Ubercorn is dressed in a white sparkly suit with light blue stars and purple goggles, and has red sparkly hooves and a purple mane and tail. He guides the Go Jetters during their missions by giving them advice and selecting click-ons for them – suit upgrades enabling them to tackle different situations. He also presents them with three 'funky facts' about each place they visit, introduced by a theme song. * Jet Pad (Naomi McDonald), the high-tech computerised jet that helps the Go Jetters to go around the world and serves as their HQ.

He has a large moustache, used as his trademark, and funnel-like pieces on his helmet. He calls the Go Jetters several names and accuses them of screwing up his fun, and his catchphrase is "Grimbles!" which he says in frustration. He travels around in the Grim HQ, a rusty rocket ship that leaves a trail of smoke, and has a teddy bear called Cuddles. * Grimbots (Marc Silk), who are little spherical robots, Grandmaster Glitch's minions.
