History
Jean Loring began her career as a lwayer about the same time the Atom began fighting crime. She did not know her fiance, Ray Palmer, was really the Atom for many years. Eventually she learned he was the Atom and married him but this marriage did not work and they divorced so the Atom could go live in the jungle with six-inch people. After this she remarried to Paul Hoben.

Recently Jean suffered a mental breakdown and was desperate to get back together with Ray Palmer. She shrunk herself using one of Palmer's old costumes and tried to give Sue Dibny a minor stroke. She hoped that the incident would cause the heroes to become closer to their loved ones and in the process drive Palmer back to her. Unfortunately, Jean killed Sue. She incinerated her body to cover it up, starting a disastrous chain of events.

She then faked an attempt on her life, and set up Captain Boomerang_(Digger Harkness) to take the fall. Boomerang was sent to attack Timothy Drake's father while an anonymous tip alerted Drake. However, both men died.

Palmer did return to his ex-wife but Jean revealed information about the murders in passing, leaving her exposed as the killer.

Incarcerated in Arkham Asylum, Jean was abused by other prisoners. She found a black diamond in her cell one day and became the new host for Eclipso. As Eclipso, she convinced the Spectre to massacre magical beings. During a battle with other magic users, Jean was sent orbiting around the sun.
