History:
(Ultimate Spider-Man I#95 (fb) - BTS) - At 21 years of age, Jennifer worked in the foreign literature department of the New York
Public Library.
(Ultimate Spider-Man I#95 (fb)) - She was approached by a foreign vampire who mesmerized her and bit her neck in the alley. She later woke disoriented in her apartment and relayed what had happened to Daily Bugle reporter Ben Urich, even though she knew it sounded ridiculous.
(Ultimate Spider-Man I#95) - Ben Urich submitted
Jennifer's story to editor J. Jonah Jameson, who canned it. At the
Daily Bugle, Peter Parker read Urich's piece and believed it.
(Ultimate Spider-Man I#95 - BTS) - Jennifer was later
guided by a senior, more powerful vampire and her transformation into a
fanged vampire was complete.
(Ultimate
Spider-Man I#95) - The next day, Urich returned to Jennifer's Brooklyn apartment to check facts, but she
mesmerized him, taking him inside the dark apartment and, seeking permission from the senior vampire, bit his neck.
Parker, having changed into Spider-Man, investigated Urich's
disappearance and went to Jennifer's place where he saw Morbius in the
midst of a battle between vampire vigilante Morbius and the two other vampires (Jennifer and the
wolf-transformed senior vampire).
(Ultimate Spider-Man I#96) - Morbius attacked the two
vampires with Spider-Man caught in the middle. In the ensuing chaos,
the senior vampire fled but the novice Jennifer was distracted by her
hunger, allowing Morbius to plunge a stake through her chest; her body
incinerated with a flash.
