Sally Jupiter is Laurie’s mother and one of the Minutemen. Sally grooms Laurie to succeed her as a costumed hero from a young age, and Laurie resents her for it as an adult. From the start, Sally uses the exposure she receives as a hero to make money through her modeling career, which makes her into a national sex symbol. She marries her publicist, Laurence Schexnayder, and the two have an unhappy marriage for several years before divorcing. Although Edward Blake once tries to rape her, Sally eventually falls in love with Blake, especially as she grows older. Blake is Laurie’s father, but Sally conceals this fact from everyone, including her own daughter. When Laurie forgives Sally for everything and tells her that it’s okay that Blake is her real father, Sally kisses Blake’s picture and cries, revealing that she still loves him.
