Crucible:Janie Saturn
Real Name: Jane Jennifer Jerome
Background: Janie Jerome was the 17-year old daughter of Judson Jerome, also known as the superhero Doctor Saturn. Since her father had many enemies, and her mother had been killed by one of them, Dr Saturn imposed strict limits on his daughter. But the clever girl always seemed to evade them, sneaking out at night, and wound up in all kinds of strange adventures, usually completely unknown to her very busy father. Janie was almost always home in time for dinner.
Her many adventures led her into encounters with the UFO-flying Saucermen, giant tentacled space gods from non-Euclidean space, a starship full of undead space pirates, a robot duplicate of President Eisenhower, giant killer doombots, angry Sea-Monkeys, Space Ace, the Mongol conqueror Genghis Khan, and at one point, the entire planet Earth.
Occasionally, Janie teamed with a hard-charging space Earth-born rogue named Selena Moon, stranded in distant space as a child and raised on one of the galactic worlds of the Karnak Empire.
As an adult, Dr. Jane Jerome was one of the founders of the PHASE II scientific division.
Status: Unknown
Powers: Janie had incredible, almost supernatural luck at getting into and out of impossible situations.
Skills: Janie was educated by her father in various fields of science and technology, and an apt student.
Technology: Janie made use of much of her father's advanced technology, if she could sneak it out of the Saturn Base. Her father also built her a guardian robot named B.U.T.L.E.R. that always seemed to tag along on Janie's adventures.
