The "absolutely, stunningly beautiful" Jade's role in Jerome Preisler's novelization of "Annihilation", based in part on the screenplays by Brent V. Friedman and Bryce Zabel, differs little from her onscreen role as she attempts to seduce Liu Kang (there is no fight between them in this version) and later lures the Earthrealm warriors into a trap, but was additionally revealed to be Kitana's former lover, during which she makes mention of her Edenian heritage. She is still put to death by the enraged Shao Kahn for her failure in ambushing the Earth warriors; Kahn first strangles her and then feeds her to a living stained glass window monster.
