Fictional character biography

edit

Jeka Wynzorr is the princess of the planet Orando, a world populated by a ruling class of snake-like aliens and an underclass resembling raccoons. She renounces her position to travel the galaxy and initially uses her illusion-casting abilities to disguise herself as a human.[1][2][3][4] Jeka joins the Legion of Super-Heroes as Sensor and obtains cybernetic arms, which she is rarely seen without.[5][6]

While battling the Terrorforms on Xanthu, Sensor is exposed to Hypertaxis energy, which causes her to mutate uncontrollably until Ra's al Ghul stabilizes her into a nāga-like form.[3][4][7] Sensor becomes reclusive and bitter following her transformation and goes into hiding until the rest of the Legion is enslaved by Universo, whose mind-controlling abilities she is immune to. Sensor and Shikari recruit Ferro and Karate Kid, who were stranded on the planet Steeple, to battle Universo. After Universo is defeated, Sensor co-nominates Dreamer for Legion membership.[8][9]

Sensor in her original form makes minor appearances in Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds, where she is among the Legionnaires summoned to help fight the Time Trapper; and Action Comics (vol. 2), where she, Chameleon Boy, and Shrinking Violet unsuccessfully attempt to change the past.[10][11][12]
