Firestar was originally created for the NBC animated series Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. The creators had originally wanted to use the Human Torch, but the rights to the character were tied up.[citation needed] Kathy Garver provided her voice. Dennis Marks, one of the original writers of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, stated in a 2002 interview, that he had come up with the name of Firestar's alias, Angelica Jones, taken from one of his old girlfriends.
In the series, Firestar (whose pre-production names included Heatwave, Starblaze, and Firefly) is identified as being a former member of the X-Men, along with Iceman, with whom she occasionally appears to have a playful flirtation and sometimes dates. At times she dates Peter Parker (Spider-Man) as well, resulting in a relaxed love triangle of sorts (though Iceman states that, despite his feelings for Firestar, "fire and ice don't really mix"[4]). Firestar also has a one-episode romance with Sunfire.
Her origin is explained in "A Firestar is Born." She started out as a young girl who was bullied by a girl named Bonnie who called her "Miss Angelica Jinx". During that time, she had developed her powers. One day, she had disguised herself in order to save her father. Later on in high school, Bonnie and her boyfriend framed Angelica for the theft of a trophy causing Dean Wilmer to temporarily suspend Angelica from school. To right this wrong, Angelica became Firestar for the first time where she found proof of Bonnie's deception, found the trophy, and forced Bonnie to confess, leading her and her boyfriend to be expelled from school. Later on, she was approached by Cyclops, Angel, and Iceman to join up with the X-Men. She accepted and was seen helping them in their fights with Magneto and the Sentinels.
The animated series and the one-shot Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends comic book (which adapted an episode for print) are not considered part of standard Marvel Universe continuity. However, a 2006 one-shot comic, Spider-Man Family: Amazing Friends (August 2006), features an in-continuity story, "Opposites Attack!", in which the three superheroes work as a short-lived team. This story takes place shortly after up-and-coming hero Firestar becomes a founding member of the New Warriors.
