Jetstream is one of the two tritagonists and a superheroine in the film Sky High.

Background

Jetstream is a world famous superhero who has the power of supersonic flight and is a master of unarmed combat. Her alter ego is Josie Stronghold, a realtor, the wife of Steven Stronghold, and the mother of a teenage boy named Will. She takes her ‘cover job’, as a real estate agent, the "family business" very seriously.

Origins

It is unknown what kind of child Jetstream was, but she eventually discovered her powers of supersonic flight and therefore was eligible to enroll at Sky High. She received her mutated education at the same time as the Commander, whom she fell in love with, and Sue Tenny, who she would remember many years later as strange. As Principal Powers is close in age with Jetstream, she may have been a schoolmate as well.

After graduation, she became a superhero and worked by day as a realtor named Josie. Eventually, she learned that the Commander and his sidekick, Jonathan Boy, had been captured by a supervillain named Royal Pain and her sidekick Stitches, and rather literally swooped into action, bursting in through a window and attacking Royal Pain with the element of surprise. Together, they destroyed Royal Pain's secret weapon, the Pacifier. Unbeknownst to the trio, Royal Pain survived the explosion and she was actually Sue wearing armor. It can be assumed that, like her husband, Jetstream believed, due to Royal Pain's electronic voice, that Royal Pain was male.

It is unknown if they were already married, but this marked the first time the Commander and Jetstream teamed up against evil forces. The Commander worked with her on real estate and they settled into a house and secretly built the Secret Sanctum underground, where they stored the Pacifier.

They would continue to do battle with forces of darkness, such as a large creature with a tentacle as large as she is, or common criminals, whom she and the Commander are known to fight five at a time. They also bested King Kamurah, whose wooden surf board (which presumably was by no means ordinary, considering Stitches recognized it at once) was stored in the Sanctum.

Either before or after besting him, and around half a decade after defeating Royal Pain, they had an affair, resulting in the birth of their son, Will Stronghold. The Commander and Jetstream became renowned for their triumphs, even being widely considered the world's greatest superheroes.

Personality

Jetstream is a powerful and righteous superhero, but off the battlefield, she is also a devoted wife and mother. At the beginning of the film, she reminisced about when Will was a little kid, to which Will replied, embarrassed, "Mom!" She also appeared to be worried about Will too much, until Steve told her to stop treating him like a baby.

Appearances
