Fictional character biography

Jeka Wynzorr is a snake-like alien and the princess of the planet Orando who renounces her position to travel the galaxy, using her illusion-casting abilities to disguise herself as a human. [1] [2] [3] [4] She 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 and mutates uncontrollably until Ra's al Ghul stabilizes her into a nāga-like form. [3] [4] [7] In 2004, the Legion's continuity is rebooted, erasing Sensor from existence and replacing her with a new version of Projectra. [3]

In Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds , an alternate universe variant of Sensor in her original form is among the Legionnaires summoned to help fight the Time Trapper. [8]

Sensor also makes a minor appearance in Action Comics (vol. 2), where she, Chameleon Boy, and Shrinking Violet unsuccessfully attempt to change the past. [9]

Sensor appears in Adventures in the DC Universe #10. [10]
