## Biography

#### Early life

Janet Petty began a life of thievery when she was 20 and had lived as a drifter ever since. She became wanted by the police for breaking and entering, trespassing, and burglary. Despite her lifestyle, Janet maintained an active social media profile, posting photos under the online handle "Null" in Chicago.

#### Gaining meta-human powers

At some point, Janet gained meta human powers through a Thanagarian meteorite. Afterwards, she subsequently became a meta-human with the power to manipulate gravity and decided to use these powers to aid her in committing more high-profile thefts.

Some time after, she confronted Superman and used her powers to temporarily negate his ability of flight. Later that day she robbed Metropolis Bank. While she was on the run, she was apprehended by Superman who cuffed her. She then revealed her escape plan which she called her getaway car, a car with a civilian in it that she made float before the Man Of Steel arrived. The reason she called it this way was because either the person in the car dies from falling down or she gets away and while Superman was saving the man; she got away by using her hairpin clip to free herself from her power-dampening cuffs.

#### Imprisonment

Later in the evening, she attacked a fundraiser where she flew in and then told everyone to put everything that shines, shimmers or sparkles in her bag. She then saw a woman with a sapphire necklace and told her that she loves herself some sapphires. The woman responded that she wasn't going to give it to her but Janet told her that there was no need for the woman to give it to her and that she'll just take it. Janet then made the woman float and took the necklace off her neck just before Superman could fly in to save the woman. He pointed out the fact that there were no getaway cars this time. Janet told him that he was right but then she also said that there were a lot of passengers and touched the ground to try and make all the people there float but they got saved in time. However she ends up being cuffed.
