Code Name: Magma Real Name: Allison Crestmere Mutant Power(s): Ability to transform into a heat generated form and project bursts of heat and flame up to at least 850 degrees Fahrenheit. Biography: Magma at first believed herself to be a citizen of Nova Roma, an outpost of the Roman Empire that had survived to this day in the Amazon rainforest. She learned of her power to control lava and tectonic forces when she was sacrificed to Selene and cast into a lava pit. "Amara" joined the New Mutants and was a core member until she fell in love with the Hellion known as Empath. She joined the Hellions to be with him, but shortly thereafter she found out that she was really Allison Crestmere, daughter of a British ambassador, and that the entire Nova Roma was a creation of Selene, who used it to keep people at a low technological and theological level, so they would worship and sustain her. Magma and Empath left the Hellions, and Allison now helps the survivors of Nova Roma readjust to life in the twentieth century. She is also involved with the search for her real parents. Magma was captured by the Upstarts for the Younghunt, but returned to her regular life when her captors were defeated. Possible Purpose in Exiles: Magma was still a member of the Hellions when Trevor Fitzroy killed the team. The wrinkle in time Magma must correct is the fact that she never left the Hellions, resulting in her death. |
