History: (X-Statix#10-fb) - Gin Genie is present with the original new X-Force when Edie Sawyer first meets Zeitgeist.

(X-Force I#116) - Gin Genie participated in the mission in North Africa with X-Force.  Afterwards, she got in an argument with her fellow teammates and was present on the New York mission that ultimately ended in her death.  She was killed when a helicopter fired on the team.

Comments: Created by Peter Milligan and Michael Allred.

For those interested, Gin Genie's original intended codename was going to be the Alcholist, which was seen in some preview sketches from "Wizard"'s website...

I assume that "Gin" is some kind of play on the word "Djinn" (and don't forget the booze of the same name--Kyle).

Clarifications: Gin Genie should not be confused with:

• Genii, Jason Kimball, member of the Young Gods, @ Thor I#202
• Jyn, magical creature @ Sleepwalker Holiday Special#1
• the unnamed genie who is the mother of Clan Destine, @ ClanDestine#5

X-Force, the government funded MUTANT group who went on to become the X-Statix, should be distinguished from:

• X-Force, the group of government MUTATES patterned after the X-Men, @ Cloak and Dagger III#9, 10
• X-Force, the band of mutants formed by Cable from the ashes of the New Mutants, @ New Mutants I#100, X-Force#1
