Jinx is a DC Comics supervillain character. She mainly appears within the Teen Titans comic titles and animated series.
Canon
Jinx first appeared in Tales of the Teen Titans #56 (August 1985). Jinx has power of probability manipulation along with the magical command of various natural elements and manipulation and control of magical/mystical energy in diverse ways. In the comics, Jinx is an Indian elemental sorceress and is bald and slender because of her cancer, and she is always barefoot due to the fact that she must be in contact with the ground to use her nature element abilities.
Jinx is a member of the Fearsome Five, but she's also been involved with Injustice League, Villainy Inc., and Secret Society of Super Villains.
In the Teen Titans cartoon, Jinx was a top student of the H.I.V.E. Academy and the former leader of the H.I.V.E. Five. She was one of the recurring villains that the team faced until a run in with Kid Flash, who had taken a liking to her and tried to convince her to denounce her life of crime. Jinx is seen in "Homecoming - Part 2", as one of the many villains assisting the Brotherhood of Evil. However, it is revealed that she is in the heroes' side during the Titans' final battle against the Brotherhood. She subsequently became an Honorary Titan. She appeared frequently in Teen Titans Go comicsverse.
"Why do you want to be like her?"-Kid Flash
"I'm bad luck. Good was never an option for me."-Jinx, Teen Titans Episode "Lightspeed".
Jinx is a major recurring character in the Teen Titans Go! animated series as a villain and is a mirror image of the other series Jinx. Like earlier seasons in the Teen Titans cartoon, Jinx's main love interest is Cyborg.
Jinx also appears as background character in the DC Super Hero Girls, and again her appearance is very similar to her TT cartoon version.
Fandom
Despite her limited role in the original television series, she gained significant popularity among the fans, especially following the premiere of the episode "Lightspeed". This is probably why she also appears in Teen Titans Go! cartoon and DC Super Hero Girls.
Jinx is mainly shipped with Kid Flash ("Flinx"), although there are some Jinx/Cyborg ("CyJinx") and Jinx/Raven shipping.
