Jinx studied and competed in three forms of martial arts from the time she was seven until she graduated from Bryn Mawr.

Jinx was recruited for the Joe team by Snake-Eyes.
"Don't underestimate Jinx. She has been to the Secret Mountain and studied the Seven Silent Forms with the Blind Master. She has the Eye That Pierces, the Iron Hand and the Heart That Waits. She can see through your deception, batter aside your defenses and dazzle you with the strength of her will."
