Overview
- " Our Exobyte data is showing huge results! It could be the key to defeating Brainiac. Lex can't get his hands on it! I won't leave until I've encrypted this database, and I need time - LexCorp keeps trying to hack in!" — Doctor Kahn
- Doctor Jenette Kahn is a scientist who defected LexCorp for S.T.A.R. Labs.
Background
- Doctor Kahn was a widely reputed leading expert on Brainiac's Exobytes at LexCorp. But once Lex Luthor revealed his plans for her research, she decided to defect from the company and join STAR Labs, taking her work with her. She was located at the STAR Labs Research Facility in Little Bohemia, where she was kept under close security by Doctor Sarah Charles orders while continuing to work on her research. Her move didn't go unnoticed by the media - she was contacted by Lois Lane, but refused to issue any statements.
- Kahn's actions had violated LexCorp's confidentially agreement. Luthor stormed in Sarah Charles' office to intimidate her into handing over the data, leaving with a declaration of war. Doctor Sarah Charles and Doctor Jenette Kahn had an exchange in which Kahn says that she believed that Luthor would send Metallo to retrieve the research data. Doctor Charles evacuates all non-essential personnel from the facility to prepare for the fight.
