Biography

Empowerment

Despite being the granddaughter of Barry Allen, the Silver Age Flash, and the daughter of one of the Tornado Twins, Jenni Ognats did not at first display any signs of super-speed. However, the Dominators, knowing her family heritage, captured her, and the sight of seeing her father tortured activated her latent super-speed, and she managed to escape with her father before stray fire from the Dominators caused their base to explode.

Legion

After this, she checked herself into a laboratory to help her learn to co-ordinate herself at super-speed. Once she had learned control, however, she was drafted into the Legion of Super-Heroes. Initially scared and nervous, she eventually learned to overcome this, while she developed crushes on Cosmic Boy and, later, M'Onel.

Xanthu

When she was one of the Legionnaires left behind after many of her teammates were lost, causing the team to be forcefully disbanded, she went to Xanthu with her teammate Star Boy, where she found herself caught in a war between Xanthu and Robotica. While the two Legionnaires managed to save millions of lives by distracting Robotica long enough for the surviving Xanthuians to escape off-planet, they remained trapped there for months thereafter, until rescued by their returned teammates.

Powers and abilities

XS possesses super-speed, able to move at large fractions of the speed of light.
