Jet Stingray, known as Jet Stingren (ジェット・スティングレン) in Japan, is a Maverick from the X era, appearing as one of the main bosses in Mega Man X4. He is a water-themed Reploid based on a stingray, who attacks with high-speed dashes and mini stingray drones. He is a member of Repliforce who participates in their coup d'état.
In the Games
Mega Man X4
Jet Stingray debuted in Mega Man X4 as one of the eight Mavericks on the Stage Select screen. He serves as the boss of the Marine Base stage. The game's Japanese manual states he is a fiercely loyal member of the Repliforce navy, who participates in the coup by sabotaging a city's underground power generators before escaping to a naval base across the waters.[2]
Jet Stingray's pattern can be predictable, but his dash attacks and large number of stingray drones help him control the battlefield. Defeating Jet Stingray grants Ground Hunter to X and Hienkyaku to Zero. His weakness is the Frost Tower or Hyoretsuzan from Frost Walrus, which freezes him and resets his pattern. A boss attack rematch with Jet Stingray later occurs in Final Weapon 3.
