Jinx, Stafire, and raven getting chased by police in "Girls Night Out"
Jinx is one of the main antagonists of Teen Titans Go!, as she is a member of the H.I.V.E. Five. She made her debut in the episode Girl's Night Out.
Biography
Jinx is one of the Titan's main enemies, who is frequently leading her teammates to attacks on Jump City. In Girl's Night Out, Starfire decides to break Jinx out of her prison cell, planning to use Jinx's criminal side to make the night more "Craaazy"; however she warns her that if she made one wrong move, she is to obliterate her. Jinx eventually gets Starfire and Raven to commit crimes including destruction of property, resisting arrest, prison breakout and theft.
Jinx returns in Super Robin, leading the H.I.V.E. Five on their first attack in the series, robbing a bank. The first serious battle between the Titans and the H.I.V.E. in the series takes place, and the Titans defeat the H.I.V.E.
The H.I.V.E. Five return to rob the same bank again in Artful Dodgers, and even hold civilians hostage with a bomb to prevent the Titans from beating them. Gizmo even created an invisibility cloak so they could get away. Despite all of the precautions, the Titans were able to locate the villains and deactivate the bomb.
Within twenty-four hours, the H.I.V.E. escape prison, in order to join the upcoming dodgeball competition. Their unbeatable team, the H.I.V.E. Fivers, easily defeats the Team Titans. Later that day, the H.I.V.E. attempt to rob the same bank again, without any precaution. The Titans arrive and challenge them to a dodgeball rematch, which the H.I.V.E. win with ease, allowing them to escape with the money.
Later on, the Fivers make it to the final championship dodgeball round, where they once again face the Titans. The Titans resort to cheating and attack the H.I.V.E. Outraged, the H.I.V.E. angrily retaliate and defeat the Titans again. During their victory celebration, the police arrive and arrest the H.I.V.E., forfeiting their trophy to the Titans.
In Opposites, the H.I.V.E. rob a bank, and engages in a serious battle with the Titans. When Jinx faces Cyborg, Cyborg is unable to hurt her due to his crush on her, and awkwardly hugs her. Soon, Jinx manages to escape the battle, and the other members of the H.I.V.E. also escape later on. Later, Jinx notices Cyborg spying on her in a cafe, and attacks him. When Cyborg starts to show affection to her, she is at first weirded out, but eventually falls in love with him. The two begin a secret romance behind the backs of the other Titans and the other H.I.V.E. members.
In Operation Tin Man, Jinx sits by Cyborg and Mammoth while Gizmo is telling the Titans he is keeping Cyborg hostage. When Cyborg and Gizmo argue about one of them leaving, Jinx blasts them both. She asks why they both can't be friends and walks away saying she doesn't want to catch them fighting again, and still do as she walks away. When Cyborg pulls a prank on Gizmo, she displeased. When Gizmo pranks Cyborg, he makes Jinx run away crying when he makes Cyborg (controlled by a device) say he wants to break up with him. Later, mad, she sends Gizmo and Cyborg to Gizmo's room. After they come back out, Jinx is glad that they're together, but gets attacked by the Teen Titans at the last minute, and they shoot the H.I.V.E. into the water.
