Fictional character biography

Jeka Wynzorr is the princess of the planet Orando, a world populated by a ruling class of snake-like aliens and an underclass resembling raccoons. She renounces her position to travel the galaxy and initially uses her illusion-casting abilities to disguise herself as a human. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]} Jeka joins the Legion of Super-Heroes as Sensor and obtains cybernetic arms, which she is rarely seen without. ^{[5] [6]}

While battling the Terrorforms on Xanthu, Sensor is exposed to Hypertaxis energy, which causes her to mutate uncontrollably until Ra's al Ghul stabilizes her into a nāga-like form. ^{[3] [4] [7]} Sensor becomes reclusive and bitter following her transformation and goes into hiding until the rest of the Legion is enslaved by Universo, whose mind-controlling abilities she is immune to. Sensor and Shikari recruit Ferro and Karate Kid, who were stranded on the planet Steeple, to battle Universo. After Universo is defeated, Sensor co-nominates Dreamer for Legion membership. ^{[8] [9]}

Sensor in her original form makes minor appearances in Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds , where she is among the Legionnaires summoned to help fight the Time Trapper; and Action Comics (vol. 2), where she, Chameleon Boy, and Shrinking Violet unsuccessfully attempt to change the past. ^{[10] [11] [12]}
