She is a recurring guest character in the "Mortal Kombat" series published by Malibu Comics, first in the 1995 miniseries "Battlewave", in which she is simply an evil assassin serving Shao Kahn and had no connection to Kitana, instead being paired regularly with fellow "Mortal Kombat II" hidden character Smoke. She is identical to Kitana only in that she is brunette with light skin and employed a pair of steel fans, while her green palette was unchanged; her eyes are variably drawn with and without lens. Jade and Smoke unsuccessfully attempt to assassinate Jax in a hospital and Johnny Cage aboard a plane headed to Outworld, and also Liu Kang in Outworld. In the finale of the 1995 three-issue miniseries "Rayden and Kano", she and Smoke try to redeem themselves by killing Raiden, but again fail.
