The Cowboy Bebop Initiative: Jet Black and the Original Space Cowboys
The Jet Black and the True Space Cowboys of Cowboy Bebop
Jet Black, the hard-boiled, heavy-smoking captain of the Bebop spaceship is the archetypal space cowboy. As head of the Cowboy Bebop initiative, the Jet isn't afraid to do what needs to be done. Despite not being a pilot himself, Jet takes'on all the dangers of a space cowboy, from the nefarious gangs of the Red Dragon Syndicate, to alien criminals, and countless other antagonists.
The Cowboy Bebop initiative is an audacious undertaking. Taking a small group of experienced space pilots and turning them into a law-enforcement team whose mission is to take out criminals in the outer reaches of space is something few would have ever dreamed of. But Jet isn't one to back away from a challenge.
Backed up by his second in command Faye Valentine, and their trusty crewmates Spike Spiegel, Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV, and Ein, Jet has faced down some of the toughest adversaries in space. But his message of justice and redemption is never lost among the firefights and close calls.
What's more, Jet always leads the way as an example. His strong sense of morality, and compassion for those he meets, has seen him through some of the most dangerous missions ever undertaken. Even when faced with impossible odds, Jet never wavers in his duty as a space cowboy.
Throughout all these adventures, Jet has remained true to the spirit of the original space cowboys – unyielding heroes, willing to take on any challenge, no matter the cost.
So if you ever find yourself in space, Jet is the one to turn to when looking for a helping hand. Just don't expect him to lighten up anytime soon – he's still the hard-boiled, heavy-smoking captain of the Bebop spaceship that we all know and love.
