Biography
Childhood & Early Teens (1993-2006)
Jessica Campbell Jones was born Jessica Campbell in New York City, New York (specifically Midtown, Manhattan) on September 9th, 1993. Her father, Mr. Campbell was a factory worker and her mother was a waitress. Jessica also had a younger brother who was born in 1997. The family occasionally struggled to get by, but Jessica was a happy and all around normal young girl. When Jessica was thirteen years old her family had gone on vacation in New Jersey. On their way back, Jessica was arguing with her brother. The two distracted her father and the family was caught up in a massive pileup that involved a semi-truck and several other vehicles. When the dust settled Jessica was the only survivor, though the stress and physical trauma of the situation had put her into a coma. Initially, her survival was attributed to a miracle of God, but Jessica would later discover that she had in fact survived due to the activation of her mutant powers. She would awaken from her coma a year later a changed young woman. She suffered from survivor's guilt, developed an incredible affinity for profanity, and was all around unpleasant. Since she had no living relatives, Jessica was sent to live in a group home. There, she was teased mercilessly by the other children for being a "coma girl." This abuse and later rejection by several prospective parents led to her running away from the home many times. While running from the police officers that had come to collect her, Jessica discovered her ability to fly when she suddenly found herself airborne. However, she would be unable to remain in the air and would crash down atop a metal dumpster. It was in this moment that she discovered that she had also become tougher than an ordinary person, since the fall did not harm her in the least. Upon her inevitable return to the group home, Jessica discovered that her strength had also increased when she pushed over a firmly rooted tree.
Teen Years (2006-2011)
Jessica would remain in the group home for another year and, at the age of fifteen, was finally adopted by the elderly Jones couple. While she was still withdrawn and somewhat sullen, Jessica took this as a new beginning and grew to love her adoptive parents very much. As she grew up, she would continue to practice with her abilities while attending high school, often smashing into buildings while flying and breaking objects with her strength in the process. During her senior year, an eighteen year old Jessica decided to use her abilities for the greater good and become a street-level hero.
Living At The X-Mansion
Jessica would arrive at the X-Mansion and would be greeted by Lorna and Matt. The long time Xavier's residents would show her around the Mansion, and all three would learn a little bit more about one another. Jessica would be assigned to room with Namor and, after Lorna left to deal with matters of her own, Jessica and Matt discussed their origins a bit before finishing the tour.

Powers
Jessica is a self-described "flying brick." She is superhumanly strong and while she is currently unaware of her upper limits, she can ultimately lift about 10 tons at her peak, though she is unable to do so for long periods of time as she does not possess any sort of enhanced stamina. She also possesses a limited degree of invulnerability, the upper limits of which she is also currently unaware. She has withstood falls from great heights while learning to fly and could withstand bludgeoning from superhumanly strong beings with little or no injury. She is also somewhat resistant to temperature extremes. She would suffer only body wide soreness after being lit on fire and would suffer similar soreness after being in extreme cold. If she were to be shocked by an electrical discharge equal to that of a live power line, the normally lethal jolt would only cause Jessica to suffer a bloody nose and a brief loss of muscle control. That said, a second jolt would likely render her unconscious for a brief period. Bullets and bladed weapons forged of conventional materials are unable to pierce her skin, though she isn't totally impervious to them and typically suffers minor injuries in the form of bruises. Jessica is able to fly and while her top speed is undocumented, it is ultimately far less than the speed of sound. Jessica's powers do not protect her from diseases or poisons and she still has to breathe. If she is injured, she heals only as fast as a healthy, normal human being would.
Equipment
Nothing too fantastic. Jessica does, however, carry a small notepad and pencil around at all times in order to write down things that she thinks need further investigation or study.
Trivia
Saying that Jessica swears like a sailor would be an understatement.
Jessica is distrusting of mutants with telepathic or empathic abilities.
As a teenager, Jessica spent two years with bright pinkish purple hair.
