Development and publication history

Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends

Fire-Star as she appeared in Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends

Firestar – spelled as Fire-Star – was created for the

animated series Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends,[6] with Kathy Garver
providing her voice. This version of the character has the ability to control heat in all its forms, as stated in the 1981 Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends one-shot comic.

The creators had wanted to use the Human Torch, but the rights to the character were tied up.[7] Firestar's pre-production names included Heatwave, Starblaze, and Firefly. Dennis Marks, one of the original writers of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, stated in a 2002 interview that he had come up with the name of Fire-Star's alias, Angelica Jones, taken from one of his old girlfriends.[3]

In the series, Fire-Star is identified as a former member of the

Iceman, with whom she occasionally appears to have a flirtatious relationship, and with whom she is sometimes seen on dates. At times, she dates Peter Parker (Spider-Man) as well, resulting in a relaxed love triangle of sorts.[8] Fire-Star also has a one-episode romance with Sunfire.[episode needed
]

Her origin is explained in "A Fire-Star is Born."[9] Young Angelica Jones was subject to constant bullying by a schoolmate named Bonnie, who calls her "Miss Angelica Jinx" on account of mysterious events that occur in Angelica's presence, which unbeknownst to Bonnie and others around Angelica, are triggered by her newly emerging powers, of which Angelica is gradually becoming aware. As Angelica becomes fully aware that she is a mutant with superhuman abilities, she saves her father at one point during an accident while disguised.[episode needed]

Early in her senior year of high school, Bonnie and her boyfriend framed Angelica for the theft of a school trophy, causing Dean Wilmer to temporarily suspend Angelica from school. A strong need to correct this situation leads Angelica to become Fire-Star for the first time. She finds proof of Bonnie's deception, retrieved the missing trophy, and compels Bonnie to confess, which justifies her expulsion from school. She is later approached by Cyclops, Angel, and Iceman to join the X-Men. She accepted and was seen helping them against Magneto and the Sentinels.[episode needed]

The animated series and the one-shot Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends comic book[10] (which adapted an episode for print) are not considered part of standard Marvel Universe continuity. However, the 2006 one-shot comic Spider-Man Family: Amazing Friends (August 2006) features an in-continuity story, "Opposites Attack!", in which the three superheroes work as a short-lived team. This story takes place shortly after the up-and-coming hero Firestar becomes a founding member of the New Warriors.

Firestar mini-series

Main article: Firestar (limited series)

Firestar's first in-continuity comic book appearance was in Uncanny X-Men #193 (May 1985).[11] She next appeared in her own mini-series, which presented her definitive, in-continuity origin.[12] The Firestar four issue mini-series depicts events both before and after Firestar's appearance in Uncanny X-Men #193, showing her development from a shy, insecure girl afraid of her developing powers to a confident young woman capable of easily defeating Emma Frost.

The mini-series also established that Firestar's powers were microwave-based, rather than the more common fire-generation power that her animated counterpart displayed; the comic-book Firestar essentially harnesses ambient microwave radiation from her environment, making her powers far stronger in an environment such as space, where the concentration of microwaves is much greater than within a planetary atmosphere.

Established character

Despite the mini-series' efforts to flesh out the character, Firestar was not featured in any stories for a few years (aside from a five-part serial in the Marvel Comics Presents anthology series; issues #82–87) and seemed destined to fade into obscurity until she joined the New Warriors. She would go on to appear as a regular character in Avengers, and the informal all-female team "Marvel Divas".

After the special Firestar one-shot issue (April 2010), Firestar returned to full-time superheroics as a character in the short-lived comic series Young Allies.[13][14] Firestar appears as a main character in the I Am an Avenger comic book mini-series.

Firestar was one of the feature characters in the 2011 six-issue limited series Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt.

At the 2013

San Diego Comic Con, Firestar was announced "to take her place as a major X-Men character for the first time" starring in the new comic book Amazing X-Men in November 2013.[15][16]

Fictional character biography

Hellions

A lonely girl raised by her single father Bartholomew and paternal grandmother, Angelica Jones discovered that she possessed

Cannonball.[18]

Firestar was later emotionally manipulated by

brother's death. Angelica felt terrible guilt over the incident once she was free of Empath's power, however. Professor Xavier offered her a place at the Xavier School, but although she declined out of loyalty to the White Queen, she was touched and pleased by the offer.[19]

While a student of the Massachusetts Academy, Angelica had Hellfire mercenary Randall Chase assigned to her as a bodyguard. Growing close to Angelica, Randall eventually began to suspect the White Queen's true motives and was to be terminated. He escaped, mortally wounded, and managed to warn Angelica of Frost's duplicity just before he died. In retaliation, Jones attacked and defeated the White Queen, and decimated the hidden training complex beneath Frost's Massachusetts Academy. Afterwards, she returned to living with her father (as she was still a minor at the time) but kept the unique costume and identity of Firestar given to her by Frost.[20]

Firestar was later to become one of the few surviving original Hellions after most members were murdered by Trevor Fitzroy.[21] She, Warpath and Empath were the only members of the team not present during the massacre. Firestar and Warpath (accompanied by Warpath's X-Force teammate and Firestar's former love interest Cannonball), travelled to Nova Roma in Brazil to inform Empath and former New Mutant Magma of their teammates' deaths. The trio then went to the Massachusetts Academy where they removed the few remaining files on record of the Hellions' existence.[22]

New Warriors

Shortly after her resignation from the Massachusetts Academy, Firestar became a founding member of the

Juggernaut alongside the New Warriors.[25] The team battled the Mad Thinker and Primus,[26] and then battled Psionex.[27]

The team battled the second

Mandroids. With teammates Marvel Boy and Namorita, and the Star Thief, she launched into space aboard a Stane rocket.[28] They encountered the Inhumans and the Watcher on the Moon. With the help of Black Bolt and the Star Thief, she destroyed the Stane rocket containing hazardous waste.[29]

Back on Earth, the New Warriors battled the

Force of Nature in a Brazilian jungle, and rescued teammate Speedball's mother.[30] The New Warriors also battled the White Queen and her Hellions.[31]

Eventually, she fell in love and became engaged to teammate Vance Astrovik (also known as

Marvel Boy).[32] She later discovered that using her microwave powers could eventually render her infertile.[33]

During a revenge scheme by a gang of thugs called the Poison Memories, Firestar's father was shot in the chest.[34] He nearly died but recovered.[35] Firestar also faced a time without Vance, as he had to serve a prison term for the involuntary slaying of his own abusive father.[36]

Firestar also provided vital assistance in helping Spider-Man tackle

Carnage during "Maximum Carnage", when he was also forced to ally himself with Venom, Black Cat and Morbius to stop Carnage's reign of slaughter. Her microwave power proved the only weapon truly effective against Carnage following his 'upgrade'—his vulnerability to sonics having been weakened—but she still refused to kill Carnage, even to stop his murders.[37] For a time, she was briefly attracted to Spider-Man's clone, Ben Reilly, when he joined the New Warriors under the identity of the Scarlet Spider,[38]
but their relationship never went beyond an interest due to Firestar's engagement to Justice and Reilly's secrecy causing him to avoid revealing his identity.

Avengers

Firestar and Justice eventually left the New Warriors together. Some time later the two joined the Avengers after an alternate-universe adventure and a struggle against Morgan le Fay.[39] Firestar helped demonstrate her fitness for the position when she and Vance took down Whirlwind, a villain that had foiled most of the other Avengers at once.[40]

Firestar demonstrated a more restrained fashion sense, refusing to wear a cleavage-baring costume designed by the

Wasp. Though she is seen wearing exactly that costume in an Avengers promo poster and in some early Avengers appearances, she quickly altered the costume to be more modest, which was consistent with her personality.[41]

During this period,

Henry Pym determined that the cause of her potential infertility was her natural immunity to the effects of her own powers (which all mutants possess) had never fully developed. He designed a costume for her that would siphon off the excess radiation, give her natural immunity the opportunity to manifest fully and heal the damage already done.[42] After a distinguished tenure with the Avengers, including going undercover in a bizarre cult,[43][44][45] facing a horde of Ultron robots,[46] and struggling against Kang the Conqueror's takeover of modern-day Earth,[47] she and Justice left the Avengers. She also made a tentative peace with Emma Frost during this time.[48]

Angelica started college and enjoyed a "normal life",[49] but she abandoned wedding preparations, leaving Vance with all of the responsibility. When Vance confronted her about this, she confessed that she needed more life experience before settling into married life. Vance left in anger and presumably ended their engagement.[50]

Retirement

Firestar is one of the few mutants left on the planet with her powers intact after the

Hindsight Lad).[52]
She is seen flying in the background, above the confrontation.

Firestar responded to the

Superhuman Registration Act by effectively retiring from her career as a costumed hero.[53]
She was seen as part of a New Warriors reunion of sorts with Nova and Justice, with whom she seems to be on good terms again.

Marvel Divas

In the limited series

Henry Pym offering her a second opinion (despite Pym actually being a biochemist, and not a physician), she is still in visible distress; enough for Daimon Hellstrom to approach his ex-wife Patsy, ensuring her fast healing in exchange for Patsy remarrying him (and giving him her soul in the process).[57] Learning about Patsy's brave move to help in her recovery, Angelica and her supportive friends travelled to Hellstrom's dimension to rescue her, thereby rejecting his 'healing' help for Hellcat's freedom and taking her chances against the cancer. After returning to Earth, Angelica had a follow-up exam that revealed her cancer to be in complete remission. During this series, she is a New York University graduate student in art history, specializing in Medieval European art. Due to her chemotherapy, Angelica began to lose her hair. Initially opting for a wig, she decided to cut her hair short instead.[58]

One-shot and Young Allies

Firestar continues her education while engaging in super heroics part-time. In her one-shot issue, she is wearing a long-haired red wig as her natural hair has not grown back yet.[59]

When the

Gravity, Nomad, Spider-Girl and Toro.[60] The five heroes unite to defeat the menace, but are not taken seriously by the established teams (the Fantastic Four and Avengers) to arrive after the battle.[61]

The group worked to track down the Bastards of Evil, Firestar partnering with Gravity while the others pursued independent leads. In addition to tracking the Bastards, Firestar and Gravity begin to patrol the city at night fighting street level crime. During this period, Angelica is dismissive of Nomad and Spider-Girl, which she later regrets as it wasn't that long ago that she was an adolescent super hero.[62][63]

When Nomad and Spider-Girl are captured by the Bastards on their way to meet Gravity and Firestar, Angelica is able to use her microwave powers to track the Bastards and is able to drain the radiation that empowers them. With Gravity's help, she is able to expel the energy harmlessly into space. Nomad suggests that they remain together as the Young Allies, which everyone objects to, and they appear to go their separate ways.[64]

In the final issue of Young Allies (issue #6), Emma Frost attempts to recruit Angelica to move to Utopia with the rest of the mutant population. No offer to join the X-Men was explicitly made, but as most of the mutants living in Utopia appear to be on call as needed, it can be assumed that if Firestar moved she would have been available to the team. Angelica refused the offer, eventually burning down Emma's hotel room to be left alone. Gravity and Firestar continue their evening patrols, and Frost suggests that Gravity has a romantic/sexual interest in her. He also appears to recognize her civilian identity when he sees her in a coffee shop, but she does not notice him.[65]

The Young Allies are continuing to operate as a loosely affiliated team to fight

Prodigy regarding magical hammers that have crashed into the earth. She and Gravity agree to co-lead an Initiative team to help keep order during the crisis.[67] After Gravity is injured in a fight with Crossbones, she assumes full command until she and Prodigy travel to Las Vegas to assist with the damage control efforts after the Juggernaut's attack on the city and subsequent battle with the Heavy Hitters.[volume & issue needed] Reunited with Gravity, who also went to Las Vegas to confront Heavy Hitters leader Hardball regarding civilian casualties during the fight, Firestar joined Gravity, Hardball and Telemetry on a mission to prevent seismic damage to the area.[volume & issue needed] Believing they were going to die, she and Gravity revealed their secret identities to each other.[volume & issue needed] Following the end of Fear Itself, Firestar has been seen with Gravity and their former Young Allies associate Spider-Girl fighting Hydro Man, indicating the group is still working together.[68]

Firestar applied for a teaching job at the Jean Grey School of Higher Learning but when she admitted that she had a thing for Iceman she was rejected as Kitty Pryde, the headmistress of the school who was doing the interviewing, was at the time Iceman's girlfriend.[69]

X-Men

Firestar joined the

Nightcrawler,[70] at one point setting Hell itself on fire to stop a wave of demons attacking her and Iceman, an action that notably impressed Nightcrawler.[71] Later on, after returning to Earth, Firestar and Iceman encountered Spider-Man.[72]

Powers and abilities

Firestar is a

Colossus.[19] Firestar's mutant abilities do not grant her any particular immunity to the effects of intense heat other than that generated by her own microwave powers. During training exercises with Emma Frost in her limited series, she was chastised by her teacher for clumsiness and warned that she could have been "severely burned" by a laser.[75] During a fight between the Avengers and Fantastic Four years later, the Human Torch was afraid of burning her with his own flames.[volume & issue needed] However, she eventually displayed the ability to siphon heat energy and to detect electromagnetic signatures from broadcast transmissions.[63]

Though exposure to high levels of microwave radiation can be harmful or fatal to living beings, Firestar is apparently immune to most of the damaging effects of her powers. Unlike most mutants, her immunity to her own power was not complete; she was in danger of rendering herself sterile until a cure was discovered by

Henry Pym. He designed a suit of micro-circuitry to be worn under her costume that absorbed the excess microwave energy that was affecting her cells, and diverted it in a way that would "kick start" her natural immunity to her own powers. Pym claimed it would take about six months for process to be complete, and over time Firestar appeared to be functionally immune to microwave radiation.[42] She was later diagnosed with breast cancer which was attributed to long-term exposure to her own power.[55] Though the cancer is in remission, the current status of her immunity is unknown.[58]

On rare occasion, Firestar has demonstrated the ability to disrupt the

Empath,[22] and the Darkling).[76] She is not immune to psychic assault, but when using microwave abilities at a high level she is capable of disrupting it. Onslaught,[volume & issue needed] and the Gamesmaster,[volume & issue needed
] were both able to use telepathy against her effectively.

The nature of Firestar's power grants her the capacity for large-scale destruction. She typically limits how much of her own power she accesses for fear of permanently damaging the planet, its atmosphere and electromagnetic field. In space, she is far less inhibited, and can access greater levels of ambient electromagnetic energy to fuel her powers. She easily produced an attack that injured

Garthan Saal when he possessed the energy of the entire Nova Corps,[77] and also used her enhanced abilities to power a massive Shi'ar interstellar transport gate with very little effort.[78]

Reception

Critical reception

Deirdre Kaye of

CBR.com ranked Firestar 4th in their "10 Most Powerful Members of The New Warriors" list,[81] and 15th in their "20 Most Powerful Female Members Of The Avengers" list.[83]

Anthony Orland of Digital Trends called Firestar one of the "12 new Marvel characters we want to see in the Spider-Man 4 movie."[84] Jordan Iacobucci of Screen Rant included Firestar in their "10 Marvel Superheroes From The ‘80s Who Should Join The MCU" list,[85] while Lukas Shayo named her one of the "10 Iconic New York City-Based Marvel Superheroes We Haven't Seen In The MCU" list.[86]

Impact

In July 2022, Marvel Comics announced that Firestar was the winner of the second annual X-Men fan vote.[87][88][89]

Other versions

Spider-Verse

Appearing in Edge of Spider-Verse: Web of Fear, Spider-UK (a British Spider-Man who is a member of the Captain Britain Corps) witnesses Morlun kill Spider-Man, as well as Firestar and Iceman lying dead.[volume & issue needed] This universe is an alternate version of Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends (Earth-1983).[90]

Exiles

An alternate version of Firestar was forced to join the team known as

Spider.[92]
Because her body was reduced to ash, it was not returned to its native universe (Earth-3062).

Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness

In issue #3 of this miniseries, she is shown, in flashback, to be among the reserve members of the Avengers answering Colonel America's distress signal (unaware it was a trap), and subsequently leaving the mansion (with fewer people than went in) infected and hungry for human flesh.

MC2

Firestar appeared in a flashback[93] detailing the last adventure of the original Avengers. Firestar was among the team members who died in the team's final battle.

Mutant X

In the Mutant X Universe, Firestar's powers had evolved to the point where her entire body was composed of microwave energy. She was one of the many people trying to resist the rule of Madelyne Pryor.[94] She, along with numerous other heroes, died in battle in the final issue of Mutant X.

Spider-Man Loves Mary-Jane

Firestar appeared in Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane. In the initial Firestar story, Mary Jane watched Spider-Man and Firestar battling crime together and became very jealous. In subsequent issues, Firestar expressed a true romantic interest in Spider-Man. The Firestar story arc took place in issues #16-20 of the series and was compiled in digest format as Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane, Vol. 4. Also, Iceman appears in a few pages of the final issue of the story arc, showcasing a rare comic-book moment in which the "Spider-Friends" are shown together.[volume & issue needed]

Ultimate Marvel

See also: Liz Allan § Ultimate Marvel

Brian Michael Bendis, writer of Ultimate Spider-Man, revealed his intentions to have the Ultimate Marvel version of Firestar appear in the book in an interview on Comic Book Resources on July 20, 2007. Bendis further stated he had spent 120 issues working toward this and making it an "organic" event and not something "I pulled out of my ass".[95]

Ultimate Firestar makes her debut in Ultimate Spider-Man #118, when Liz Allan claims to be suffering from some bizarre ailment shortly after kissing the Human Torch, and at the close of the issue catches fire while at a beach party with her friends. In the final moments of the story, Liz's body becomes a living mass of flames, signaling her transformation into what could be considered Ultimate Firestar.

The next issue (#119) deals with Liz as she tried to come to grips with her powers. The Human Torch is forced to deal with a call from the Fantastic Four, while Shadowcat is grounded, leaving only Iceman and Spider-Man able to go after Liz, an homage to the Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends television series. After some friendly banter, Magneto shows up, asking Liz to come with him so that he can take her to her biological father. Unsure of what to do, Liz goes home to confront her mother who reveals that her uncle Frank is in fact her real father. Magneto and the X-Men, summoned by Spider-Man, then show up asking Liz to side with one of them. Liz chooses neither and flees to Mary Jane's house.

Spider-Man quickly follows her there, and to convince her of his words, he reveals his true identity. She is greatly moved by this and refers to him as an "amazing friend". Swayed, Liz then thinks it might be cool to join the X-Men, leaving for the mansion alongside Iceman. The issue ends with a flashback that reveals that Liz's father is in fact the

Blob
. It was revealed in Ultimate X-Men #94 that Liz has chosen the codename Firestar, and has some control of her powers.

Liz Allan was believed to have been missing in action after Ultimatum, but survived and is featured in Ultimate X beginning with issue #4.[96] In this issue, it is revealed she, her mother and her newfound half-brother Teddy (and son of the Blob) try to make a fresh start in California. She often teases Teddy because, as she says, he reminds her of her father, though her mother speculates it might be because he reminds her of what she is. When Teddy's friend kills the high school's principal, Teddy's powers manifest, and the situation goes awry. When approached by Jean Grey's Tomorrow People and Quicksilver's Brotherhood, Liz chooses to follow Jean whereas Teddy joins Quicksilver.[volume & issue needed] After briefly working with the team,[volume & issue needed] she settles in Tian, a safe haven for mutants,[volume & issue needed] until its destruction.[volume & issue needed] She then rejoins the X-Men.[volume & issue needed] She also attended a small party that commemorated Peter a few years after his death with Iceman and Human Torch.[volume & issue needed]
