She continually absorbs microwave energy from her environment and broadcasts it at low levels, thus causing microwaves to swirl about her body, sometimes creating a visible aura around her. Firestar can fly by pushing microwave energy beneath herself for propulsion.

The Hulk and Firestar were presumably sent in by the Timebroker to neutralize the threat Hyperion posed to Weapon X. However, their coup of the de facto Weapon X leader would fail, leading them to be tortured in the middle of Time Square.
Following the discovery that the Timebroker wanted Weapon X and their counterparts the Exiles to reduce the number in their ranks by killing off eachother, Firestar commited suicide by causing herself to self-combust. She intended to take out her Weapon X tormentors along with her, but only succeeded in killing the Spider.

Mainstream Universe
In our reality, Angelica Jones was a mutant whose newly emerging mutant ability caused her presence to be detected by Multivac, a machine designed by Emma Frost of the Hellfire Club for the purpose of locating superhumanly powerful mutants. When Thunderbird, one of the Hellions, a team of adolescent mutants being trained by Frost, sought vengeance on Charles Xavier and the X-Men for the death of his brother, the original Thunderbird, the Hellion known as Empath used his power to control the Firestar's emotions and forced her to participate in the Hellions' attack on the X-Men. Once free of Empath's control, Firestar felt despair and guilt over having helped the Hellions. Angelica later joined with other teenage super humans to form the New Warriors where she gradually developed a romantic relationship with Marvel Boy, later known as Justice. They would later help the Avengers reform after a period of long disbanding and were accepted as reserve members under the tutelage of Hawkeye. Angelica recently accepted Justice's marriage proposal, and the two left active Avenger duty to explore their relationship before marriage.
