History:
Brazilian-born Beatriz DaCosta, the original party girl, had a reputation for never turning down a job or opportunity if it sounded dangerous, exciting, or glamorous enough. She got her "big break" when she auditioned as a nightclub showgirl. To land the job, she had to win the approval of Dom Diablo, the club's owner and one of Brazil's leading business moguls... and even though he gave her "the creeps," she got the part. Billboards picturing B.B. DaCosta went up all over Brazil, and Beatriz became a local celebrity overnight. She was flattered by the attention — until she discovered that the "media blitz" she'd been enjoying had all been part of a setup by Diablo, who was trying to sell the nightclub to a charity organization for much more than it was worth by convincing them that the club had "famous stars" like Beatriz under contract.

Beatriz, offended by Diablo's plan, exposed Diablo and caused his deal to fall through. Fired, she went looking for another glamorous job and lucked into a career as a government spy. Her career came to a screeching halt when she was sent on a highly discreet mission to capture Dom Diablo's dilettante son, Menino, who had stolen some experimental equipment, including a machine that produced Pyroplasm. a powerful organic energy source. Not only did she bungle this mission, but she caused an explosion that destroyed Diablo's estate.

The resulting destruction unleashed the Pyroplasm energy, and while Menino was hurled out of its range, the blast bathed Beatriz. In the explosion's aftermath, she found that she had been endowed with the dubious super-power of breathing short bursts of green-colored flame. Beatriz then left Brazil for Paris, where she adopted the super-hero identity Green Flame and joined the international peacekeeping organization known as the Global Guardians. As a member of that team, she worked closely with Icemaiden, and the two of them became fast friends, sticking together even after the Guardians dissolution.

Soon, Beatriz persuaded Icemaiden to accompany her to New York, where she announced to an underwhelmed J'onn J'onzz their intention to join Justice League International. Rebuffed at first, Green Flame and Icemaiden refused to give up and, at a time when the League was perilously shorthanded, were rewarded a probationary membership. Having served well during that case, the two women were made permanent members of the JLI.

Later, during the invasion of Earth by an alien alliance led by the Dominators. Beatriz's powers were radically changed. The Dominators unleashed their ultimate weapon: a "gene bomb" that imperiled the majority of Earth's super-powered inhabitants, nullifying, and in many cases transforming, their super-abilities. Beatriz fell into a coma and might have died had not the Martian Manhunter successfully led a squadron of unaffected heroes to retrieve the gene-bomb antidote.

When Beatriz came to, she found that the now had the ability to change at will into a being of living green fire.

Beatriz, while not particularly well educated, is quite clever and streetsmart. She is highly impulsive and tends not to take much seriously, but she is also much more dependable and responsible than her flighty manner might suggest. When not actively involved in Justice League duties, she, like her friend Ice, enjoys a secondary part-time career as a model.

Powers:
In addition to being an above-average hand-to-hand combatant, Fire can, in her flame state, fly and emit bursts of green fire; she is also wraithlike and thus impervious to most forms of physical attack.

In her super-heroine guise, Fire wears a special outfit chemically treated to resist her flames.
