History Webcomic / JetDream

* [[TookALevelInBadass Took a Level in Girl]]: While already {{Badass}} before their transformations, the T-Girls also had extensive training in Combat Femininity, which made them an AmazonBrigade and quite effective in their new feminized bodies and roles.

* '''Harmony Thunder ([[YanksWithTanks United States of America]])''' -- Former Korean War ace and Thunderbird Squadron leader Jack Thunder, now the "Jet Dream Queen."
* '''Petite ([[GaulsWithGrenades France]])''' -- Formerly the top "Ladies' Man" of the T-Birds, as a woman, the Tiny Tirailleuse is now just as enthusiastically interested in men (and alone among the T-Girls, has no interest whatsoever in women.)
* '''Marlene (WestGermany)''' -- One of the West's top scientific minds, she's also one of the strongest women in the world. Apparently unconcerned with and unaffected by her transformation, and for the most part [[{{Asexuality}} uninterested in sex of any kind]]. Apparently.

* HauntedTechnology: Jet Dream's newest helicopter, the X-34 Athena Stratolifter, is revealed to be [[http://tgcaps.com/tgc/modcomics/suedenim/jetdream/jetdream04/jetdream4_02.jpg The Haunted Copter]]. Parodying DCComics' TheHauntedTank feature, the X-34 is haunted by the ghost of Athena.[[note]]''Jet Dream'' #4[[/note]]

The original GoldKeyComics ''ComicBook/JetDream'' comic book stories provide the primary source material for the Jet Dream RemixComic, also known as ''Jet Dream and Her T-Girl Counterspies''. According to the fictional publishing history of the series, the characters were previously the stars of the long-running series ''Thunderbird Squadron''. But in the (nonexistent) final issues of that series, the T-Birds were [[GenderBender transformed into ''T-Girls'']] by the biological super-weapon [[AppliedPhlebotinum Virus-X]].

* PurpleProse: In both stories and letter columns, Suzanne de Nîmes writes with the bombast and alliteration of a transgender StanLee.

The T-Girls engage in a variety of espionage and paramilitary activities, operating under {{NATO}} supervision. Their organization, formally, is '''J.E.T. D.R.E.A.M.''' - The '''J'''oint '''E'''lite '''T'''eam, '''D'''ivision of '''R'''aiding-'''E'''xpert '''A'''eronautical '''M'''aidens. Typically, however, the organization is referred to as simply "Jet Dream."

* {{Retraux}}: Both [[TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] and [[TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] styles are parodied:

* '''Ting-a-Ling ([[TheBritishEmpire UK colony of Fiji]])''' -- Princess of a mysterious matriarchal Fiji tribe, Christina Ling was the sole female member of the old Thunderbird Squadron. [[MysteriousPast But all is not what it seems]] regarding her past....

According to the fictional publishing history of TG Comics, Cookie Jarr became the BreakoutCharacter of the [[GenderBender All-New, All-Female]] ''Jet Dream'' series. As a result, she gained her own solo title, ''It's Cookie!''. Unlike the straight action-adventure of the main title, ''It's Cookie!'' was a "teen humor" title, focusing on Cookie's role as head of Jet Dream's "kid sister" organization, '''J.E.T. T.E.E.N.''' - '''J'''unior '''E'''chelon, '''T'''een '''T'''-Girls, '''E'''lle-Boys, and '''E'''sprit-Girls ('''N'''atural!) While humorous in nature, these stories also had ColdWar themes, focusing on the mostly-peaceful "Cool War" propaganda campaign between NATO and the WarsawPact to win over the world's teens with competing [[GenderBender sex-change]] programs.

* ColdWar: Mostly averted in the original comic (which largely dealt with generic "enemy agents"), but played straight (Communist adversaries) in the main ''Jet Dream'' title, and parodied (the "Cool War" propaganda campaigns to win over the world's teens) in ''It's Cookie!''

* [[ThirdLawOfGenderBending 3rd Law of Gender Bending]]: Being [[ActionGirl Action Girls]], the T-Girls retain many traditionally "masculine" traits, but as [[MataHari covert operatives]], they have been extensively trained in all aspects of female appearance and behavior. However, they also seem to [[TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody thoroughly enjoy]] both their new female bodies and roles to varying degrees.

* MultinationalTeam: In addition to the T-Girls themselves, ''Raven Red and her Dynamic Dare-Dolls'', as seen in [[http://tgcaps.com/tgc/modcomics/suedenim/jetdream/jetdream06/jetdream6_01.jpg "The Poweder-Puff Derby Caper"]]. Raven's team includes comically stereotypical representatives of various ethnicities and nationalities not "taken" by T-Girls (including [[AustralianAccent an Australian]], [[EverythingIsBigInTexas a Texan]], [[YiddishAsASecondLanguage a Jewish-American]], and [[GratuitousItalian an Italian]].)[[note]]''Jet Dream'' #6[[/note]]

* RemixComic: Primarily using the original ''Jet Dream'' comic as source material. Other comics used for material include the "Diana Prince, WonderWoman" stories, MillieTheModel, and various other "Teen Humor" and romance titles.

* CelibateHero: Marlene, apparently indifferent to sex of any sort, thinks of her sex change as a minor inconvenience that occasionally gets in the way of [[ForScience Doing Science]]. The occasional urge can be dealt with easily enough by using [[ADateWithRosiePalms her Jet Dream Vibrostick]]. This attitude [[http://tgcaps.com/caps/modcomics/suedenim/jetdream/mjdr01/mjdr1_01.jpg.php doesn't last forever]], though.

* TheProblemWithPenIsland: Deliberately [[InvokedTrope invoked]] at the end of ''[[http://tgcaps.com/caps/modcomics/suedenim/jetdream/jetdream02/jetdream2_06.jpg.php Jet Dream #2]]''. Harmony (frustrated as the only [[GenderBender T-Girl]] yet to pass her [[TrainingFromHell "Feminine Biology" training course]]) goes to the movies on a date. Afterwards, she says seeing the movie helped resolve her problem. Her date remarks "I knew you only needed one good flick!"

!! The [[http://tgcaps.com/caps/modcomics/suedenim/jetdream/ Jet Dream]] RemixComic provides examples of:

* WorldOfActionGirls: Not only are the T-Girls and many of their adversaries female, but the various processes used to turn men into women also provide BioAugmentation, enhancing the new woman's strength, agility, and endurance. It's implied that after a generation or two, many of the world's men will voluntarily become women (and most of the remainder will become [[WholesomeCrossdresser Wholesome Crossdressers]]).

* ComicsCode: Despite the heavy emphasis on [[GenderBender sex changes]] and [[WholesomeCrossdresser "Fem Is In!"]] activities, the fictional publisher of the Jet Dream titles sought the approval of the Comics Code Authority. Aside from the occasional double-entendre and hints of [[GirlOnGirlIsHot lesbian relationships]], the books generally ''do'' stay within the limits of the Comics Code circa 1970.

* DoubleEntendre: The comic is presented in such a way that it ''might'' theoretically have been approved by the ComicsCode Authority circa 1970, if they could buy the basic GenderBender premise. Thus, almost all references to sex are veiled ones.

* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: The (fictional) publisher of Jet Dream comics limited [[WholesomeCrossdresser Elle-Boy]] contact with other boys to "D-F-K" (Dance-Flirt-Kiss), and then only for "training purposes." This was apparently in a misguided attempt to pass ComicsCode muster and due to his own idiosyncratic belief that men needed to adopt a [[WeCanRuleTogether "Fem Is In!"]] lifestyle to survive in the [[{{Cloudcuckooland}} brave new mostly-female world]] that will ultimately arise from Womens' Lib, sperm banks, test-tube babies, and cloning.
