Firestar

Bursting onto the scene in 2008's Ultimate Spider-Man #118, this version of Firestar is a product of Marvel's bold Ultimate Universe reimagining — a Modern Age creation shaped by the acclaimed creative partnership of Brian Michael Bendis and Stuart Immonen. Her eleven catalogued appearances span a fascinating corner of Marvel's alternate continuity, touching titles like Ultimate Comics X: Origins and the cataclysmic Ultimatum crossover event. She keeps genuinely electric company — sharing pages with the likes of Iceman, Logan, and Scott Summers — which tells you she moves in the highest-stakes mutant circles the Ultimate Universe has to offer. A compact but compelling presence in one of comics' most daring experimental eras, she's a rewarding discovery for anyone digging into the Ultimate line's rich, compressed mythology.
