Hey, heroes! I'm streaming on Twitch again this weekend! On Saturday I'm playing more Final Fantasy I, then on Sunday it's Yakuza 0. www.twitch.tv/merrymarvelite

I first saw Angelica Jones on the old hit cartoon from the 1980s “Spider-Man and his amazing friends“. I’ve been wanting to hear about the comic version for sometime. Thanks for uploading this! Much like Harley Quinn for Batman years later, this was a character that was specifically created for a show, but got so popular that she became a regular in the regular universe that she was written in.
-
Fire star is one of the most underrated heroines in Marvel and the show did wonders for her character🔥🔥🔥
-
Spider-man sure has some amazing friends!!! 😋
-
My first exposure to Firestar was Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends from the 1981 series. I have her limited series in my comic collection. Angelica Jones is my favorite character from Marvel Comics. Originally for the show, they were going to add Johnny Storm as the third member, but because of legal issues with the rights of the Human Torch character, NBC created Firestar, and the character became popular.😊🤓

When I was a kid I loved watching Spiderman and his amazing friends with Iceman n Firestar in the show. I was so disappointed when I found out they really didn't hang out in the comics.
-
I know her because of the show Spider-Man and his amazing friends
-
What a rollercoaster of a history. Thank you for this!
-
The first story I ever read with Emma Frost in it had her stealing Storm's body. The second had her killing this kid's horse. It makes it very hard for me to sympathize with her under basically any circumstance.
-
Glad that she made her way into the comics after her debut on TV.
-
Always liked Firestar, from first seeing her on the cartoon to the New Warriors and when she joined the Avengers.
-
Firestar is so underrated. I hope they eventually have her in the MCU.
-
I first encountered Firestar on the animated show "Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends". I remember when she first appeared in the comics in the pages of X-Men. I have a soft spot in my fandom for this character. As long as your doing videos on red heads how about doing a video on RED NORVILLE, the red headed Thor stand in. As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!
-
Oh my God! I totally forgot about Firestar! I used to have a crush on this character when I was a kid. Her, Dazzler, but then much later Psylocke, Rogue, and finally Jubilee (who is still my most memorable childhood X-Men crush).
-
I live in England so I listen to these every Saturday morning. Great videos man! Firestar holds a special place in my heart cause I had so many episodes of Spider-Man and his amazing friends on VHS Even though I was born a decade after it aired.
-
Firestar, X-23, and Harley Q all debuted on the cartoons, ... Kinda cool

Firestar was created to prevent a lawsuit...the cartoon "Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends' was originally going to have the Human Torch in it,but the cartoon was produced by Ruby-Spears and Marvel gave all rights to the Fantastic Four characters to Hanna Barbera back then so instead they created a mutant with basically the same powers...thus Firestar.
-
There are so many characters outside the well-known teams or single heroes who deserve more recognition, Firestar is definitely one of them. I was born in '83 and came into my own in comics in the early to mid 90s. You had the New Warriors, Alpha Flight, West Coast Avengers, X-Force, the Midnight Sons; so much more going on than just the X-Men, Avengers and Fantastic Four.
-
I love how she was actually growing up as time went on. I wish more comics did this.
