Who is Witchfire?

Origin Witchfire remembers a childhood spent in the orphanage where a book of spells exposed young Rebecca Carstairs to the wickedly fun world of magic. As an adult, she assumed the stage name Witchfire and set out to conquer the entertainment world, winning fame as a singer, actress, model and motorcycle daredevil. At a concert in Boston , Witchfire cast a careless spell and unwittingly released Nekron , Lord of the Unliving. Wonder Woman helped her send the unliving entity back to his dimension and Witchfire committed herself to refining her supernatural abilities. She eventually joined the San Fransico -based Super-hero firm The Power Company as a partner, though some members (notably Skyrocket ) considered her little more than a publicity seeker. After her first year with the Power Company, Witchfire discovered a disturbing truth – she was a homunculus, a magical-created artificial being and not the true Rebecca Carstairs. How she will deal with this revelation remains to be seen. She hopes to win new clients for the Power Company.
