In an attempt to kill two birds with one stone the Justice Rebels took a DNA sample of Jade (provided by her brother) and attempted to clone her. During the Cloning process they exposed the clone to Kryptonite Radiation. This lead to a mutation in the clone. Her powers are similar to Jades only they the energy is Kryptonite radiation. This makes her an excellent weapon against Superman, but also give them another energy wielding being on their side. She has none of Jade's memories. She was told from the moment she stepped out of the cloning chamber that she was a clone to prevent her from thinking she was Jade with amines. Her cloning education consisted of every scrap of information on the Justice Lords as well as fighting, investigation, and aerial technique.
