Jackpot is a new registered hero with The Initiative who fights in New York City.

Bio

Jackpot first appeared in the Spider-Man special Swing Shift that took place on Free Comic Book Day. She reappeared during the Brand New Day story arc. It is stated that she is a new registered hero with the The Initiative. She was seen going after a truck, she heard about on her police scanner, that belonged to a criminal in a Demon Mask and the truck was filled with explosives. She got to the truck, but the driver was gone. She was able to stop the truck before it hit a building.

After Spider-Man kept asking her what her name was, Jackpot asked him what his was. Spider-Man replied "Flash Thompson," so Jackpot claimed her name was "Sara Ehret." This name turns out to be a fake secret identity when Spider-Man goes to the address of the only Sara Ehret he found in the phone book and finds a blonde woman with short hair who tells him that she is not the hero Jackpot.

Speculation suggests that Jackpot could also be Mary Jane Watson, because of the red hair, green eyes, the fact that her superhero name is Jackpot, her purported modeling background and her use of the line "Tiger." Another arrow pointing to Jackpot and MJ being the same person is that she is constantly flying back and forth from LA to New York, and not only to see her boyfriend, Bobby Carr.

Later, Spider-Man gets really curious and tests a coffee cup with Jackpot's fingerprints on it, it was then revealed that the fingerprints belongs to a woman named Alana Jobson. Spider-Man visits her house and finds lots of drugs in her drawer. Jackpot then comes home and starts taking her costumes off and Spider-Man sees her back with lots of bloodstains. Jackpot realises that Spider-Man was present and she battles him and first but she then tells Spider-Man what happened... Jackpot told Spider-Man that her Super Hero license was bought from Sara Ehret after Sara decided to quit from the superhero business. To have powers, Jackpot took a number of drugs including Mutant Growth Hormones. Spider-Man tells her to quit and leaves her to think.

Jackpot later appears when Spider-Man was fighting a villain named Blindside that had the ability to blind people with just a touch. Blindside touches Jackpot causing her to go blind but Spider-Man gave her an anti-dote that stopped her going blind, Jackpot and Spider-Man finally defeat him. After defeating Blindside, something goes wrong with Jackpot and she dies. Spider-Man took the body to Reed Richards to find out what caused the death. Reed Richards tell him that the poison that was released from Blindside that makes people blind killed her, her body couldn't take on too many drugs so she had a overdose and died. After the incident, he brings Jackpot's costume to Sara telling her to continue Jackpot's work and tells her that "With great power, comes great responsibility."
