Origin[]
Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends[]
Firestar’s original costume
Angelica Jones was a young girl struggling with her mutant powers. Her microwave abilities caused things to burn or melt, causing kids at her school to call her a jinx. As a teenager, a bully framed her for the theft of a valuable trophy. Angelica, who had now become very proficient in the use of her powers, created a costume and became Firestar to force the bully to admit that she stole the trophy and not Angelica. Afterwards Firestar was approached by Iceman and offered a membership with the X-Men.
Earth-616[]
Angelica Jones was a young mutant who was manipulated into joining the Hellions by the White Queen and given the costume and codename of Firestar. When she learned that White Queen intended to turn her into a killer, Firestar rebelled and destroyed the Hellions’ training facility before fleeing. She then became a founding member of the New Warriors.
Powers[]
Firestar is able to constantly absorb microwave radiation from her environment, even from the sun and stars. She can use that absorbed energy to fire blasts of intense heat, surround herself with an aura of fire by igniting the oxygen in the air around her, disrupt electromagnetic fields and electronic devices, and fly.
