Uncle Zucchini

Voiced by: Ian James Corlett (English), Lee Min-gyu (Korean), Nicolás Daza (Spanish)
Uncle Zucchini is Jet's uncle, and Celery's brother. He is a recurring character on the show, and works for the East Galaxy Garbage Company, Bortron 7 Division. Has a pet named Moonbeam, who is basically a blue version of Sunspot.
  • Accidental Pun: Zucchini is just one of the many members of the Propulsion family who has a vegetable name. Zucchini was likely going for Zachary.
  • A Day in the Limelight: In "A Visit from Uncle Zucchini", "Uncle Zucchini Babysits", and "Space Junk".
  • Affectionate Nickname: Jet often calls him "Uncle Z".
  • Aliens of London: He has a Brooklyn accent, despite being a space alien.
  • Aliens Speaking English: Is an alien and can speak English fairly well.
  • Amusing Alien: Much like the rest of his family.
  • Big Ol' Eyebrows: He has the biggest eyebrows of any character in the series.
  • Character Catchphrase: "We only have one Bortron 7, so we better take care of it!"
  • Cool Uncle: Is this to Jet, especially since he's a galactic garbageman.
  • The Ditz: Zucchini also qualifies for this trope, as he somehow did not know about the 3 states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. He also confuses Titan for Earth in his debut episode.
  • Demoted to Extra: While he had a handful of appearances in season 1, his appearances in season 2 are much rarer.
  • Foil: To Celery. They are siblings who live on different planets (Earth for Celery, and Bortron 7 for Zucchini). They are both cheerful and benevolent. Celery has a job as an intergalactic travel writer and has knowledge about outer space to spare. Zucchini has a job as a mere garbageman and is shown to be very foolish and ignorant about space and even basic Earth science (in his debut episode, he thought that Saturn's moon Titan was Earth, and in "Uncle Zucchini Babysits", he didn't know about the three states of matter).
  • Friendly Rivalry: He has this with his sister Celery, as shown in "Space Race", where they have a friendly race across the solar system. Zucchini isn't even mad that Celery won.
  • Hidden Depths: "Space Junk" reveals that he's a space garbageman.
  • Humans Through Alien Eyes: Zucchini sees pets taking baths in water as unorthodox, as pets are bathed in chocolate shakes on Bortron 7.
  • Innocent Aliens: Is kind-hearted, along with the rest of his family.
  • Kindhearted Simpleton: In spite of his occasional stupidity, he is still of the nicest aliens in the Bortronian system.
  • Nice Guy: He is unfailingly friendly and loyal to everyone he meets.
  • The Pollyanna: Like the rest of his family, he is perpetually optimistic.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: Celery contrasts with her brother, Zucchini. Celery is a very good driver and is also quite smart, having a job as a travel writer. Zucchini, on the other hand, has a job as a garbageman and is quite dumb from time to time.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: It is revealed in "Back to Bortron 7" that he also loves the classic 3-part Bortronian meal.
  • Youthful Freckles: Has these along with Eggplant, Zerk, Sean, Mitchell, and Dr. Rafferty.

    Zerk 

Zerk

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zerk_propulsion.jpg
Voiced by: Ashleigh Ball (English; Earth Mission to Moon only), Meg Roe (English; Whole Lotta Shakin' onwards), Nam Doh-hyeong (Korean)
Zerk is Jet's cousin. He is an alien from Bortron 7. Unlike other Bortronians, Zerk is competitive and a braggart, always wanting to make his moon structures bigger and higher than everyone else's and boasting about them.
  • A Day in the Limelight: In "Zerk Visits Earth".
  • Aliens Speaking English: Is an alien and can speak English very well.
  • Ambiguously Gay: In "Back to Bortron 7", he bats his eyes at Sean and calls him "adorable".
  • Big "NO!": Screams this at the end of "Whole Lotta Shakin'".
  • The Bully: Is this to Jet, Sean, and Sydney in "Whole Lotta Shakin'", though he's improved in his next appearance ("Back to Bortron 7").
  • Character Development:
    • While still a bit annoying, in "Back to Bortron 7", he is kinder towards Jet, Sean, and Sydney, and he just adores Earth.
    • In "Zerk Visits Earth", all of his negative traits are gone and he absolutely adores Earth and the Earthies.
  • Clashing Cousins: Zerk often likes to annoy Jet and try to compete with him, as shown in "Whole Lotta Shakin'". However, they seem to get along better as of Season 2.
  • Competition Freak: Is very competitive, as revealed in "Whole Lotta Shakin'".
  • Cool Shades: Wears them while driving in "Back to Bortron 7".
  • Dark Horse Victory: In "Asteroid Belt Space Race", Eggplant and Zerk end up winning the race because of their anti-gravity fluxinators.
  • Early Installment Character-Design Difference: In his wristphone picture in "Whole Lotta Shakin'", he looked a lot like Jet, but with a different hairstyle. In his first physical appearance in "Back to Bortron 7", he gained his all-new permanent look: slicked-back orange hair, freckles, and a green space suit.
  • Exorcist Head: Owing to him being an alien, he can turn his head 360 degrees. He does this in "Zerk Visits Earth", when he arrives on Earth and greets Sydney, Sean, and Mindy.
  • Fantastic Racism: Zerk displayed this towards Sean and Sydney in "Whole Lotta Shakin'", when he says that Earthies aren't good builders. In "Back to Bortron 7", he says that Earth having one moon must be weird. This is all gone in "Zerk Visits Earth", though.
  • Foil:
    • To his cousin Jet. Both are young Bortronian children bubbling with energy and a thirst for knowledge. Jet lives on Earth, and while he is peppy and energetic, he knows how to be calm. He is also very humble and doesn't care about being the winner. Finally, Jet is very open-minded and tolerant of other's differences. On the other hand, Zerk is hyperactive almost all the time and is never shown being calm or quiet. Zerk is a huge braggart and likes to be the best at everything he does. Finally, Zerk was outright racist to the humans in "Whole Lotta Shakin'", saying that they don't build very well.
    • He's also a foil to Stella Singularity. Both are atypical Bortronian children, and both have a relationship to Jet in some way (Zerk is Jet's cousin, and Stella finds out about Jet when he becomes the number one Great Galacto fan). However, while Zerk displays Fantastic Racism towards the Earthies at first, he grows to love Earth, and isn't intentionally rude. Stella doesn't display Fantastic Racism towards Earth or Earthies, but she displays other forms of discrimination such as ageism and heightism. She is also intentionally rude towards others, though she grows out of it.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: Is this to Jet, Sean, Sydney, and Mindy. Mostly because he was a racist bigot to the Earthies in the past, and he is quite irritating. The other kids only hang out with him through Proximity, as he is Jet's cousin, after all. Even though he was a lot kinder to the Earthies in that episode, everyone was actually glad when he left at the end of "Zerk Visits Earth" due to his energetic, hyperactive personality being too much for them to handle.
  • Hidden Depths: "Back to Bortron 7" reveals that he is a great saucer driver, and he easily chauffeurs them from one place to another in just enough time.
  • Improbable Age: He can fly a saucer despite being a kid. He's been doing this since he was 50. However, Bortron 7 may have different driving laws.
  • It's All About Me: Zerk always wants to be in the spotlight. He even attempted to take credit for the "Just Add Water" song in "Back to Bortron 7".
  • Jabba Table Manners: In "Back to Bortron 7", he asked the group if they wanted to see how many Figinnuz he could fit into his mouth until his mom stopped him.
  • Karma Houdini: In "Asteroid Belt Space Race", Eggplant and Zerk cheat in the race by using anti-gravity fluxinators (which effectively steal gravity from the other racers), yet they win and don't get their comeuppance.
  • Keet: Probably rivaling Jet. He is always hyperactive, loud, and excited about every little thing.
  • Know-Nothing Know-It-All: In "Asteroid Belt Space Race", he claims to be an asteroid expert, when he's really not.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: In "Whole Lotta Shakin'", he continually bothers Jet while calling him on the wrist-phone. At the end of the episode, Jet retaliates by tossing his wrist-phone into the vastness of space so Zerk can't bother him anymore.
  • The Load: In "Asteroid Belt Space Race", Zerk proves to be this towards Eggplant. After learning a little bit about the asteroids from Sean and Sydney, Zerk believes that he is now a complete expert on the asteroid belt even though he's really not, and mixes up the directions in the process. This is later subverted, as they did win the race thanks to a device installed in Eggplant's saucer.
  • My Species Doth Protest Too Much: In "Whole Lotta Shakin'", Celery describes Zerk as not being a typical Bortronian and she is absolutely right. Whereas most Bortronians are sweet and like to compete for fun, Zerk (at least in that episode) is a Competition Freak and constantly annoys his cousin. He was even somewhat racist to Sean and Sydney.
  • Odd Name Out: He and his cousin, Jet, are the only members of their family to not have a vegetable name.
  • Redhead In Green: He has red hair and a green space-suit.
  • Rhetorical Request Blunder: In "Zerk Visits Earth", Zerk asks Sunspot to pinch him. He didn't mean it.
  • Stunned Silence: Zerk is at a loss for words when Jet shows him his moon base in "Whole Lotta Shakin".
  • Telepathy: In "Whole Lotta Shakin'", Jet speculates that Zerk can his read his mind, since Zerk always seems to know what Jet's doing.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Loves the classic 3-part Bortronian meal.
  • Verbal Tic: Has a verbal tic where he sounds like a Broken Record. For example: "Hi! Hi, hi, hi!"
  • Yellow Earth, Green Earth: His green spacesuit helps show his relationship to Earth. Although he started out belittling Earth, he eventually grew to love it when he actually visited it.
  • Youthful Freckles: Has these along with Eggplant, Zucchini, Sean, Mitchell, and Dr. Rafferty.

    Moonbeam 

Moonbeam

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ready_jet_go_moonbeam.png
Moonbeam is Uncle Zucchini's alien pet, who is best friends with Sunspot, and plays guitar.
  • Alien Animals: She's a weird cross between a bunny, kangaroo, dog, and cat. Zucchini even lampshades it in their debut episode.
  • Big Eater: In "A Visit from Uncle Zucchini", it is mentioned that she ate Zucchini's dinner.
  • Black Bead Eyes: She has these kind of eyes.
  • Distaff Counterpart: Moonbeam is basically just a female version of Sunspot.
  • Even the Dog Is Ashamed: She is shown plenty of times to be visibly irritated at Zucchini's bumbling.
  • Face Palm: Does this in her debut episode "A Visit From Uncle Zucchini" due to Zucchini's cluelessness.
  • Fainting: Moonbeam faints after Sunspot winks at her in "Back to Bortron 7".
  • Hidden Depths: Is a great guitar player.
  • Male Sun, Female Moon: Sunspot (a masculine alien pet) is themed after the sun and his counterpart Moonbeam (a feminine alien pet) is themed after the moon.
  • Night and Day Duo: The alien pets Sunspot and Moonbeam are associated with the sun and moon through their names and colors (Sunspot is orange, black, and white; Moonbeam is purplish-blue and white.)
  • Orange/Blue Contrast: Her blue fur contrasts with Sunspot's orange fur.
  • Palette Swap: Looks exactly like Sunspot, but is blue.
  • Read the Map Upside Down: In "Asteroid Belt Space Race", Moonbeam serves as Uncle Zucchini's navigator across the asteroid belt, but reads the map upside down. When Zucchini points it out, Moonbeam insists that he should turn his saucer upside down.
  • Ridiculously Cute Critter: Come on, just look at her.
  • Ship Tease: Has plenty with Sunspot. The biggest example is in "Back to Bortron 7". At one point, Sunspot flirtatiously winks at her, which causes her to faint.
  • The Silent Bob: Since she can't talk, she communicates through other means.
  • Silent Snarker: She does not talk, but that doesn't mean she can't snark. It's especially evident in "A Visit from Uncle Zucchini", where she is utterly annoyed at Zucchini's stupidity, and expresses it by face-palming.
  • The Speechless: Like Sunspot, she does not talk and instead uses sound effects to communicate.
  • Straight Man: To Uncle Zucchini, given that she is the smarter of the two.
  • True Blue Femininity: She has blue fur, though it sometimes looks purple.

    Eggplant 

Auntie Eggplant

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2017_08_25_at_72111_pm.png
Eggplant is Jet's aunt. Like Carrot and Celery, she is an intergalactic travel writer. She made her debut in "Back to Bortron 7".
  • '60s Hair: In keeping with the show's Retro Universe aesthetic, she wears her hair in a bubble flip.
  • Accidental Pun: Like many other members of the Propulsion family, she has a vegetable name. She was likely going for Agatha, or perhaps Edna.
  • Big Beautiful Woman: Just look at her.
  • Bearer of Bad News: Eggplant is the person who tells Carrot and Celery that after they do their presentation, they will have to leave Earth forever.
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: She only appeared twice and then dipped.
  • Cool Aunt: She appears to be this to Jet.
  • Compressed Hair: Eggplant's large bubble flip easily fits into her helmet no problem.
  • Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat: In season 2's "Asteroid Belt Space Race", she stops at one point to use her anti-gravity fluxinators, a device that sucks the gravity out of the other saucers. Using this, she and Zerk end up winning the race, making this a subversion of the trope.
  • Hartman Hips: Has these kind of hips.
  • Flat Character: Not much is known about her other than she is a travel writer like Carrot and Celery. This isn't helped by her limited screen-time.
  • Foreshadowing: Her lines in the song "Space Racin'" foreshadow to her having anti-gravity fluxinators installed in her saucer.
    "Well, boosters and carbifonators may sound good, but I've got something special sittin' under my hood"
  • No Gravity for You: Eggplant can her anti-gravity fluxinators to steal gravity from other saucers, rendering them just stuck there in the middle of space.
  • Nonconformist Dyed Hair: Implied to be the reason for the blonde streaks in her hair. None of the other Bortronians have that in their hair, which means it could very well be a rebellious fashion statement.
  • Odd Name Out: She is the only member of her immediate family whose name does not start with "Z".
  • The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: We never see her file travel reports, because of her limited screen time.
  • Redhead In Green: She has red hair and a green space-suit.
  • Youthful Freckles: Has these along with Sean, Mitchell, Dr. Rafferty, Zerk, and Zucchini.

     Face 9001 

Face 9001

Voiced by: Ian James Corlett
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2018_08_25_at_81404_am.png
Face 9000's younger brother, who only appears in "A Kid's Guide to Mars".
  • Attention Whore: Face 9001 craves the spotlight and loves being the center of attention. He is eager to show off his knowledge, while putting his brother down.
  • Annoying Younger Sibling: To Face 9000.
  • Big Brother Bully: In this case, Little Brother Bully, due to constantly picking a fight with his older brother.
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: He only appeared in "A Kid's Guide to Mars", and then was never seen or mentioned again.
  • Foil: To his brother, Face 9000. Even though Face 9001 only appeared in one episode, he's fleshed out enough that one can analyze the differences between him and his brother. Both are talking Bortronian computers who are very intelligent. They also both love attention. While Face 9000 can be an Attention Whore sometimes, he is more often than not a very friendly and helpful computer. By contrast, Face 9001 is an Attention Whore pretty much all the time, on top of having a huge ego and being a jerk to his brother.
  • The Noseless: He doesn't have a nose.
  • Orange/Blue Contrast: His orange color scheme contrasts with his brother's blue color scheme.
  • Palette Swap: He looks just like his brother, but is orange.
  • Parental Favoritism: At least in his eyes. In the episode he's featured in, he says that his and Face 9000's mom said that the former "knows everything".
  • Sibling Rivalry: With Face 9000.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: With Face 9000. Face 9000 can be an Attention Whore at times, but he is otherwise a really friendly and helpful computer. Face 9001 is an Attention Whore all the time, loves showing off, and is a jerk to his brother.
  • The Smart Guy: Like his brother, he is fairly smart.

Characters introduced in Ready Jet Go! Space Camp

    Stella Singularity 

Stella Singularity

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stella_singularity_rjg.jpg
Voiced by: Viva Lee (English), Adela Valbuena (Spanish), Cécile Marmorat (French)
A Bortronian girl who was the number one fan of The Great Galacto until Jet usurped her.
  • The Ace: She can do impressive tricks with a Cool Board, can last in a gyroscope for twelve seconds, is a pretty good swimmer, a great pilot, and a great singer and dancer.
  • Alliterative Name: Stella Singularity.
  • Bully Turned Buddy: She becomes friends with Jet, Sean, Sydney, and Mindy towards the end of the film. She also starts being kinder towards her teammates Mitchell, Aurora, and Houston.
  • Character Development: She starts off the movie as a jealous, self-centered jerk who takes credit for others' ideas, shows no sense of teamwork, and picks on Mindy for being small. Later on, she learns the value of teamwork and compliments Mindy at one point. Overall, by the end of the movie, she is kinder and more civil with not only Jet, but also her teammates, Mitchell, Aurora, and Houston.
  • Cool Starship: She has her own starship that can go fast and looks slick, as Aurora puts it.
  • Competition Freak: She believes that there's no point in doing anything unless she can be the best at it.
  • Damsel in Distress: She gets tangled in some filaments in a cave, prompting Jet and the others to come and rescue her.
  • Deadpan Snarker: She has a tendency to make snide comments towards others, especially ones she considers inferior.
  • Driven by Envy: All of her actions in the movie are motivated by the fact that she is jealous that Jet is the number one fan of the Great Galacto and not her.
  • Easily Forgiven: Stella was quite mean to Jet and the others, but the moment she says sorry, she's forgiven with no hard feelings. Justified, as Jet is an All-Loving Hero.
  • Establishing Character Moment: When she first appears in the movie, she's angry and crossing her arms because Jet took her place as the number one Galacto fan. Soon after, the veejay shows clips of stunts that Stella sent in, showing Stella's bold personality.
  • Evil Counterpart: "Evil" is too strong of a word, but she is one to Jet. Both are young Bortronian children who are fans of the Great Galacto. Their names even match, as they both relate to scientific concepts. However, Jet is selfless, humble, kind, and knows the value of working with others. Stella, on the other hand, is self-centered, envious, rude, and wants to do everything by herself. She reforms with the help of Jet and the others, though.
  • Fangirl: Stella was the number one fan of the Great Galacto until Jet replaced her.
  • Fatal Flaw: Vanity. Stella always wants to be number one, and only cares about her own agenda with little regard for others. Her insistence on doing everything by herself is what lands her in a Damsel in Distress moment.
  • Foil: To Zerk. Both are atypical Bortronian children, and both have a relationship to Jet in some way (Zerk is Jet's cousin, and Stella finds out about Jet when he becomes the number one Great Galacto fan). However, while Zerk displays Fantastic Racism towards the Earthies at first, he grows to love Earth, and isn't intentionally rude. Stella doesn't display Fantastic Racism towards Earth or Earthies, but she displays other forms of discrimination such as ageism and heightism. She is also intentionally rude towards others, though she grows out of it.
  • Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: She wears a pink spacesuit with a skirt, and does her makeup and nails. However, she also likes adventuring, doing tricks with a hoverboard-type thing, and wants to be like a masculine space hero.
  • Glory Seeker: When the gang almost gets pulled into a black hole, Stella only saved them so she could look like a hero. Later, when they learn that the Great Galacto is in trouble, Stella rushes off by herself to save him so she can be his "number one fan...forever."
  • Grin of Audacity: In one of the fan videos that she sent to the Great Galacto fan club, she strikes a smirk before pulling off a "Jack-size 14-40 Triple Cork."
  • Haughty "Hmph": She harrumphs while denying Mindy the chance to read Galacto's ship log.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Once Stella is rescued, she apologizes for how she acted, and from that point on, she is much nicer and a team player.
  • Honorary True Companion: She can't always stay with Jet, Sean, Sydney, and Mindy because she lives on Bortron 7, but the end of the movie makes it clear that she's a good friend of theirs regardless. The "Space Hero" music video shows the five of them hanging out, and they all watch the premiere of said video together on Mascarpone.
  • Humble Pie: She goes through an embarrassing Damsel in Distress moment when she gets caught in the filaments. After she gets rescued, she stops being self-centered and starts being kind and helpful towards the others.
  • It's All About Me: Stella really only cares about her own agenda, and enjoys Stealing the Credit for what other people have done.
  • Jerkass: She is very mean and condescending towards others, displays no team spirit, takes credit for other people's ideas, and insults Mindy because she's little.
  • Jerkass to One: "Crueler to One" (or in this case, two) variety. She's not really nice to anyone, but she seems to have it out for Jet and Mindy in particular. Jet because he replaced her as the number one Great Galacto fan, and Mindy just because she's little.
  • Meaningful Name: Her name, "Stella," means "star," and her last name, Singularity, refers to a region of space where the density of matter, or the curvature of spacetime, becomes infinite.
  • Musical Number Annoyance: She's shown floating by, looking grumpy during the song "Super Hyperdrive."
  • My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Bortronians are established as being cheerful, friendly, and only competing for fun. Stella, on the other hand, is deadpan, rude, and is a Competition Freak.
  • No Sympathy: When Jet reveals that Sunspot is shrinking, Stella shows no concern, unlike the others. Later on, she dismisses him as a "silly pet."
    Stella: I'm about to enter these extremely dangerous caves, but I'll take the risk to save Galacto. Meanwhile, Jet's too wrapped up trying to save some silly pet. Some number one fan he is.
  • Oh, Crap!: When she arrives on Earth, she panics when she sees Cody, thinking that he's a space monster. Later, when an actual space monster appears in the cave, Stella has no choice but to run away screaming.
  • Pet the Dog: After she gets rescued, she starts being nicer to the others. For example, she lets Mindy pilot the spaceship home and compliments her for it. When Stella wins a telescope, she gives it away to Sean.
  • Pink Girl, Blue Boy: She's the pink girl, and her opposite, Jet, is the blue boy.
  • Pink Is Feminine: She wears a pink spacesuit, and is quite feminine. For one thing, her spacesuit has a skirt, which other Bortronian spacesuits lack. She also seems to wear faint lipstick and is shown filing her nails.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: 'Villain' is a stretch (despite what her voice actress claims), as she is only a Jerkass, but she is rather ageist and heightist towards Mindy, saying that she can't help because she's too little. She eventually stops doing it, though.
  • Primp of Contempt: Stella is seen filing her nails while asserting that she had nothing to do with the engine.
  • Psychotic Smirk: She does a devious smile while scheming to take down Jet. This is what the audio description channel on the movie's iTunes release had to say:
    "A maniacal grin on her face, Stella heads for her ship."
  • The Resenter: Stella seems to hate Jet because he's the number one fan of the Great Galacto and not her. But by the end of the movie, her fan ranking doesn't matter to her anymore, and she and Jet are good friends.
  • Second Place Is for Losers: To her, second place isn't good enough. She always has to be number one, and sees no point in doing anything unless she can be the best at it. It's for this reason that she got so upset over becoming the number two Galacto fan.
  • Share Phrase: Stella says "excelsior" much like Jet does, which leads Sean, Sydney, and Mindy to suspect that something is up.
  • Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: Despite being a major character in the movie, she didn't appear in any official descriptions or promos related to the movie at all. In fact, her existence was unknown until the day before the movie premiered, when Craig Bartlett posted pictures of the movie on Instagram.
  • Smug Smiler: She did have a genuine smile when she met Mitchell and talked with him, but throughout the movie, Stella mostly smiles smugly, like when she boasts that she'll win the telescope, saying that it'll make a nice souvenir. After her Heel–Face Turn, she starts genuinely smiling for good.
  • Stealing the Credit: A recurring theme with Stella in the movie. She repeatedly takes credit for other people's work. For example, when Jet finds the Great Galacto's ship log, Stella acts like she's the one that found it.
  • Stellar Name: Really? Who would have guessed?
  • Took a Level in Kindness: After Stella gets rescued by Jet and the others, she apologizes for trying to take over the mission, stops caring about whether she's the best, starts acting friendlier and using teamwork, and even creates a music video about how cool Jet is. This is the girl who, at the beginning of the movie, wanted to dethrone Jet.
  • Unknown Rival: She sees Jet as a rival for her status as the number one Galacto fan. Jet doesn't even care that he's number one, and while Jet does disapprove of Stella's sour attitude, he bears no ill will towards her.
  • Vanity Is Feminine: She's a Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak. She also wears faint lipstick, files her nails (which are also painted), and during the spaceship-building montage, she looks at herself in a mirror and combs her hair.
  • V-Sign: In the zero-gravity training tank, Stella did a peace sign. She also did a peace sign when she left Earth at the end of the movie.

    The Great Galacto 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rjg_great_galacto.png
Voiced by: Mark Oliver (English), Rodolfo Bonacci (Spanish), Gérard Rouzier (French)
A TV and web personality who Jet and Stella idolize.
  • Abnormal Allergy: Like Sunspot, he's allergic to comet dust.
  • Aliens of London: Despite being a space alien, he has a Scottish accent.
  • Alliterative Name: The Great Galacto.
  • Apocalyptic Log: Subverted in that he does turn out to be okay in the end, but in his spaceship on Mascarpone, he leaves behind his ship log, thinking he's doomed.
    "I fear I'm done. No time to wait. I only hope I'm not too late. I'll search the caves before I'm doomed and hope that help comes to me soon."
  • Brave Scot: He has a Scottish accent and isn't afraid of anything, pulling off dangerous feat after feat.
  • Establishing Character Moment: His first lines in the movie emphasize his fearlessness, and how he likes to take on the impossible.
    Galacto: Who dares to tell me comet surfing is impossible? They say impossible. I say irresistible!
  • Expecting Someone Taller: When Jet and the others meet the Great Galacto, Jet remarks that he looks taller in his videos. As it turns out, Galacto had the same allergic reaction as Sunspot, and is also shrinking.
  • Foil: To Commander Cressida. Both are space heroes with alliterative names idolized by the main characters. However, Commander Cressida is a fictional character in a Show Within a Show, while the Great Galacto is a real person and TV show host. Commander Cressida's comics are educational in some capacity, while the Great Galacto's videos just seem to show him doing heroic stuff. Commander Cressida always has her squad with her, while the Great Galacto is a solo act - though he admits that he has a crew that helps him with his videos.
  • The Illegible: The writing in his Apocalyptic Log gets so small, that Jet and the others aren't able to read it.
  • Incredible Shrinking Man: Due to his comet dust allergy, he shrinks, and he went into the caves of Mascarpone to find a cure.
  • I Work Alone: Subverted. It seems like he does everything by himself (which causes Jet to try and do the same thing), but he reveals that he does have people helping him - his behind-the-scenes crew. He admits that none of what he does would be possible without his crew.
  • Motifs: He is associated with tridents. He has a badge with a trident on it on his bodysuit, and his ship has a trident on it, as does his ship log. They represent his power.
  • Nice Guy: He is friendly with his fans and with others, and never seems to let his fame get to his head.
  • Purple Is Powerful: He wears a purple suit, and is a brave, daring space hero.
  • Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: He didn't appear in any official descriptions or promos related to the movie at all.
  • Thrill Seeker: He likes seeking challenges and dangerous missions, such as surfing on comets.
