Background
Personality
Jet-Vac is known as the greatest and most daring flying ace throughout his homeland. He is also very noble, having sacrificed his wings to a mother in order to fly her children out of harm's way when their home was attacked.
Biography
Jet-Vac was the greatest, most daring flying ace in all of Windham. He was given his magical wings when he was young, as was the tradition for all Sky Barons. But when his homeland was raided, he chose to sacrifice his wings to a young mother so she could fly her children to safety. This act of nobility caught the attention of Master Eon, who sought out the young Sky Baron and presented him with a gift - a powerful vacuum device that would allow him to soar through the skies once again. Jet-Vac accepted the gift with gratitude, and now daringly fights evil alongside the other Skylanders.
Story
Skylanders: Spyro versus The Mega Monsters
Added by Aura24The Sky Baron later went with Spyro and Drill Sergeant to the Desert of Columns to save the Molekin, Diggs, from a strangely familiar giant troll. Kaos soon arrived, saving the day by 'vanquishing' the monster with a magic staff after claiming to have turned over a new leaf by defeating evil doers.
When the Warrior Librarians of the Eternal Archives arrived at Eon's Citadel, Jet-Vac, along with Trigger Happy, jokingly complimented on Spyro's legendary status after the Lead Curator, Wiggleworth, recognized the young dragon and recalled reading Spyro's heroic exploits from the Scrolls of the Ancients. The Sky Baron stayed behind at the Citadel when the other present Skylanders went with the Librarians to protect the Eternal Archives, and he later helped his fellow Skylanders in repairing the Archive Walls after their battle with Kaos.
Abilities
Jet-Vac uses his powerful vacuum device to shoot bursts of air and suck in enemies and items to him. Having given up his wings, Jet-Vac now flies using his vacuum device on his back.

Trivia
- His name is a play on the word 'jet pack'.
- Jet-Vac was originally called Vac Eagle, then Airgle.
- He is the only Skylander in the UK version of the 'Tall Tales' trailer who has his voice actor changed.
- In the Tall Tales trailer, Jet-Vac lays an egg out of shock when Tree Rex and Bouncer revealed themselves.
- In the Tall Tales trailer with his original voice, he spoke with a thick Scottish accent.
- His catchphrase is based off of the military phrase "Shock and awe".
- If you use the Suction Gun attack when the Jet Pack meter runs out, it makes the meter recharge faster.
- As a LightCore figure, his chest symbol and the end of his vac glow.
- Although he has wings, he does not use them to fly.
- If the room is dark enough, the light from the end of his Vac sometimes makes the barrel seem Translucent.
- One of his upgrades, Vac Blaster 9000, is a pun on the Equals Three (a popular YouTube series created by RayWilliamJohnson) episode "Vag Blaster 9000".
- Apparently, Ray called Ace Power's Horseback riding exercise machine the "Vag Blaster 9000".
- He and Gill Grunt are the only Skylanders who fly using jet packs.
- He shares some battle cries with Sonic Boom being "Best of the nest", "Feathers of fury!" and "The sky's the limit".
- Jet-Vac is the only air Skylander who can't go over water even though he can fly. This is probably because of the Air Meter in his jet pack.
- One of his upgrades, Super Suction Air Blaster, makes the suction gun act like the suck cannon from Ratchet & Clank (A game made by Insomniac Games, Spyro's former developers).
- Jet Vac resembles one of the Three Gargoyles in Legends of the Hidden Temple.
