Dr. Helga Jace

Dr. Helga Jace is a scientist from the kingdom of Markovia who serves as the royal physician to Prince Brion Markov (Geo-Force). Her research into Markovian geo-powers connects her directly to the origins of the Outsiders.

Introduced in the pages of Batman and the Outsiders #5 in 1983, Dr. Helga Jace is a Bronze Age DC creation from the collaborative minds of Mike W. Barr, Marv Wolfman, and Jim Aparo — a pedigree that speaks to the ambition behind her debut. She moves in remarkable company, sharing adventures with the likes of Geo-Force, Brion Markov, Metamorpho, Jefferson Pierce, and Robin across titles including Batman and the Outsiders and DC Finest: Teen Titans: The Judas Contract. With at least one collector-recognized key issue to her name and a presence in the catalog stretching all the way to 2025, she's proven quietly enduring for a character whose appearance count remains select and curated. For fans who love digging into the supporting players who give DC's team books their texture and intrigue, Dr. Helga Jace is exactly the kind of figure worth tracking down.
