Gale's father, Gregory Leary, was a district attorney in Key City. When Gale was just a baby, his mother, Martha, was murdered and his father was permanently crippled when they were attacked by Bob Evans and Red Brandois, criminals who were being investigated by the Attorney's Office. Evans left a willow twig in the girl's crib as a warning to Greg. Over the years, Gale began to develop strange abilities, which allowed her to avenge the crimes committed against her parents. Gale, using her powers, confronted Brandois, who mistaking her for the vengeful spirit of her mother, suffered a cardiac arrest and died. Gale laid a willow twig at the foot of his corpse as a gesture of poetic justice. Later, Gale befriended a young man named King. Together they discovered that they were brothers, biological children of the hero Black Diamond and the villainess Killer Plant. King became Black Zero and Gale adopted the name Jill O'Wisp. The two joined other descendants and protégés of members of the Crime Busters and formed the Young Heroes Alliance, using their powers to fight for justice. She and her teammate Matthew Price Jr. (aka Brain Boy) established a romantic relationship.
Among other things, Gale had the ability to shine in a strange light, much like the Will O'The Wisp. Her aura protected her from bullets and seemed to give Gale the ability to repel attackers (possibly telekinesis).
