==Appearance== | |||
Jess is described as an average-looking, wheelchair-bound girl with a mop of auburn hair.{{Ref|name="13.4"|Genesis slept on one of the bunks I’d set aside for my employees. Her face was contorted in an expression of concern. Average looks, if a little round-faced, she had long eyelashes, and her auburn hair was a mop.|#Snare 13.4}} Her legs were thin, atrophied as a result of how long she'd been in the wheelchair.<ref name="13.5" /> | |||
==Abilities and Powers== | |||
Jesse's power is tied to sleep and activity. When she wakes up after being asleep she has no 'charge' with which to summon her construct. She must remain awake for a while to "recharge" her ability.<ref name="13.10">[[Snare 13.10]]</ref><ref name="13.5" /> | |||
To actually create and summon her construct she has to fall asleep, creating a new body and controlling it while her own body sleeps. The new bodies can take many forms and possess powers of their own, but using her power is easier the more "biologically stable" the body she makes is.<ref name="R7">As far as I'm aware, people tend to imagine that Genesis can be anything. In reality, she has a few seconds of half-asleep thinking to form concrete mental pictures, before her (dead; disconnected from outside/Eden resources) passenger steps in and fills in the remainder of the blanks.<br/><br/>This is why she has a tendency to go for bulkier, simple constructions. Giant crab-men and armored knights, or tentacle-limbed monstrosities. She can do complex things (jelly prison for Shatterbird, water-suction/spitting slug), but these complexities tend to come with a vastly lower/weaker construction and core stats for the creation. - [https://redd.it/2xpn06 Comment by] wildbow on Reddit</ref> Stable in this case means creating a form that could reasonably exist, with functional biological functions and similar,<ref name=SB1> | |||
:If she just go for simpler construct it gets stronger "stats", can't she just go for some very simple construct that has very basic superpowers like invulnerability, super strength and regen and because the base stats would be very high she would be at something like Alexandria level?<br/><br/>Any powers she gives the creation have to be workable at a physical level. She can't grant superpowers, except in the sense that you could have a given quality by virtue of physical construction. Flight is fine if she has a built in air-jet or aerodynamic frame.

Once she activates her power, she has a set amount of time to visualize the form she wants to use, complete with any organs or mechanisms to allow for special abilities.

History[edit]
Background[edit]
She was in a wheelchair since she was four.<ref name="13.5" /> Jess was a member of a professional-level video game team on Earth Aleph. When the Simurgh attacked Madison, WI on Earth Bet, she took several buildings from Earth Aleph - including the building Jess was in - which left her stranded on Earth Bet with her friends. After Francis found a suitcase full of Cauldron superhero serum, they each took one except for Noelle and Oliver who only took half a dose.
Story Start[edit]
She traveled to Brockton Bay with the rest of the Travelers.
She assisted in the villainous team up against Lung and the ABB. She was deployed with Trickster and Tattletale. Tattletale was able to intuit her power.<ref name="6.1" />
Post-Leviathan[edit]
Fought alongside the Undersiders against the Slaughterhouse Nine.
Genesis provided assistance in guarding Skitter's territory but was not able to stop Mannequin's retalitory strike.<ref name="13.3"/> She later tried to put out the fires when Burnscar showed up to tag in.
Used a specialized form to capture Shatterbird.
Post-Slaughterhouse Nine[edit]
Dealt with the members of the Dragonflight, though several of her forms were shot by a sub orbital laser model, this was likely the Astaroth-Nidhug.
Post-Echidna[edit]
Returned to Earth Aleph, she did not seem to keep in contact with her former friends.
Gold Morning[edit]
She was requisitioned for the final push and would create a giant image of the Counterpart to break the spirit of The Warrior.<ref name="30.6">Speck 30.6</ref>

Quotes[edit]
- "A world that was awesome in the truer sense of the word, greater in so many respects. In a metaphorical sense, the peaks were higher, the valleys lower, works of art more artful, extremes more… extreme. It wasn't a good thing. Make the mountains twice as tall and the chasms twice as deep, and things start crumbling." - Jess to her team members.<ref name="17.8">Migration 17.8</ref>
