Character History

Childhood

Jodie Kline was born on 19 October 1985 to a poverty-stricken "Coloured" family in the Cape Flats. Her exceptional intelligence was first noticed by outsiders at age 6, and benefactors allowed her to move to the USA with her parents two years later, where she would rush through school and university until she was 13.

Other family members remained in Cape Town. Jodie's parents originally thought they would be able to help them financially, but did not find jobs that were as well paid as they had hoped; soon, contact was lost altogether.

Teens

Jodie left university in 1999 as a Doctor of Public Health, deciding against further study and preferring to start her own small research company. At this point, she thought she could significantly contribute to solving the problems of the world.

A year later, Jodie got a cold dose of reality. Fuller Innovations, a company that funded her wanted to exploit her for their own profit, thinking they could easily boss the teenager around. When Jodie refused to do anything beyond what the contract specified, the company tried to intimidate her by abducting her parents. Jodie called the police, but Fuller Innovations convinced them that the real kidnappers had framed them. Since Jodie did not give in, they taught her a lesson by killing her parents, again successfully removing all evidence.

Jodie continued her research for several more years but became more and more pessimistic, eventually suspecting most if not all who were funding her to do so merely for their own profit. Governments' promises to combat poverty, diseases and environmental harm no longer appeared credible, either, so she came to believe that human society was actually destroying itself. This made her human enhancement efforts appear futile, so she gradually began focusing her research on her own benefit as well. Shortly after her 18th birthday, Jodie was sued by a funding company for not fulfilling her obligations; apparently having prepared for this, she immediately went into hiding, taking most of her amassed wealth and findings with her.

Going Rogue

In August 2007, Jodie resurfaced in the Rogue Isles, joining the numerous Villains in their struggle for power. By now she had turned metahuman, having improved her body via biological means and a few cybernetics and become a ninja-like fighter. Jodie stated that she was not truly evil but convinced that mankind was destroying itself anyway, and therefore adopted an anarchic lifestyle, represented by the pseudonym Black Jodie and a demonic outfit. After a few weeks, she added small organic wings to herself, aiding her in leaping. In October 2007, Jodie joined Operations, an openly evil supergroup, but ended up leaving silently because she felt out of place.

Black Jodie operates from a secret base, where she continues her research in order to improve her own survivability. Most of her crimes are mercenary work, in order to obtain money and possibly other things that appear useful to her. However, her preference for targeting other villains made her increasingly unpopular, and she became more and more reclusive (possibly also because of progressing with whatever she worked on). In August 2010, she became more active again, although in addition to her work and schemes on the Rogue Isles she was also seen in Paragon City for a while, fighting local villains.

Clones and Huntresses

Rumors were flying thick and fast in the second half of April 2011; it was said that Jodie had gone Hero at last and teamed up with the Legacy Chain against Evil Huntress, a sorceress notorious for her unscrupulousness, only for the latter to form a strike force and successfully hunt and take her down. However, Black Jodie reappeared a few days later as Evil Huntress's new partner (and not necessarily just on business), stating that her personality had at last been adjusted to match her beliefs.

Good doppelgaenger Azure Huntress's investigation seemingly ended in early May with her team accidentally killing Jodie, to much controversy. However, it is speculated that Jodie's death had been faked in order to damage the Hero's reputation, and/or that she had been a clone in the first place.

Finally, not long after, it was not only confirmed that there had been at least two Black Jodies, but also revealed that Black Jodie had been a rogue clone herself all the time, when the real Jodie arrived tracking down a new clone. After another unsuccessful attempt to capture Black Jodie, a possibly permanent partnership between her and Freedom Corps was announced, with Jodie becoming both a scientist for FC as well as a Hero, adopting the name Justice Jodie. Evil Huntress subsequently stated in Black Jodie's name that the latter was the original and Justice Jodie was the clone; however, it is unclear whether Black Jodie and Evil Huntress are actually still allied.

Justice Jodie's first major battle was the Praetorian Surge that happened in mid-May. During the battle Azure Huntress introduced her to Bot-Eireann2, a leader in The Power Corps, who accepted her as a preliminary member.


Personality

Jodie at work
Genius at work.

Jodie grew up believing her research would help improve the state of humanity. Optimism turned to pessimism when her parents were murdered and she gradually realized that most if not all who funded her only did so for their own profit, and that the rich generally did not help the poor as much as they could.

Concluding that humanity will eventually destroy itself anyway, Jodie (or her supposed clone) became a selfish outlaw, wearing a demonic outfit intended as an over-the-top warning. Notably, Black Jodie still harbors a hate for actual villains harming innocents, or at least did so until Evil Huntress became involved, and supposedly helped rid her of her scrouples.

While the misadventures of Justice Jodie are still unclear at this time, she apparently thinks that society deserves another chance, and appears quite determined in her work for Freedom Corps.


Powers and Abilities

Combat

Black Jodie is a skilled fighter and a master of stealth: Her opponents may not even notice her until it is too late. She actually based her fighting style on ninjutsu, although her main weapons of choice are claws.

Bodily speaking, Jodie enjoys improved senses and a general quickness. She realized these by biological means as well as cybernetics.

Other

Looking for a way to quickly travel around the Isles, Black Jodie purchased a pair of small wings at a black market and attached it to herself. However, even after her body had got used to the wings, she deemed actually flying too unsafe because of their size, using them for huge leaps instead. Justice Jodie also entered the fight with similar wings.

Jodie's ultimate origin is her extreme intelligence. She claims to be able to perform surgery on herself using some clever means she naturally does not reveal, causing others to call her a pretender.

Jodie speaks a number of languages, including but not necessarily limited to English, Afrikaans, Xhosa, Dutch, German, Latin, Ancient Greek and Japanese.

Vulnerabilities

Jodie's various alterations to her body might have given her special vulnerabilities she may or not be aware of.


Equipment

Extendable claws are Jodie's weapon of choice. She also carries caltrops with her, and possibly other gadgets that remain hidden.

Other Notes

  • Jodie is said to have an IQ of 183, although she has not confirmed this.
  • Black Jodie enjoys block puzzle video games, and once jokingly announced she would immediately go good again if Nintendo created an AI player able to beat her at Dr. Mario.
  • There was a Praetorian counterpart on the EU Training Room (not yet considered canon), who is a Scrapper and goes by the name of Dr. Kline. She is considered a hero and a member of the Resistance Warden faction. Dr. Kline had been a researcher for the Praetorian government and gave herself combat powers so she would be transferred to Powers Division, where she could no longer be as easily exploited.
