Jane Foster

"“I have no idea! That’s the amazing thing about science, Xavier. For every mystery you encounter, there’s the promise of answers.” (Now You're Thinking With)"placeholder

Jane Foster is a world-leading astrophysicist and consultant for SHIELD. She was the first person to find Xavier Bronze's SI upon her arrival, and later the two would enter into a romance.

History
Jane's early years were mostly spent with her father, Hank Jones. She was immersed in the world of academia, and met many great minds in several fields. While she showed early promise in practically all of them, the one she chose to pursue was physics.

She became a student under her father and Erik Selvig, among others, at Culver University. She graduated and became an astronomer. But her career proved unable to satisfy her curiosity, which ultimately led to her being dismissed as a fringe-science crackpot by many.

In 2011, while investigating atmospheric disturbances with her long-time advocate Erik Selvig, Jane witnessed a spontaneous Einstein-Rosen bridge form over the New Mexico desert. And a living human being emerged, who introduced herself as Xavier Bronze.

SHIELD arrived on the scene soon after, and confiscated most of Jane's research and equipment, and abducted Xavier. Jane tried to recreate the bridge that she had witnessed to rescue Xavier, but couldn't control the other end of the gateway, and transported a beagle named Marchioly instead. SHIELD tried to recruit her, but she continued to resist them, until she was allowed to reunite with Xavier in July.

She did join with SHIELD after that, and worked under them as a consultant to finish her research into wormholes. She visited Xavier at a safehouse, and after a long night of drinking the two kissed. But Xavier stopped things from progressing any further, pointing out how little they actually knew each other.

Several months later, Xavier visited her at her research lab, and watched a test of Jane's new prototype teleportation booth. The test failed. But the data acquired only encouraged her to keep moving forward. She invited Xavier to join her and her father for Thanksgiving, where her father intervened and forced the two to confront the nature of their relationship.
