About the series
Marvel’s 1986 Firestar series is a four-issue limited series that deepens the backstory of Angelica Jones, the young mutant hero with microwave powers. Written by Tom DeFalco with art by Mary Wilshire and Bob Wiacek, the story explores her recruitment into the Hellfire Club by the White Queen, Emma Frost, and her early encounters with Charles Xavier. This series matters for fleshing out Firestar’s origins before her more famous animated appearances, offering a darker, character-driven take on a hero torn between two powerful mutant factions.
