===New Warriors===
Shortly after her resignation from the Massachusetts Academy, Firestar became a founding member of the [[New Warriors]] when she was invited (or rather blackmailed) by [[Night Thrasher]] into joining, and helped them battle [[Terrax]].<ref>''The New Warriors'' #1</ref> She also aided Night Thrasher against [[Midnight's Fire]].<ref>''The New Warriors'' #2</ref> She also helped [[Thor (Marvel Comics)|Thor]] defeat the [[Juggernaut (character)|Juggernaut]] alongside the New Warriors.<ref>''Thor'' #411-412</ref> The team battled the [[Mad Thinker]] and [[Primus (Marvel Comics)#Primus I|Primus]],<ref>''The New Warriors'' #3</ref> and then battled [[Psionex]].<ref>''The New Warriors'' #4</ref>

The team battled the second [[Star Thief]] and [[Iron Monger|Stane International]]'s [[Mandroid]]s. With teammates [[Vance Astrovik|Marvel Boy]] and [[Namorita]], and the Star Thief, she launched into space aboard a Stane rocket.<ref>''The New Warriors'' #5</ref> They encountered the [[Inhumans]] and the [[Uatu|Watcher]] on the Moon. With the help of [[Black Bolt]] and the Star Thief, she destroyed the Stane rocket containing [[hazardous waste]].<ref>''The New Warriors'' #6</ref>

Back on Earth, the New Warriors battled the [[Force of Nature (comics)|Force of Nature]] in a Brazilian jungle, and rescued teammate [[Robbie Baldwin|Speedball]]'s mother.<ref>''The New Warriors'' #7-9</ref> The New Warriors also battled the [[Emma Frost|White Queen]] and her Hellions.<ref>''The New Warriors'' #10</ref>

Eventually, she fell in love and became engaged to teammate Vance Astrovik (also known as [[Vance Astrovik|Justice]], formerly [[Marvel Boy#Others|Marvel Boy]]).<ref>''The New Warriors'' #75</ref> She later discovered that using her microwave powers could eventually render her [[infertility|infertile]].<ref>''The New Warriors'' #64</ref>

During a revenge scheme by a gang of thugs called the Poison Memories, Firestar's father was shot in the chest.<ref>''The New Warriors'' #37</ref> He nearly died but recovered.<ref>''The New Warriors'' #43</ref> Firestar also faced a time without Vance, as he had to serve a prison term for the involuntary slaying of his own abusive father.<ref>''The New Warriors'' #20-26</ref>

Firestar also provided vital assistance in helping Spider-Man tackle [[Carnage (comics)|Carnage]] during "[[Maximum Carnage]]", when he was also forced to ally himself with [[Eddie Brock|Venom]], [[Black Cat (Marvel Comics)|Black Cat]] and [[Morbius]] to stop Carnage's reign of slaughter. Her microwave power proved the only weapon truly effective against Carnage following his 'upgrade'—his vulnerability to sonics having been weakened—but she still refused to kill Carnage, even to stop his murders.<ref>''The Spectacular Spider-Man'' #202</ref> For a time, she was briefly attracted to Spider-Man's clone, [[Ben Reilly]], when he joined the New Warriors under the identity of the Scarlet Spider,<ref>''The New Warriors'' #62</ref> but their relationship never went beyond an interest due to Firestar's engagement to Justice and Reilly's secrecy causing him to avoid revealing his identity.
