Beatriz daCosta's background is certainly colorful. She was once a famous Brazilian entertainer, but later became a top secret agent for Brazil's Espiaos Nacionales, the national cloak-and-dagger front. On one of her many cases for the ENB, Beatriz was trapped in a pyroplasmic explosion that endowed her with the unusual power of being able to exhale a eight-inch burst of fire (SECRET ORIGINS #33).

With her newfound powers, Beatriz became a superheroine and began operating under the name Green Fury, although she rapidly changed her name to the less dramatic Green Flame. For a long time, Green Flame was a loyal member of the Global Guardians. After the Guardians' dissolution, Flame and her best friend Icemaiden managed to get themselves inducted into the JLI where they served a lengthy tour (JLIA-014). The pair eventually changed their names to simply "Fire" and "Ice." As a result of the Dominators' "gene bomb" that was released during an alien invasion, Fire's powers were dramatically increased , but were less reliable than they used to be (INVASION #3, JLIA-028).

Originally, Fire could emit only a short green flame from her mouth, but the Meta-Gene Bomb detonated during the Dominator Invasion greatly augmented her abilities. Now, she can completely engulf herself in green flame, enabling her to fly, pass through solid objects, and throw bolts of flaming energy. The true extent of her powers remains unknown.
