History:
(Realm of Kings: Son of Hulk#1 (fb) - BTS) - Jentorra was the niece of Queen Jarella.
(Realm of Kings: Son of Hulk#3 (fb) - BTS) - At some point she became the apprentice of the Sorcerer Triad.
(Realm of Kings: Son of Hulk#1 (fb) - BTS) - During an invasion of the Psyklop race on K'ai the Sorcerer Triad decided that they needed the help of the Hulk and planned to summon him to their world. They died before completing the spell, but their student Jentorra finished it.
(Realm of Kings: Son of Hulk#1) - Lying in front of a Hulk statue with the dead Sorcerer Triad around her, Jentorra was furious not only because the spell they had taught her had apparently failed, but also because they thought the Hulk, whom she considered a monster because he was responsible for the death of her aunt, was needed to save them. Jentorra soon found herself surrounded by the Psyklop. She tried to talk herself out of a sure death, but the Psyklop actually wanted to feed her soul to the Dark Gods. Moments later her spell finally showed effect as Hiro-Kala appeared inside the Hulk statue and burst out of it. Hiro-Kala quickly destroyed the Psyklop surrounding him while Jentorra scurried away in fear.
(Realm of Kings: Son of Hulk#2) - Jentorra was hiding in the crowd while Hiro-Kala resurrected the people whose souls the Psyklop had stolen and revealed that he was the son of the Hulk. Jentorra slowly pushed her way through the crowd while the crowd erupted and pled Hiro-Kala to lead them. Hiro-Kala made the newly resurrected his instruments in his fight to destroy the Old Power throughout the Microverse and sought to find whoever was to blame for bringing him to K'ai. Jentorra fled the scene.
(Realm of Kings: Son of Hulk#3) - Hiding under a cloak Jentorra followed Hiro-Kala, Lihla and the resurrected K'aitians around K'ai City and watched him leave a museum where he gave Lihla the Enigma Force Nullifier as a necklace (because he was not aware of what it was). She was sure that her people would behead her if they ever found out that she was responsible for bringing Hiro-Kala to K'ai and planned to fix her mess by starting to go after Lihla and take the Enigma Force Nullifier from her. She was present when Hiro-Kala summoned a fleet of hidden spaceships from the underground of K'ai. As soon as Lihla left the protective bubble Hiro-Kala had erected around her and himself to protect them from falling debris, Jentorra took the opportunity to attack her and the Enigma Force Nullifier from her. She tried to use the item to kill Hiro-Kala, but it didn't work and she got blasted with a beam of his corrupted Power Cosmic beam by him. Hiro-Kala took the Enigma Force Nullifier from Jentorra and crushed it.
(Realm of Kings: Son of Hulk#4) - Jentorra listened to Hiro-Kala ranting about the energy released by the Enigma Force Nullifier that was searching for someone that could rival his powers and was glad when it was the legendary hero Arcturus Rann that was teleported in by the energy to fight Hiro-Kala. Arcturus activated the Enigma Force Nullifier to change the Microverse and beat Hiro-Kala, but Jentorra saw an opportunity to make amends for her actions by trying to reverse the teleportation spell that brought Hiro-Kala to K'ai. Arcturus tried to stop her, but it was already too late. Hiro-Kala finally realized that it was Jentorra that had brought him to K'ai and was filled with rage. Arcturus needed Hiro-Kala to stay in the Microverse so that the Nullifier Wave could defeat him, but Hiro-Kala managed to hijack Jentorra's teleportation spell to cover the whole planet by combining it with his new poers to escape the Nullifier Wave and tow the planet into the Fault with K'ai's fleet of ancient ships. Arcturus tried to save Jentorra, but his ship was unable to expand the shield to pick her up. Jentorra and a Psyklop were left floating in space on a fragment ripped from the planet K'ai.
(Incredible Hulks: Enigma Force#1) - The asteroid with Jentorra and the Psyklop were discovered and taken aboard the HMS Endeavor III by the Enigma Force. The Psyklop was extremely hostile and Jentorra attempted to help the Enigma Force with her magic against it, but she failed. The Psyklop infiltrated Jentorra and the Enigma Force with its hive-psyche and showed them their darkest secrets. Jentorra still felt guilty for bringing Hiro-Kala to K'ai. After the Psyklop was finally overpowered with the help of new arrival Bug Jentorra thanked Arcturus with a big hug. Mari considered her a liability.
Jentorra was putting on her new uniform when Arcturus Rann asked her to report in. He told her that the mission on K'ai would be on-the-job training for her and that he would test her abilities further later. Afterward she asked the ship's computer about Arcturus' relationship status and pulled her top's zipper down a bit further when she learned that he and Mari were divorced. She later reported for duty after the HMS Endeavor III went through the Fault and lost all power due to a wall built between the universes that blocked the Enigma Force. Arcturus informed his crew that they would use the Psyklop to power their ship.
(Incredible Hulks: Enigma Force#2) - Jentorra got into a fight with Mari after the latter destroyed the HMS Endeavor III's bio-ship navigation because she was against using the Psyklop as power source for the ship because she feared it would take over the ship. She also still believed Jentorra was not supposed to be with them, so Jentorra attacked her with magic. Their fight ended prematurely when they were both blinded as the Death's Head 3.0 connected and reactivated the bio-ship navigation system. They watched as the ship headed to K'ai because the Psyklop traced the location of the fallen Psyklop on K'ai.
Bug later asked Jentorra and Mari to make-up, but they remained hostile to each other. Jentorra's knowledge of K'ai proved helpful when she could tell Arcturus that Hiro-Kala and his troops were moving toward the Isle of Assassins where all of K'ai's lost knowledge and technologies were kept. Arcturus crashed the HMS Endeavor III onto the Isle of Assassins after his team jumped off. Jentorra could finally use her magic as part of the team against Hiro-Kala's army, but the ground beneath Jentorra and Arcturus caved in and they landed in the island's ancient telepathy archive. Jentorra took the opportunity to kiss Arcturus, who wanted to tell her the truth about his past on K'ai.
(Incredible Hulks: Enigma Force#3) - Jentorra was shocked to learn that Arcturus had actually destroyed her ancestors and people's culture a thousand years ago because he didn't believe that K'ai was not in possession of a weapon of mass destruction they planned to use against Homeworld. She ran away, but found the weapon Arcturus was scared of a thousand years ago. She showed it to him to give him the evidence he never got back then. It didn't make him feel any better because he was going to activate the weapon to destroy the planet and Hiro-Kala with it. Jentorra was appalled, but Hiro-Kala and the rest of the Enigma Force dropped down into the archives. Arcturus was ready to activate the doomsday weapon and Jentorra slapped him for his crimes against her ancestors and the people he was going to kill that day. In the end Arcturus shut the weapon down because he was sure there was another way to stop Hiro-Kala. The Enigma Force were buried in the archives when Hiro-Kala left to fight the real Hulk, who had arrived on K'ai. Jentorra used her magic to create light while the others tried to dig a way out. In the end the Hulk helped them to get out and told them to return to the Microverse. Jentorra teleported Bug back to Knowhere where he could rejoin the Guardians of the Galaxy. The rest of the Enigma Force stayed on K'ai to help them rebuild.
Comments: Created by Scott Reed, Miguel Munera & Terry Pallot.
A character with her name was seen in 2023's Marvel movie Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
Throughout the Incredible Hulk: Enigma Force series the planet K'ai moved through the universe and ever closer to Earth, which was the point when Hulk entered the fight against Hiro-Kala. This was never made clear in the mini-series at all. At the end of the series it was still trapped in the regular universe, but it is possible that the planet was returned to the Microverse since then.
