Description:
Physical: Jalena is a classical beauty who always dresses in high class clothes and jewelry. She carries herself with a grace and style that is befitting her noble blood and upbringing. Jalena always bears a piece of jewelry or clothing that houses a repository that allows her to carry mercury, which her body slowly consumes over time.

Powers: Riplash's powers originate from a collection of carbon-based, metallically-enhanced coils of long, controllable tendrils. She uses them to coil about her as disguise and armor, which can be used to enhance her physical strength. Her tendrils can vary in size and strength, and she can control them at a distance.
BACKGROUND
Jalena Fondescu was born to a noble French Canadian family with very traditional roots and political influence in both France and Canada. However, Jalena was already troubled by a desire for more. No matter how much influence her family had, she always had to find a way to gain more. When her family was devastated by financial failures in the markets organized by KGB agent machinations, she sought revenge. She joined the CIA and was trained to use her social status to help in CIA field operations. It was during an operation in South America that she decided to step out on her own. Jalena found that her contacts and expertise did wonders for providing opportunities for small-time schemes involving currency counterfeiting.

It was just a few years before the CIA froze her status in operations (but to avoid difficulties of explaining their operations, they never disavowed her completely). Jalena met Dr. Dante Ventura during one of her counterfeiting operations, when he was using her to help counterfeit some Q-tech components that he was stealing from Pakistani buyers. She blackmailed Dr. Ventura into using his Q-tech to make her a quantum implant and give her powers after ruthlessly shooting the original criminal who intended to pay for the implant along with his bodyguards. Dr. Ventura succeeded and only just barely managed to escape before Jalena gained her powers.

Jalena has a significant number of lawyers who work full time providing defenses for her various crimes, alibis for her appearances, and interacting with intelligence agencies to cover her operations. Her legal resources are significant enough and thorough enough that she has yet to be convicted of using powers. In fact, while there is rumor she has powers, she has legal documentation proving that she was an unwilling Dr. Ventura's experimentation.
PERSONALITY
Riplash uses her powers to aid in her jobs, with her greatest goal being that of gaining money and influence.

Special Commentary
Riplash has significant combat and movement abilities, but retains a strong interest in maintaining and growing her wealth and resources. Riplash has gone from organizing international currency schemes to organizing major art thefts and covering them with counterfeits. She is sophisticated and well-educated, with the ability to organize significant art schemes and deal effectively with the criminal elements required to muscle the schemes. Recent intelligence points to her working for Dr. Symantro and the Whisper Alliance.
