	Jinx (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jinx remained with the group even after Neutron subsequently left it, but after their next appearance in Adventures of Superman #430 (July 1987), in which they fought Superman alongside new members Deuce and Charger, the group disbanded, and Jinx was incarcerated in the metahuman prison on Alcatraz, along with her teammates Mammoth and Gizmo.
		Jinx was then in a series of bank robberies with Gizmo and Mammoth but the Titans planted a tracking device on her while they escaped and had Cyborg enter the H.I.V.E. as a student.
		Jinx's powers are described as the ability to "bring bad luck" to her enemies, similar to early portrayals of the Marvel Comics character Scarlet Witch; how she does this is never explored, though it may have something to do with the force of entropy.

		If one of them calls "jinx", the other one can't say anything unless someone says his or her name (in another variation the name must be said thrice.).

		She laughs a Jinx laugh, halfway between the cocksure, elbow-in-the-ribs chuckle of a Hollywood insider and the shy giggle of an Indiana schoolgirl, and finally turns her back on the lake, which remains as peaceful and motionless as a stoned hippie the day after Woodstock.
		Jinx and her group recorded the song, and the rest, as they always say in Hollywood, is history.
		And, for that one magic Jinx moment, without any half-hesitation or hanging back, she seems to know where the road that passes by the lakeside lodge is going and why she is going to stay on it a while longer.

	Jinx - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The character of Joe Btfsplk, from Al Capp's Li'l Abner comic strip, was a jinx.
		The word seems to have originally been used in the context of baseball; in Pitching at a Pinch (1910), Christy Mathewson explained that "a jinx is something which brings bad luck to a ball player." It may come from Latin iynx, the name for the wryneck bird, which was occasionally used in magic and divination.
		A "thought jinx" is similar but rather harder to comply to.

		Dear Word Detective: A friend of mine recently said that she felt there was some kind of jinx on her dating life, and this made me wonder about the word "jinx." The more I look at the word, the weirder it seems.
		It started out as a noun, meaning a charm or hex that brings bad luck or exercises evil influence, though your friend used it as a verb meaning to be cursed or to have bad luck either in general or in a specific endeavor (such as securing a palatable boyfriend).
		One curious thing about "jinx" is that, although belief in such curses and evil influences is thousands of years old, the word "jinx" itself is relatively new, first appearing in 1911.

		Most of the early American citations relate to baseball—for example, The Jinx: Stories of the Diamond by Allen Sangree of 1910 and Christy Mathewson’s Pitching at a Pinch of 1912, in which he says: “A jinx is something which brings bad luck to a ball player”.
