Jeka Wynzorr, codenamed Sensor, is a fictional character, a superheroine in the future of the DC Comics universe, and a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
She is a snake-like alien who was later altered by "Hypertaxis energy" into a semi-humanoid shape, retaining her serpent's tail but gaining a humanoid upper body.
Fictional character biography
[edit]Jeka Wynzorr is a snake-like alien and the princess of the planet Orando who renounced her position to travel the galaxy, using her illusion-casting powers to disguise herself as a humanoid.[1] Eventually, she joined the Legion of Super-Heroes as Sensor and gained a set of cybernetic arms, which she was rarely seen without.
While battling the Terrorforms on Xanthu, Sensor is exposed to Hypertaxis energy and mutates uncontrollably until Ra's al Ghul stabilizes her into a nāga-like form.[2] Afterwards, she secludes herself on Legion World out of shame until coming out of hiding to help fight Universo, whose mind-control powers she is immune to. In 2004, the Legion's continuity was rebooted once more, erasing Sensor from existence and replacing her with a new version of Projectra.
In Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds, an alternate-universe version of Sensor in her original form is among the Legionnaires summoned to help fight the Time Trapper.[3]
Name
[edit]Sensor's first name, Jeka, is a reference to her Preboot counterpart's nickname "Jeckie" (short for "Projectra"). Her surname, Wynzorr, is a reference to the House of Windsor, the British royal family. In keeping with this, her father is King Charlz, and she has a brother named Willum, a play on King Charles III and his son William, Prince of Wales.[citation needed]
In other media
[edit]Sensor appears in Adventures in the DC Universe #10.[4]
