In a very imaginable future, the world battles terrorism and unrest. Out of this chaos emerges a new hero: Jane Vasco, a.k.a. Painkiller Jane (Kristanna Loken).
Once the DEA's top agent, Jane Vasco is formidable, both mentally and physically. As a child, her father nicknamed her Painkiller Jane, describing her ability to mentally push through even the most painful situations. But her strength is about to be tested.
Jane is recruited by a covert government agency dedicated to containing and, if necessary, neutralizing the threat of "Neuros" — individuals with superhuman neurological powers. No one knows what caused the aberrations that led to their enhanced abilities, which range from from telekinesis and telepathic suggestion to induced hallucinations.
During her first investigation with her new team, Jane discovers that she too possesses an odd ability: she can't be killed. Unfortunately, she can still feel pain. Her newfound powers make Jane even more determined to learn everything there is to know about Neuros.
Seldom malicious, Neuros often can't control their powers. Consequently, they tend to leave a trail of death and destruction. To prevent a panic, the government has kept the discovery of Neuros a secret, assembling a covert unit to identify and contain Neuros.
In the first episode, everything mentioned previously is explained, and it is learned that Jane can't die after she meets an innocent victim possessed by a mind-controlling Neuro, and consequently is pushed out the window of a 40-story building, along with the victim, who "wakes up" just in time to meet his death. Jane wakes up in the morgue, and while in excruciating pain, makes her way back to headquarters, where it is discovered that she doesn't even have a scratch, due to her odd self-healing powers. She can also eject bullets from her body, and more. One Neuro in a later episode resurrects a bunch of army men who're on the same side many times over after he makes them kill each other, and they keep killing each other. Another Neuro steals youth from young women.
I like this show, though I haven't seen much of it due to the fact that other people like to watch tv as well. Dang them.

Wow. That was an eye full. Maybe I shall watch it, or maybe not. It depends if I remember. Ha.
ya i dont know if i will watch it or not
Isn't that the Kristianna Loken that starred on Terminator 3? Sci-Fi has some strange shows, but they are an interesting type of strange. Some Sci-Fi films are actually really good.
I like that they called it Painkiller Jane. That's cool!
I can't believe that they made a show out of this, It's not that good either
I like her but my mom doesn't so i probably won't get to watch it.
