Bio:
Jodi Morinaka Slayton was the daughter of Lynn Morinaka, a Japanese woman. Shortly after giving childbirth, Lynn Morinaka had to flee from the hospital, because International Operations was interested in her children, thinking they had inherited their father's superpowers. Lynn managed to take Jodi with her, but she was forced to leave Jodi's twin brother behind. Her son was taken and raised by Kaizen Gamorra.
Jodi was raised by her mother without meeting her father, who in turn was never informed of his daughter's existence. When she was five years old, her mother started to teach her martial arts. After her mother died, Jodi, now sixteen years old, set out to find her long-lost father. Using the information her mother had given her, she went to America to meet up with her father, Marc Slayton a.k.a. Backlash. He in turn discovered that his daughter had inherited his superhuman agility and an innate combat skill from him, but she also displayed superhuman speed which he never had. Inspired, Jodi created her own costumed persona, Crimson, and began adventuring alongside her father and his lover, Taboo, finding her new life exciting, despite her father's protests.
On the island Gamorra, during Fire from Heaven, Jodi met Aries and felt a strange connection to him. Aries turned out to be Jodi's twin brother, though he was artificially aged and already an adult. He escaped before he learned of his relationship to Jodi though.
When Backlash joined Department P.S.I., Jodi was sent to boarding school to keep her safe. Nevertheless she moved back to Department P.S.I. when even boarding school didn't turn out to be safe. When Backlash became co-leader of Wildcore, Crimson went with them on several missions, though she officially wasn't a member. Losing her lover, Styrian, Jodi became disenchanted with the life of a superhero and decided to retire. She renewed her studies, choosing to go to Bay Area University in San Francisco.
Jet
Her retirement didn't last long, as she soon got caught up in a series of adventures in a new identity, Jet, and became romantically involved with Special Crime Forces Officer Robert Stubbs, battling enemies such as Rhyme and Reason, Timewaster and Mr. Meaner. She also captured many criminals who had escaped from the maximum security facility, Purgatory Max and were responsible for the deaths of many Wildcore members.
Wildstorm: Revelations
Jodi partnered with former Wildcats member Savant and renegade Coda warrior Nemesis in an attempt to prevent Armageddon.
World's End
However, their efforts failed and Jodi & Nemesis joined the Wildcats in the ruins of Los Angeles. They stayed with the Wildcats for a while, even battling Majestic who had started a new Kheran empire on the islands of Hawaii. Jodi and Nemesis refuesed Majestic's offer for them to join him. But after a battle against Lord Defile and his Daemonites, Nemsis and Jodi quit the Wildcats and decided to accept Majestic's offer to join him.
