HISTORY

The daughter of Senator Walter Reilly, Lorraine was kidnapped and experimented on by Multiplex in an attempt to kill Firestorm. The experiments enabled her to become Firehawk, with wings of atomic fire and an ability to generate intense heat. She was brainwashed into attacking the hero, who defeated her, after which she soon reverted to her usual self, remembering little of what had happened. She was later jogged into becoming Firehawk again, but this time as a hero, since when she has battled crime and evil on a regular basis. She has an on-again off-again romantic relationship with Booster Gold.

Firehawk was part of a brief, failed version of the JLA along with other members such as Firestorm, Ambush Bug, Bulleteer and Super-Chief III. - 52 #24
