Biography
Janice Lincoln was a female human who was born the daughter of notorious mobster Lonnie Lincoln. (The Superior Foes of Spider-Man v1 #6) From a young age, her father often helped assist her in schemes that cheated the other children who she had 'befriended'. As she grew up, she was enrolled at Columbia Law School with her father having funded her education and bribed the teaching staff to ensure Janice graduated. In fact, he wanted her to become a Valedictorian and arranged for an accident to befall the runner up to the position. After graduating, her father presented her a gift which was a fancy car but Janice instead wanted to become a supervillain. This led to an argument with Lonnie Lincoln who wanted his daughter to instead focus on a career as a financial lawyer where she could steal without getting caught. Tombstone did not want Janice to work as a supervillain on the streets which he believed was a life more suited for a man. This angered Janice who was determined to make it on her own with the fight leading to her father stating that she would have to make a villains life by her own means as he would not support it. Five years later, she came to be a high ranking lawyer at a law firm where a senior partner assigned her a case to be a go-between for Baron Zemo. (The Superior Foes of Spider-Man v1 #7)
Janice continued the case by the prosecution against Scott Lang where it appeared that he would be indicted based on the testimonies provided by witnesses. During a private meeting with Scott, Janice revealed that she was only doing it because she wanted access to shrinking technology of Pym Particles. Thus, she offered a deal whereby if she had his Ant-Man gear brought to him in the trial that he would give her the technology whereupon she would throw the prosecution case against him allowing him to emerge free from further action.

At some point, she came to date Randy Robertson though he was at first unwilling to be involved with a supervillain but Janice claimed to had turned over a new life and dedicated herself to her law career even though she continued operating as the Beetle. (Amazing Spider-Man v5 #28) She was hired by a wealthy client to represent the captured Mysterio who was facing charges of attacking the city. Initially, Mysterio intended to represent himself and pleaded not guilty though Lincoln arrived at the scene where she changed the plea to insanity with him eventually agreeing with her. (Amazing Spider-Man v5 #1) Lincoln then decided to form a new incarnation of the Sinister Syndicate with the intention of it being a women-led criminal organization designed to provide support for female supervillains. It was this that led to her recruiting Lady Octopus, White Rabbit, Scorpia and Trapster with them recruiting their newest member Francine Frye by rescuing her from a prison convoy. Their first mission together was to get revenge against Boomerang who was attending the launch of the new F.E.A.S.T. centre. (Amazing Spider-Man v5 #26) In reality, she intended to collect on the bounty on Boomerang and also planned to set up her Sinister Syndicate to take the fall but came to realise that she was engaging in the same acts as Fred did to her. Furthermore, she came to learn the reason for Mayor Fisks focus on Boomerang and thus decided to break the deal with her recommitting to leading the Sinister Syndicate. In addition, she decided to prove herself to Randy by using her connections to help fix the F.E.A.S.T. centre from the damage made by her earlier attack. (Amazing Spider-Man v5 #28)
