History:
(Squadron Supreme I#12 (fb) - BTS) - When the Squadron Supreme built their massive Squadron City headquarters, which housed over a 1000 people, Mrs. Brennan was hired to serve as midwife. She worked in the maternity ward, on the third floor of the Squadron City Medical Complex.

(Squadron Supreme I#8 - BTS) - Following longtime Squadron Supreme member Arcanna Jones' announcement she was expecting her fourth child, the newly reformed physician Anton Decibel (formerly the super-villain Dr. Decibel) was assigned to examine her. Decibel insisted to be Arcana's primary caregiver during her pregnancy, which Jones considered totally unnecessary seeing as she was an old hand at being pregnant after having mothered three children already.

(Squadron Supreme I#10 - BTS) - When Decibel died during an incident with Quagmire, monitoring Arcanna's pregnancy became the responsibility of Mrs. Brennan.

(Squadron Supreme I#12) - Right before heading to Washington for the one year anniversary celebration of the Squadron Supreme taking control of the United States of America, the heavily pregnant Arcanna went to see Brennan for a checkup. While Arcanna's children Andrew, Drusilla and Katrina were causing havoc in the waiting room, Jones and her husband Philip waited for Brennan to finish her examination. The midwife concluded Arcanna was now two centimeters dilated and 50 percent effaced, meaning she could go into labor anywhere between now and a week. Happy to hear the good news, Arcanna asked Brennan if it'd be alright if she attended the ceremony in the capital. Somewhat concerned, Brennan left that up to Jones, even though she certainly wouldn't recommend it.

(Squadron Supreme I#12 - BTS) - Arcanna decided to go to Washington D.C. anyway. After she and the Squadron Supreme returned home, they were attacked by Nighthawk and his Redeemers who had come to Squadron City to end the team's control over the country. The stress of the sudden confrontation caused Arcanna to go into labor, even as she was being chased by Moonglow. Outwitting and knocking out her opponent, Jones got her teammate Shape (Raleigh Lund) to take her to the hospital. While the fighting between the Squadron and the Redeemers continued, Mrs. Brennan took care of Arcanna and assisted her in the birthing process.

(Squadron Supreme I#12) - Shortly after the bloody confrontation between the Squadron and the Redeemers had ended in Hyperion's surrender, Arcanna gave birth with Philip at her side and Shape, Andrew, Drusilla and Katrina looking on in amazement as Brennan delivered Benjamin Thomas Jones, "inheritor of the future".
