Despite possessing superpowers and having, earlier in life, fought crime as the superhero Jewel, Jones primarily works as a private investigator. The character really only gained traction as a member of the New Avengers, where she was an ally to popular Marvel comics (and Cinematic Universe) characters like Captain America.
