Red Lynx

An enemy air ace from Mega War II, the Red Lynx was the most feared pilot during the war and widely regarded as the most evil pilot ever to have lived (and despite this, the Red Lynx's flying skills made him an idol of Chance Furlong). His glory came to an end when he was finally shot down in battle by the heroic Blue Manx, great-grandfather of Mayor Manx.

Years later, his old biplane was fished from Megakat Bay by Abner Doolittle and taken to the Megakat City Museum of History and put on display. His skeletal ghost came with it, thirsting for revenge on any living descendants of the Blue Manx; however, the only one known was Mayor Manx himself. Taking to the skies in his old biplane, the Red Lynx pursued the Mayor through the Megakat Golf Course, but was thwarted when the Swat Kats arrived and pulled Manx to safety using the Sky Claw.

The Red Lynx made a second attempt to assassinate the Mayor, this time during the public unveiling of the advanced prototype Enforcer jet, the Blue Manx (named after the Mayor's great-grandfather). Once again his efforts were hindered by the Swat Kats, who were at the time acting as the Mayor's bodyguards. The wings of his biplane severed by Turboblades, the Red Lynx crashed into the bay and sank. But the ghost pilot was far from finished.

His vengeful spirit would shortly afterward seize control of the Blue Manx prototype, using that in his further attempts to kill his enemy's descendant. It was then learned by Dr. Abby Sinian that only a member of the Manx family was capable of destroying the Red Lynx's ghost once and for all, and with Mayor Manx the only living descendant, he was forced to undertake the job himself, despite his cowardice. Luckily, with the help of Razor, Manx was able to shoot down the Red Lynx with Blowtorch Missiles whilst T-Bone distracted him in the Turbokat, and the Red Lynx once again crashed into the water, but was it the end of him? No one can say for certain.
