==Naming and Translations==
==Etymology==
Jetray's name is a portmanteau of a "jet", a fast aircraft vehicle, referencing his enhanced speed, and "manta ray", the creature his appearance is based on. Additionally, he can fire neuroshock rays, adding to the "ray" part of his name.
==Trivia==
*Jetray's voice was somewhat high-pitched until Paradox, where it became deeper.
*Jetray is the final alien used on-screen in Alien Force.
*Jimmy thought Jetray's name was "Jeffery" until Ben corrected him, similar to how a kid at Ben's school called Four Arms "Quad Hands" until he was corrected by Ben in Goodbye and Good Riddance.
**The nickname originated from the crew joking around.
*Jetray is the only regular alien featured in both Alien Force and Ultimate Alien to not be used in Omniverse. However, he was mentioned in Tummy Trouble, Weapon XI: Part 1, and The Color of Monkey, and photos of him appeared in Jimmy's room in Return to Forever.
**Had Jetray physically appeared in Omniverse, Derrick J. Wyatt would have chosen Dee Bradley Baker to reprise his role.
*Dwayne McDuffie wrote an underwater battle scene for Jetray, but it was eventually scrapped.
*Jetray's working name was Bluestreak.
*Jetray had concept art drawn by Eric Canete, whereas his final design was created by Glenn Wong, with color styling by Chris Hooten.
*Jetray was initially supposed to be used in Voided to save Serf.Voided
*Jetray was initially not in Inside Man.Inside Man
*It was initially rumored that Derrick decided to create Astrodactyl as Jetray's "replacement" in Omniverse. Derrick, however, denied these rumors, saying that the crew never intended or even wanted to replace any aliens.
**The initial reason for Jetray's absence from Omniverse was because the crew were a little tired of him from Alien Force and Ultimate Alien.
**Later on, Derrick stated that the real reason he was excluded from Omniverse was because he could not figure out how he wanted Jetray to look or how to put clothes on him.
**Derrick eventually drew 15 and 16-year-old versions of Jetray in the Omniverse art style as part of a GoFundMe in 2020. He talked with Glen Murakami for inspiration for his design.
*Ben 23 does not have his own version of Jetray in his Omnitrix but if he did, then the transformation's name would be Fish Kite.
