BIO
Inferna was raised in a pretty strict environment. And when someone is raised in a strict environment, they have 2 choices. You can either conform to it, and become a stoic, or you can rebel against it. Unfortunately, Lindsay went with the first choice. Flare turned out a free soul, Inferna turned into something straight out of boot camp.
Inferna is one of the world's only mutants whose powers manifested themselves in a good way. She woke up one night and her house was on fire (not because of her). Out of fear, she naturally wished them away, and the flames obeyed her command. It took her another couple of weeks to realize that they left because of her, but when she did, her first reaction was fear. Her second reaction was to join the military, but she had just read something in the news about a powerful mutant that had been taken into testing because of his mutancy by the military. Her sister had been found a mutant a year later, and had joined a team known as the Elementals. Flare suggested that Lindsay join the Alpha Squadron, a new team started by the man that used to be the Phantom. Inferna hitched a ride with Flare to America, where she was accepted into the Alpha Squadron. When asked why, Sizzle said that he "took one look at that spikey hair of hers and just had to take her, if not for her power then for the comic relief." Thus the nickname Spikey.
