Jetray (alternatively spelled as Jet Ray) is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of an Aerophibian from the planet Aeropela.

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 original Omnitrix/Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.

In Video Games, Jetray wore a blue motion capture suit.

In Heroes United, the black stripes on Jetray's body are straight rather than lightning-bolted.

1/11

Jetray is Ben's fastest flier as he can fly at supersonic speeds. Jetray maneuvers through the air with little to no flapping and accelerates to speeds greater than light with ease.

Jetray is capable of surviving and maneuvering through space, a task which no amount of flapping would allow. Jetray's flight speed even allows him to go into hyperspace, which means he can travel across interstellar distances in moments.

It would appear that Jetray 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 paralyze a Pyronite and an Amperi, and can even cause great discomfort to a Vaxasaurian.

Jetray is durable enough to withstand gunfire from a fighter jet. He is also heat resistant, as he could withstand a Prypiatosian-B's radioactive blasts, as well as fly safely through the Earth's atmosphere and into space.

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 is highly adaptable underwater.

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

Jetray is immune to an Amperi's electrokinesis, as also demostrated by Swift.

Weaknesses

• Vulnerability to Neuroshock Blasts
• Trapped in Webbing
• Inability to Fly in Ledgerdomain

1/3

Jetray's neuroshock blasts can hurt himself, as seen when they struck him after being deflected by the Stalker. His neuroshock blasts can also be absorbed by Prypiatosian-Bs.

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

Jetray's neuroshock blasts are useless against certain non-living targets, such as 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 Ledgerdomain due to its sky being unparallel to Earth's.

Jetray is vulnerable to a Galilean's gravakinesis, as well as the telekinetic abilities of a Celestialsapien, as demonstrated with Swift.

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 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 who does not appear in Omniverse.
  • However, he was mentioned in Tummy Trouble, Weapon XI: Part 1, and The Color of Monkey.
  • 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. Wyatt, however, denies these rumors.
  • Elaborating on the subject of Jetray's absence, he stated that they never intended or even wanted to replace any aliens, and that the real reason for Jetray's absence was because Wyatt could not figure out how he wanted Jetray to look or how to put clothes on him.
• Ben 23 does not have his own version of Jetray in his Omnitrix.
• Jetray is the final alien used in Alien Force.
