In Stranger Things, 'Jane Ives' is the birth name of the character known as Eleven, portrayed by Millie Bobby Brown. Jane was born with special psychokinetic abilities due to her mother, Terry, being experimented upon in the controversial government program known as 'MKUltra'. This program affected Jane while she was still in the womb. After her birth, Jane was kidnapped by Dr. Martin Brenner and brought to Hawkins National Laboratory, where she was given the subject name '011', which eventually got shortened to 'El'.
