Description "Looks like you just got bad luck!"  

Yes people, it's Jinx!  

Originally born in Northwestern India, Avinashi Pandit was raised into the Brahmin caste: the highest caste in Hindu society, capable of communing with the Gods.  Yet her family was anything but holy.  As a little girl, she watched her father indulge in a life of luxury and pleasure - actions that defied her caste's duties.  At the age of 13, she decided to take matters into her own hands, and joined a Gurukula to lead a life of celibacy, piety and devoutness, in order to truly become close to the Gods.  She formed close bonds with both her Guru and her fellow initiates, all of whom were female.  Yet one dark day, her metahuman powers activated, and due to her age, she was unable to control her newfound magical powers.  As a result, when she tried to reach out to her guru and fellow initiates, she accidentally killed them instead.  For this, and due to the corruption running rampant in India, she was placed under arrest.  However, since India lacked the facilities to contain metahumans, Avinashi was extradited to America, where S.T.A.R. Labs could thoroughly examine her.  Shortly after her arrival, however, she was intercepted by the H.I.V.E., and ended up training under them, learning how to master her powers.  It was there that she began to lose faith in the Gods, believing that they cursed her for her family's hedonistic ways.  Avinashi ended up taking the codename of Jinx, and joined the Fearsome Five as an intern member.  Her first mission was to steal a Medieval manuscript held in the San Jose Museum in Jump City, CA.  Yet that was when her paths crossed with Wally West, AKA Kid Flash, who managed to talk her out of going through with being a criminal.  She denied everything he said about her, but was still flattered that a boy as handsome as he would try to talk with her.  It only wasn't until she saw the Fearsome Five's real mastermind, Psimon, tormenting him that Jinx saw the truth.  She helped to defeat Psimon and left the Fearsome Five.  Now, she's an honorary member of the Teen Titans, and Wally's wife, using her powers as a blessing to curse her enemies.  

Jinx's look is a combination from the Teen Titans cartoon and her outfit in the comics.  She is the mother of Irey West, AKA Impulse, and Jai West, AKA Turtle.  She speaks Hindi and Urdu, and is a great cook, especially when it comes to her country's own cuisine.  This comes in handy, given her husband's voracious appetite.  As she was born and raised Hindu, Jinx sees cattle as sacred, and sees it as sacrilegious to eat beef in any form.

I like the original backstory that you came up with for Jinx and how you tied it into her Indian heritage.

Thanks! I just came up with it recently. I figured that it was time to give her one that did her justice. Plus it ties into her flashbacks in the comics.

So who were Jinx's teammates in the Fearsome Five?

Dr. Light, Psimon, Gizmo and Mammoth. Once she left, she was replaced by Mammoth’s sister, Shimmer.

Does Psimon have ties to Trigon like in the comics?

Oh yes he does! How else would he have attained his powers?

I actually did have an interesting idea for Psimon in my DC Legends headcanon. Instead of being Simon Jones, the DC Legends version of Psimon is actually... Silas Stone.

Trigon offered to give Silas everything he had lost if he became a servant of Trigon. And tragically, a vulnerable and desperate Silas accepted the offer.

0_0 I love this design for Jinx! Her long hairstyle is a great detail, and I haven't seen her besides the Teen Titans original style. Again, I love how you draw hands doing something. Great work on her face expression here ^^ Since she has an ability related to bad luck, sometimes I wonder what would happen if she sneezed and that power got activated, kind of like how when Starfire sneezes her power gets activated accidently XD

Thanks!!! I decided to go with a mix between the outfit she wore in the comics and her appearance in the cartoon. Kid Flash will definitely be all over her.

You're welcome! Your design with her outfit choice makes her very pretty. Kid Flash is a nice guy for her to have. She's quite the catch.

Thanks!! In the comics, this was one of the costumes she wore, as she came originally from India. She's also Wally's wife and the mother of his children, Jai and Irey West, the latter of the two being a speedster like her father.

This is a nice combination of the two versions of Jinx. Her outfit is sexy, yet it's appropriate, and I feel her Teen Titans cartoon look just looks more unique than her comic version.

Thanks! I was actually inspired by her second outfit from the comics, since she's originally from India. I thought that it'd just make Wally West go crazy over her. Plus this iteration of Jinx is the mother of Irey and Jai West. Plus she can handle the spiciest of chili peppers.
