XS (Jenni Ognats)

XS (Jenni Ognats) is a character appearing in media published by DC Comics. She is the daughter of Dawn Allen of the Tornado Twins and granddaughter of Barry Allen, The Flash, who was born in the 31st century. Unlike her cousin Bart Allen, she did not initially possess superpowers. However, she was captured by the alien Dominators for their experiments, which activated her latent metagene and connection to the Speed Force. Utilizing her newfound powers to escape, Jenni joined the Legion of Super-Heroes as their resident speedster, XS.
==Biography==
Jenni Ognats, the daughter of Jeven Ognats and Dawn Allen, and the granddaughter of Barry Allen, initially showed no signs of super-speed. However, the Dominators, aware of her family heritage, captured her. Witnessing her father's torture, her latent super-speed powers were activated, allowing her to escape with her father before the Dominators' base exploded. Jenni's abduction and experimentation by the Dominators awakened her latent super-speed abilities, allowing her to tap into the Speed Force and harness its power.
To learn to control her abilities, Jenni sought help in a laboratory and eventually joined the Legion of Super-Heroes. Overcoming her initial fear and nervousness, she fell in love with Cosmic Boy and M'Onel, and later dated Dyrk Magz.
 
During the Legion's trip to the 20th Century, XS became separated from the team and befriended her cousin Impulse. She participated in an archaeological dig in the future and fought alongside Impulse and other speedsters during the events of "Dead Heat." Afterward, she returned to her time using her grandfather's repaired Cosmic Treadmill but encountered two future incarnations of the Legion before finding her way back. Impulse left her a farewell note at the excavation site.
XS, along with Star Boy, was left behind when the Legion disbanded after losing many teammates. They became trapped on Xanthu during a war with Robotica but managed to save millions of lives. They were eventually rescued by their returning teammates.
 
In a surprising turn of events, XS overcomes her initial fear and exhibits bravery in her second appearance by saving the entire Legion from a device explosive planted in Kid Quantum's coffin.
Jenni Ognats' journey highlights her transformation from an apparently ordinary individual into a powerful speedster and member of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Her connections to the Flash family and her experiences with time travel and alternate realities have played significant roles.
 
==Present==
After being absent for a decade due to her grandfather's actions causing Flashpoint, Jenni finally reappears in The Flash #761 when she is pulled out of the Speed Force by Max Mercury. Her appearance, costume, and reference to Bart as her cousin indicate that she is not associated with the new continuity of the Legion.
==Personality==
Jenni appears as a girl out of her time, getting confused with the current timeline, but she quickly learns as a speedster. She initially wants her cousin to like her and puts in too much effort for it. In the end, Bart admits that they make a good team. Jenni is a girl who thinks with her heart. She is cheerful, vibrant, and optimistic, despite the difficulties they have gone through. Like many speedsters, she shares similarities with her cousin Bart, such as their exuberant excitement. However, she has shown a more mature and protective side compared to Bart, despite Bart technically being the older cousin. 
Although she is a pacifist and initially a newcomer to the Legion, Jenni saved everyone with her efficiency practically on her second day as a rookie during an explosion. Jenni still believes that the world needs to be protected.
==Appearance==
Jenni is a girl with brownish-red hair tied in a ponytail, and she has a tan dark skinned. She also has large amber eyes.
==Powers==
XS possesses powers based on the Speed Force, similar to other members of her family such as Barry Allen, Bart Allen, Wally West, and Iris West II. She can run at speeds close to the speed of light, vibrate through solid matter, and even time travel and cross dimensions by altering her molecular vibrational frequencies.
Speed Force Conduit: Jenni has a connection to the Speed Force, a cosmic force that grants her the ability to manipulate time and space. This connection enhances all aspects of her physiology.

Phasing: By tapping into the Speed Force, Jenni can vibrate her molecules, achieving intangibility for short periods. This allows her to phase through solid objects.

Superhuman Durability: Jenni's Speed Force Aura provides her with increased durability, making her more resistant to injuries and kinetic impacts compared to regular humans.
Superhuman Stamina: The Speed Force grants Jenni with a significant boost in stamina, enabling her to engage in prolonged physical activities, such as fighting or running, for extended periods. However, her stamina is not unlimited.
Superhuman Speed: As a Speed Force conduit, Jenni possesses incredible speed that surpasses human limits. All her other powers and abilities stem from her superhuman speed.
Superhuman Agility: Jenni's agility, balance, and coordination are enhanced to superhuman levels. She can maneuver effortlessly while moving at super speed.
Superhuman Reflexes: Jenni's reflexes are heightened to an extraordinary degree, allowing her to react and dodge with incredible speed and precision.
