Origin
Born and raised in India, Jinx studied sorcery at an East Indian temple alongside four other acolytes. Once she had learned all the secrets it was possible to learn, she used her magic to murder her peers and teacher, ensuring she would be the only one to wield these powers. She was eventually captured and transported to the United States where she could be housed in a prison designed for metahumans.
Jinx is imprisoned for some time in STAR Labs before being broken out by the Fearsome Five. She joins that group in their villainous activities, coming into conflict mainly with the Teen Titans, but occasionally with other heroes as well. She is eventually captured and imprisoned in Alcatraz alongside Mammoth and Gizmo.

Jinx and the others attack the facility anyways, but are stopped by the Outsiders. Jinx manages to escape capture.
