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. (COMIC: Road Trip Of No Return)
Powers & abilities
Even before adopting her superhero identity, she displayed surprising ease with acrobatics. (COMIC: Road Trip Of No Return)
Biography
As a Sheriff
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. (COMIC: Road Trip Of No Return)
Among the Odds
Jung-La was a member of the Odds by the time of Kate Five's second visit to the Fortress of Evening. Like the others (save Armstrong), she was lounging on the roof at the time, preparing to play a game of strip poker with her friends. Kate, who was under the control of her evil symbiote at the time, persuaded them to play a drinking game instead, using a bottle of alcohol that she'd secretly drugged. With all the other teammembers unconscious, it fell to Centennia to defeat Kate Five with the help of Armstrong's disembodied arm. After she did so and all the other Odds were awoken, Jung-La and Merv took it upon themselves to hunt for the symbiote itself, which had been dismissed from Kate's body by Centennia and had subsequently fled. They were unsuccessful in locating it, however, and it ambushed Kate and possessed her again just after she left the Odds' company intent on returning home to make amends. (COMIC: Symbiote Surprise)
