* ''[[Iron Man]]'' has the rocket boots. In the [[Iron Man (film)|film]] this leads to some [[Amusing Injuries]] before he learns to control them.
** This was clearly a retcon of the comic-book ''Iron Man,'' due to the fact that boot-only rockets would too-obviously end up failing hiliariously as shown; thus since comic-bok Iron Man already had repulsor-rays in his gauntlets, they rationalized that he could simply use them to stablize himself in flight, and avoid flipping over backwards like that when he fired his rocket-boots.
Line 37:
* And [[Adam Strange]] in [[The DCU]].
* ''[[Zot]]'' apparently has several models of the boots.
* [[GI Joe]] get these as standard issue, called J.U.M.P. packs. Cobra later answers this with a man portable flying wing, The C.L.A.W.
* The [[Marvel Universe]] version of [[Leonardo da Vinci]] has this beat with an ''ornithopter''-pack.
* [http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm140/slim_dayspring/Decorated%20images/ze9sRdbFKq4ltcokRBLHR25Ao1_500.jpg Cyclops] has one.
* [[The Rocketeer (comics)|The Rocketeer]]
* The 1980's British ''[[Starblazer]]'' comic had jet packs.
