The heaviest item she ever lifted left her with a nose bleed, and thumping headache. Fire 1: This is the most recent of Aurora’s abilities, which manifested during a highly emotional moment in her life. It’s easily triggered by moments of stress, causing her body to ‘flame on’ it seems to cause no physical harm to Aurora herself, but will to anyone standing too close.

| Origin Story | Aurora was born in 1972 to a mother with no mutant abilities, she and other female residents of the small backwater town had unwittingly been used as part of a breeding programme by the mutant known as Sinister. Some of the children seeded within women were from Sinster’s own genetic material, others from the material of other mutants. After a series of births of children with varying birth defects and abilities, the military stepped in under the guise of wanting to offer medical expertise. Residents became fearful for the lives of their children. Aurora’s mother ran for her life, hiding out wherever she could find shelter, keeping on the move until Aurora was born. Feeling she had little choice she left her newborn baby daughter on the steps of an orphanage. Growing up Aurora was in and out of various foster homes until she was 14, but when her mutant abilities manifested she soon learned that she was looked upon as a monster, and ran away turning to living on the streets with colonies of other mutants like herself. She got plenty of practice using her telekinesis to steal food to help feed herself and others. Aurora learned basic level control of her Telepathy from another mutant who lived in the mutant colony with her. Teaching her how to probe the minds of others, place minor suggestions into people’s minds, and general control to keep the voices in her head under control. Little did she know that Sinister had his spies everywhere, and that her tutor was one of those loyal to her ‘father.’ Three years later at the age of 17, just prior to her 18th birthday Aurora left the Colony. It was on the streets that she learned of Charles Xavier and his school for gifted children, she wasn’t sure it would be the place for her so she spent almost a week going back and forth watching the school. She eventually plucked up the courage to make herself known, just as she found herself taken captive by an unknown organisation. Rescued from captivity by Scott Summers she accepted a place at Charles Xavier’s school, falling in love with Scott Summers in the process. The two married when discovering that Aurora was carrying Scott’s son, with the return of Jean Grey their marriage was annulled leaving Aurora alone once again. After the early birth of her son thanks to Sinister, Aurora spent 3 years in Limbo having been forced to sell her soul to Belasco in order to protect her son. She has since become the Goblin Queen, head of Belasco’s army. |
