Notes[]

  • Although many sites claim that Rocket Boy was a sidekick to Rocketman and Rocketgirl, Rocket Boy and Rocketman were never shown on panel together or even appeared in the same story.
  • Rocket Man's superhero identity would switch back and forth from Rocket Man to Rocket-Man to Rocketman however, both his first and last appearances had him solidly as Rocket Man. Alternatively, Rocketgirl was always one word and Rocket Boy was always two.
  • When reprinted by St. John Publications, Rocket Man was renamed as Zip-Jet and Rocketgirl was never given a code-name other than being referred to as the "Zip-Jet Doll" by some thugs. Their costumes were colored differently and their names were changed to "Tech" Carson and Pat Dale.
  • When re-printed by Bell Features, Rocket Man was renamed Jetman but, Rocketgirl was never given a name.
