HISTORY

An agent of Doctor Strangefate, the Supreme Lord of Order, Frankie Rayner wielded the power of the green flame as Jade Nova. A ring on the middle finger of her right hand would glow, transforming her into the fiery green form of Jade Nova and allow her to create energy constructs with the green flame.

As all of Doctor Strangefate's agents, Rayner was indebted to the Mage Supreme. Doctor Strangefate had saved Frankie Rayner's soul from his enemy Mephisatanus, paying a high price in the bid for her soul's freedom.

Frankie Rayner was not the first to wield the power of the green flame. The name of her predecessor and the full circumstances of his or her transfer of power to Rayner has yet to be revealed.

Doctor Strangefate summoned three of his most reliable agents when he learned of the threat his universe faced from the man known as Access. Through them he would probe Access' abilities and better understand what he was up against. The lone survivor of the two universes that came before the creation of the Amalgam universe, Access had the power to tear the universe asunder, reversing the fusion that created Strangefate's reality.

Bruce Banner, known as the Abominable Skulk and Wanda Zatara, known as the White Witch and Rayner searched New Gotham City for their target. Banner transformed into the Skulk, a pale white skinned Marshland Monster, in an attempt to take Access by force while Jade Nova was able to chain Access in chains of emerald energy before he teleported away. The White Witch managed to capture Access and she brought him to the Tower of Strangefate, located atop Arkham Asylum.

To save his reality, Doctor Strangefate planned to eliminate Access. The Mage Supreme tried to destroy the shards of the prior universes held by Access but was stunned to learn Access had hidden them at a different location. In a moment of confusion, Access escaped the Tower and teleported away. The man behind the helm of Doctor Strangefate, mutant telepath Charles Xavier, knew he had failed to save his reality. -Doctor Strangefate #1

Access later separated the two universes, restoring what had came before. The current status of Jade Nova and others in her reality has yet to be determined.
