The Daughter of a Hero

Daughter of Alan Scott (Green Lantern) and his occasional enemy Rose Canton (Rose and Thorn), Jennifer-Lynn Hayden grew up in an adoptive home. As she grew older, Jenny-Lynn discovered her true nature when a star shaped birth mark on her left hand blazed alight and her skin and hair turned green from the energy inside her. After reuniting with her twin brother, Todd Rice (Obsidian), Jenny-Lynn became the super heroine Jade. Her powers are similar to those of her father, including his weakness to wood, though they are generated internally not stored in a ring. She also has some control over plants.

Family Business

Jade and Kyle

The siblings would later become members of the super team Infinity, Inc. She lost her powers when she fought the Starheart (the source of her powers) and so she gave up adventuring for a time and began a romance with then Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner. This helped renew her interest in heroics and she used a power ring he gave her to become Green Lantern. Whilst sunbathing on an alien world with Kyle, she revealed that she can photosynthesize (as plants do) due to the chlorophyll in her skin. During his first time with god like powers, Kyle fully restored her powers. Kyle and Jade left Earth for a time, due to the homophobically motivated beating of Kyle's assistant and friend Terry, which caused Kyle to question whether humanity was worth saving. Jade, however, chose to come back first. Jade became involved with another man and ended her relationship with Kyle, in that order.

Outsider

Jade became a member of the Outsiders when they reformed. She led the team for a while after Red Arrow stepped down. Jade joined the team that went into space with Donna Troy during "Infinite Crisis." She did not survive the encounter, however. Her power and her consciousness lingered until merging with Kyle and transforming him into Ion once more.

Legacy

A new Jade, Nicki Jones, is revealed as part of a Lex Luthor sponsored Infinity Inc. The Justice Society Of America is unimpressed but forced to help when Jade's brother, Obsidian, attacks the group for sullying his sister's memory.

Jade's ghost appears to her father while he was in a coma from battling the Gentlemen Ghost. She tells him "good bye" and uses her power to replace the eye he lost during the crisis. The new, glowing, eye allows him to track mystical energy, including ghosts.
