Sensor (Jeka Wynzorr) is a superhero appearing in media published by DC Comics, primarily as a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes.

She is a snake-like alien who was later altered by "Hypertaxis energy" into a semi-humanoid shape, retaining her serpent tail but gaining a humanoid upper body.

Fictional character biography

[edit]

Jeka Wynzorr is a snake-like alien and the princess of the planet Orando who renounces her position to travel the galaxy, using her illusion-casting powers to disguise herself as a human.[1] Eventually, she joins the Legion of Super-Heroes as Sensor and obtains cybernetic arms, which she is rarely seen without.

While battling the Terrorforms on Xanthu, Sensor is exposed to Hypertaxis energy and mutates uncontrollably until Ra's al Ghul stabilizes her into a nāga-like form.[2] Afterward, she hides on Legion World out of shame before returning to the Legion to battle Universo, whose mind-control powers she is immune to. In 2004, the Legion's continuity is rebooted, erasing Sensor from existence and replacing her with a new version of Projectra.

In Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds, an alternate universe variant of Sensor in her original form is among the Legionnaires summoned to help fight the Time Trapper.[3]

Sensor appears in Adventures in the DC Universe #10.[4]
