Jinx was a young magic user and a member of the H.I.V.E. Academy.
History
Early Life
Prior to joining H.I.V.E. Academy, Jinx dated a boy named Leo, who she also worked with as her criminal partner. He gave her the nickname "Lucky", and the two worked together for sometime before their breakup. Leo would eventually become a new supervillain known as Kid Cold, taking on his younger sister Katie as his new partner Ice Kate. [1]
H.I.V.E.
Jinx, along with Mammoth and Gizmo, became students at H.I.V.E. Academy, a school for up and coming teenage supervillains, where they graduated at the top of their class for their year. They were contracted to work for the mysterious supervillain Slade, who invited them to show their prowess by defeating the Teen Titans as their "final exam". Jinx and her peers managed to beat the Titans in combat twice, first by knocking out their leader Robin in a sneak attack and again by taking their headquarters Titans Tower. However, the heroes regrouped and beat the villains out of their home, embarrassing the H.I.V.E. graduates in their first mission. [2]
In a later adventure, the H.I.V.E. once again encountered the Teen Titans while in the midst of a daring bank robbery. The H.I.V.E. managed to escape capture, but not before Robin planted a homing beacon on Jinx's costume. The Titans used the beacon to discover the location of the H.I.V.E. Academy and Cyborg infiltrated the organization using the alias Stone. As Stone, he befriended Jinx and the others, but did not fool the H.I.V.E.'s new headmaster Brother Blood. Although Cyborg's true identity soon became known to the group, his presence made Jinx begin to question her commitment towards being a super-villain.[3]
Some time later, Jinx and the others were in the midst of robbing a museum when they encountered a super-speed hero known as Kid Flash. Kid Flash recovered the stolen items from them, and the H.I.V.E. returned to their base of operations. By this point, Jinx felt that her reputation amongst the H.I.V.E. was tarnished, and she wanted to prove that she had what it took to play in the big leagues. To accomplish this, she attempted to cultivate a relationship with Madame Rouge of the Brotherhood of Evil. She encountered Kid Flash once again, and the H.I.V.E. managed to capture him on behalf of the Brotherhood. While imprisoned, the speedster asked Jinx why she insisted on hanging out with "losers" like the H.I.V.E.. This angered Jinx greatly, but something in Kid Flash's words struck a chord within her. Nevertheless, she believed that the capture of Kid Flash assured her a place within the Brotherhood. Kid Flash soon escaped confinement, but Jinx caught up with and managed to lay him low with an electro-stunner. Madame Rouge however, was unimpressed with Jinx's handiwork and rebuked her efforts, calling her "pathetic". Jinx soon turned against Madame Rouge and following a brief battle, began to distance herself from the rest of the H.I.V.E..[4]
Kid Flash's persistent efforts to reform her finally paid off. Jinx eventually abandoned the H.I.V.E. altogether and reformed herself. She no longer actively participates in criminal endeavors, and occasionally assists the Teen Titans in their various adventures.[5]
After the defeat of the Brotherhood of Evil, Kid Flash and Jinx fought crime together, even moving to Keystone City together. There, they ran into Jinx's ex-boyfriend and ex-partner-in-crime Leo, who was now going by the moniker Kid Cold. While Kid Flash defeated Cold's new sidekick Ice Kate, Jinx apprehended Cold, using his powers to make his pants fall down and expose his underwear before arresting him. [6]
