History
Amara Aquila is a Brazilian mutant with the ability to become a "living flame" and generate and control lava.
She first appeared alongside the other New Mutants[2]. Amara was talking on a bench with Jubilee when Sunspot shows off near them, causing them both to giggle. She was also seen talking with Jubilee and Berzerker, and later retaliated against Boom-Boom when she blew one of her plasma balls up near their feet.
She was later seen training with the New Mutants[3], partying with the rest of the X-Men[4], and having a snowball fight with Iceman, Berzerker, Jubilee, and Beast[5]. She shortly thereafter thanked Jean for a necklace she was given as a Christmas gift[6].
Magma used her flame balls in training to stop sharp disks from hitting her, though she could not quite stop them all and was disappointed[7]. Shortly thereafter, she, Tabitha, Jean, Kitty, and Rogue all formed a girls-only vigilante group called the Bayville Sirens where they go around after hours and fight crime. This was caused by Scott saving Jean and Amara earlier because he thought they couldn't have done it themselves.[8]
Amara was seen in a Danger Room session with Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Spyke, and Shadowcat. She was present in the mansion when it activated Defcon 4, but she managed to escape with the help of Tabitha. They go and find Scott and tell him what happened. She managed to get Scott and Tabitha into the mansion, and escaped the self-destruct mode along with the other New Mutants and Scott[9]. Later, she single-handedly used her abilities to stop a volcanic eruption which would have devastated St. Sebastian Island.[1]Attributes
