Influences
While the Hanna & Barbara character Race Bannon of Jonny Quest fame immediately springs to mind, there are other superhero scifi adventure characters which litter the universe in which Jet Jungle was created. The Green Hornet for instance is a radio hero from the 1930s who like Jet, had no superhero powers to speak of, but relied on a Gas gun and a sleek, super-powered car called "The Black Beauty", much faster than normal cars of the day.

Famous quotes containing the word influences:
“However diligent she may be, however dedicated, no mother can escape the larger influences of culture, biology, fate . . . until we can actually live in a society where mothers and children genuinely matter, ours is an essentially powerless responsibility. Mothers carry out most of the work orders, but most of the rules governing our lives are shaped by outside influences.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Nothing changes more constantly than the past; for the past that influences our lives does not consist of what actually happened, but of what men believe happened.”
—Gerald W. Johnson (1890–1980)
“Whoever influences the child’s life ought to try to give him a positive view of himself and of his world. The child’s future happiness and his ability to cope with life and relate to others will depend on it.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
