Jetx contains examples of:
- Artificial Limb: In a flashback it is seen that Malicious loses one of his arms at the end of a battle with Jet due to it being severed by a falling chunk of metal. We later see that the severed arm has been replaced with a artificial arm. It might also have contributed to the doctor's hatred towards Jet.
- Anime Hair: If you haven't noticed, Jet's hair is very spiky. And aerodynamic. Wonder what the difference would be if he had an afro?
- Comet of Doom: The main Mc Guffins, the Neo Gems ,kill all the dinosaurs upon colliding with Earth.
- Killer Robot: Basically Malicious' answer to everything.
- Mad Doctor: Malicious is THE definition of a evil scientist/doctor. The only things he most likely cares about is world domination and keeping his mustache refined.
- MacGuffin: The Neo Gems drive Malicious Fingers to do evil stuff and Jet to stop him, therefore driving the story (atleast for now).
- Painful Transformation: during chapter 4, Jet touches a gem that transforms him into a rocky state. Not without some inconvenient transformation changes and a bit of pain to boot.
- Power Crystal: In the very beginning, the birth of the Neo Gems is shown, and they are very powerful special gemstones. They are also very destructive, which is why they peak the interest of the mad Malicious and Jet who tries to prevent said destruction.
- Ridiculously Potent Explosive: Said Neo Gems can incinerate and blow up the solar system if destroyed. Needless to say they should be handled with care.
- Robot Me: Malicious decides he has put up with Jet's meddling too long and makes a killer robot to match and surpass him, the Biomech. It even defeats Jet in chapter 2, almost kills Leon and Katrina, and battles with Rock Jet again as a rematch in chapter 4
- Rock Monster: During chapter 4 Jet becomes a rocky big version of himself. He also loses his super speed.
- Science Fiction: Jet X features a lot of tech like robots, lasers, state of the art killer buildings so there is a certain level of scifi at play here.
- Speeches and Monologues: Malicious decides to hack the news and tell all citizens that they are screwed and should pack up.
- Super-Speed: Jet is pretty fast, creating sonic booms and being faster than a bullet train.
