Vi asked Jinx to untie her and run away with her like she had before, but to her surprise, Jinx sat down in the chair labeled 'Jinx', reaffirming her new identity and that the girl that Vi knew as a child was gone. With his last words, Silco reaffirmed that he would have never given her up to the enforcers. Jinx, in the midst of a mental breakdown, shot him multiple times. As Jinx struggled to come to a decision, Silco freed himself from his bonds and pointed a gun at Vi. He said that he would have never given her up to the authorities and that she should just kill Vi. Vi said yes, but Silco said that they would be together from one day before Vi would come to her senses and realize that Jinx is a different person. Jinx asked Vi if they were still sisters and if they could be together again. She made two chairs for herself, with one saying Jinx and the other saying Powder. However, this chemical alteration would amplify JInx's mental problems, making her paranoid that Caitlyn was trying to steal Vi from her.Īfter learning that Silco had the chance to give the undercity independence from Zaun in exchange for giving her up to the enforcers, Jinx kidnapped him, Vi, and Caitlyn and put tied them up around a dinner table. In desperation, Silco turned to Singed, a scientist, to save her, chemically altering her but saving her from death.
After a fight with a local gang that had been tracking them, Vi and Caitlyn were kidnapped and Jinx was left alone.Īfter blowing up one of her bombs during a fight against her childhood friend Ekko, Jinx was critically injured. However, she came with Caitlyn Kiramman, an enforcer, leading her to think that Vi was only there to get the crystal back and arrest her. She went to the rooftop of a tall building and lit the flare. She was told to light it in case of an emergency and that Vi would come find her. Afterwards, Jinx decided to light a flare that Vi had given her as a child. After Silco told her that he didn't know that she was alive either. Originally told that Vi was dead, Jinx interrogated Silco about it. Shortly after, Jinx found out that Vi had returned from prison. The stolen crystal lead to searches being performed in Zaun by enforcers. She showed this to Silco, to which he said that she should make a weapon in case they needed to retaliate against Piltover if they decided to come after him. To do so, she decided to steal a newly made Hextech crystal from Jayce Talis. Jinx was scarred from this experience, hearing the voices of Mylo and Claggor in her head and seeing hallucinations of their dead bodies from then on.Īfter Jinx failed to protect one of Silco's shipments of Shimmer, she wanted to prove herself to him again. Powder had another breakdown and found comfort in Silco, who adopted her as his daughter. After finding out Powder was responsible, Vi yelled at her, referring to her as a 'jinx' and telling her that Mylo was always right about it, before walking away. The explosion killed Vander, Mylo, and Claggor. Upon seeing her family in trouble, Powder set off a handmade bomb, powered by one of the stolen Hextech crystals. The children decided to rescue Vander, but Vi told Powder to remain home, which lead to her being sad and crying in her room and eventually tracking down Vander's location herself. Zaunite crimelord Silco attacked the Enforcers and kidnapped Vander in order to both take revenge on Vander for betraying him years before and to accrue power.
To shield his adopted children, Vander claimed responsibility and allowed himself to be arrested. The four would-be thieves inadvertently lead the Enforcers back to the Zaunite slum known as The Lanes. This alerted the Piltover Enforcers which lead to a chase through the city. Powder mishandled unrefined Hextech crystals, leading to an explosion that seriously damaged the building. Life in the undercity was difficult, but Powder was able to stay out of trouble until Vi, Powder, Mylo, and fellow adoptee Claggor decided to break into the Piltover apartment of Jayce Talis in order to carry out a burglary. Powder was always teased by her adopted brother Mylo due to her clumsiness, and was always defended by Vi.
Seeing the girls in distress, Zaunite defender Vander abandoned the battle to keep them safe, taking them away to Zaun. she and her sister Vi were orphaned during a battle between Piltover and the people of Zaun. Jinx was known as "Powder" during childhood.
