"In ancient times," said Confucius, "men found the likeness of all excellent qualities in jade. Soft, smooth, and glossy, it appeared to them like benevolence. Fine, compact and strong – like intelligence. Angular, but not sharp and cutting – like righteousness."
Who would have guessed that 2,500 years later those words could also apply to the superheroine known as Jade Lightning? Beneath this petite and delicate exterior beats a noble heart, one who is always searching for peace yet is unafraid to fight for it. A native of China, this vision of beauty was destined from birth to one day become Jade Lightning, bearer of the Green Power Crystals and mistress of lightning and electricity. Alongside her fellow Crystal Angels she battled evil in her homeland until coming stateside in an exchange program designed to foster harmony and cultural understanding across the seas. She now fights crime as a member of the Superheroine Squad, and in her secret identity as a graduate student at Metrobay State University Jade is occasionally assigned to work with the Grrl Power unit when they require some extra firepower.
