Firestar is a fictional comic book superhero featured in titles published by Marvel Comics. She is based on a previously seen character who appeared on episodes of the 1981-193 animated TV series Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends.

Overview[]
Firestar's real name is Angelica "Angel" Jones. She is a mutant gifted with the ability to fly and to project beams of microwave energy from her hands. She was originally a member of the group known as the Hellions under the tutelage of Emma Frost, and once fought up against the X-Men. Firestar later turned away from From and struck out on her own. She eventually came to be a founding member of the New Warriors. During this time, she developed a romantic relationship with Vance Astrovik, aka Justice. The two made plans for marriage, but ultimately broke it off. Firestar later made a traumatic discovery - she had developed breast cancer. She sought consultation with the premiere experts in the field, and also reached out to the superhuman community. Her friend Hellcat made a deal with her ex-husband Daimon Hellstrom for a cure. In exchange, Hellcat had to spend one night in Hell. Firestar then got a teaching job as a physics teacher at the Jean Grey School of Higher Learning and became an X-Man.
