įollowing the capture of a bounty with a hefty price on his head, Jet was forced to go back to Ganymede to deliver him to the authorities. While investigating a hacked satellite, the eccentric Ed joined the trio, who Jet started to take paternal care of. Initially, both men did not agree on having a woman on board, especially an opportunist like Faye, but over time they became attached and a functional team. He also re-captured Faye after finding she ran out of fuel. Later, Jet and Spike captured Maria Murdock only to need to let her go after speaking with Bob. He double-crossed them, but Faye was able to occupy him and destroy his ship. However, seeing as the poker chip Spike had was much more valuable, he decided to make a deal with Gordon. Jet then met Faye and decided to turn her in for the bounty on her. Jet won a good amount of money, however, Spike got into some trouble and the two jumped onto Faye Valentine's ship in order to escape. Jet and Spike went to Spiders From Mars after a dream of Charlie Parker convinced him to try his luck at a casino. In 2071, Jet and Spike, after chasing a kidnapper of animals, came across Ein, a dog with almost human intelligence, whom they somewhat reluctantly decided to adopt as a pet. The two quickly became the most feared bounty hunters in the Solar System. Four years after setting off on the Bebop, in 2068, he met Spike Spiegel who became his partner and close friend.

Jet received a generally good reputation as a bounty hunter. He purchased a former fishing ship, which he named the Bebop, and then began to roam space as a bounty hunter. It was around 2064 when the clock passed to him by Alisa stopped, and Jet, then disgusted with the corruption of the police force, decided to leave both Ganymede and the ISSP. It was unclear whether the scar running through his right eye originated in the same incident or a later event. Although a cell regeneration was possible due to the scientific advancement of the period, Jet opted for a mechanical replacement as a reminder of what had happened to him. Fortunately, Jet survived, and Udai was arrested. The two policemen were separated, and Jet, reaching the murderer, fell into the trap: dazzled by the light of a close-by spotlight, Fad shot him with a bullet so powerful it destroyed his left arm. Unbeknownst to Jet, Fad and Udai were working together and set a trap. One evening, together with his colleague and friend Fad, Jet chased Udai Taxim, a gunman affiliated with the European syndicate. Torn up by Alisa's departure, Jet threw himself into his work and started to investigate a powerful mafia organization that had corrupted much of the police force. Jet, torn by grief, questioned at length the reason for why Alisa had left him and promised that if the clock stopped before Alisa returned he would leave Ganymede forever. One evening, however, he returned home to find Alisa gone, having left him only a note that said "farewell" and a pocket watch. ĭespite the rigours of his work, Jet carried on a relationship with a woman named Alisa, whose proximity gave him the strength to keep going. Jet tried his best, but since Pao knew so much about the syndicate's inner workings, he believed escape was impossible. Pao visited Jet in his home in 2061 for help in leaving the syndicate and leaked information to him. Jet also came to know a member of the Blue Snake crime syndicate, Pao Pu-Zi. He would befriend fellow officers Bob and Donnelly.

Due to his stubbornness while chasing criminals, he earned the nickname "Black Dog" the dog that bites its prey and never lets go. Growing up with a strong moral compass, Jet enlisted in the Inter-Solar System Police (ISSP) and soon became an investigator. He developed a love of blues through his mother and would often get advice from his grandmother as well as life lessons from his father. Jet Black was born on December 3rd, 2035, on Ganymede.
