The 2023 Netflix animated series "Captain Laserhawk: Blood Dragon Remix", which is a loose adaptation of Far Cry 3's expansion game Blood Dragon (alongside featuring other recognizable Ubisoft characters), marks the first time that Rayman has ever been portrayed in an adult-oriented manner, featuring scenes with him saying swear words, drinking alcohol, snorting cocaine, and separately doing the latter while eating sushi off the back of a naked cow lady.

His flashback of going to college and then being rejected by humans due to being an alien is shown in a pixellated style resembling his appearance in the original Rayman while playing the song "The Lum King" from Rayman Origins.

Although it's not confirmed by Ubisoft, his story arc could be seen as an allegory for how Rayman's popularity dwindled since his initial debut in 1995.

The AJM 9 is based on the automatic pistol that Robocop uses in the film trilogy of the same name. The name itself is a reference to the title character's actual name: Alex J. Murphy. The idle animation for pulling out the weapon is Rex spinning it in his hand, a motion that Robocop became known for.
