History

Alana as Jackpot

Sara Ehret was Jackpot, a registered superhero. However, she wasn't interested in being a superhero, preferring to go back to her normal life and family instead. Her friend Alana Jobson recognized Sara and showed genuine enthusiasm at paying her for the use of Sara's Jackpot identity and license. Sara took the offer in response to Alana's entreaties and gave up costumed crime fighting. Alana used a dangerous mixture of drugs including Mutant Growth Hormone, human growth hormone and anabolic steroids to grant herself superhuman powers associated with the Jackpot identity.

When Spider-Man and Jackpot teamed up against a new villain named Menace, councilwoman Lisa Parfrey was killed. Alana fled feeling responsible. Investigating Jackpot's identity, Spider-Man went to what he believed was Jackpot's house only to find Sara Ehret, who told him she was not the super-heroine Jackpot and sent Spider-Man away.

Later Spider-Man found out the secret identity of Jobson when he borrowed a cup she was drinking from to get a fingerprint. On entering her home he found several illicit drugs and confronted Jobson.

While fighting Commanda and Blindside, Alana was pumped by Blindside with his blinding neurotoxin called Oedipus. Spider-Man came to the rescue with an antidote which cleared Alana's vision. However, Oedipus had a terrible reaction with the combination of the drugs in her body, causing Alana's fatal myocardial infarction shortly after she and Spider-Man captured the two villains.

Attributes

Powers

Jackpot's powers originate from Mutant Growth Hormone combined with several other drugs.

• Superhuman Strength: Jackpot is superhumanly strong and is capable of lifting 5 tons.
• Superhuman Speed
• Superhuman Agility
• Superhuman Reflexes
• Superhuman Stamina
• Superhuman Durability: nearly bulletproof.

Notes

• Jackpot's first appearance was in the Free Comic Book Day Spider-Man Special released on May 5th, 2007. However, the identity of that Jackpot was Sara Ehret.
• At first, Spider-Man speculated that the character was Mary Jane Watson because she looked like Mary Jane and called him "Tiger". Similarly, the name "Jackpot" echoes Mary Jane's classic line: "Face it, Tiger... you just hit the jackpot!"
• As Jackpot she wore a red wig, green jumpsuit with bell bottoms, gold cuffs, a silver stripe running down the front, a mask similar to goggles. Her belt had the numbers 777 on it. This is likely due to the fact that on slot machines, the numbers 777 combine to win the "jackpot." It is unknown as of now whether this or her cuffs was used for a specific function.
• Alana was lesbian. She was romantically attracted to Sara Ehret but never told her.
