep talk to his team and they set a plan in motion to win. The plan involved isolating Jet and exploiting his ego by keeping Wave and Storm away from the net, thus making Jet feel left out, and then creating a false opening for him, allowing Team Sonic to score. With the last point being scored by Jewel, the game was won by Team Sonic. While they cheered and celebrated, Jewel notices the Babylon Rogues leaving and began to feel bad. She decided to let them stay and the three teams enjoyed the rest of the day at the beach eating marshmallows over a campfire.[9]
Sonic's 900th Adventure[]
The Babylon Rogues intercepted a transmission from Tails that mentioned Sonic getting rid of the Warp Topaz. They figured out where Sonic was headed and went into an abandoned mine. Jet was on his board with the other Rogues as Sonic came in. He demanded Sonic to hand the Topaz to them, but Sonic refused and ran away. He and the Rogues gave chase, and they failed to grab him. They followed Sonic to a dead end and saw Rouge and Shadow were there, which didn't phase Jet, since he thought Rouge was there for the gold. Sonic then got away by drilling out of the mine and blocking his path with a portal. Jet figured the Topaz was more trouble than it was worth and said they should kick the "wanna-be ultimate life form" through the portal and take the gold. This insulted Shadow and as he prepared his Chaos Powers, Jet cowered in fear and told the others to get him. The Rogues were then blasted through the portal and landed in a snowy mountain.[10]
Relic Robbing Rumble[]
Knuckles finds the Rogues stealing some statues in Marble Garden. He flies in to take them out and Jet orders Storm to fight him. After the short battle between storm and the echidna, Knuckles gets back up and follows them, but the Rogues on their Extreme Gear manage to get away. Later that evening, the Babylon Rogues wait for the "guy" at a pier. Jet is getting impatient about him showing up, Storm was seen playing with the relic until Jet tells him to knock off. Wave asks if it is because of respecting cultural sensitivity, but Jet tells her it's because he doesn't want Storm to damage them, much to her disappointment. Jet says he would have shown more respect if they came from the Babylonians. Then Knuckles and the Chaotix attack the Rogues at the dock. Caught flat footed, Jet tells his cohorts to scatter. Jet and Wave fly up with their Extreme Gear and Jet tells Storm to toss them the relics. Charmy manages to grab a relic before Jet can catch it. Jet says he won't him steal his stuff, which makes Charmy think he is doing a bad thing. Charmy hands him the relic, much to Jet's confusion, and Espio yells at the bee and jumps on the underside of the Type-J. Espio tries to get Jet down by spinning the board, which causes them to crash in the water. Wave then boards above the water to find Jet, Charmy asks nicely for the relic and Jet lets him have it; too tired and wet to keep fighting. They all make it back to the dock where Vector asks Jet who hired them to steal the relics. Jet rings out his feathers and stubbornly says maybe they weren't hired. Vector threatens to take the Type-J as evidence, which causes Jet to fess up. He takes his board back and says the guy did not use a name and he called them first. Storm then challenges Knuckles till jet and wave pull him back. Later on, the Babylon Rogues' ship, Jet is calling their contact. Storm is confused and Jet says he lied to the Chaotix. Storm calls him smart and Jet waves for him to leave. He tells the contact the Chaotix got them and stole the relics, but they will steal from Angel Island again to get them. The contact says that won't be necessary and all this was to keep others distracted while he did business. Jet yells at him, saying he used him.[11][12]
Phantom Riders[]
Jet was among those who joined the Clean Sweepstakes race. As he's Babylon Rogue, he was in the Babylon Rogues team.
As the race begun, Babylon Rogues catch up to Sonic's team and Jet begins to mock the hedgehog, taunting him with their busy recent work and cockily questions the speedster if he thinks he can truly beat the Babylon Rogues. Jet goads Sonic into making his own taunt, but the hedgehog ignores him and sets his acceleration to the max. As Jet fumes over his rival getting away, Sonic praises Tails over the acceleration of their upgraded Extreme Gear. Both Team Sonic and the Babylon Rogues continue to race through the streets until Jet tries to take a swipe at Sonic's gear. The two groups are interrupted by Lanolin fires a version of the variable wispon, noting that attacking another competitor is a violation to the rules, but he apparently got tired of arguing with Lanolin, and he and his team begun moving faster, leaving everyone else behind.[13] In the second race Jet and the Babylon Rogues had a lead until the Phantom Rider which started mocking Jet and eventually surpassing him but soon the Phantom Rider would leave and him would get first place. At the finish line, Surge and Kit would come and Wave noticed how the audience were not cheering for them but instead for them this would infuriate him making them another enemy of the Hawk.[14]
In the next race in Misty Spire Jet gets irritated by Surge showboating but he's reminded by Wave to calm down and focus on the bigger picture. Nite soon announces to stop the Phantom Rider which Jet, and the Babylon Rouges go after but are soon cut off by Surge who argues with Jet over who will be the one to take down the Phantom Rider. Soon Jet bumps into Whisper which causes a brawl soon revealing that Sonic is the Phantom Rider, but they are cut off by a large rock separating him and the others. Later on, the Babylon Rogues discuss the new development over dinner, with Jet calling it an insult to racing and to himself. Storm suggests that Sonic might have been paid off, but Jet finds the idea ridiculous. Wave reminds the two that Sonic is always doing heroic things and stopping bad guys, bringing them to the realization that if Sonic is trying to stop the Clean Sweepstakes, then Clean Sweep Inc. must be at fault somehow. From this, Wave infers that the event is a scam being fronted as a charity event to profit off of the Restoration's good name. Furious that Sonic figured it out before he did, Jet announces to his team that they have a new mission. Jet and the Babylon Rogues also vow to find out who is behind the scam and get even with them.[15]
Storm arrives and catches it and tells the other two Babylon Rogues to take care of the rest. Jet claims that his plan will get them back on top, to which Wave argues that it was her plan, and he knows it. Jet remarks that he gets the credit due to being the leader, and they begin making a path for the vehicles to follow through. In the middle of this, though, he spots Sonic amidst the crowd and begins chasing him down, determined to stop whatever Sonic is up to. Sonic throws his hood at Jet, distracting the hawk long enough for Sonic to lose him. Later on, he would look near The Bad Investment and thought he saw the Phantom Ride but left as he was nowhere to be seen.[16]
the Babylon Rouges talk about how to approach the Phantom Rider and Wave reminds him to not be aggressive and Jet annoyingly agrees with Storm saying they brought no tracks. Soon after the race begins with Nite announcing it is set right in the streets of Central City. Suddenly the Phantom Rider appears, and Jet immediately goes after him while Wave crashes trying to remind him to be gentle when suddenly the Babylon Rogues surround him when Nite announces a halt in the race, saying that everyone is going after the Phantom Rider with him dogging attacks from Lanolin, Surge and Kit who Surge manages to grab on to his Eggstreme Gear while Whisper uses her Variable Wispon to fire, Jet than orders the rouges to attack but are stopped by Kit's tails.[17] The Babylon Rogues watch the Diamond Cutters and Sonic from below when Storm ask if the race is over and Wave response saying they should just go home but Jet declines saying that they want a race, and Sonic owes them answer and they too head off.[18]
The Babylon Rogues overlook the burning shuttle as it descends toward Central City, with Storm and Wave commenting on the direness of the situation. After a moment of thought, Jet orders his team to follow him, having come up with a better idea than following Sonic to the shuttle. Jet boasts to Sonic about his team's efforts as they continue to pull the shuttle away from the city. As Jet informs him that they have turned the ship, Sonic informs the Babylon Rogues of the change in plans, and Jet begrudgingly cooperates after being reminded by Wave that they do not have time to argue. Sonic challenges the hawk to a friendly competition: whoever can evacuate the most people from Restoration HQ first wins. Jet accepts, and he, Sonic, Tails, Amy, Belle, and the Chaotix set off for the HQ while Nite, Don, Jewel, Rough, and Tumble remain behind. Sonic's group arrives at Restoration HQ, warning the people there about the imminent disaster. While Sonic and Jet begin competing, Sonic and Jet continue evacuating people, constantly trading the lead until they manage to save a total of ninety-two lives, forty-six each. The timer for the self-destruct sequence finally reaches zero as the shuttle crash-lands into the HQ, exploding and completely demolishing it. After dropping off the rescues outside, Sonic decides to go back to take one more look despite Amy's protests. He tries to invite Jet to join him, but the hawk refuses, unwilling to risk his life by going back when the place is already in ruins. Jet approaches Sonic and tells him that he is willing to concede to a tie on one condition: a rematch between the two with no distractions or conditions of any kind. Sonic accepts the challenge, eager to have some fun against his rival.[19]
