Origin
Helga Jace
After the death of King Markov, the revolution in the nation turned to aggressive combat and Dr. Jace used experimental science to give Brion Markov, the youngest son of the King, super-powers similar to that of his half-sister, Terra. Jace had hoped that Brion's powers would save them from the armed enemies, but her laboratory was soon discovered and she was taken prisoner while Brion was apparently killed. (Batman and the Outsiders v1 #1) Jace was subsequently taken by Baron Bedlam's forces and she was rescued by Metamorpho, who needed her knowledge to find a cure for his condition. When Jace learned that Brion was not dead, she decided to help Metamorpho and started working on a cure for the elemental man. (Batman and the Outsiders v1 #2) At some point during this process, she installed a psychic trigger in Metamorpho's mind that allowed her to control him using trigger words. (Outsiders v1 #27) In the meantime, Jace helped Rex get in touch with his love, Sapphire Stagg, but an uncalled attack by her father, Simon Stagg, killed Metamorpho. Dr. Jace took Rex back to the Outsiders, who decided to help revive their partner. (Batman and the Outsiders v1 #16) Dr. Jace and Sapphire Stagg then travelled along with the Outsiders to Egypt, where Metamorpho was revived by the meteor which first transformed him. (Batman and the Outsiders v1 #17) Unfortunately, the second exposure to the meteor transformed him permanently and Jace had no more means to find a cure for him. (Batman and the Outsiders v1 #18) Later on, Dr. Jace helped Halo recover her lost memory using equipment from the destroyed Justice League Satellite. (Batman and the Outsiders v1 #22)
