History
Very little is known about Jane Doe beyond that she is extradimesional in origin, has a boss named "Vicki" and is one of Earth Prime's foremost experts on the Omniverse. Jane is particularly adept at evading questions. When reluctantly "supering" Jane uses the code name "Genesis".

Jane first appeared at Claremont Academy shortly after Navigatrix arrived with the "Alterni-Teens". While at Claremont Jane associated most closely with Adrian Hooper and Tara Breen who appeared to have an pre-existing relationship with her. The similar colour of Jane's and Tara's fiery red hair has been remarked on by many. Jane is the taller of the two women by a significant measure. The two appear to be close enough in physicality and age to be siblings.

Jane's presence at Claremont infuriated Professor Summers who noted that not only could he not obtain more information on her background but observed that she was already "very well trained".

When Adrian and Tara left Claremont for AEGIS, Jane tagged along but did not join. Director Thorne and Captain Danvers found Jane to be a just as frustrating enigma as Professor Summers does. Director Thorne also remarked that Jane has one of the lowest collateral damage to power quotients recorded.

Approximately a year ago Jane parted company with AEGIS and obtained employment with ASTRO Labs where she works on extra-dimensional projects.

Jane frequently visits the Wicked Witch Cafe in the Ordway Observatory. She maintains friendly relations with Tommy Tonka and Jesse Crockett of "the Band". Jane has revealed that Eric Eastwood, former member of the Band, now works for Jane's boss in her old role. Exactly what this is has never been elaborated on.

History known to Readers
Readers of "Ark of Worlds" and "Next Gen" (cira 2002-2006) are familiar with Jane as originating on Earth-65126 along with Vicki and Chase (also of the Ark of Worlds). She was recruited to the Ark of Worlds after growing up in the Claremont Academy of that reality. Jane was one of the first agents of the Ark to "break protocol" and reveal her true non-native nature to inhabitants of a reality. Something Vicki has still not forgiven Jane for.

Jane demonstrated formidable reality warping powers from a young age  and takes great pains to avoid parties with similar powers. The closest she has come to explaining this is "you don't cross the streams".

Earth-65126 is approximately 35 years ahead of Earth Prime. Jane's world is more advanced than Earth Prime but is not "the future", rather it represnts "a future". In recent years Earth-65126 fell into a Terminus orbit that brings it dangerously close to the Doom Coil. Jane had to sever her reality anchor to her home reality and is currently anchored to Earth Prime. This means any continuity corrections on Earth Prime will affect Jane and she will be personally unaware of them.

In the "Gensis: Resurgence" series Jane's powers have started to demonstrate both wild flucations and spontaneous uncontrollability. [Editor: Read "Genesis" issues 1 - 6 for more information]

Jane's powers are largely unexplained. When Jane use her powers she eminates a blazing red nimbus.

The Ark of Worlds

We exist beyond time. Beyond space. Even beyond reality. Our founders came to the Terminus and found this place abandoned. We do not know who built it or for what purpose. Our founders made it what it is today: an archive of what was but now never was. The three founders. A genius in any and all realities. She is able to quantum compute her own brain; able to harness the processing power of her other selves. Her brother, one of the most powerful reality manipulators since the time of Unas. Constantly bombarded by possibilities only he can see, his mind struggled to focus upon any given reality. The final founder is an anomaly. Something that should not exist but does, replicating as an impossible fractal across worlds. Most her kind perished long ago; only two others remain and they have not witnessed a new of their type since time immemorial. Is she the last of these beings or the first of them reborn? All three of the Founders tap the very fabric of the Omniv...

Ordway Observatory: The Facility Layout and Surrounds

Ordway Observatory: The Facility Layout and Surrounds Originally Published by Jason Cochrane on Oct 12, 2016 at 07:12 AM The Ordway Observatory (OO) once stood as a lonely five story landmark but suburbia has grown around it. The OO finds itself on a crossroads with shops and local commerce on all bar the western side of the property. The OO is bordered by a small car park to the east and south and a set of shops to the north. Primary vehicle entry to the OO is by the eastern car park entrance (with easy access to the workshop). As the only local five story structure it is the tallest building in the neighbourhood. All the remains of the OO’s once generous grounds is a tree dappled park backing onto the west side of the Observatory. Wildey Park is popular with locals and visitors alike and provides a steady source of patronage for the Wicked Witch Café. Wildey Park features a basketball court which, by happy coincidence, can just accommodate an AEGIS VTOL Interceptor. While this ...

The Odd Couple: Jean and Navigatrix

The Odd Couple: Jane and Navigatrix Originally Published by Jason Cochrane on Jun 06, 2016 at 08:18 AM “Navigatrix, does it ever bother you seeing strangers wearing the face of people you know and love?” Jane desperately hoped the intelligent construct would be empathetic to her plight. The anthropomorphic android cocked it’s head at an almost human angle. “No. It does not Jane. I was constructed to travel the Omni-verse. I was programmed to expect echoes, reflections and iterations.” Navigatrix was seated next to Jane on a bench at Claremont Academy. It was fall. The sun was shining but provided feeble warmth from the clear sky. Jane was dressed casually in Janes, a t-shirt and flannel. Navigatrix wore nothing. The robot’s synthetic white and silver alloyed form was on display but no one payed any heed. After all, this was Claremont Academy, the world’s premier super-school. Navigatrix was far from the most unusual being present. Jane slid back on the bench and lo...
