Kid Quantum (Jazmin Cullen)

Main Article: Jazmin Cullen

Jazmin Cullen was born with the same minor time-manipulation abilities as her brother, James. After he was killed on the Legion's first mission from his over-reliance on his power-augmenting stasis belt, she resented both him for bringing shame to their family and the Legion for getting him killed. As a result, soon after his death, she underwent a dangerous operation to increase her natural power to a level where she wouldn't require outside aids to be useful. She then joined Xanthu's home-grown super-team, the Amazers, with a chip on her shoulder. As a result of this, when Star Boy was drafted to join the Legion, she arranged for a mechanic friend to lock his entertainment system to play Star Boy's least favourite type of music - Durlan space-shanties - for the whole trip. At full volume. On infinite loop. This would lead to him eventually crashing into a mining colony and nearly being killed. Whether or not she ever found this out is unclear.

She first encountered the Legion directly when Star Boy was summoned home to rejoin the team, and brought several other Legionnaires with him in an attempt to convince Xanthu's government to let him remain with the Legion. Ordered to fix a Legion-Amazer fight for the right for Star Boy to stay with the Legion, she complied until Lamar, the diplomat who arranged the fix, made an offhand comment that the Amazers beating the Legion would repair the damage done by her brother's death. Disgusted by his lack of appreciation for James' sacrifice, she walked off and the Legionnaires won in short order. She was later a part of the Task Force who engaged Mordru. Saddened over the loss of Atom'X, she played a critical part, slowing Mordru for much of the battle until he finally noticed her, when only Invisible Kid's intervention saved her. Exhausted, she played no further part in the fight and was hospitalised for a short time afterward. She then returned to Xanthu, mentioning that she wanted to help plan Atom'X's memorial.
