Painkiller Jane, a Sci Fi Channel Original Series, is based on the Event Comics series created by Jimmy Palmiotti and Joe Quesada, will premiere Friday, April 13th at 10/9C.

The series follows the story of Jane Vasko (played by Kristanna Loken), a DEA agent recruited by a covert government organization tasked with capturing Neuros - genetically enhanced individuals who possess superhuman powers.  Unable to control their own abilities, these dangerous individuals often leave a trail of death and destruction in their wake. To prevent widespread panic, the government has kept the discovery of Neuros a secret from the general public, instead charging their covert organization to identify and contain them.

During her first mission with the team, Jane inexplicably discovers that she too possesses an extraordinary ability - she cannot be killed. Impervious to injury but not pain, her miraculous regenerative powers allow her heal from any injury only to become even stronger than she had been before. As she continues to work with the government, Jane tries to uncover the cause of her transformation and what - if any - connection she shares with the very people she is pursuing. 

Premieres Friday April 13th at 10/9C on Sci Fi Channel.
