-------Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends-------
Season 2. Episode 3.
A FIRESTAR IS BORN.
The ORIGIN EPISODE for FIRESTAR.
After having had an ORIGIN episode for ICEMAN and one for SPIDER-MAN, now we have the episode that shows us the origin of FIRESTAR. From a certain point of view, her origin is no different to the ones of other members of the X-MEN, she had a slightly tormented childhood and puberty, but in her case, it maybe had much more to do with her wanting to hang out with the wrong people, namely, people who didn´t like her back (like her nemesis, a more or less rich and spoiled girl named Bonnie) that with having too much difficulty trying to control her powers, even when as pretty much all X-Men, she had to suffer one or two small accidents while she was growing up.
Now, from another point of view, her origin is pretty unique, because she was created specifically for this TV show. They wanted Spidey to have partners that had powers of both FIRE and ICE, so they made him team-up with ICEMAN, one of the most popular X-MEN from the comics and invented FIRESTAR, giving her an X-Men background too.
This was also good because the ORIGIN episode for FIRESTAR, worked too as a PRESENTATION episode for many of the X-Men, because even when many of them where mentioned before, we only saw them really in action till this episode. In the same order of ideas, this episode also presented MARKO or JUGGERNAUT, one of the deadliest enemies of the X-MEN when he goes to fight against them during their reunion.
Angelica? well, over the years she appeared in the comics too, first as a member of a group of heroes called Hellions, then the New Warriors, then the Avengers, etc, etc, etc,... but if you ask me the most important about her character is her participation in series like MAXIMUM CARNAGE, where she remains as one of the most important allies and friends of SPIDER-MAN, even when, in theory, the team called the SPIDER-FRIENDS (Spider-Man, IceMan, FireStar) never occurred as such in the comic.
