Who is Volcana?

Origin Marsha Rosenberg Marsha Rosenberg was born to a middle class Jewish family in Denver , Colorado . She spent much of her youth being the “chubby” compatriot to Mary “Skeeter” MacPherran. Both were basically outcasts in their school years and even physically picked on and beaten up on by the more popular girls. Each was their best (if only) friend. Things were essentially completely uneventful for them aside from Marsha discovering that Mary had posed as the new superhero Spider Woman in order to impress and scare the popular girls. Little would either of them know that things were about to get quite interesting for them. Secret Wars Origin When the Beyonder (a God-like entity of almost infinite power) spirited away Denver (and all the people in it) to a planet called Battleworld , they both drew the attention of Dr. Doom who had also been brought along.
