Turbo Jet (Spider-Man: The New Animated Series)



Blue Streak is a villian from the non MAU series Spider-Man: The New Animated Series

Biography
Not much is known about Whyler's past except that he was a engineer working for NASA who designed a new Jet powered Space Suit. He was later fired for stealing parts of the project and stayed at an apartment near Empire State University in Manhatten in a tower called Vileroy Towers working part time as a sweeper.

Whyler later found out that his home along with everyone else's were being demolished and didn't believe the protest commitie that was trying to stop this was doing a good job, so with the parts he stole from NASA he reproduced the jet powered suit that also included a special magnetic feature. He took on the persona of "Blue Streak", a futuristic version of Robin Hood and used this as his opportunity to help raise money to save Villeroy Towers.

After reading the paper he saw that the Manhatten Museum of Art was about to unveil a priceless 253 carat star ruby and saw this and decided to steal it. He turns up at the museum and uses his magnetism to prise the ruby from it's glass case. Spider-Man follows him, but Blue used a truck to try and stop him, which the web slinger avoided, but has to stop from hitting some citizens in the street.

While Spider-Man saves the citizens, Whyler made his escape. The ruby was found by the tenants of Villeroy Towers that Blue Streak had dropped during his encounter with Spider-Man and the reward money went towards saving the building. The people of Manhatten dubbed this strange vigilante as "Turbo Jet".

One Night Spider-Man tracked him down to the Antiquarian where he stole an 18th century book and nearly eletricuted a guard in the process. The web slinger rescued the guard and attempted to retrieve the book, but Blue Streak took it and sped away to an abandoned dummy factory.

Spider-Man followed him and after a brief fight, demanded him to return the book and told him he didn't like him not caring about people being injured while he is trying to "help people". Blue Streak sees this as jealousy and distracts the webslinger by leaving on his helmets on one of the dummies while makes his escape.

After testing out his jet propulsion sytem, Blue Streak heads down to a deserted alley where he meets a businessman who gives him the money for giving him the stolen book. Blue Streak reveals his next scheme of stealing a telescope being donated by Oscorp, unaware that Spider-Man had followed him and heard his insults of the Manhatten people making him their hero.

The Web slinger tried to capture him, but the villain tried to crush Spider-Man with a dumpster. Spidey manages to get the money from him, but Blue Streak once again escaped.

That Night while Harry Obsorn attempted to donate the telescope, which was intended to help the Villeroy Towers cause, Blue Streak managed to steal it, but was stopped by Spidey's web blocking his way. The Police attempt to capture him, but he threatens to destroy the telescope if they try. However to his horror, he found out that the telescope was a fake and that he had been Spider-Man and the Police. Angrilly, he throws the fake telescope in the direction of the crowd. Tired of Spidey's remarks and interferance, he hits him with a plant pot and kidnaps Mary Jane Watson, knowing that she means a lot to him and makes his escape.

Spider-Man chases him and attaches strands of webbing to the trees and the back of Blue Streak's suit. He goes over to Blue Streak and disables his jet populsion, slowing him down. Mary Jane breaks the visor of his helmet which throws him backwards and forwards with webing like a bungee cord. As he goes forward, Spider-Man delivers a brutal punch that sends him crumpling to the ground unconscious. He is then arrested by the Police and not seen again.
