Jinx is a supervillain appearing in American books published by DC Comics. Created by Marv Wolfman and Chuck Patton, she first appeared in Tales of the Teen Titans #56 (August 1985).[1] The character is often depicted as a skilled Indian sorceress and one of the leaders of the Fearsome Five, a group of super-villains most notable for being adversaries of the Teen Titans and its derivatives. The character bears no relation to the male character of the same name who first appeared in Adventure Comics #488 as an adversary of Chris King and Vicki Grant.[2]

The character has been adapted into other media, including animated films and televisions series, and video games. Her live-action debut was in the fourth season of the HBO Max series Titans, in which she was portrayed by Lisa Ambalavanar.
