Because her hair is so ...wild? Haha.

Nope.

So what we're after is... why would "Wildfire" have been a particularly appropriate name for a character with that effect?

Hm. During her initial appearances, did her hair trail usually leave actual fire behind on the ground?

Not that I know of.

you mean the third Starfire, actually. There was another in between the original and Koriand'r, a space opera heroine, although as far as I know her only DCU appearance was in Robinson's Starman.

Her tendency, especially early on, to go overboard in combat, to get too immersed in the thrill of battle?

She's apparently at least the fourth, as there was a one-shot Supergirl villain who used the name as well. Which makes it even more bizarre that Cockrum wasn't allowed to use the name.

Anyway, the trait is the long-hair with energy trail following her when she flies, but what we're looking for is a specific connection between that and the name "Wildfire".

Hint: If Drake Burroughs hadn't been named "Wildfire", this connection might be a bit more obvious.

When I think about this question, this Wildfire keeps popping up in my mind

Is it because of this Wildfire and her rather wild red hair?

That's basically it. The long-hair merging into energy trail was a distinctive feature of the original Wildfire. I'm pretty sure she originated it, being one of the first female comics characters.



I just thought it was kind of a cool fact amongst the already complicated tangle of characters using the same names, with the original Wildfire not being used in All-Star Squadron because of the Legionnaire sharing her name, while in turn the Legionnaire was originally supposed to be called "Starfire" but was prevented by another character with that name, and meanwhile the most famous Starfire borrowed a very distinctive trait from the original Wildfire.

It's part of the circle of life!

Miss Martian was responsible for which character gaining their powers?

Bombshell?

Nope (at least, not that I'm aware)

Hmm... Solstice?

Nope, not Solstice either.

Hint - think non-paper

Is that a clue to the Young Justice cartoon? I've never watched that I'm afraid.

Random guess - Zatara.

Oh, it does sound like something I heard in Young Justice, but can't remember. Guessing Lagon/Lagoon Boy?

Offspring?

Yes, I am referring to the Young Justice toon. None of those are right, though.

Clue - this character is more commonly associated with a different comic book superhero team than with Young Justice.

Star Girl?

Well if not Lagon, then Logan/Beast Boy.

SS has it - the Young Justice Beast Boy got his powers via a blood transfusion from the YJ Miss Martian.

Go, SS!

Name two 10-letter words connected to Slade Wilson's earliest storyline.

Gee, I thought at least one of them would be obvious.

terminator?
