Voice actress June Foray was the voice of Rocky, as well as the voice of Natasha Fatale, Nell Fenwick and other female characters. Occasionally, Rocky would rely on Bullwinkle's strength (via an acrobatic maneuver) to provide him with an extra boost in flight speed, as shown in his attempt to reach the hovering Mount Flatten in the second season's " Upsidaisium" storyline.Īccording to the series, Rocky learned his aerial skills at the Cedar Yorpantz Flying School (a play on the idiomatic expression "seat of your pants"). under his own power in the second season's " Greenpernt Oogle" storyline. Other episodes presented Rocky's flight abilities as similar to those of Superman (hovering in mid-air, ascending in altitude, carrying objects, etc.) one example is Rocky flying from Minnesota to Washington, D.C. His airborne abilities have been depicted inconsistently some episodes, such as the first season's "Jet Fuel Formula" storyline, presented this ability as limited to gliding (similar to the abilities of a real flying squirrel). The original opening title of Rocky and His Friends introduces Rocky as "that Jet Age aerial ace", complete with Rocky performing a solo air show for a crowd of spectators.

Rocky often made extensive use of his ability to fly, which was presented with, appropriate to his full name, a jet engine sound effect. The best he can do is to occasionally remark, "Those two look familiar!" or "That voice, where have I heard it before?"
However, he is no less gullible toward Boris Badenov's and Natasha Fatale's disguises than Bullwinkle. As the brains and straight man of the "moose and squirrel" duo, Rocky often was shown as coming up with creative solutions to the various situations the duo found themselves in on their adventures. Rocky's personality was meant to be that of an upstanding, if slightly naive, all-American youth. Rocky's most frequently used catchphrase was "Hokey smoke!" Rocky and Bullwinkle would often have various adventures that usually saw them thwart the various schemes of the series' villains, Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale (and also occasionally Boris and Natasha's superior, Fearless Leader).
Rocky shared a house with Bullwinkle, in the fictional small town of Frostbite Falls, Minnesota, a parody of the real-life American town of International Falls, Minnesota. However, when the show changed networks from ABC to NBC, its name was changed to The Bullwinkle Show, with Bullwinkle replacing Rocky as the lead role due to the moose having larger popularity than Rocky.

The character was later used as the star of the series Rocky and His Friends. Jay Ward and partner Alex Anderson originally created Rocky as part of The Frostbite Falls Review, a proposed pilot that wasn't developed.
