Jet the Hawk

"You see, to be the fastest on a Gear, you have to become one with the wind! Without wings, well, you might as well kiss the ground and go home!"- Jet, Sonic Riders 
Jet the Hawk (ジェット・ザ・ホーク Jetto za Hōku) is a fictional character from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is an anthropomorphic hawk and the leader of the current generation of Babylon Rogues. He is known as the "Legendary Wind Master" due to his mastery of Extreme Gear riding, which has earned him an impressive reputation.
== Why There's No Way He's Gonna Lose ==
# He's one of Sonic's greatest, if not, most iconic and well-known rivals in the Sonic series.
# In the first Sonic Riders, he's shown to be cocky and rebellious just like Sonic, but he's also seen to be calm, cool and collected.
# Like many Sonic characters, he's got an interesting character design.
# He shares some pretty fair chemistry with his comrades Wave and Storm, with the former being the tech-wizard of the Babylon Rogues and the latter for always staying by his side, ever if for his stupidity. In the end of the first Sonic Riders, he also respects Sonic as a great rival and is often willing to race with him again if he wants to.
# He gets plenty of character development in the first Sonic Riders game and it continued on in Zero Gravity.
# Speaking of which, both his and Sonic's rivalry is always entertaining to see.
# In the ending of Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, he imposes a friendly challenge with Sonic as they raced through the tunnel, which is considered one of the best scenes in the game.
# He's well-voiced by Jason Griffith.
# Even when he makes mistakes, he eventually becomes aware of it and learns from said mistakes afterwards.
# His knight counterpart in Sonic and the Black Knight, known as Sir Lamorak, is pretty cool.
# He made an appearance in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games as one of the rivals in the game.
# Similar to E-123 Omega, his quotes aren't particularly memorable, but they can be remarkably blunt, such as "Ah, the dirt suits you so well!" or "Not very impressive for someone of your reputation.".
# Despite his arrogance and prideful nature, he much prefers winning with his own skills and despises cheating. Even in Free Riders (which many consider to be his worst outing), he wants a rematch with Sonic after learning that Wave sabotaged the hedgehog's hoverboard.
# One of his best appearances is in the IDW Comics: he is more of a self-sacrificing team player than ever, even willing to stay surrounded by the Zombots along his comrades instead of leaving them behind to take a Chaos Emerald to Angel Island, as advised by Wave.
== Bad Qualities ==
# Often times, he's excessively prideful and arrogant, even compared to his blue spiky rival.
# Like most characters, his likability was brutally torn apart in Sonic Free Riders, being hypocritical towards Team Dark and blaming Wave for his loss without proof. Not only that, but his voice (provided by Michael Yurchak) is extremely annoying and childish.
