MARVEL DIVAS (nee VIXENS) Firestar Appreciation
Curious about what the new costume that artist Tonci Zonjic suggests in the character sketch would have looked like on the page. Has a certain similarity to her new X-MEN suit to my eye.

It's a naive hope, but I do hope that going forward, Angelica calls out the whole idea that the X-Men are the sole voice for mutants.
It could happen...
All I wanted was to be unconditionally loved while never having to work on my flaws. Is that so much to ask?
The annual proved that there's more to Firestar than just being the team "blaster". We just need Duggan to use his imagination on different ways Angelica can use her powers....if he can just take one breath away from Jean and Cyclops...

Saw this on Scans daily, and I had to share.
ROULETTE: Well well well, if it isn't Little Miss Avenger. What did you ever do for mutants, Miss Avenger?
FIRESTAR: I helped stop Kang from conquering the planet. I helped stop Ultron from destroying all organic life and avenged Sokovia. Pretty sure mutants benefited there.
ROULETTE: Well, you never had to deal with bigotry the way we did! The humans killed us with their Sentinels.
FIRESTAR: There were literally bigots waving signs outside Avengers Mansion when my fiance and I joined. Also, a mutant killed you with Sentinels. The New Warriors and I helped stop them. You're welcome.
ROULETTE: Wait, really? Maybe you will be able to earn our respect eventually.
FIRESTAR: Thank god! I was so concerned with being respected by a bunch of losers who still wear their school uniforms and don't understand the legal system of a nation with three laws.
ROULETTE: Why, you... How'd you like some bad luck?
FIRESTAR: Please. I've fought gods, dumbass. I could make you all explode like hot dogs in a microwave and it wouldn't even be illegal. Go ahead. It would be therapeutic for me.
FIRESTAR: Show of hands. Who here has saved the world. You know what, no. Let's make these even easier. Who has even been in the same room while somebody was saving the world? Really? Just me? Okay, how about this? Who has fought killer robots and NOT been killed by them? Still just me? Wow. What are the odds?
