The Starjammers are ragtag group of beings that for multiple reasons, live and fight in space. For some, it's the only home they've ever known. For others, it's where the battles of their lives leads them. And for yet others, it's the only place they can "safely" use their abilities.
Firestar/Angelica Jones:
Born a mutant on Earth, her powers were too dangerous to be used on a regular basis in Earth's atmosphere. On a fateful day, an alien slaving ship picked her up for their gladiatorial games. That was their last mistake as she was able to let loose and take on a small fleet of ships, and win. Though afterward, she was drained and would have drifted forever in space, but she had been found by the Starjammers.
Firestar is a mutant possessing the ability to convert ambient electromagnetic energy from her environment into microwave energy, which she can then manipulate for various effects. As she alters the electromagnetic wavelengths, they form a microwave aura around her body, at which point she mentally "pushes" the microwaves away from herself. Doing this allows her to release heat, light and radiation into her environment at various intensities. By focusing microwaves on a specific target, she can cause it to burst into flames, explode or melt. She can project microwave energy blasts which have a thermo-concussive effect, heating objects to the point of melting or being incinerated, while the superheated and pressurized air created by the directed microwaves produces impact. Firestar can also sense microwave signals (such as cellular phone signals or remote-control devices) and disrupt electronics with her own microwave emissions. By superheating the air around her, Firestar can generate enough upward thrust to fly at high speeds and lift objects as heavy as the X-Man Colossus.
The nature of Firestar's power grants her the capacity for large-scale destruction. However, she typically limits how much of her own power she accesses for fear of permanently damaging the planet, its atmosphere and electromagnetic field. In space, she is far less inhibited, and can access greater levels of ambient electromagnetic energy to fuel her powers.
