Jinx, an elemental sorceress from India, acquires her magical training as an acolyte within a priesthood temple. Demonstrating exceptional skill and proficiency, she surpasses her peers in magical abilities before killing them and their leader. As a consequence of her actions, she becomes a wanted criminal in India.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />
Jinx is an Indian elemental [[magician (fantasy)|sorceress]] whose powers include the ability to command elements such as air, the manipulation of magical energy that she can manifest as offensive force bolts and green flame, the ability to dissolve matter, and creation of ground tremors. Jinx is bald and slender. She traditionally wears only a white two-piece [[loincloth]] [[bikini]] with golden [[jewelry]], and she is always barefoot due to the fact that she must be in contact with the ground to use her nature element abilities.{{issue|date=August 2018}}


She first encountered the Fearsome Five when that group attacked Tri-State prison where she was incarcerated at the request of Indian authorities. The Five are defeated by the Teen Titans, but Jinx and Neutron decided to join the Fearsome Five. Jinx remained with the group even after Neutron subsequently left it, but after their next appearance in ''[[Adventures of Superman (comic book)|The Adventures of Superman]]'' #430 (July 1987), in which they fought Superman alongside new members Deuce and Charger, the group disbanded, and Jinx was incarcerated in the [[metahuman]] prison on [[Alcatraz]], along with her teammates [[Mammoth (comics)|Mammoth]] and [[Gizmo (DC Comics)|Gizmo]].

Later, in a storyline in ''Outsiders'' (vol. 3) #12–15 (July–October 2004), frequent [[Captain Marvel (DC Comics)|Captain Marvel]] archenemy [[Dr. Sivana]] freed Jinx, Mammoth and Gizmo from Alcatraz. Having summoned teammate [[Psimon]] and having brought her teammate [[Shimmer (comics)|Shimmer]] back to life after she had been turned into glass and shattered, Sivana put the team to work for him in a scheme to [[short selling|short sell]] [[Lexcorp]] stock by having them steal its accounts from its corporate building in [[Metropolis (comics)|Metropolis]], and then driving down the stock by killing all the people in the building. Sivana also had them destroy two other Lexcorp properties. At the latter of the two, a [[integrated circuit|microchip]] processor factory of Lexcorp's [[subsidiary]], Kellacor, the Five were confronted by the Outsiders. After escaping, the criminally unsophisticated Five urged Sivana to take Lexcorp's nuclear missile facility near [[Joshua Tree, California|Joshua Tree]], [[California]]. When Sivana refused, Psimon asserted that they would take it anyway, and in response, Sivana killed Gizmo with a laser blast to the head, and severed relations with the remaining four, warning them that he would kill them if they ever crossed his path again. The Five decided to enact their plan to take the facility and fire a nuclear missile at Canada, but were defeated by the Outsiders. Mammoth was returned to Alcatraz Island, but Jinx and the other members of the Five remain at large.{{issue|date=August 2018}}

Jinx is a formidable elemental sorceress who draws her magic from the solid, natural ground. This is why she must have contact between the ground and her bare feet at all times, or else her magical effects become weakened or lost altogether. Her elemental abilities include, but are not limited to: generating powerful force blasts, conjuring wind bursts, summoning emerald flames, creating earth tremors, creating illusions, and even dissolving solid matter. Jinx also has precognitive abilities that allow her to sense dangerous events moments before they occur. Jinx has an ability to converse with the Earth itself to gently manipulate even greater magic stored there. She may have other mystical abilities as well, although none are certain.{{fact|date=May 2022}}
Jinx is a sorceress skilled in the realm of sorcery. She demonstrates a remarkable command over mystical arts, granting her the ability to manipulate the elements at will. With this power, she can transmute the elements for various purposes, such as projecting lightning, creating localized earthquakes, and conjuring potent bursts of magical energy.

==Other versions==
The animated version of Jinx makes numerous appearances in the comic spin-off of the ''Teen Titans'' animated television series, beginning in issue #1. In #26–27, hints are given of Jinx later reforming her criminals ways (much as in the episode "Lightspeed"). In issue #34 she is depicted as [[Kid Flash]]'s girlfriend. In issue #40, she is still a member of the Hive Five, and issue #43, she aids the Titans in confronting the Fearsome Five. In #53, Jinx' nickname is "Lucky".

The character has been adapted into other media, including animated films and televisions series, and video games. She made her live-action debut in the fourth season of the HBO Max series Titans, portrayed by Lisa Ambalavanar.

Publication history

[edit]

She joined the supervillain group, the Fearsome Five, a frequent enemy of the Teen Titans, Wonder Woman, Superman, and the Outsiders.[3] She has also been a member of Villainy Inc. To date, her real name has not been revealed.[citation needed]

Fictional character biography

[edit]

Jinx, an elemental sorceress from India, acquires her magical training as an acolyte within a priesthood temple. Demonstrating exceptional skill and proficiency, she surpasses her peers in magical abilities before killing them and their leader. As a consequence of her actions, she becomes a wanted criminal in India.[4][5]

She first encounters the Fearsome Five when they attack the Tri-State prison where she is incarcerated. The Five are defeated by the Teen Titans, but Jinx and Neutron decide to join the Fearsome Five. Jinx remains with the group even after Neutron leaves, but is imprisoned in Alcatraz after they disband.

Jinx is part of Circe's army of female supervillains who are defeated by Wonder Woman and Earth's other superheroines.[6] Shortly thereafter, Queen Clea recruits Jinx into the organization Villainy Inc. With Cyborgirl, Doctor Poison, Giganta, and Trinity, Jinx assists Clea in conquering the dimension of Skartaris[4]

In Outsiders (vol. 3), Doctor Sivana frees Jinx, Mammoth and Gizmo from Alcatraz before eventually separating from them.[volume & issue needed]

Jinx later appears as a member of the new Injustice League, and is one of the villains featured in Salvation Run. She is one of the villains sent to retrieve the Get Out of Hell free card from the Secret Six.[volume & issue needed]

As part of DC Comics' 2011 reboot of its continuity, The New 52, Jinx is a member of the Fearsome Five, which is part of the Secret Society, and allies with The Crime Syndicate.[7] She is sent with the other members of the Fearsome Five, Mammoth, Gizmo, Shimmer and Psimon, along with Doctor Psycho and Hector Hammond to fight against Cyborg and the Metal Men. She ends up defeated by Lead.[citation needed]

In DC's 2016 relaunch of its titles, DC Rebirth, Jinx appears as a member of the Fearsome Five.[8]

Powers and abilities

[edit]

Jinx is a sorceress skilled in the realm of sorcery. She demonstrates a remarkable command over mystical arts, granting her the ability to manipulate the elements at will. With this power, she can transmute the elements for various purposes, such as projecting lightning, creating localized earthquakes, and conjuring potent bursts of magical energy. Jinx's sorcerous abilities require her feet to maintain contact with the ground.[5][9] Following DC Rebirth, Jinx is given the additional ability to manipulate probability, similar to her animated counterpart.[8][10]
