Fictional character biography

Sunstreak appeared as part of the supervillain group Stockpile, alongside Brass, Joust, Unicorn, and Calico. She and the rest of the group attack Iron Man and War Machine. Iron Man froze her out of the fight with a sustained barometric field of air at absolute zero. War Machine took her to safety. ^[1]

The Initiative

After the Civil War, she registered and started training at Camp Hammond along with Annex, Gorilla Girl and others. As her body is always red-hot, she severely burns anyone she touches. Upon learning that fellow new recruit Boulder can't get burned, she made sexual advances towards him, but he became nervous and fled. ^[2]

Dark Reign

After the Skrull invasion, Sunstreak was placed on a probationary period, rather than being assigned to an Initiative team. ^[3] But after the Ragnorak incident, at which Camp Hammond was shut down, Sunstreak has been placed on the Initiative team for Oregon, Force of Nature. She was used by Norman Osborn as justification that "reformed" villains can be placed on Initiative teams. ^[4]

Powers and abilities

Sunstreak has the ability to fly, and can project a "solar lance" from her hands. As her body is always red-hot, she severely burns anyone she touches.
