Sensing Sara Cruz’s concerns about her sister who had become a severe recluse and agoraphobe after a traumatic event, Volthoom reached out to Sara’s mind and subtly manipulated her into taking a hike to clear her mind. The journey had left it weak and Volthoom needed a host whose mind was so shaken that it could be easily taken over. It had taken the ring nearly eight years to reach our solar system and find its way to Earth where it landed in the middle of a canyon and would remain for several months. But after centuries of aimless drifting and despite having gathered space minerals around the ring, Volthoom’s consciousness awoke in 2005 when it sensed a great psychic disturbance among his people. As a result, the ring was cast into space and forgotten. This act was considered to be unspeakable by both the Lantern Corps and Volthoom’s own people.

With his long lifespan and natural telepathic ability, Volthoom’s mastery of the ring had grown so great that when he was nearing the end of his life he chose to remove certain safeguards on his ring and merged his own lifeforce with the ring. Volthoom was actually the first Green Lantern of Sector 2814. Okay, the story of the “Power Ring” is a story about a Martian named Volthoom. A search party found her two days later, completely catatonic and covered in mud and blood. Jessica kept running until she simply couldn’t.

She was not alone at first, but one by one her peers dropped to the ground and fell behind. Someone screamed and when the gunfire broke out, Jessica just ran. While training a new batch of counselors, Jessica took the frisky teens on a hike to show them the route and while doing so, the group came upon the Aryan Brigade disposing of the bodies of two police officers.

By twenty-one, she was assistant manager and she really did not see much changing about her life. Jessica repeated this pattern for much longer than she cared to admit. Jessica worked the other eight months of the year as a waitress at a folksy diner and a part-time clerk at a video shop (remember those?). Still, Jessica was convinced to come back the next year by the camp’s manager who valued Jessica’s responsibility and love of nature. On a whim, Jessica decided to become a counselor at a kid’s summer camp.Īside from the long nature hikes, Jessica found the experience exhausting as all the other counselors were nothing but slackers in heat, more interested in hooking up with each other than enjoying nature or mentoring the children at the camp. College seemed like a waste of money to Jessica and her grades were not impressive enough to merit a scholarship. There was nothing she felt she excelled at or was particularly interested in. While Sara was a sporty wild child, Jessica was more pensive and responsible but neither sister minded their differences, instead embracing them and playing to each other’s strengths in a very supportive manner.Īfter graduation, Jessica was uncertain of what she wanted to do with her life. Jessica Cruz was born into the family of Javier Cruz and Siobhan O’Reilly-Cruz, the oldest of two daughters, Jessica’s family was well off thanks to her father’s job as an architect and both Jessica and her younger sister Sara lived a comfortable life throughout their childhood.
