Nothing But the Truth
Once an Avenger...
Powers: Firestar can generate microwave energy in the form of fire
and heat. Her powers have a tremedous range, from very subtle to very destructive. Her
powers come from the fact that she is a mutant. Her powers were hurting her in the
beginning, but now a days, she can use them without fear.
Origin: A young girl, Angel's powers just started to develop when
Emma Frost approached Angel's father about joining the Massachusett's Academy, a
prestigous school on the east coast. Angel's heart was broken by the death of her
grandmother, and eventually, Angel's father thought it would be best if Angel went to the
school. There, Angel became Firestar, one of the Hellions, a group of teenage mutants
taught by Emma Frost, secretly the White Queen, who would one day join the Hellfire Club's
Inner Circle.
History: Firestar's time with the Hellions was short, but it
changed her life forever. After she faced the noble X-Men alongside her other Hellions,
Firestar decided that the evil ways of the Hellions were not her own. She left the group,
hoping to live a normal life with her father. However, her part caught up with her all too
soon.
Night Trasher was creating a group of young super-heroes and hacking into the Academy's
computer, he learned of Firestar. Along with his new found teammates, they tricked
Firestar into joining them by threatening to tell her father. She joined the group, and
soon, despite the brutal way she forced to join, she soon loved to be called a New
Warrior.
It was one New Warrior in particular that made the transition rather simple for the shy
Firestar. The lad called Marvel Boy had quickly stolen Firestar's heart, even before she
ever saw his true face or heard his true name. The two soon became inseperable.
But hard times were ahead. Marvel Boy was also a mutant, and his step-father often beat
him up because of it. Once, Marvel Boy's anger got the best of him and he accidently
killed his step-father. Firestar was summoned as a character witness, and her father was
there, for he uncovered the truth that his daughter was in fact the super-heroine
Firestar. Her father was not angry, but in his one way, he was proud of her.
But Marvel Boy's fate was not a happy one. While not charged of murder, he was put in jail
for negligent homicide. The Warriors tried to save him, but Marvel Boy refused, saying he
was not above justice. Firestar remained alongside the Warriors, even though her heart was
with Marvel Boy.
Firestar's powers contiued to develop, and Firestar faced off with her past when the New
Warriors fought with the Hellions. Months later, the Hellions were killed in a horrific
battle with Trevor Fitzroy. Firestar and Warpath, now a member of X-Force, traveled to
Nova Roma, to tell Empath and Magma of the news of their teammates's deaths. Firestar was
deeply saddened by the death's of her friends.
Soon, Marvel Boy was let out of jail for good behaviour, and taking the name Justice, he
quickly re-joined the New Warriors, playing the evil Shinobi Shaw for a fool. The New
Warriors, X-Force, and others soon were caught in what became known as Child's Play, where
the Upstarts hunted down the former members of the New Mutants and Hellions. Firestar was
targeted, but her teammates rescued her with Justice's help. The two resumed their love
affair, but decided that sex was best left until marriage.
Soon after, Firestar learned that her powers were slowly eating away her chance to have
children. Firestar and Justice decided that someday soon, they wanted to have a family,
before it was too late. They were engaged.
The New Warriors drifted apart, but Firestar and Justice stayed together. Soon, Justice
got the chance of a lifetime. Alongside their teammate Rage, the two journeyed to Avengers
Mansion, and fought with them to stop Morgan LeFay. After the attack, the two were out
defeating Whirlwind, while the Avengers's founders were deciding on a new team line-up.
Justice desperately wanted to be a part of the team.
Hawkeye was watching as they defeated Whirlwind, and when the trio arrived back at the
mansion, Hawkeye declared that they should both be Avengers. However, Hawkeye's spot was
the only one left open. Captain America himself then offered Justice and Firestar the
chance to be reserve Avengers.
They both leapt at the chance, and their lives were happy. Dr. Henry Pym even managed to
help Firestar cure her problem with her powers. The couple moved into the Avengers
Mansion, and stayed for several months. However, after Justice broke his leg, the two
decided to take a break when the chance arose. Currently, they are working as inside
agents for the Avengers in the Triune Understanding, hoping to undercover the cult's
sinsiter plot. |
