She has her share of quandaries, though: after her brother's death, Jazmin has emerged into the world with something to prove. To the Amazers, to the Legion, to everyone and everything. It tends to make her somewhat defensive, prickly and more than a little snarky. Also, being part of the Amazers puts Kid Quantum still on call with the Xanthu government, who tends to call her back with very little warning, notice or consideration to other events going on. Not only does it mess with her schedule, but it tends to result in Jazmin being not overly fond of any governmental obligations or bureaucrats. The nature of Kid Quantum's acquisition of her stasis field powers (experimental surgery), as well as the power itself tends to have a layer of uncertainty to it. The range and strength of her powers has never been fully tested, and while she has utmost confidence that it will always work as expected, the quantum nature will make it naturally unstable.
She is — as evidenced by her going through the trouble of teaching herself advanced sciences and executing a complex surgery upon herself for the sake of her family's name and pride — both very bright and incredibly strong-willed, as well. Saturn Girl, Dream Girl, Brainiac 5, Invisible Kid and Chameleon Boy all outstrip her in terms of one or the other (or both, in some cases), but both traits are all the same quite notable. Given this, as well as the potential presented by her powers, she tries to walk something of a line between the kind of arrogance that made James so difficult to deal with and the confident surety she seeks to carry herself with before the eyes of others.

ORIGIN STORY
Jazmin Cullen was, like her brother James, born with the ability to create a time-stasis field in a limited area, a power which he augmented with a power-belt. After her brother died in part due to being overly confident in the belt, she studied the biophysics behind her powers and had scientists increase her powers for her so that she’s never need to rely on external devices. The government of Xanthu then selected her to join the Uncanny Amazers, which her brother used to belong to.
Since James died on his first Legion mission, she bore a grudge against the Legion for not helping him more, but her attitude toward the Legion changed when she watched them fight against the Amazers for Star Boy’s services and when she discovered that her brother’s own arrogance was the cause of his death.
Her respect for the Legion grew after she fought alongside the Legionnaires against the powerful sorcerer Mordru. When Xanthu was invaded by the Natra Dellons, Star Boy invited her to join the team, and she accepted the offer, and her membership was later confirmed by an official vote.

Kid Quantum controls two of the fundamental forces of reality (mostly) time and space. Jazmin has a natural command of the quantum fields and uses them to create stasis and force fields, null time, and concussive force. As she's gained experience with her powers, Jazmin has become potentially one of the most powerful Legionnaires. Not only can she speed and slow time, she has even used her powers to travel through time. Character revised according to rules presented in ICONS Great Power book. Streamlined, once again, according to ICONS Superpowered Roleplaying: The Assembled Edition.
