Fictional character biography
Jinx, an elemental sorceress from India, acquired her magical training as an acolyte within a priesthood temple. Demonstrating exceptional skill and proficiency, she surpassed her peers in magical abilities. However, after believing herself to have acquired all she could from her master, Jinx committed an act of violence, resulting in the death of her mentor and fellow acolytes. As a consequence of her actions, she became a wanted criminal in India.[4][5]
She first encountered the Fearsome Five when that group attacked Tri-State prison where she was incarcerated at the request of Indian authorities.

Powers and abilities
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 bolts of lightning, creating localized earthquakes, and conjuring potent bursts of magical energy. It is worth noting that Jinx's sorcerous abilities require her feet to maintain contact with the ground.[5][9] Following DC Rebirth, Jinx's powers changed, bringing her closer to her animated counterpart. She gained the abilities of a "probability magician," granting her the capacity to manipulate probability at her discretion. This unique power enables her to influence the likelihood of different events occurring, offering her a distinctive advantage in shaping outcomes according to her intentions.[8] She also retained her prior depicted abilities.[10]
