Jet the Hawk (ジェット・ザ・ホーク, Jetto za Hōku) is an anthropomorphic hawk from the Sonic Pokémon series. Jet is the leader of the Babylon Rogues and is often nicknamed the "Legendary Wind Master Rider" (伝説の風使いライダー, Densetsu no Kaze Tsukai Raidā) due to his mastery of Extreme Gear. He's Sonic's most potent rival in the Sonic Riders series. He uses a Type-J board that allows him to reach high speeds. Although he can be a tad bit annoying when he is bragging about how fast he is, whenever he confronts Sonic, Jet also possesses a mysterious "control box", passed down from his ancestors, that is said to awaken the fabled Babylon Garden. Only the power of the Chaos Emeralds can activate its fabled power.

Jet is the 14 year-old hawk with azure blue eyes and the father colors of Emerald green and dark emerald green, he also appears to have a white chest hair color. Few people notice that Jet has the opposite color scheme to Sonic. Sonic is blue with green eyes, but Jet is green with blue eyes. Apparently, Jet is the same height as Sonic and Shadow; 100 cm. (3 ft. 3 in.). He also weighs 33 kg. (72 lb.)--two kilograms fewer than Sonic or Shadow. Where he was even born at remains unknown. Jet wears are, a pair of thick, yellow-lensed, white goggles with gray segmented strapping, white gloves with red and black accented, sock-like cuffs fastened with dark gray metal hoops, and red boots, decorated with black branch designs, with white accents, durable gray soles and white collars notched in the center.

Personality
Jet's personality is greedy, conceited and selfish. He is usually very lazy and rude, by ordering Wave and Storm around and has also shown to have a really short temper, by stomping around and aggressively kicking whatever he sees, whenever he gets angry. Despite him being greedy, he can at times act nice to others and treat them fairly, even if they are his rivals. When he and Sonic first met, Jet teased him about his skills and having no chance in competing with him in the air, but, it was then shown that sometimes he can also be more mature and level-headed, without the needs of kicking things much, when he gets angered and instead of raising his voice, he simply ignores Storm and Wave's frequent arguments. However, when listening to Wave's boring (and sometimes complicated) talks, he tells her to shorten her information down and put them in simple terms. Despite that, he is indeed a great leader of the Babylon Rogues. Before one of his races with Sonic, towards the end, he asks Wave, if she had messed with Sonic's Gear in any way, meaning, he is to be more keen on having a fair race and was against cheating.

Extreme Gear
Like the other Babylon Rogues, Jet's Extreme Gear board gets it's name from the first letter of Jet's name. His board is called Type-J. (As another example, Wave the Swallow has a W as the first letter of her name, therefore her board is named Type-W.)

History
Past
It is revealed in the Riders Saga series that Jet's ancestors are technological, intelligent, and professional Extreme Gear riders from the Babylon Garden. In the ending of Riders Saga, it is revealed that the ancestors of Jet were actually Genies who had invented a "secret treasure", which was a magic carpet (the first Extreme Gear).
However, it is revealed later one that Jet's ancestors were Genies from outer space. Jet's ancestors use to utilize an ultimate power from the Ark of the Cosmos, but all five of the Ark of the Cosmos had crashed into the planet forming "shooting stars". However, not much is known about the ancestry.
