Queen of Hearts

Though orphaned at a young age, Jackie Neeley had a promising future. Blessed with scholastic ability and startling athleticism, she earned multiple college scholarships. After completing her pre-med studies, she worked every odd job she could find to save for med school. Jackie discovered amateur wrestling while working as a bouncer. Though her “Queen of Hearts” character was supposed to be a monster heel, Jackie’s good nature and humor soon won over fans, and the Queen became a boisterous ring anti-hero with a heart of gold.
She likely would have enjoyed a short career as a colorful local celebrity save for the intervention of the White Rabbit and his Looking Glass Gang. Jackie intervened when the Looking Glass Gang staged a robbery at a show...and then everything just changed. Her next lucid moment came when she awoke lying facedown in a public park with the police and assembled heroes standing over her. The Queen of Hearts had been aiding the LGG for months, having fallen prey to the White Rabbit’s reality-warping powers. Fortunately, a solid beating had restored Jackie’s memories and personality before the changes became permanent; she would regain her faculties with time and psychiatric treatment.
Jackie’s mind-controlled state earned her a sentence at Providence Asylum, where doctors could help her recover from her trauma. But Jackie never entirely recovered—the Queen of Hearts was out of the ring and on the streets, still taking over her life from time to time! She did smash-and-grab robberies of jewelry stores, crashed fashion shows, and coerced terrified clerks into giving collectors’ editions of classic books away to children. After several crime sprees and a brief return to the Looking Glass Gang, Providence took a new approach to her therapy. They worked to bring out the personality and ethics of Jackie even when the madcap Queen took control, tempering her chaos with her lost sense of responsibility and fair play. The experiment has certainly helped the former criminal atone, but also seems to be further submerging what remains of Jackie into her own creation’s subconscious.

Physical Description

Specialized Equipment

Jackie Neeley’s agility and strength were raised to peak human by White Rabbit’s reality-altering powers, and her combat skills have been super-charged either by those same powers or by months of combat against superheroes. Her signature prop—a sturdy ball-and-chain— becomes a highly versatile weapon in the Queen’s hands. But even unarmed, her prowess and melee skills make Queen of Hearts formidable. She responds to the “cheers of the fans” by shrugging off harm and fatigue, and can accomplish exceptional feats when spurred on.
