Summary
In Episode 125 of CEREBRO, the SEASON FOUR FINALE, Connor and returning guests Josh Cornillon (Did You Hear About Mimi Green? — preorder now!) and Dr. Holly Raymond of Temple University microwave themselves stupid with Angelica Jones, the functional Firestar! Created by NBC executives for the 1981 Saturday morning cartoon Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, Firestar spent the next 40-odd years desperately trying to find a place in the Earth-616 continuity of Marvel Comics.
While she had notable runs with the New Warriors and the Avengers in the 90s, Angelica never really made her way to the X-Men until the 21st century, first in Jason Aaron's Amazing X-Men, but then — a lot more explosively — under writer Gerry Duggan during the First Krakoan Age. After winning the second X-Men Vote, Firestar became a member of the flagship team, only to find herself entangled in a gruesome mission during the fall of the Krakoan state: infiltrating the anti-mutant genocidal apparatus Orchis to dismantle it from within.
She's more interesting than ever now, in my opinion, and we're excited to dig into her whole crazy continuity with you!
This is Part Two of Two. Go back to Part One if you haven't heard it yet! Patreon subscribers now have exclusive access to the combined 9-hour Extended Tidings of Joy Mix.
