History: Maxine was the granddaughter of the original Red Tornado, an honorary JSofA member, and she grew up idolizing the 1940s mysterymen. As a youth she was kidnapped by T.O. Morrow, who injected her with his android Red Tornado nanobots, but there was no immediate effect. As an ace student at Harvard she discovered her new nano-based powers that let her control winds. When the new JSA went on a member drive, she was recruited as a legacy, and took the name Cyclone.

(Tales of the Sinestro Corps: Superman-Prime #1) - An army of Earth s heroes, including Cyclone and  the Justice Society appeared to take Superboy down during the Sinestro Corps invasion of Earth. The heroes focused on wrecking his armor, because after a year on Oa, and away from a yellow sun his Kryptonian body still wasn t at full strength, and his armor collected sunlight. Superboy bragged that once the sun rose on Earth he d be at full power. Superboy was battered by Wonder Girl and Wonder Woman, who blamed him for Superboy s death, as well as Supergirl and Power Girl, who blamed him for the death of the Superman of Earth-2. As the fight went against him, Superboy broke down in tears. He tried to wipe them away, saying that it was impossible for boys to cry, and then whining that no one ever thanked him for sacrificing his Earth to save the multiverse. The battle lasted until dawn, and he flew into the sunrise. As he achieved full power he declared himself the one, true Superman. The Guardians arrived with Sodam Yat, the new Ion, and pitted him against Superboy-Prime.

(Titans II #38) - Cyclone, the Justice Society and the rest of the superhero community attended the funeral of Atom Ryan Choi.
