If you're familiar with the Toonami days of anime and Cyborg 009, you might be used to Jet looking like this. OOC, his RE:Design is just that, a design that was applied to him for the RE: and Call of Justice timeline for no explained reason. ICly I've gone with the fact Jet still crashed from the atmosphere with Joe and, being a less sturdy design, didn't make it out of the incident unscathed. With Gilmore's help (and penchant for taking liberties with the cyborg's appearances/lack of resources) Jet's whole appearance changed over night on the operating table.

Wiki for other details

1945, Jet is born to Italian immigrant parents in the Bronx, New York City

Jet leaves home at a young age and joins a gang, eventually becoming the leader

1963, Jet’s gang fights a rival gang, resulting in Jet killing the other leader. The cops appear, Jet gets cornered and accepts help from mysterious strangers: agents of an organization called “Black Ghost”

Black Ghost kidnaps Jet for cyborg experimentation, replace his bones and skin and organs with synthetic structures suited for combat and flight, Jet becomes the first cyborg experiment to survive and is labeled ‘001’

A year later, a baby born with psychic powers is donated to Black Ghost, his abilities are deemed more useful and he is labeled ‘001,’ re-designating Jet ‘002’’

The next couple years 002 is trained rigorously and inhumanely (along with 003 and 004) to test their limits as weapons and soldiers as technology is furthered to develop experiments 005-009

One of the scientists, Doctor Gilmore, begins setting in motion a plan to free the cyborgs and escape Black Ghost with them. During a training exercise, the cyborgs and the doctor turned on the organization and fought their way out of Black Ghost’s base

The cyborgs settled with a friend of Gilmore’s in Japan to hide out, but Black Ghost continued to send other cyborg projects to assassinate them The cyborgs were eventually recaptured and in their resulting bid to escape, seemingly killed Black Ghost himself

The group spent the next year or so in relative peace, cleaning up cells of Black Ghost and other corrupted scientists Gilmore knew, as well as a few other missions that came along

The cyborgs caught wind over the course of their adventures that Black Ghost might not be dead after all and began investigating. Black Ghost lured them into a trap that resulted in discovering his rocket base, it took off, 009 was teleported into the rocket to fight Black Ghost

Jet flew into the atmosphere to rescue 009, ran out of fuel by the time he got to him, so they fell through the atmosphere, Jet protected 009 with his own body

Gilmore and the other cyborgs found 009 and what was left of Jet, resulting in Gilmore salvaging and rebuilding him

Due to their increasingly high-profile missions, the cyborgs were found out by the U.N. and ordered to break up, fearing Gilmore would have too much power with the cyborgs

009 was chosen to stay with Gilmore over Jet, resulting in him having a fight with 009 and estranging himself from most of the others

Jet joined the Air Force Captain and pilot

The NSA recruited him to join them as a secret agent to do missions humans couldn’t

27 years after the cyborg team went their separate ways, skyscrapers are being bombed and Jet is trying to learn who is behind it

Conversation with 007 clues him in on a common thread mentioned by all the bombers called ‘His Voice’

Jet follows ‘His Voice’ lead to Samuel Klien, a major CEO who Jet discovers is behind some of the bombings, the rest arer being carried out by followers of ‘His Voice,’ Jet discovers Klien is also a follower of His Voice

Jet tries to tell his superior about Klien’s connection to the bombing, but his superior reveals he’d been grooming Jet to be a scapegoat for political fallout from the start and intends to blame the bombings on Jet

Jet tries to attack his superior, but is taken over by the entity His Voice and attacks part of the Pentagon

After escaping the destruction, Jet learns there’s a submarine full of nukes that has been lost to His Voice, he warns Gilmore and the others

Jet listens in on the mission to launch other missiles and blow the nukes up in atmosphere, He overhears one nuke was missed and that 009 intends to be teleported up to deactivate it

Jet flies up into the atmosphere, but the thin air, is too much for his systems and he breaks apart after helping 009, resulting in his destruction in the atmosphere

009 realizes His Voice is God and prays for God to make things right instead of punishing humans, resulting in 009 and Jet’s resurrection in Venice

Abilities

A full breakdown here! Nerfs Jet is dealing with:

Super speed/acceleration to the speed of light for a short time - This already has a built in nerf that he’s working with the prototype so it doesn’t work more than a handful of seconds before burning out his system, but for purposes here, the switch will still be in his molar, it just won’t do anything

Flight up to Mach 5 speed - Nerfed entirely, no access to his flight. His jets will still be in place as they make up his legs and feet, but it’ll be like he simply can’t access their fuel or ignition. Even if he somehow got his flight back later on, it’d be nerfed down to no more than a set square mile distance before running out of fuel to keep leaving impossible.

Increased strength - No more than what a human is capable of, maybe not even full ‘peak human’ but a few steps below

Marksman - A normal human accuracy, this is largely from Jet’s own ability, he’ll just have really good aim

For physical changes, Jet is still physically a cyborg. His body will feel heavier to him since he doesn’t have the usual strength to weather the weight of the metal in his body, but if he gets injured, he will need to be ‘fixed’ rather than healed (unless it happens to be an injury to one of his few flesh and bone parts left, mostly internal.)

For his eyes and HUD, I’ve been playing in the TDM with the idea that it still reads out info about his basic surroundings (temperature, time of day, the state of his body for maximum horror in case he starts to starve)

In general, while most of Jet's body can remain non-organic, his cybernetic bits will not be significantly more durable than a normal human's equivalent body parts. It might hurt a bit more if he slaps someone with a metal hand, though. His modified organs will also operate at a human level - he'll still have to breathe, sleep, drink, and consume nutrients at the same rates as an equivalently-massed human (the stomach mods still help sustain his cybernetic parts

Personality

Pros:

Determined- Jet, once set to a goal, will see it through no matter what tries to stop him. Even if that means killing someone who isn’t necessarily evil, if he perceives his goal as important enough, he won’t let anything stop him, like shooting pilots out of the sky (and definitely killing them) who are just doing their jobs because they’re getting in his way as he tries to stop a bomber. Later, after he’s been shot up by a jumpy guard, he still pulls himself to his feet and makes himself fly out into the atmosphere to try and help 009.

Easy-going- Most of the time, Jet’s a laid-back guy. He’s essentially immortal, already far older than he looks, and has seen a lot of the shit-side of life and humanity and it’s made him adapt to how he reacts to injustices and frustrations around him. Even when he was younger, he was usually a ‘live and let live unless you’re being a dickhole’ kind of person, really only lashing out verbally when his annoyance with his team has built up without a chance to cool. Time has only mellowed him more overall, so even when he’s angry about something, he’ll still keep his cool up to a point and try to let it roll off his back until he simply can’t anymore.

Loyal-Nothing matters more to Jet than loyalty. Thanks to cases of abandonment from various sources he was supposed to be able to rely on in his life, having people who will stick with him no matter what means more to him than life. In exchange, if he thinks he has someone like that, he’ll do absolutely anything for them and stand by their side through anything. Jet’s loyalty to those he cares about is bone-deep. Even after nearly 30 years of estrangement with his family in the other cyborgs, he still lashes out at his boss the moment he betrays and threatens them and Jet comes to help as soon as he can.

Clever- Jet is shown to be incredibly intelligent. He’s clever enough to figure out puzzles and secrets, intuitive enough to figure out when his friends are hiding something that’s bothering them, and intelligent enough that, when he knows he’s about to be left floating in space, he calculates and plans for his trajectory so his unconscious body can float to safety in what little gravity is left. While this latter instance happens past his current canonpoint, it’s implied by the other characters this isn’t an ability Jet has from being a cyborg, it’s simply something Jet did from his own, personal, capability.

Cons:

Stubborn- Just as much as Jet is determined, that determination can very easily slip into stubbornness. When Jet thinks he’s right, it takes a lot to make him change his mind. And when people tell him ‘stop, what you’re trying to do won’t work’ he’ll often keep at it anyway to his own detriment until he either succeeds or is physically forced to stop, as is often the case in a lot of the cyborg’s early missions…often kick-started by Jet flying into the fray face-first, despite his team’s efforts.

Fiery temper- The opposite to Jet’s easy-going nature, he also has a flashfire of a temper when it rears it’s head. These days, his anger can be a slow simmer, but after it’s simmered long enough or the heat’s turned on sharply, it’ll simply reach a boiling point and then he’ll lash out into a snappish and potentially wall-punching outburst of anger, though it often burns out quickly. It’s something he’s dealt with since he was human, but it’s just as evident in his fight with 009 over who would be staying with the foundation 20 years later and then again almost thirty years past that, when they meet trying to stop a bomber.

Impulsive- Jet is definitely a leap first, look later, if ever, type of person. He jumps into the fray of things without hesitation and makes decisions based on whatever information he has. Multiple times through canon he’s sent out to scout ahead thanks to his ability of flight, and often starts the fight early because he sees some target or negative act that he feels the need to step in and stop since he’s there. As he’s gotten older, he’s gotten better at gathering information first before acting, but those efforts can burn out quickly if he’s suddenly presented with information he needs to pivot his goals around. Something that comes up often in his investigation into His Voice since he comes into that dilemma entirely blind and not trusted by either the NSA or the Gilmore Foundation.

Initially distrustful- Because of the times he’s been burned by the people around him (his parents as he himself states early in canon, his gang, the people who kidnapped him and turned him into a cyborg, the American government he worked for for twenty years, etc) he’s not a very instantly trusting person. He can acknowledge when someone’s a good person and respect them for that, but it takes time and shared experience for Jet to actually trust someone to have his back. He never once works with someone else over the course of 009 RE: Cyborg and all through canon prior, he’s one of the last to really warm up to working with others outside the cyborg’s immediate group. Even the group itself it takes Jet a while to warm up to and not without some interpersonal clashes (like more than one fight with either 009 or 004.)
