 No. No. Please. Stop. You can't be talking to me. Because... Oh, God. Because that means I'm one of Phil Voight's superhumans. And that means I have to fix you in order for someone to hunt me in you. 

—Jenny Swann

History

With a H.E.X. Suit

Dr. Jennifer Swann was a scientist who had succeeded her father on the dead-end, under-funded Project Spitfire whose aim was to create a Human eXperimental (HEX) Suit until the White Event changed her life. The first change was that of her boss, Philip Voight, as he had the government increase the funding to Project Spitfire by a factor of 16% and revealed to Jenny that a superhuman had murdered his girlfriend, her father (and sheriff) and a pair of police officers. He also revealed the H.E.X. Suit's true target: superhumans.

Cipher mark

While returning to her office the second life changing event occurred, she discovered her cyberpathy. Jenny became Earth-555's Cipher, the superhuman who would let her/his people make the technological leap.

Using her new powers and the project's new lease on life, Jenny Swann quickly finished the H.E.X. Suit. However, she prayed for it to not to work because she knew she had created her own destroyer.
