Different scenes. Here's the one from the relevant time period. Whether or not she's "Jones" yet in the current page is an interesting question.

Same time period though, since she was working in a Filling Factory, which were used by the UK during both World Wars.

Seems like the kind of job an invulnerable person wouldn't mind doing. I missed the link last time through - I guess I figured she was making pies.

I've plainly been reading too much Skin Horse.  My first thought was "man-portable fusion pies?"

Poor Mort.

Then again it will be first time a fictional dies because a zeppelin fell on them.

I wonder why Jones isn't worshiped by people as some War God by this point. I mean, she seem to not give a damn about staying low profile, and also at the Dawn of Man she wrestled a dinosaur

Dinosaur? Wasn't it some huge bull actually?

EDIT: Yup, giant bull.

Jones used to be a dick.

"Sorry kid, you're dead. kthxbai."

Also, was she trying to explode herself in order to attempt to kill herself or to test the strength of the bombs?

I think it's safe to say she probably wrestled a few dinosaurs too in her days.

Who's to say she isn't?

What in the world led you to that conclusion? It's a bomb/ammunition factory. They're both prone to accidents and enemy bombardment.

I think it's just a bomb.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

She's obviously working for the MI6, getting the German's weapon specs by exploding them on her.

I imagine she's just curious to see the destructive power mankind can now throw around. It's not like she is in any danger from getting hurt herself.

She might have been revered in the stone age actually.  Being able to stop a 1-2 ton slab of tasty meat in its tracks when it is charging?  That has to count for something.

She is too apathetic to care about or seek attention from the looks of it.  But, it wouldn't be too farfetched for some ancient peoples to have gathered around her of their own accord and worship her.  (Then they later get wiped out for some reason or another...)
Though, one wonders if humans have tried to keep her chained/jailed indefinitely... for witchcraft and sorcery... or whatever other reason...
