Born a hero the night a fireball from the heavens landed near her on her walk home from church, Bonita Juarez from the Southwest became Firebird. Edit
ORIGIN
Bonita Juarez gained superpowers when she was hit by a ball of cold fire that came out of the sky. The fireball contained extraterrestrial radiation that gave Bonita energy-wielding powers. Juarez believed that the fireball was from the Firebird, a creature of Native American lore. Because of this Juarez decided to become a superhero and call herself Firebird.
One day, Firebird received a call that was actually meant to be for Avengers. Firebird got to the source of the call and along with five other superheroes and fought the Corruptor. Together the heroes defeated the corruptor and decided to band together as the Southern States local hero-team, the Rangers.
La Espirita came to the mansion just on time because Hank Pym was about to commit to suicide. La Espirita convinced Pym to not commit suicide and gave him a new lease on life. After Espirita's helped Hank Pym they went looking for the rest of the team who had gone missing. The rest of the team had been kidnapped by an evil alien computer called Dominus. Together, Espirita and Hank Pym defeated the Dominus and rescued the team. Espirita then left the team but she was still considered a member.
Bonita later learned of her true origins when she was captured by aliens who told her that the fireball that had given her the powers was actually a failed experiment by one of their race's children. Bonita was hurt by this fact because she had though all a long that her powers were given by God. Bonita though, overcame her depression and decided that somehow her powers were still give to her by the will of God and once again called herself Firebird.
Firebird returned to a life of helping people in the Southwest United States but once again teamed up with the Avengers and the Thunderbolts to stop Dominex who was made form the Dominus alien super computer.After the Civil War, Firebird was seen on the anti-registration side along with the Secret Avengers. She, however, switched sides when Goliath was killed. Firebird is now a member of a team formed as a result of the 50-State The Initiative. This team is called the Rangers and is based in Texas.
