Īfter the Phoenix Force returned to Earth and set up a tournament amongst Earth's heroes to determine which of them would become its next avatar, Thor confronted it. Jean managed to escape, and the firebird withdrew when Jean's adult incarnation - which it had resurrected - also refused to become its host again. When the time-displaced teenage incarnation of Jean Grey refused to become the Phoenix Force's avatar, it trapped her in the White Hot Room - where Firehair and the other former avatars battled her. As such, Firehair proved to be the first of many human mutants to host the Phoenix Force, with Jean Grey, Rachel Summers, and Hope Summers following in her footsteps. The Phoenix Force kept Firehair's consciousness suppressed in the White Hot Room, but she nevertheless exerted a degree of subconscious influence over it - causing it to instinctively seek out hosts from Earth - with a preference for red-haired women with psionic abilities. She seemingly stopped being the Phoenix Force's avatar at an unknown period of time and eventually died, her essence being preserved inside the White Hot Room with the other Phoenix avatars. What ultimately became of Firehair is unknown, though she entered into a romantic relationship with Odin and survived for longer than any of her comrades, save for him. Afterwards, Firehair and her allies battled the First Host sent to judge Earth, and went on to face many other threats to the Earth the devil Mephisto and his minions, time-travelling would-be despots, and a young Thanos among them. The Avengers eventually defeated the Fallen and sealed in an underground chamber in what would become the modern-day country of South Africa. During the Avengers' battle against the corrupted cosmic god, Firehair struck the Fallen with flames hot enough to melt a supernova, but it withstood her attack without as much as a scratch. One of the most-powerful enemies the Avengers battled was the Fallen, an out-of-control Celestial who unbeknownst to them was corrupted by the Horde. Together, she and Odin recruited the demigod sorcerer Agamotto, the Black Panther - chief of the Panther Tribe, the demonically-empowered Ghost Rider, Fan Fei - first wielder of the Iron Fist, and Vnn - bearer of the cosmic Starbrand. Years later, Firehair recruited the Asgardian deity Odin Borson - intent on forming an alliance with other supernatural and mystically-augmented beings. Consumed by vengeful rage, Firehair nearly gave into the firebird's bloodlust and became a Dark Phoenix, but was pacified by the wolf who had saved her as an infant and decided to use her powers to protect those weaker than herself rather than destruction. Drawn to Firehair's untapped raw psychic power, the Phoenix bonded to her and sought to use her to fulfill its intended purpose - razing planets to ashes.
As she lay awaiting death, the Phoenix Force - who had created the Burnt Place when it first arrived on Earth - manifested and saved her from the buzzards.
Firehair blamed herself for her mentor and friends' deaths and was overcome with despair, contemplating turning her powers on herself to commit suicide and returning to the Burnt Place to be eaten by the buzzards. Firehair fainted as her fellow pupils gave into rage and attacked the attacking tribesmen, resulting in the deaths of everyone present save herself. As Highwalker attempted to talk down the tribesmen to buy his charges time to escape, Firehair's newly awakened psychic abilities were overwhelmed by the humans' fear and rage, resulting in the Highwalker's death when he dropped his guard to soothe her. Some time later, Firehair's own mutant abilities awakened just in time for her to warn the Highwalker of an impending attack by the neighboring xenophobic tribes. Reluctantly leaving her pack, Firehair joined the Tribe Without Fear - a collection of mutants that the man - who Firehair called the Highwalker - had rescued from the Burnt Place and taken upon himself to raise and train. Initially fleeing in fear, she later followed the man out of curiosity and befriended him, learning that he could only communicate via telepathy and move using psychokinesis. When she was ten, Firehair discovered a child with one eye had been left at the Burnt Place, and was confronted by a floating man who spoke to her with his mind. Rescued by a pack of wolves, she grew up as a member of the pack - occasionally returning to the Burnt Place to chase the giant buzzards that dwelled there.
As an infant, Firehair was abandoned by her parents at the " Burnt Place" - a permanently razed clearing where the xenophobic surrounding tribes sacrificed anyone who deviated in any way from their norms - due to her red hair.
