Who is XS?

XS is Jenni Ognats, granddaughter of Barry Allen (the Flash), who inherited the family's connection to the Speed Force. Born in the 30th century, she became a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes, fighting alongside Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, and other far-future champions.

Born in the pages of Showcase '96 #8, XS arrived on the DC scene in 1996 courtesy of creators Tom McCraw and Roberto Flores, bringing a burst of Modern Age energy to a publisher already rich with legacy heroes. Over nearly a quarter century of comics history, this character has kept genuinely stellar company β€” sharing adventures with the likes of The Flash, Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy, and Imra Ardeen β€” a roster that speaks to a figure woven into both present-day DC storytelling and the far-future tapestry of the Legion's era. Popping up across Adventure Comics, Green Lantern, and Flash, XS moves through some of DC's most beloved corners with ease. For collectors drawn to characters who bridge generations and timelines, XS is a rewarding discovery hiding in plain sight.
