| Jean Loring is the ex-wife of Ray palmer the Atom. Ray’s career had taken it’s toll on their marriage and they divorced. Recently, Jean suffered a mental breakdown and decided she wanted to resume her relationship with Ray, she believed that the surest way to do this would be to endanger a loved one of a hero, sending all of the superheroes running back to their spouses and other relatives (including Ray). Using one of Ray's old costumes, she shrunk herself and attempted to cause a minor stroke in Sue Dibny (the Elongated Man's wife), but accidentally applied too much pressure to Dibny's brain, killing her. |
| Panicking, she faked an attack on her own life and set up Captain Boomerang to attack Jack Drake. Loring left a gun for Drake so he would be able to kill Boomerang in self-defence, leading everyone to believe that Boomerang had been the killer. Unfortunately, Drake was also killed, leaving his son Tim Drake (Robin) an orphan. |
| As she had originally planned, during the trauma Ray returned to her. However, she accidentally gave herself away by revealing information on the Boomerang/Drake murders, something that only the killer would have known. Ray had to have her institutionalised at Arkham Asylum. |
| While she was institutionalised, the supernatural entity known as Eclipso manipulated her into being his new host so she could seduce the Spectre into destroying magic. |
