Jetray (BotO)

## Appearance

Jetray is a red, humanoid manta ray-like alien with green eyes, black outlines on his face, yellow horns extending from his nose, gills underneath his arms, yellow patagia which he uses to fly and glide through water, and two black lightning bolt-like stripes coming down from his shoulders to the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.

## Powers and Abilities

Jetray is Ben's fastest flier as he can fly at supersonic speeds. He can maneuver through the air with little to no flapping and accelerates to great speeds with ease. A side effect of this high speed flight creates a sonic boom.

Jetray is capable of surviving and maneuvering through space, a task which no amount of flapping would allow. It would appear that he has an additional key to flight beyond his wings. In proportion to his size, he has a very short wingspan, although his weight is unknown.

Jetray can fire green neuroshock blasts from his eyes and tail. These blasts are strong enough to knock down a Pyronite and an Amperi, and even cause great discomfort to a Vaxasaurian and destroy a Sonorosian with just one shot.

Jetray is durable enough to withstand multiple blows from Vilgax and gunfire from a fighter jet. He is also heat resistant and immune to radiation, as he could withstand a Prypiatosian-B's radioactive blasts and heat generated by a Pyronite.

Jetray can safely fly through the Earth's atmosphere and into space, and travel on an interstellar level. When he is done flying, he can land on his two feet perfectly.

Jetray has enhanced strength, which he demonstrated in his battles with Alan and Ultimate Kevin.

Jetray's strength extends to his feet, which are prehensile, as he is able to carry a Vaxasaurian in the air with his feet without being tired or weighed down.

In addition to his feet, his tail is also prehensile, as shown when Jetray carried Gwen while flying up in the air.

Jetray can enter hyperspace.

Jetray is highly adaptable underwater.

Jetray's neuroshock blasts are capable of starting fires, as demonstrated by Swift.

Jetray is immune to electricity, such as that generated by an Amperi.

## Weaknesses

Jetray's neuroshock blasts can hurt himself, as seen when they struck him after being deflected by the Stalker.

Jetray's neuroshock blasts can be absorbed by either Prypiatosian-Bs or the plasma generated by members of Ball Weevil's species, the latter of which has been demonstrated with Swift.

Despite his enhanced durability, Jetray can still feel discomfort when he is being fired at.

Despite his electricity immunity, Jetray can still be thrown into the air by a strong enough electric blast.

Jetray is vulnerable to strong winds.

Jetray's neuroshock blasts are useless against certain non-living targets, such as mechanical-like species like Talpaedans and robots like Computron's minions.

Jetray cannot walk very well due to his proportionally thin hind limbs.

Jetray can be ensnared by an Arachnichimp's webs.

On the ground, Jetray is slower than Kinecelerans.

Jetray cannot fly in Legerdomain due to its sky being unparallel to Earth's.

Jetray is vulnerable to magic, as shown when he was incapacitated by one of Gwen's spells.

Jetray is vulnerable to a Galilean's gravakinesis, as demonstrated with Swift.

## Trivia

* Jetray had concept art drawn by Eric Canete, whereas his final design was created by Glenn Wong, with color styling by Chris Hooten.
* Jetray's voice was somewhat high-pitched until *Paradox*, where it became deeper.
* Dwayne McDuffie wrote an underwater battle scene for Jetray, but it was eventually scrapped.
* In *Fame*, Jimmy thought Jetray's name was "Jeffrey" 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*.
* Even though Jetray is more adaptive in water, Ben mostly uses him for aerial fights or traveling through space.
* Jetray's flight and neuroshock blasts are reminiscent of the dragon-like Zok, of *The Herculoids*.
* 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*.
	+ Had Jetray physically appeared in *Omniverse*, Dee Bradley Baker would have reprised his role.
* It was initially rumored that, because Derrick J. Wyatt disliked Jetray's design and thought he was "overused" during previous series, he decided to create Astrodactyl as Jetray's "replacement" in *Omniverse*. Derrick, however, denies these rumors, saying that the crew never intended or even wanted to replace any aliens.
	+ Elaborating on the subject of Jetray's absence, 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.
