History

Sara's original appearance as Jackpot

Dr. Sara Ehret was a pregnant scientist at Phelcorps Labs where she worked on gene therapy to cure Parkinson's disease when she was accidentally exposed to "Lot 777", a genetically modified virus. The virus rewrote the DNA in her cells, leaving her in a coma for four months. Coming out of her coma, Ehret went on to have her daughter with no complications. However, when her family came under threat by falling debris, she displayed superhuman strength in order to save them. Sara then became Jackpot, a registered super-hero.

However, she wasn't interested in being a super-hero, 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.

Investigating Jackpot's identity, Spider-Man went to what he believed was Jackpot's house in Brooklyn only to find Sara Ehret, who told him she was not the super-hero and sent Spider-Man away. Spider-Man discovered the truth about Alana and Sara later nevertheless.

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. Spider-Man notified Sara about Alana's death while blaming Sara for evading her responsibilities and allowing the otherwise powerless and untrained Alana to go to her doom. Spider-Man told her that people with powers do not have a choice of giving up their responsibilities.

Feeling guilty, Sara reclaimed her heroic identity and adopted a new costume. She came into conflict with Boomerang and a new Rose, who learned her identity. Under the Rose's orders, Boomerang tracked down Sara to her house and killed her husband Scott in front of her and her daughter. Sara got revenge and unmasked the Rose afterwards, but was forced to change her and her daughter's identity, taking the name Alana Jobson.

Sara decided to quit her super-hero career for good until months later, when she went back to New York from her new home in California to testify against Boomerang about Scott's murder but eventually chose to protect Boomerang from Mister Negative after learning that Boomerang was to testify against the crimelord.
