The beautiful blue-skinned, yellow-eyed and crimson-haired Jezebelle was always depicted as being reluctant to kill, so when she was captured during a battle with [[New Genesis]], she defected.

In ''New Gods'' vol. 3 #1 (February 1989), Jezebelle is killed by Necromina. However, she appears alive in ''[[Seven Soldiers]]'' (2006).
