Who is Black Flame?

Born from the imaginations of Robert Kanigher and Carmine Infantino in 1969, Black Flame is a Silver Age DC creation who made her fiery entrance in DC Special #3 before carving out a place in the pages of Adventure Comics and Supergirl. She keeps genuinely rarefied company — sharing adventures with Supergirl, Wonder Woman, and Superboy — which tells you everything about the cosmic weight of the stories she inhabits. Across a publishing history that stretches remarkably from the late Silver Age all the way to 2026, this is a character with real staying power in the DC universe, the kind of figure that rewards the curious collector willing to dig into the corners where legends are made.
