Jaggie (character) (Johnsonverse)

Jaggie is a superheroine appearing in American comic books published by Johnson Comics. The character was created by Steve and Lynn Webber, and debuted in the 23rd issue of the comic book Adventurous Comics on June 27, 1969, towards the end of the Silver Age of Comic Books.
In the Johnson Comics continuity, Jaggie is the alias of Allie Andrews, an orphaned tomboyish girl who resides in Maldale with her younger brother Glenn. Her origin story involves her swearing to fight crime after witnessing the sacrifice of her uncle Dennis to a group of violent neo-Nazis. She drops out of high school, undergoes physical and mental training, creates a jaguar-inspired persona as a tribute to her uncle (who loved jaguars), and monitors the streets of Maldale with Glenn and police chief Michael Heim assisting by giving her intel on crimes.
The character was created by the Webbers in response to the success of Spider-Man and the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., which brought racism to the forefront; this is reflected in her origin story, in which she is forced to navigate a racist environment as a child. The idea of Spider-Man is also deconstructed with Jaggie's lack of superpowers, forcing her to use makeshift weaponry and her wits to fight criminals, while remaining an orphaned teenager who is forced to drop out of high school to provide for herself and Glenn by taking a part-time job as a car mechanic at Ernie Erhart's auto repair shop when she's not fighting crime.
Jaggie became one of the most successful superheroes, as well as Johnson Comics' mascot. She has been featured in many comic book series, the most successful being her self-titled series, and in countless forms of other media, including several animated television series and video games. In live-action films, Jaggie has been portrayed by actresses Nia Long in the Jaggie trilogy directed by Timothy Hill and the Johnson Heroes Universe. Comic books featuring other versions of Jaggie have also been published by Johnson.

=== Early years ===
Alyson Myra Andrews is the daughter of Darrell and Mitzi Andrews. As a child growing up in an unidentified Southern state, she was constantly bullied by her fellow students for her race. When she was four, both her parents were killed in the crossfire of a war between two criminal organizations, leading to her hatred of guns. Allie's uncle Dennis, a National Guard officer who lived in the city of Maldale, cared for her and her younger brother Glenn throughout their childhood until he sacrificed himself to protect them from a gang of racist neo-Nazi criminals when she was fifteen. This desire for vengeance and justice spurred Allie to become a masked vigilante, dropping out of high school, taking on a jaguar theme for her costume after her uncle's favorite animal and training her body and mind to peak condition.
