Jinx

Origin

There were only four other acolytes in the East Indian temple where Jinx trained, and after she had learned the secrets of sorcery, she was the only one left, having used her dark powers to kill them and her teacher. Jinx was eventually captured and sent to the US, where prisons were capable of holding a metahuman such as herself.

Villainy Inc.

Later, Jinx joined Villainy Inc. - a group of female villains formed by the Altantean Queen Clea who stole the Trident of Poseidon and tore a dimensional hole into Skartaris. There, Villainy Inc. defeated Travis Morgan and his Sorceress daughter Jennifer Morgan. The group was able to take over the ancient city of Shamballah, until Wonder Woman arrived and destroyed Villainy Inc. member Trinity, a living computer virus who had downloaded herself into the master computer controlling all of Skartaris, using the Trident of Poseidon.

New Fearsome Five

Later, Jinx was recruited by Dr. Sivana into a newly formed Fearsome five, consisting of herself, Psimon, Gizmo, Mammoth, and a newly-restored Shimmer.

Powers & Abilities

Sorceress

Jinx is an elemental sorceress who draws her magic from the natural solid ground. This is why she must have contact with the ground at all times, or her magic becomes weakened or lost altogether. Some of her elemental abilities include but are not limited to: generating powerful force bolts, conjuring wind bursts, summoning emerald flames, creating earth tremors, and even dissolving solid matter, converting it into mystical energy beams. Other abilities may exist but none are certain.
