Jung-La was the superhero identity eventually adopted by a young woman from Reality Z-25 31-H who had previously been a country Sheriff, only to become disillusioned with “the system” after an adventure with the Odds helped her realise that her subordinates were corrupt and had been deceiving her on the matter for ages.

Description

Physical appearance

Jung-La was a fit young woman with pale skin, curly blond hair and green eyes. She had a few freckles and a small, slightly up-turned nose. (COMIC: Road Trip Of No Return)

Personality

Jung-La was inquisitive and bold. Although naive about the virtues of the system, she was not especially concerned with strict protocol, notably finding excuses to stray from routine patrols for more “fun” outings even when she didn't actually expect her detours to lead to the discovery of any real threat or crime.

Even before adopting her superhero identity, she displayed surprising ease with acrobatics. (COMIC: Road Trip Of No Return)

Biography

As a Sheriff

Jung-La holds Captain Evening at gunpoint during their first meeting. (COMIC: Road Trip Of No Return)

When the Odds first came across the young woman who would later become Jung-La, she was a country sheriff. She happened upon Captain Evening while on a patrol with Ben and Bill and, despite his outlandish story about travelling with a skeleton, a griffin and an immortal knight, agreed to help him look for them because it sounded like more fun than continuing her patrol with Ben and Bill.

She soon discovered the truth of the Captain's claims when they realised a nearby house was being used as the headquarters of a drug-dealing operation set up by Ben and Bill themselves, and that they were the ones who had knocked out and abducted the other three Odds to stop them meddling. Though captured themselves, the Captain and the Sheriff managed to free themselves and subdue the bad guys. The Sheriff was shaken by the realisation that her subordinates had been hiding such blatant corruption from her, however; going for a midnight swim with the Odds to try and relax, she got some life advice from Captain Evening, who, for his part, decided to follow it himself by ending the Odds' road trip there and returning to New York City.
